Scales at gyms

  • I'm at university, and I have a set of scales at home but not in my uni halls. I wanted to go and weigh myself in the sports centre, but i'm not sure how reliable the scales will be there, as I used to work in a leisure centre and the scale we had there were about 15 pounds off. Is there anywhere else there would be scales that are reliable?
    also, I read that the best time to weigh yourself was in the morning before breakfast, but I'm never at the sports centre that early, so is there a different time anyone can recommend?
    thanks, jo
  • If you want consistancy in accuracy just make sure you weigh in at approx. the same time of the day when you do it.
  • I know what you mean about the "gym scales"

    There is about a 9lb differance between my scale at home and the scale at the Gym.

    It kinda bothered me at first...then when i saw them both going down i wasn't so disapointed.
