Two scales giving totally different reads?

    The scale in my gym says that I weigh 13 stone, yet when I try to weigh myself using one at home, it says I weigh 14 stone. Is it possible to have such a difference between the two?

    Yes. One may not be calibrated correctly.

    There's often a difference between two but usually not as much as a stone.

    One of them is knackered. Weigh a heavy dumbell in the gym and see is that scales accurate

    You know, that's a fantastic idea and I'll try to out on my scales here with some dumbbells I have here.

    Are you weighing yourself with shoes and clothes on at both locations?

    Maybe the gym scales has been zeroed to allow for clothing.
