"Although it can be used as a tool to help measure certain aspects of fitness it does not provide a good overall indication of health and here at athletics we have chosen to move away from focusing solely on bodyweight,"

Next remove the numbers from weights. Because, although the mount of weight you're lifting can be used as a tool to help measure certain aspects of fitness it does not provide a good overall indication of health.

Remove speed from treadmills and exercise bikes. Then remove all timers and clocks. Although they can be used as a tool, they don't provide a good overall indication of health either.

Carleton University comes under heavy criticism after gym scale removed - Ottawa - CBC News

'"Next it will be the mirrors. #bringbackthescale," wrote one Carleton student on Facebook, while another said online, "Are you for real, Carleton?'

'Carleton University is feeling the burn from students on social media for removing a weight scale from its gym to promote a more holistic approach to a healthy body image. '

'In 2015, gym staff at the California State University removed its weight scales from locker rooms for one day in honour of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. '

'The scale was removed two weeks ago "in keeping with current fitness and social trends," Marshall explained in his email. '

'Aidan Patten, a 21-year-old Carleton music student, said the scale controversy is generating some heated debate among his friends. '
