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. '

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.
