Marsden MBF-6000 Body Composition Scales

What is the Marsden MBF-6000 Body Composition Scale?

The Marsden MBF-6000 is a Class III Approved body composition scale which is widely used in hospitals and gyms – and increasingly by sports clubs. Marsden body composition scales are closer to DEXA standard than any other body composition scale tested.

This scale has a printer for a permanent record of all the readings; this also makes it perfect for monitoring key fitness data for sports professionals, semi-professionals and the serious amateur athlete.

What is a body composition scale?

A body composition scale is a weighing scale that provides multiple measurements giving you a clearer image of body health that simply taking a weight cannot provide. All Marsden body composition scales are Class III Approved.

Why should I choose the Marsden MBF-6000?

Body composition scales use bioelectrical impedance to estimate the fat content of your body. When you step onto the scale, a very safe and very small electrical current passes through your body. Electrical current flows through water, fat and muscle mass at different speeds, and therefore the scale can calculate how a body is composed of these elements based on the speed of the current.
