Most "medical" style scales in gyms & public places are mistreated & can be out of balance. The home digital type have a + / - rating of X % Their cheaply made too.
I'd stick with the medical type scale.
I also noticed that I way more at "X" gym then "Y" could be the scale is not properly balanced AND one gym is at a higher elevation then the other.

1. Electromagnetic balancing type
2. Electrical resistance wire type

Mechanicals ain't that much better but fixing it surely is easier lol
The counterbalance is more accurate because it uses a calibrated weight instead of an internal digital calibration. Computers are more likely to fail than a weight.
they shouldn't. The digital scale should be accurate. If the beam scale is old perhaps it isn't accurate any longer.
