Their BMI will register as overweight or obese even though they are in great physical condition. I've seen quite a few trail running ultra-marathoners who were large and muscular and register on the heavy side of the BMI scale but yet they are running 50km or more in a single race. The pace is a bit slower but they are built for endurance rather than speed. Most BMI scales do contain the disclaimer about body builders and other muscular types.

But then I was talking to a police officer who rides a bike for the city and he said his BMI is obese... so perhaps the scale is wrong because he looks amazing.

The cynical Kurt Vonnegut part of me says, well good. We can't all live to be 95 anyway. We don't have the money or the room for it.
