It depends wholly on from where the weight comes.

A Decathelete that weights 210 and has a 7% body fat is obese by BMI.

I ran into this crap in the IDF all the time because I pushed the BMI off the scale while have a sub-10% body fat.

Do what most of us active people do when we want an accurate measurement of fitness, use a body fat scale.
