-
The weight (measured in newtons, N) is equal to the mass (kilograms, kg) multiplied by the gravitational field strength (newtons per kilogram, N/kg).

At the gym: this would be easier on the Moon, where the gravitational field of strength is lower.

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The mass of an object is constant. It is the same on Earth, on the Moon and in space.
The weight of an object is the force that acts on the object when it is in a gravitational field. Weight is equal to mass multiplied by the gravitational field strength.
