Where to buy home gym equipment (weights etc) in the UK?

Hey guys.

Does anyone know of any good shops that sell a good range of home gym equipment (weights and associated) in the UK?

I'm trying to build up some basic equipment as I have recently cancelled my gym membership and am looking at working out from home (doing Bodyrock, 30 Day Shred and the likes...)

So far I have a fitness mat, dumbells and weighted medicine ball....

Sports Direct have nothing!!

Thanks in advance..

Amazon.co.uk for weights. They sometimes have decent offers.

try argos online they have good stuff.

Have a look on your local freecycle, theres usually sports equipment going for free. Also try ebay. Search for particular items and order the search by items closest to you/for collection.

If you want to buy retail, have a look at JJB Sports. They have more stuff online than they do in the shops.

Online seems best for serious equipment. See Powerhouse.co.uk - tho I havent personally bought anything from them I did browse.
I recently bought a 50kg set of York weights (barbell, dumbells and plates) through amazon. Cheap and the delivery was fast and trackable. Im pleased with it

Or ebay

Online I'm afraid. Argos is dog egg. You might as well go to Tesco and pay less for the exact same shoddy equipment.

Hi,

I also gave up my membership and now workout at home, which I prefer! I got a pull up bar, a fitness bench and some adjustable dumbells from Ebay, a fitness mat from Argos and I also got some dumbbells from Powerhouse Fitness who I would definitely recommend as both times I have ordered from them have had no problems at all! I also got a treadmill through a catalogue and everything went smoothly with ordering and the delivery of that.

Other avenues to look at would be Gum Tree and Preloved for secondhand stuff.

I have purchased various dvds through Amazon Uk too.

Good luck with the search.

Hi - I had the same problem! All I wanted was a basic weights bench with no added bits all over it so that it was easy to store and keep in the house. I ended up finding a lovely fold-flat one on ebay (from www.fitness-superstore.co.uk). Looking forward to that arriving.

I was actually at Powerhouse Fitness yesterday. It would be a bit of a treck for you - it's in Batley, off M62 J28. What I found was that they had a good range of cast iron (and other) weights, an incredible array of protein powders and the like, but all the machinery was a bit massive and hardcore, so if you haven't got a designated gym room at home, it'd be a nightmare to store.

But like I said, the weights selection was pretty good. The best I've found locally. Not cheap though ...
