Gym & Misc Cheap home gym equipment

[vWestCoast]

For someone who can't always get to the gym I need to buy some things to keep me fit during the off season.

I was just thinking the basic equipment, lighter weights, bought that tower 200 a while ago and it's good for a quick workout at home.

So if any of you guys know any online shops or even if you've seen a good deal at rebel for fitness ball it'd be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest you to try Amazon, you can find some good deals on home gym equipment. You could also try Ebay, Craigslist and also check some garage sales and used store.

Dumbbells for sale

Yes a chin bar or a dip/chin would be best for quicker workouts, I would use ebay..

One way to be cheap is to improvise. Use things around the home. Fill milk cartons up with sand. Carry heavy bags, etc.

Buy a straight bar, a rack, 2 adjustable dumbells , an adjustable bench and a range of weights.
That is really all you need .

The best cheap home gyms are found online. Your local retailer will not have near the variety as website that specializes in selling cheap home gyms. It can seem a daunting task to order a large piece of gym equipment and have it delivered to your home, but it is actually really easy.

Another alternative when looking for cheap home gyms is to scour the classifieds. Local classified ads can be a hotbed. Many people buy exercise equipment and then never use it. After, a few years they simply want to get rid of it. Classifieds can be a great place to find low cost exercise equipment. The problem is you may not find what you really want or need.

Does anyone know anywhere in Melbourne that sells 0.5kg plates? Preferably in the East or North east.

Otherwise is there anyone online who sells them in Oz?

The online stores others have posted in this forum aren't too crash hot for cheap equipment. Are there any stores that sell plates for $1 a kg? Looking at buying four 20kg plates, and was told I could possibly get them online for a total of $80, excluding delivery.

Chin up bar for the door and a weight vest will allow you to do a lot at home.

Probably only cost you $250 all up.

Engine block on the end of a pulley, once were warriors style

Milk cartons full of sand for a strong kettlebell.

For more inspiration please see the montage scene in Rocky IV.

Yep, pulling a cart full of russian peasants is great for the quads

There are never enough russian peasants around when you really need them.
