This shop seems to be pricey on some things, reasonable with others and is about half hour away from me, but this is an absolute joke
Nothing more than a core fitness rip off, yet they'll cost way more at $1300 AUD
Should be around $700 imo

Core fitness, American brand, $329 USD there, so just over $500 AUD converted
Both adjustable dumbbells are roughly the same weight too (around the 25kg/50lb mark) and do the same job, the core stand is probably worth around $100, so about a $650 equivalent in total stand and dumbbells
The Core ones or the MX ones?If I had to properly set up my own gym, I would definitely outlay for those adjustable dumbbells. Its been both tiresome and tedious to constantly change and ensure collars are secure.

Man there's some pathetic price gauging going on in the Victorian dumbbell market on Gumtree
$7 a kilo on average from what I've seen
Commercial suppliers average between $3-5 a kilo
I hope this second hand gauging goes all winter tbf, allowing me time to save and get in that Ironmaster packageI dont know which adjustable I would get, as I normally like to do plenty of research, reviews, youtube, looking at ads etc etc.
However, I wouldnt buy anything now. I would wait till gyms reopen in a months time for a price drop.
I did post on here however, a home barbell and dumbbell set for sale by Rebel immediately after gyms were closed. No one bothered to comment or quote my post and I guess it got lost it was available on line for at least 5 days after the govt announced gyms would be closed. Absolute bargain. In hindsight, I probably should have bought 2 sets. Selling the 2nd one for double the price. At the time it was only about $120 on sale too, down from $200. Transporting it though was another issue very in cumbersome with the weight sets and barbell.

I bought that same cheap set a couple of years ago just to do some basic exercises, still use it.I did post on here however, a home barbell and dumbbell set for sale by Rebel immediately after gyms were closed.

NiceYep, adjustable dumbbells are the biggest downside of a home gym. I'll eventually get a proper set or those ironmasters one day.
I have this cable attachment for my cage coming in a few weeks and I should be able to use that for some dumbbell movements too.

Nice
You have an oldish rack yeah?
How does the dimensions fit up?
Must've been your dumbbells or something then I was thinking of, lol
Agreed
Do crossfitters even bench?
Seen a few crossfit garage gyms on YouTube, the lack of benches in them are concerning imo
What have you or other cross fitters been doing during this time of gym closure?
The dumbells weigh about 1.5kg each, all 3 are supposed to be 10kg total so yeah that would make the barbell about 7kg.Just curious, is the dumbbell bar 1kg and barbell about 7kg ?
