OT: local fitness/weightlifting stores?

[amheck]

Hey gang,

I was thinking about building a small home gym and would like to hit some local stores to check out some equipment. Looking for something perhaps a step up from Dicks, Sports Authority, etc. Stuff like power racks, Olympic weight sets, adjustable dumbbells, a bench.

Any suggestions for stores that I could check out?

I would check on Craig's list. Most people buy a home gym then don't use them after awhile

Busy Body/Gyms to Go on N Dale Mabry is where the ex and I got our smith machine, rowing machine, and some other equipment. They delivered and set up.

Craigslist - I'm still checking, but it seems that most of the stuff is all rusty (as far as the weights go) but yeah, I'll keep my eye out.

Amanda - thanks for the name

I looked at all the equipment at those stores I ended up getting a nautilus smith machine setup.

try out play it again sports on 4th street and 54th ave. right next to CVS on the corner. they have a ton of used equipment. the price is a bit higher for used stuff but way cheaper then new and its all very clean

If you are searching for power racks in Vancouver, search "power racks Vancouver" in Google.

Wait 2-4 months and then search for used items. Right now everybody is buying this stuff for new years resolutions. They will loose interest and then want to sell

I use to sell equipment, Gym Source tampa or sarasota. Also when clients wanted to sell equipment we always told them to use Craigslist. So search in Sarasota because those people give the stuff away because they no longer use it or they are moving all the time. If you have any questions about really nice brands or deals I can help as best as possible

Sounds good!
