Nope. The weights at Fitness Concept are cheaper than the ones at Carrefour. Tesco I dunno.

Tesco selling the cheapest rubberized one, around RM30+.

I'm hunting for a bench and dumbbell to start workout at home. Been doing survey on the prices and types of bench and dumbbells.

Need your kind advice bcos I've never bought these things before.

For bench: Saw one adjustable bench by Dynamex (Made in Malaysia) selling at RM250. Dynamex homepage doesn't have the picture but it looks like this one http://www.weidermalaysia.com/images/benches/f602.gif . I's quite sturdy and the total package weigh 16kg.

Another 2 models I'm interested in I just see from the picture
Weider 130 [March 2010 promotion price is RM299]: http://image.become.com/imageserver/s4/648...0/thumbnail.jpg

Weider 230 pro [2009 Xmas promotion price is RM272]: http://www.weidermalaysia.com/images/bench...ider_pro230.gif

Of these 3 models. I like Weider 230pro most because It has 4-roll leg lockdown and look sturdier than Weider 130. Dynamex one look 'cheap' and comes with only 2-roll leg lockdown

Hoping Weider will have Father's day promotion in June.

Any advice for a beginner? Which one has best bangs for the buck?

the max I could find is 15 kg in total, so 7.5 in each dumbbells, it's the maxx 15 kg dumbbells.

Why not buy the ones with the removable plates? You can add plates to make it heavier, and unload plates to make it lighter. I'm using the one from Kettler.

hey where did u get the chinup pullup bar ??!??

u can find it in any fitness concept store.

Colyan, you can get it from most fitness shops. Kettler sells them, Fitness Concept too. Or you can make a DIY one, just go to the hardware shop.

might as well post it here. Would like to know where I can get multi-purpose bench i.e. i can do flat, incline and decline workouts. Fitness concept is selling at RM329, i'm aiming around RM250 if possible.

then wait for them to discount lor.
hahahaha

I went to Sunway Pyramid Fitness Concept and saw the model you mentioned - One 0n One Trainer. I asked the branch manager (Ken Tan) what is the price during promotion. He said the price will the the same, only difference is the free gift given. Can I trust his word?

to b honest they seldom reduce price for small items, discounts are usually for big machines

got free gift is better than nth rite?

I broke my One on one trainer doing decline dumbbell chest presses lol.

O_O
i tot it can support up to certain weight!?!?

BEAST!

The wood inside the adjustable seat broke I mean haha. Only 20kg dumbbell per side leh.

I asked the manager also the maximum this bench can support. He said 100kg++. If you're > 60kg, + 20kgx2, + the force exerted while pressing the dumbbell. Can easily exceed 100kg.

Planning to buy a bench from Weider (Weider 130, http://pocketchange.become.com/wp-content/...slant-board.jpg] but currently out of stock, even the display unit has been sold. So I can't visually compare how sturdy Weider 130 and One-on-One Trainer. The Manager said offer price is RM399. Is this a better bench than One-on-One trainer?
