Dear All,
I'm moving back to Malaysia after staying overseas for over 5 years. And during those years I have had my own weights. Since it's a hassle to move all back to Malaysia, I would like to ask fellow LYN members about who, where and how do I get hold of gym stuff for relatively cheap price. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Most stores have pretty hiked up prices when it comes to weights and stuff. Best bang for buck IMO would be to look for second hand plates and visit a metal work shop and get them to construct a power cage for you. I think the dimensions for the cage can be found online.

Oic. You have experience in doing so?

The fitness centre will charged you alot for their items and equipments. If you don't mind, try buying second hand plates and the rest. They are much cheaper that way.

bro,where is ur location? there is a shop at Endah Parade tht sell cheap equipment.i bought my adjustable 10kg dumbell set for only RM190 per pair.PM me if u want the address

RM190 for 10kg adjustable dumbbell is quite expensive mate. I know in malaysia not many have dumbbells but in UK I bought 38kgs adjustable dumbbells for £25. Cast iron as well. So I'm hoping to get around that range. Nevertheless, thank your reply. Much appreciated.

i got the non rubbered ones, only rm88. buy a pair and u get free gloves also.

i mean total 20kg.10 kg on each side.but £25 is a good price...


yup,quite nice though the dumbells,a friend of mine bought a set of them

uiks!! tempting offer

sigh, been wanting to build my own gym, but its really too darn expensive. even for a basic bench + barbell + weights would mean i have to use them for 2 years before i break even with the cost of paying for a gym membership. and frankly i don't think its worth it since i wont have access to the other equipments a proper gym has to offer

Dear Mikehuan,
You should include the cost of parking and petrol cost then you would realize that the break even point would be even earlier. If within 18 months, I think is a good investment.

parking = rm1 per visit.
distance, approx 3 mins by car.

imo, these would come to maybe RM100 in a year? misc spendings dude.

u shud bring back bowflex or powerblock...doesnt matter if it too heavy to bring back, use sea cargo...
some departmental store did sell adjustable dumbbells,bar etc..dunno whether it last long

Sounds better than the metal ones I normally see at hypermarkets

You only visit your gym 100 times a day?

would assume you mean a year. what kinda argument is this? i ain't going to factor in PARKING fees when it comes to training myself. you need to look at bigger pictures

I agree that buying second hand or used weight plates is the cheapest and practical way to go. If you do decide that, consider these tips when buying used weight plates. So what if they're dirty and rusty, you could easily clean and refinish rusted plates.
Good luck in your search.
