How much room do you have for equipment?
Measure your home space
Take a tape measure and determine how much width, length and height of floor space you have available to give up for Gold's gym equipment.
This practice is particularly important when you are buying Gold's gym equipment over the Internet or through a brochure, as you will not be able to see the equipment before you buy. Note down your space's measurements in both centimetres and inches so that you can be sure when you are ordering Gold's gym equipment.

Search various general online stores, such as Argos, and sports shops, including JJB Sports and Sports Direct, to find the best possible deal on your Gold's gym equipment. When ordering online or through a catalogue, remember that you have to pay a postage and packaging excess charge.
