Where to buy olympic weight sets

Olympic weight sets are fast becoming a standard piece of equipment in most gyms. For those wanting to replicate the professional gym feel at home, Olympic weight sets are a great purchase to make. This article will look at the best places to purchase olympic weight sets.

Retailers

High Street stores Since olympic weights are more of a specialist's gym weight, a lot of the High Street stores do not carry them. If you are lucky, you may find Olympic plates in places like Jjb, Sportsdirect and Intersport. Fitness Superstore To prevent a wasted trip, places that specialise in weight training are the best places to buy weights. Fitness Superstore has a range of shops up and down the country, including Northampton, Manchester, Chester, Gloucester, Surrey, Kent and London. Argos If there are still no stores close enough, then Argos carries a range of fitness equipment, including Olympic bars and plates. Not all Argos stores carry stock, but they do offer a stock checker on their website and in store, where stock can also be reserved for 24 hours.
