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.

Online stores

Gymworld.co.uk This is an online fitness superstore that stocks all forms of weight plates and olympic weight sets. Prices vary depending on the weight of the plates needed, the brand or the number of extras included in the set. Fitness-superstore.co.uk As well as having a string of showrooms throughout the country as detailed above, they also have an online store offering a great range of weights at discounted prices. The price online does not vary from store prices, but delivery costs have to be taken into consideration. Amazon.co.uk This is a website synonymous with stocking a wide range of different items from a diverse range of specialist areas. It comes as no suprise to learn that Amazon also stocks a good range of Olympic weight sets. Prices vary greatly, but the site has the added bonus of a customer review section beneath the product, that offers a potential purchaser an unbiased opinion on the products. Ebay.co.uk This is another site known for its range of items. Ebay offers the choice of both second-hand and new weight sets. It is excellent for potential purchasers who like to get a bargain or want to save money over a brand new set. Forums Muscletalk.co.uk and Uk-muscle.co.uk are forums dedicated to weight-lifting.
