Were do u buy your weights

Maximum · 03-03-2002, 11:00 PM

So I know several of you have suggested buying from the fitnessfactory.com for equipment but what about weight plates I been looking online and really can't find any places that sell olympic weight plates and bars.

I know where to buy plates at 45cents a pound and was wanting to know if anyone has bought weight at less than 45 cents online

SteveDeBeave · 03-03-2002, 11:05 PM

45 cents is a good price but then you add in shipping it sucks. I bought some iron for 49 cents locally and thought I got a great deal.

Fitnessfactory.com does sell iron but I've never priced out their shipping cost's.

Well, I live in the desert, so I either drive until I find what I want, or use FFO. I ordered a 300lb Oly set (meaning plates and bar) after I moved out here recently and it cost $189 total (shipping was $90).

Not the greatest deal around, but better than the local dealers I checked at. If you can find it locally cheaper, by all means do that.
If you can't - FFO ain't a bad place to shop and they carry alot of stuff. Too bad they don't have free shipping on everything

BTW, I thought delievery was quick - about a week to NM. Overall, I'm happy with FFO.

Check local dealers first

Always do, was just wondering if their where places online that sold plates and weights but can't find any, but the best deal I get is from local dealer

Fitnessfactory.com charges $59 shipping on their 300lb. olympic sets which takes it to $158 total per set.

Local places are still less

**Prince** · 03-07-2002, 11:28 AM

Local will be the cheapest for plates due to shipping charges, and $.45 a pound is a good price.

Mike51 · 03-10-2002, 06:26 PM

does the same hold true for barblls? within the same price range of .45 to .50 per lb?

Mike51 · 03-10-2002, 06:27 PM

sorry barbells

Maximum · 03-10-2002, 08:53 PM

The barbell was included in the weight, but if you but it not with a set it could be different

Mike51 · 03-10-2002, 08:57 PM

sorry again...I know I typed barbells...but meant to type dumbbells

Maximum · 03-10-2002, 09:16 PM

Keep asking questions man, I know your trying to get to the magic number 25 post

Then you can see the pictures

Mike51 · 03-11-2002, 10:04 AM

so your point is that everybody new on here is just posting to see the pics? I saw one of your other members say that to another newbie and really thought it was rude. If I want to see pics there are lots of places on the web to go beside this place. so fine I wont post anything else and stay at my little 15 post now....hope you and all the rest enjoy your site

**Prince** · 03-11-2002, 10:11 AM

Most online stores only charge shipping on weights.
