Buying dumb weights / bench in Bangkok

[ryanhull]

Hi all,

I recently went on a mission to find some weights and a decent bench so thought I would leave some feedback for others looking for them, feel free to add any reviews:

FBT sports goods store / soi 65, Ramkhamhaeng Road

www.fbtsports.com/en/store

Good selection here for decent range equipment, ideal if you only want a non gym standard setup but better quality then your cheap stuff. I paid 18,000Bhat for a bench press with preacher bench, lots of weights including 2 14kg plates + bars. Website is not updated so don't bother with that.

Ultimate Fitness Ultimate Fitness Co., Ltd. 45 Moo 4 Ramkhamhaeng Rd 3rd floor

This is for your more higher quality gear equipment, I went in and it was a bit out of my price range but really nice equipment.. more gym standard stuff, good if you have more space. The owner Chris was very helpful and honest speaking good English.

Big C

I bought some one dumbbell from here, weights bars/plates are a none standard sizes so you wont be able to use the weights or the bars on other setups plus for what you get it is quite expensive.

Look around as the sites category for gym stuff seem a bit dotted around, however the gear looks ok quality.

Thanks

Great guy, but his delivery times have gone up. A friend of mine had to wait over a month for his stuff, he lived like me a bit out of BKK.

I shaggy has good stuff, Chris from ultimate fitness too (even higher quality)
