Buying dumb weights / bench in Bangkok

Featured Replies

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.

Good post Ryan, thanks for the info.

thanks Ryan will give em a try…. i wish it were for dumbbell curls lol :) …want em for one arm dumbbell rowing and t-bar rowing , i just train at home and have to adapt my exercises to a couple of sets of dumbbells and an old make shift bench

Some budget-prices online stores with similar products

and of course there is Gymware http://www.gymware.com/ Wait time is quite long though.

I also have good experience with Chris from Ultimate Fitness.

I've never waited more than a week ( delivery up country ) for anything from Shaggy at Gymware, great guy - perfect english, great attitude.

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)
