Obviously, you could go with Orbit Health and Fitness. But I find them overpriced for most things. You can probably get a decent set of shit from Allsports (the old Rowe and Jarman) But then again, it depends what you wanna spend.

I would look in the quokka, no doubt u will find someone selling one cheap enough, just depends on if u want other people's smelly gym equip in ur house!

I'm guessing you'll want something to hang the bar from too. And a bench you could put on an incline. And possibly some leg extensions. And maybe some lat pulldown action too. Here it is $299. I'm getting one of these but waiting for some sort of Xmas/New Years special http://www.rebelsport.com.au/ecom/re....aspx?id=11549


Look out in the New Year, gonna be pulling the safety off the guns rofl

EDIT: F'n hell Kym, you weren't wrong about how much they charge!!! Holy Jebus is crying over those prices

Shopping around can be worth it, I did the rounds with a mate and prices can vary a lot we found a exercise bikefor $350ish at Nordic in East Perth and some other place on Scab beach rd had the same thing for $600. weights are normally around the same price per kg but you can save on a bench.

Cheapest place I found was on Drake st in Oz Park which was hard to find as it had minimal signage.

yep, build quality is pretty good too. Nice solid welds, fairly thick tubing etc. The problem I've had with other benches before is the bench part where your back goes starts to roll from side to side after time, which works some extra muscles to get the bar up straight (no pun intended ) but it's fkn annoying when you're trying to bench at your limit. This one is similar to those others. Spending a bit more for one of the type that lock on both sides at different inclines would be better but then you might as well go to a gym for the cost
