I just started outfitting my first home gym, as well as working for two gyms and a personal training studio with all manner of equipment needs. I started looking at more local and regional companies to help support local business as well as minimize shipping costs. Being in the southeast, there has thus far been no better choice than Vulcan. Vulcan has the best quality kettlebells and bumper plates that I've encountered for the price. If you're looking for the happiest compromise between budget and professional high-quality, you've come to the right place. Vulcan also has the most responsive customer service I've seen in a training equipment company. Fast shipping and plenty of communication. Really, I've only got good to say. If you're a professional who wants to deal with other true professionals, Vulcan is your company.
