Gym Direct Reviews

"I brought an Olympic bar for my husband's birthday and I still haven't received it. My husband has called Gym direct twice now over the last 2 weeks and has been told both times they're chasing it up, but no one gets back to us and we've had to chase gym direct. \r\n\r\nThis was not a cheap product and I used my disability pension to buy it, it was a big purchase to make, and the fact that it's looking more and more like we've been ripped off is really upsetting. \r\n\r\nThe tracking number says it's sitting in a town about an hour up the road from us. \r\n\r\nIt was supposed to have been delivered on the 19th of January and I purchased it two weeks before that to make sure it came on his Birthday and the 19th was his birthday!\r\nSo, not only did he get nothing for his birthday, but now I'm $350 out of pocket and he has to train for his upcoming competition at a commercial gym instead of his own because his old bar is too smooth. (Hence buying him a new bar). \r\n\r\nThe reason I'm writing this review is because gym direct sent me an email asking me to review the product I just purchased....but I can't review a product I never received.\r\n\r\n"

"The FT1006 Plate Loaded Functional Trainer \/ Squat Rack is the ideal home gym product IMO. I say this with a minor caveat that, if you are experienced training on home gyms and you know how gym equipment (with cables) are put together and operate you will get alot out of the FT1006, but the instructions are not designed for anyone who hasn't got some idea how to build this type of equipment without instructions.\r\nAnyone who currently has a half rack\/squat rack with barbell\/plates, you need to upgrade to the FT1006 just for the 100's of exercises it will add to your programming. This build is quite solid but the cross bar that joins the two uprights could offer a bit more rigidity. For the cost it's an absolute bargain to get a fully adjustable Functional Trainer and Squat Rack in one compact piece of equipment... it definitely needs to be bolted to the ground and you have to accept it's not a premium product. Outside of that, the FT1006 offers a level of flexibility and expandability that I haven't seen before at this price point, it's a unique design that suites everyone but leans towards those who prefers barbell\/dumbbell style of training (like me), hence why I have given 5 stars... (but it's not perfect)"
