Kharnall Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 You could buy dumbells first and weights , if im not mistaken weights are being sold by kilo. For gym enthusiats , normally horizontal press set and inclines will be good start. a recondition set will be around 10k. for cardio and waist ... thats something else. Quote Link to comment
dedbol Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I wanted something that would last me a long long time........Spent 100 plus also for me nordictrack and that didn't even last me a year if we are to consider actual usage since I was going to Westin for about 2.5 out of the 3 years I owned the machine...it was only the last 6 months that I started using it regularly when the deck of the treadmill cracked...I'm not that big (6'1, 200 lbs)...definitely well below the maximum user weight for the machine. Decided to go with Lifefitness because I see them all the time at healthclubs around the world.....I actually got the the t7 at first but it turned out to be a lemon and the people at Sportfit were servicing the unit almost every other day because the machine had a lot of problems...Finally, I just asked them to replace my unit with a new one but decided against it after seeing the t9i in the showroom. In fairness, the service was great...You'd call them and their service people will be at your place the next day unlike Chris Sports where I bought my previous treadmill from.....It would take you at least 2 weeks of constant phone calls before they show up at your place...I never have any problems with the t9 after and it's built like a tank...By far, one of the best treadmills I've used....The ride is so smooth and the flexdeck is not hard on the knees at all even at high speeds.....Great machine and great service......and when you consider the time and effort of driving to and from the gym everyday in Manila traffic.....I don't really mind paying P360t for it..... san showroom nila? sa pasig ba?

I bought the T-5 for around P300K ( I think, I don't remember anymore the exact amount) and it works beautifully. i do hope you also put an aircon in your gym so that the machine doesn't overheat when you use it. since i bought the treadmill, i decided to go all the way and put a split type aircon together with cable tv in my mini-gym. now, all i need is the willpower to use it.

They have a very impressive array of fitness machinery. I was almost tempted to buy too but I remembered I'm very inconsistent when it comes to doing cardio. Hahaha Quote Link to comment
nimrod22 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I have a collection of plates through out the years, 4x25, 4x15, 8x10, 4x5, 4x2.5. Buti na lang nag invest ako dati sa bakal ang mahal na ng bakal ngayon halos 2x ang presyo. Quote Link to comment
pussynoah Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 i have some gym equipments in my house courtesy of home tv shopping, but i prefer working out in a gym, like slimmers. seeing friends inspires me and pushes me more to my goal, Quote Link to comment
bmwlover Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 You guys should check out Pro Gym Equipment. I went there a few months ago. A full and respectable home gym set will cost about 260k. (Weight training) The stuff they sell are nice. According to them, they provide the gym equipment of a lot of company gyms. Mind you, the set up consists of individual machines/racks/benches. This is not a all-in-one machine they're selling. That's what's so great about it. Sayang, wala pa akong pambayad. Hehe...

impaler1432 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 120/kilo Yep! Got my starter set a couple of days ago. 16, 24 and 32Kg. Planning to get another set and the heaviest they have, the 40Kg bell. Good investment if you ask me. I tried a couple of moves and it's a very demanding tool. Hardcore stuff! Quote Link to comment
