Over the last couple of years I have shopped a lot for odds and ends at second hand shops like TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshall’s, Play It Again Sports, etc. I have gotten some real quality products at some amazing savings over MSRP.

What can I add. For new stuff I doubt there is a better place than the IDEA World Fitness Convention. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find some great deals at used sports equipment stores. . Power Systems and Perform Better are excellent resources, and you can also find some great deals on e-bay if you have the time and patience to search.

Take care.

I used google search, e-bay, amazon, Craigslist and some local stores to buy most of my gear. Shopping around is what I think is best way for best deals. Also, January is a good month for NEW equipment sales.

I use Perform Better and Power Systems for most of my needs. The best thing to do is spend some time researching different companies, websites, brands, locations(for shipping price reasons, and references if you are making big purchases.

I have never worked for a gym and have only been in my own studio, so I have had to search for the best prices for everything since I was starting from scratch. I happened to find a gym that was going out of business through CraigsList and managed to snag a bunch of cheap weights off of the owners hands.
Big Fitness also has some great prices on things.
However, Amazon is my go to place, since I can easily shop around and find the best price while also seeing all the customer reviews, which help immensely.
