How we select equipment
We don’t sell what’s in the warehouse. We ask first: how do you train, how much space do you have, what’s your goal and budget — and only then recommend specific units.

Most common equipment-buying mistakes
➜ Buying weights that are too light — after 3 months they’re too easy ➜ Cheap treadmill — noisy, weak electronics, doesn’t survive intensive training ➜ No flooring — first dropped weight destroys the slab ➜ Equipment too large for the room — check dimensions with a 60 cm clearance all round
