Home workout equipment

Hi I am looking for a decent bench and a set of dummbells

I'd like the bench to be very comfortable and not feel like I am sitting on cardboard

anyone got any suggestions or places to buy from - budget £200

I have this, it's rock solid and comfortable: https://mirafit.co.uk/mirafit-m2-adjustable-weight-bench.html

And a bunch of different sets of these: https://mirafit.co.uk/mirafit-dumbbell-hex-weight-set.html

Might be able to get a set of cheaper dumbbells from somewhere else if you want to use 75% of your budget on the bench.

I've seen on Hotukdeals that the mens health benches are decent for the money although can't speak from personal experience.

Thanks have you ever been to virgin active gyms and they have those red benches?

If so, they are padded up really well and I loved them a lot - how does the Mirfit bench compare to that? Is the padding extra thick?

I think getting dumbells from like argos would be better.

Costs vs comfort

Yep since this pandemic started
All of the home workout equipment just got super expensive.

that linked bench looks like the best buy so far

so I managed to find that bench just 2 weeks ago as they had stock in at the time.

I put it together on the weekend, took me about 2 hours
solid bench! Thanks for the suggestion.

just a struggle to find more weights for my db bars .

At one point I got 1 part the wrong way around but quickly realised the error.
