Official Home Gym Building Thread

Weird, i was just looking at that one, i think i might hold off till friday, order that set a new bench at the same time
 
Well, the time has come to dismantle the home gym. It's not been used for about 8mths now and i'm back as a gym member at the local hotel which i'm enjoying more than i did working out alone. Not sure if it's against the rules, but the kit i have is listed below, wondered what I should be looking at 2nd hand for it, no dinks or dings as i'm a bit OCD. I've already got a mate who is interested, but i havent really got a clue about 2nd hand value of this type of kit:

Bodycraft F430 Power Rack
Bodycraft F602 Bench
Oly bar, oly dumbells (a right pita to use!), oly e-z curl with 140kg weights
Vision X1500 X-Trainer
Punch Bag/Speed bag
Floor Matting

i have stated in this thread multiple times, oly dumbells are terrible and unsafe imo without proper clamps.

ironmasters or proper individual dumbells are full of win.

your better off trying to sell it to someone at the gym tbh.
 
I'm in Leeds. The oh dumbbells have got proper collars, which is why they are a pita to use to change weights. The mate who wants to buy the stuff is a regular council gym users, been at it for years and used to be a fitness instructor at David Lloyd etc so knows his way around kit, I'm just a bit stumped as to what would be a fair price. If I add it all up on rrp it comes in at just over £2k, I was thinking around 500 for the weights bits and 300 for the x-trainer.
 
£700-£800 would be my estimate, it depends on how good the x-trainer is and how good the matting is, the oly dumbells would be "worthless" imo as they are such a pita to use.

£150 - bench
£225 - power rack
£175 - weights and bars
£50 - both boxing bags

is how i would price it up. matting and cross trainer is depends on their quality tbh, looking at the picture of the cross trainer on the site it doesn't look like it is worth its rrp of £900. matting if rubber is worth money, if it is eva foam it's not worth a lot, if its foam its worth nothing.
