    Also, drop some of the small boutique gyms a note - they might be willing to rent or sell you some of their gear to raise some cash.

    Rower

    I am looking for a Concept 2 rower.
    But very difficult to find 2nd hand.
    New.one is too costly for me.

    If you have a Nintendo Switch, give Fitness Boxing a go. Good fun, and a pretty impressive workout. It won't replace my bench press, but it might keep me from going into an oversized pudding in the short term.

    I bought some kettlebells from this place in Kwai Chung. Decently priced.

    Been buying equipment on Taobao over the last month: got some of those Olympic plate dumbbells, among other things. I'm considering quitting the gym and just using the Olympic plates at my building's gym with the dumbbell handles. Will need to buy more plates to deadlift with, but I may just leave the extra plates in the building gym for everyone else to use (or lug them down there and back a few times a week)!
