    Where to buy some exercise weights?

    Where can I get some of these babies so I can have a little work out at home? the gym I am a member of has about 1,345,946 members who all go at the same time. It sucks.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Some of the bigger sports stores have them. What kind of stuff were you looking for? Bars, weights, dumbells, benches?

    Usually JUSCO have a dumbell set in their sports section - Although, I must say a 20kg dumbell is not heavy at all.

    Upstairs in the Ocean Terminal, TST. Several of the sports shops have weights.

    Mong Kok, many of the sports shops around Nelson Street stock weights.

    Hey Martin,

    Not wanting to split hairs...

    but for some people, especially those wanting a few weights for "at home", a pair of 20kg dumbells is more than heavy enough. i used to go to the gym and push my body weight around, lift 2/3 my body weight in a bicep curl etc... but old age and time constraints means that i get a better work out, and a better result from a pair of fixed 15kg dumbells and a pilates ball as a bench (great for core stabilising/strengthening). i actually have better tone, and I am in much better shape as a result of it...

    i'd dare say, the original poster is not after a 50kg dumbell, or they'd be hardcore enough to find a gym supplier etc... so the "little" weights from JUSCO that you suggested are probably spot on.

    just my thoughts (and not trying to be a prick).

    BTW, how much do u lift (PM me, if u wish )

    but yes, Marathon, Jusco etc, most these places have some weights. as space is a premium, I'd recommend a gym ball instead of a bench, but that is my bias
