White boards = Win ha ha

Pro fitness are def worth calling to. Paul is a gentleman and will chat to you on the phone or online for as long as you require and is as honest and nice a guy I have dealt with (dont know him personally).

Is it wrong to want to buy a house to stick a gym in it ?

I love the look of the set up in Wendlers gaff...

No.
I shudder at the thought of going to a gym again.

That's seriously nice. Although you'd need a pretty big house to have that much space to dedicate to your gym setup.

Time for a refund which I'm sure will be just as painful as every other part of their 'customer service'.....thank god for credit card charge back, which I'll initiate if they don't refund me by this day next week

It's quite sad that there are so many bad reports about Irish Lifting under the current owners. Mick was ahead of his time setting it up circa 2007, I got quite excited at the time as can be seen from this thread
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...php?p=54208561

Since then I think there has been an increase in the popularity of both strength sports and home gyms, there are more Irish suppliers, more competition and IME UK suppliers are now more amenable to shipping to Ireland. If Irish Lifting gets a name for giving poor service I don't see it surviving.

So is Irish Lifting a no go? Even if I planned on collecting from them?

Have any of you guys got any other reputable and decent priced sellers in Ireland?

Olympic weights, benches, dumbells, possibly other equipment.

They have sweet fa in stock last time I was on to them.

I'd go with somewhere else, got my weights off myhomefitness.ie and had no hassle.

I got Irommaster dumbbells from www.valleyfitness.co.uk. they are expensive compare to other adjustable dumbbells, but there quality is unreal. they are adjustable from 2-34kg and you can get additional plates to take them to 54kg. I think there is even custom plates to make them 74kg. They also have a lifetime guarantee.

He's a nice bloke and I'd recommend giving him a call. He'd recommend you a good starter kit.
