Where to order fitness equipment?

LookingFor

So I'm in the market for some dumbbells and/or dumbbell plates, and an exercise bike, from somewhere that does home delivery.

Argo seems to be completely sold out of the decent look bikes they have..seems everyone's buying into them in Jan! And their dumbbell stuff isn't home delivery.

Is there anywhere I can order this stuff online? Doesn't even have to be Irish, as long as it delivers here that's fine.

(Looking for a good bike, electro-mag, not a 8-step manual tension control..Argos had some great looking ones, and cheap too, it would be great if there was somewhere online like that).

Thanks in advance!

Off topic - Just wait until March and you will get all the bikes above on ebay!

On topic - Is there a reason why you cannot get a standard bike, skipping rope, or just swim or run outdoors? You'll get pretty bored on a bike a home, even with a book or watching tv. I find alot of the enjoyment I get from exercising is getting out of familiar surroundings with fresh air, different people and new sights.

I've had a bike before, and I was fine with it, I just need to replace it now.

I tend to do my cardio first thing in the morning, early, and I much prefer to do that indoors myself. I do 20 minutes, high intensity, so it seems uneconomical to spend 40 minutes going to the gym and back just to do that, also.

I also can't really wait until March But cheers.

www.irish-lifting.com will do home delivery on weights sets.

In relation to a bike leave it for the moment and see if you keep up doing weights exercises, as far more often then not people who get exercise bikes don't use them and they end up just being in the way. So if you can keep the weights up then maybe getting a bike would be a good idea but if you can't chances are you would be saving you money on a massive door stop

Thanks for the link! I'll have a look

As for the bike..this isn't some new year's resolution thing. I've been using a bike for yonks, I've been at the gym for over a year. I just want to replace my old bike and get some heavier dumb bells because it's just more convenient to do some stuff at home

Also, I found this place : http://www.hfhomefitnesscentre.com/ They do home delivery anywhere in Ireland, I think..
