    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but anyway...

    The title says it all, I'm looking to invest in some dumbells(Around the Dublin/Wicklow area) for weight training...etc.

    Just some cheap 10-20kg dumbells and a jump rope. What place sells them for a reasonable price?

    5 - 10 KG aren't really going to do much for you. Your going to need a decent bit more than that.

    Argos has pretty much all you need to start off, not too expensive either
