Amazing quality

I have bought quite a few bits of equipment from here. Kettlebells dumbbells etc and the quality is amazing. Fast delivery and customer service is great.
Highly recommended if you want quality gear. The prices are very reasonable.

Reliable and High Profile

I've purchased heavy expensive equipment from Best Gym Equipment on three occasions and the company proves to be extremely reliable and provides the best selection of gear.

Purchased a Cybex Bravo cable machine from Best Gym Equipment. Had a minor adjustment issue & Best Gym were fantastic. Organised a technician within 24 hours to visit my home gym & correct.
Great service & nice people to deal with.

Ordered a pump barbell set

Ordered a pump barbell set, then there were some issues with stock and delivery. However their customer service since has been exemplary- an alternate set was received within 48 hours of agreeing to them and I also received a refund. So whilst didn’t get off to the best of starts and had to wait a while overall I am happy

Pre order

We placed an order for a pre-order item that we were happy to wait for. However we received a dispatch alert and the item has not arrived over two weeks later. We have emailed and received one response.. not the response we wanted so we replied but all communication stopped. I’ve tried the chat on their website and can never get further that position 1 in the queue. I’ve tried calling which is useless.. goes to voicemail or tells you to email. Extremely frustrating the difficulty in getting to discuss our order with someone. Thankfully we paid by credit card but I would avoid and don’t intend to purchase anything from here again.

Great service

Great service. Within a minute I knew what was in stock and despite the disruption due to COVID I get everything delivered within 8 days. Couldn’t be more happy with the quality of equipment that arrived. I would highly recommend this company especially if your training to upgrade your gym. And with these restrictions in place might as well jump on there great offers.

Do NOT buy from this awful company

Oversold a very expensive bike leaving in the lurch. Only admitted once I queried. Took money for goods could not deliver. I am still having to chase for refund. Lockdown is no excuse for appalling customer service and dishonesty.

Poor customer experience/bait and switch practices

I ordered a Spirit Fitness exercise bike from the site, which was showing in stock, paying a deposit via credit card and signing upto a credit agreement (with required credit checks). A few later I had an email through saying the item was being processed "and will be delivered as soon as possible". Great.

Only a few days after then I received a further email stating there was no stock, the item is discontinued, and would I consider paying the difference for a higher priced model (£1200 compared to £1000, but vastly inferior in spec to my purchased item) that is in stock. I immediately emailed back, but haven't heard back in the 4 days since. The phone line only ever goes through to voice messages, and calls aren't returned.

So now with deposit paid and credit agreement signed, I'm left with no purchase, no credible alternative, and - in the time since - competitors have a fraction of the stock they had when I made the purchase a week ago.

I suspect my next step will be contacting my bank about a Section 75 refund.

Thank you for your feedback Jack. We are really sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the level of service you've received. In the current climate, stock availability is changing by the hour hence the reason your order came through even though there was no stock.

Our Sales team have received your email regarding an alternative but it can take a few days to get a response due to the overwhelming volume of emails we are receiving at the moment. I can see your last email was dated Thursday 7th January. Our office is closed at the weekend so emails will not be responded to during this time.

We have asked our accounts team to refund your deposit which has now been done.

Once again we would like to apologise. We are trying our best in the current circumstances but I understand that on this occasion, we let you down.

Not happy..

Not happy... placed an order in November. The items were out of stock and would be emailed as soon as items back in! BGE 7542. I was quite happy to accept this as was a birthday gift.
However, having still no news I have emailed 3 times for an update 26/12...29/12 and 06/01 ... no response whatsoever! I called the number on email ... it just tells you to email and response in 24 hrs!!!!!!

Hi Shirley. Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry that you are unhappy with our service. We were closed over the festive period therefore emails were not responded to during this time. Since our office re-opened last week we have received an overwhelming number of orders and subsequent emails (due to the recent lockdown), which has caused our response times to slip a little. We have since updated the phone message for complete transparency.

I can see that your order has since been refunded in full.

Thank you for your time.

Ordered equipment on 6/11...chased on…

Ordered equipment on 6/11...chased on 20/11 to be told it’s delayed because of couriers. The tracking number I have been given keeps saying “in transit” since 23/11.

It’s obvious I’m not receiving anything.

This is disappointing to read as I can see that Naomi emailed you on 26/11 advising that the goods were with the couriers. As we hadn't heard from you since then we would have assumed that delivery had taken place. Given the large volume of orders we receive I'm afraid we are unable to follow up every tracking number.

On this occasion it would seem that your parcel has been lost in transit. It is a very rare occurrence for an item to be lost, so I am sorry that it has happened to you. We will arrange for this to be refunded ASAP - you will receive an email confirmation once this has been processed.

Great products for the price

Great products for the price. There was a little delay, which is totally understandable, due to lockdown but my delivery got split. This resulted in them arriving at separate times but Lauren resolved the issue superbly. She kept me up to date and arranged new deliveries. Very happy overall. Thank you, Lauren. You are a great asset!

Fantastic business

Fantastic business. Commercial grade quality with well known brands at an affordable price. The company also have a customer service helpline to discuss your needs in terms of finding the best equipment for your individual needs.

My Mum and I bought a CU800 Spirit upright bike and it is amazing. It feels and looks like the quality machines I use at my local gym: perfect for lockdown. Despite the rise in demand during the second lockdown, my bike was delivered to me in under 1 week.

I’d like to draw attention to Lauren and Richard who assisted me on multiple occasions over the phone with my ‘novice home gym user’ questions. They were both very helpful, knowledgeable and had excellent customer service skills.

100% would recommend and will use again for future home gym purchases. It’s such a relief to find an honest, reputable and reliable gym seller on the internet.

Stay away, not recomended, read this review!!!!

I read the reviews, lot of bad reviews especialy lying about stock! It’s true!

It's true. I took the risk and order a cross trainer, I phoned, a couple of times, I spoke to customer services, I asked about stock clearly and shipping time

They said: "Yes, it is in stock, it will be delivered in 3-5 days - that was on 13th Nov - I stated clearly that I need the cross trainer until 19th Nov.

After 4 days I received a message saying that this will be delayed and it will be shipped on 18th Nov and it will take 5 to 7 days

I tried to call the customer services several times, both channels, including the sales, no asnwer! At all, I called the other day as well, no answer, at all!

It's strange becasue before I placed the order they answered the called twice imediatelly so I guess, once you place an oder your phone number is in the system and they won't take your call!!!

I cancelled and ask for a refund! I will never ever order again from this company!

NOT recommended!

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience, but we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention.

We would like to point out that our order confirmation email states that whilst most orders are delivered within 7-10 working days; on rare occasions they are taking up to 15 working days to reach customers. This is due to a number of factors, but mainly due to reduced staffing levels in order to comply with COVID regulations.

We offered to deliver your order on the fastest timescale possible, but the order was then cancelled, for which a refund was immediately issued.

Due to the overwhelming demand for fitness equipment following England's second lockdown, we took the decision to temporarily close our phone lines. This has enabled our small team to focus on processing customer's orders. The Sales phone line has since been re-opened.

Thank you for your time.

I ordered a barbell set and it was delivered within 7 days. Great equipment, well packaged and I love it! Can’t wait to do body pump at home during this second lockdown. When I contacted the website they answered immediately. Couldn’t wish for better service. Thank you ❤️
