There's a lot of misconceptions about equipment being sold online and one of the largest of these, truly misleading deceptions is that free shipping can be free. FREE SHIPPING IS A LIE! Don't fall prey to the myth that fitness companies can offer something that costs an an ever-increasingly, often astronomical amount without sneaking in a higher sales price or lowering the average quality of what they offer, and sometimes both.

I've been selling fitness equipment - at least in some capacity - for 25 years and I've seen it time and time again as more companies go exclusively or primarily online selling 95-99% of their equipment shipped and then do the "free" shipping - but with base prices increasing by 20 to 50%.

There are countless examples; here's just one. Take one of our closest regional competitors that has recently started a free shipping campaign. The day before the change over to their so called free shipping you could get a 10-50lb dumbbell set for $650 plus tax plus $200 +/- shipped for total of $850-900ish. At $795 we offer an arguably better quality 10-50lb dumbbell set for less out of pocket because we don't have to pass the cost of freight onto you, but I digress...

Did they really just remove the cost of shipping to make it free shipping or is there more to it? The reality is that instead of having a $650 base price now they charge $999 base price, plus tax for the same set which obviously isn't a better deal because the shipping is included, in reality it is a higher overall out of pocket cost to you.

No matter how competitors try to spin it, most often free either has no value or has hidden surprise costs and/or sacrifices you won't get with our straight forward approach.

If you are local in Utah or find that it's worth the drive we have the best pricing on the planet. We don't sacrifice quality to get you a superior price, we buy direct from our exclusive manufactures and offer among if not the best deals out there. Our lower prices are easy to recognize and if you look at our product quality you'll also notice that we are on par with anywhere out there and often backup our products with superior warranties nobody else does - for example some of our dumbbells have limited LIFETIME warranties against breakage, some of our bumper plate warranty's at FIVE years beat anyone.
