40kg adjustable dumbbells

I bought a couple of 40kg adjustable dumbbells. Dispatch was same day and the order arrived in two deliveries a couple of days later.
I've waited 3 months to review to make sure they perform and can safely say they are a great quality product at a really good price.
I haven't needed to contact them for anything but they did reach out to thank me for my purchase and offer support.

Fake 5 star reviews… Stay away from them

Fake 5 star reviews…

If you read this before the next bunch of fake five star reviews comes in - Do not buy anything from this company.

I’m in the process of reporting them to both trust pilot and trading standards as they ran a scam which they thought nobody would notice.

Gymsets are aware that I know what they are doing to the public as I have been back and forth with them behind the scenes.

I am writing this to inform any unsuspecting member of the public to stay away.

Save yourself the headache and go buy whatever you after elsewhere.

I will be detailing everything to trust pilot and wherever else necessary because this is a dangerous company operating an insidious scam in plain sight.

Avoid at all costs.

Hi there Zuva,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am very sorry to hear of any issues you have encountered with your order.

First of all i want to clear up that it is not possible to fake 5 star reviews on trust pilot.

I can see that you ordered 2x 8kg Neoprene Kettlebells which was on pre order at the time for the end of July, which you acknowledged was the case.

You then requested a refund as you "did not realise it was on pre order" however on the website instead of an "add to cart" button there is a "pre order" button which displays the date the pre order is for.

We responded to this refund request asking why you had the change of heart and whether you would accept 1x 6kg neoprene kettlebell and 1x 12kg neoprene kettlebell instead.

This offer amounted to a higher value than the original order you placed and was out of good will as we understand you may not have noticed it was a pre order.

You denied this (which is fair enough as you may not have needed these sizes)

At this point (which was less than a week after the order was placed) we had stock arrive to us and therefore we sent out the item you ordered out to you.

The order you placed was delivered to you just over a week after you ordered, even though you actually pre ordered the item for over a month later.

You then emailed saying you no longer wanted the items and that you wanted them collected and the items refunded. Which we agreed to even though this is incorrect to do against our website T&C's.

So in the end, we delivered the item you ordered over 4 weeks earlier than when you ordered it for (which was clearly displayed to you at checkout). You then requested a refund and collection of the item as you no longer wanted it, which we agreed to and honoured in full.

Better of buying a lottery ticket!!!!

GymSets doesn’t sell gym equipment; it sells a lottery ticket.

If your order arrives correctly, congratulations.

If it doesn’t, prepare yourself for an endless cycle of investigations, contradictory emails, broken promises and a battle simply to obtain the goods you paid for.

I wish I’d read the one-star reviews before ordering. I certainly wouldn’t have trusted this company with my money. If you believe the "genuine" five star reviews, more fool you.

I have already submitted 1 star reviews which somehow disappear!!!!! So I shall post daily.....

Everything that follows is supported by emails, delivery records, photographs and GymSets’ own written admissions.

I ordered a complete Olympic weight package, including a 7ft Commercial Cheshire Olympic Barbell (Black).

The order arrived incomplete.

The most important item—the Olympic barbell—never arrived, leaving hundreds of kilograms of Olympic plates completely unusable.

I was then subjected to weeks of excuses whilst GymSets blamed the courier, carried out endless “investigations” and repeatedly assured me they were looking into it.

Eventually they accepted that the original barbell had been lost and agreed to send a replacement.

The replacement arrived.

It wasn’t the product I’d ordered.

It wasn’t even close.

Instead of a 7ft Olympic barbell, they sent a 165cm one-inch adjustable barbell—a cheap standard bar completely incompatible with the Olympic weight set I had purchased.

I sent photographs.

I sent measurements.

I sent CCTV video of the delivery!!!

Only then did GymSets finally admit, in writing, that they had supplied the wrong product.

By this stage, almost a month had passed.

Rather than immediately refunding me, they attempted to send yet another replacement and even offered store credit.

No.

After almost a month of mistakes, delays and broken promises, I had completely lost confidence in GymSets’ ability to fulfil a simple order and had already purchased the correct barbell elsewhere.

The irony is that the only thing GymSets managed to deliver consistently throughout this entire experience was disappointment.

The chronology speaks for itself:

• Incomplete order.

• Lost shipment.

• Weeks of delays.

• Endless investigations.

• Contradictory emails.

• Wrong replacement product.

• Written admission that the replacement was incorrect.

• Continued refusal to issue an immediate refund.

At every stage I gave GymSets the opportunity to put matters right.

At every stage they failed.

Customer service appears to operate on the basis of keeping customers waiting rather than solving problems.

Mistakes happen in every business.

What defines a company is how it responds when those mistakes occur.

GymSets failed that test spectacularly.

As I write this review, I have formally rejected the goods, commenced a chargeback through my card issuer and am pursuing recovery of the money I have paid.

If everything goes perfectly, you may never experience what I have.

If anything goes wrong, however, based on my experience you should be prepared for weeks of frustration before receiving a resolution—if you receive one at all.

Save yourself the stress.

Buy from a retailer that understands one simple principle:

When you make a mistake, you fix it. Immediately.

GymSets never did, never do, never interested!

- Since posting my review they tried to shut it down within hours! Thanks for effectively re-affirming the review! Shame they dont pay the same attention to missing items, refunds and customer service!

Deeply disappointed with this company

Deeply disappointed with this company. Made an order for items more expensive than I wanted as they showed stock and was told afterwards they were not in stock, alongside items being broken in transit. Multiple ignored emails and vague replies. I offered to except alternatives also showing in stock to then be delayed and told were now not in stock. My order was for setting up a gym for a client which now cannot be completed on time costing me money and reputation. At after all this they have offered me used weights replacement and an offensive 5% refund. Absolute jokers with no customer service and reliability. I would avoid at all costs. There’s a reason why the are cheaper and those listed above are it. Unless your looking to delayed, lied to and offended when you complain best stick to other suppliers.

UPDATE:

I spoke with your team and your customer service department and was offered nothing, but returned stock and a 5% refund. Neither acceptable for what has occurred. I am looking forward to a respectful solution.

UPDATE 2:

Things have gone from worse to worse with these guys. They told me a replacement was in quality control and that was delay. ONLY, to be told now that they do not have stock of the item. So, clearly a lie. They also tried to offer me an alternative. Which they said was more expensive. Was actually much cheaper and not the same as the item I ordered. Having raised all these issues I have subsequently been ignored and no explanation. Meanwhile, still no rack that I ordered weeks and weeks ago. It is a joke and has only compounded my advice to avoid these people at all costs.

Great company, excellent value for money, and great quality

Second purchase in a month, great equipment. And really fast shipping, I ordered at 09.30 and got it at midday the next day.
Really good value for money and brilliant sale on right now. For a small company they really are in line if not better than some leading companies, it won't be long before they are competing

Great quality kettle bells!

Ordered the neoprene kettle bells in 6 and 8kg, the 8 being on pre-order for the end of March. But nope, they both turned up yesterday so that was a nice surprise! Only took a couple of days to arrive and they’re great kettle bells as I really wanted a couple with a smaller base than the ones I currently have. Much easier to swing and do halos with!

Good service

The weights were cheaper than on similar sites and were delivered quickly, in perfect condition. Good communication throughout.

This company is the biggest scam

This company is the biggest scam. I replaced an order that was in stock at the time according to their website. After two weeks of waiting, I had to email the customer to find out why I hadn’t received my item, and that was when I was told that the item was out of stock. I have been requesting a refund for almost a month now, and they keep avoiding it by offering me a 10% refund or 15% store credit while I wait for an item that customer service representative Mary said she doesn’t know when it will be back in stock. I have rejected all the offers and insisted on a full refund, but they have neither refunded me nor responded to my email.

No issues, great prices.

My second order having ordered a bench last year I ordered their adjustable dumbbells on a pre-order, ended up arriving way before the pre-order date. Great item, great price, no issues once again. Strange to see so many negative reviews when I've never experienced a problem myself, although there does seem to be more positive reviews coming in now than a few months back.
