Fast delivery and perfect condition plates

I ordered some weight plates and they were dispatched and delivered within 2 days. Very happy with them and was the best deal in sale out of everywhere I looked. I would buy again for sure

Thanks for sharing us Sarah! Really helps as a small business!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Initial problems, but good quality gear.

UPDATE 17/7

The unit being completed has revealed it's excellent quality, at least early on.

I stand by my earlier frustration, but there has been a lot of follow-up to put things right, hence this revision.

----

S13 smith machine arrived with a damaged upright - took two weeks to replace.

I believe the support team are a "for hire" group that service multiple businesses, and so aren't really working "for" Gym Sets, more "on behalf of".

Further multiple missing parts (which I'm still waiting for), and a an instruction manual that doesn't match the product, means that - five weeks on - the unit is still unfinished.

Hi David,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I can only apologise for the issues you have had with both your products and our support team.

I am not going to make any excuses as to why this has happened. I just want to provide a reasonable solution for you. What i propose is that we send a brand new S13 smith machine out to you to be delivered at the beginning of next week.

The team will check it pre dispatch and ensure all parts are inside the box and in perfect condition.

A member of our team will be in contact to arrange this and this will resolve your issue in full.

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. My order was due on 25 June, but I only received one parcel. The remaining items are still undelivered despite contacting customer service several times. Instead of resolving the issue, the company is trying to charge a cancellation fee, even though their own website states that the fee is waived if an order is delayed by more than two weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

Hi Marzena,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues encountered with your order.

I want to explain what has happened and how we can resolve this for you. You ordered a set of 4x dumbbells from 2.5kg - 10kg and a grey yoga mat.

The grey yoga mat was a pre order for the 22nd July. This item has actually arrived early to us and will be dispatch to you today, for delivery at the beginning of next week.

The 2x hex dumbbells that you are missing unfortunately went missing in transit with DPD, which i deeply apologise about. On top of this we then ran out of stock of the 10kg hex dumbbell that went missing, which meant until today we had no further stock to fulfil your replacement.

All stock for all of your missing items has now arrived to us, and if you would give us the chance we would love to get them dispatched to you today, again for delivery at the beginning of next week.

A member of our team will be in contact about arranging this.

Once again i am really sorry for the issues you encountered and we will get this resolved for you.

Great Company

I couldn’t be happier with my experience buying from this company. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The website was easy to navigate and shipping was incredibly fast, I was surprised when I got a knock on the door at they were here!

It is rare to find a business that genuinely cares about its customers and delivers exactly what is promised without any hassle. If you are looking to build a home gym, this is a highly professional, reliable company you can trust. I will absolutely be ordering from them again!

Matter now resolved. I have had a call from a manager and I have been given the items I received as a good will gesture and received a good proportion of my money refunded, so I am satisfied with the.

*DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY WITH A BARGE POLE* I ordered a set of 3 dumbbells and 3 kettlebells at the the beginning of June. Todate I have received one of each set. I have had to jump through hoops to finally be told I can send back the two sets I have received but will have to pay postage!!!! I will then receive a refund for the items I haven't received WITHOUT postage. WTF!!!!!

If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, I would.

This has been, without question, the worst online buying experience I’ve ever had.

Almost immediately after placing my order, I requested a cancellation and refund after discovering the overwhelming number of negative reviews about this company. Instead of simply cancelling the order, I was told it was “too late” and that I would need to refuse delivery at my doorstep to trigger a refund. I followed their instructions exactly.

What followed was weeks of endless emails, excuses, and being given the runaround. Despite doing everything they asked, no refund ever arrived. In the end, I had no choice but to raise a chargeback through my bank. Thankfully, the bank recovered my money just over a month after I placed the order. Had I relied on GymSets to honour their own refund process, I have no doubt I’d still be waiting.

The complete lack of customer service, accountability, and honesty is appalling. A business shouldn’t make customers fight to get their own money back after following its own instructions.

Avoid this company at all costs. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend buying anything from GymSets. Save yourself the stress and shop elsewhere.

Hi there Aaron,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues that have occurred with your order.

I can see you placed an order for 40kg adjustable dumbbells with a rack and a bench.

The reason the team could not cancel your order before it was dispatched is because by the time you had emailed. The item was already packed and ready to go out on a pallet in our warehouse. Therefore, it would have been impossible to find your order and stop it from going out within the other thousand parcels that were ready to be collected by our couriers.

I agree, the process of completing the refund could have been more efficient on our side. And we have since created a new refund request system for customer service agents which has significantly reduced the amount of time it takes for refunds to be processed.

I am sorry that the lack of system within our business effected your experience with our company and hopefully if you give us the chance in the future we can show how much we have improved.

Selling returned units as new & Fake reviews

Complete scam artists. They are selling wearhouse returned units that are damaged and not declaring it on the product page. They use dynamic pricing so if the deal seems too good to be true, it is. After I brought the leg extension machine for £190 it jumped to £230 for the next unit, as the other units must of been better condition. Mine turned up with missing instructions, missing pin to keep the seat locked and huge amounts of damage all of over the unit, it had clearly been shipped out before, mis handled by the customer and sent back. Shamefull from GymSets. Support is awful, they sent a pin out and offered 10% off my next order, you can get 10% codes from anywhere so that’s just an insult. I’ve already contacted trading standards so hopefully they will fix this company up. I would personally pay extra with brands like Mirafit who I’ve never had an issue with. They are also doing daily fake reviews, loads of profiles with only 1 or 2 reviews is obvious.

Hi there,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues encountered with your order, this is not okay.

I cannot speak about order specifics as i cannot see your order number. If you could please provide a response to our information request for your order number i can then provide a better resolution for you,

However, based on the information you have provided, first of all i want to make clear we do not send out returned stock for any orders placed for new stock. We do sell some "Graded Return" items at a lower cost on our website however this is made clear on the product page and at checkout.

I am not going to make any excuses for what has happened with your order. However, i can suggest what we can do to resolve this issue and what our team will have been offering you as they are all trained to do.

We can send a brand new replacement leg extension out right away free of charge and this will be delivered to you in 48-72 hours.

Once you have provided information into your order number i will be making sure our team have offered this and can provide a better resolution as to what we can do for you.

I look forward to resolving the issue with your order for you and once again want to apologise for the issues you have encountered.

Sam

I was pleased to find a company that sold single weight plates rather than having to buy a set. Good price, well packaged and postage to Northern Ireland reasonably priced. Very happy with my purchase.

I have used this company twice now, i was impressed at receiving a email after my first order asking if everything was ok with my order.
second time using them i made a mistake on my order and when i contacted customer services to see if anything could be done, it was sorted straight away, customer service couldn’t have been better even answering my emails even after hours, i was given a refund (credit) to reorder that i was told would take upto 48 hours, this actually came through in 15 minutes, quality is excellent and i would deffinately reccomend and use in the future
