40 KG adjustable dumbbells

Amazing adjustable dumbbells! They arrived on time, were easy to assemble, and the weight-changing mechanism is quick and simple to use. The build quality feels solid and durable, making them perfect for home workouts. Great value for money—I would definitely recommend them.

Tree, Hex dumbbells set

Ordered a tree with Hex dumbbells and a workout bench. Fantastic value but no scrimping on quality. The tree base was faulty, but first class communication and a prompt replacement soon put it right. Would highly recommend buying from Gym Sets, you won’t be disappointed

I ordered a set of 40kg adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench. The product came very quickly, within 3 days and it was packaged beautifully and it took 5 minutes to assemble and so far it has been exactly what I was looking for!

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SERVICE

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SERVICE
Appalling! Wrong items sent. Never received some items and had to contact PayPal to resolve as after 2 months of them not responding or sorting the issue they admit, I had to go to PayPal for a partial refund.

Borderline scam.

DO NOT ORDER FROM GYMSETS.

Response says there was an information request with the review but I have nothing or any ability to respond. My order number is 99482 and I have lots of emails sent.

Hi there Nicholas,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

First of all i want to apologise for the issues encountered with your order.

I cannot see the specifics as to what items you have not received or received incorrectly and why this has occurred.

However, i want to give a reason as to why this would has occurred with your order, based on our internal statistics for issues like this.

So, DPD the previous courier we used to ship 95% of our orders placed, have 3 very concerning metrics related to their service with us.

1) Lost in Transit Rate = 7.65%
2) Damaged in Transit Rate = 9.87%
3) Parcel Mismatch Rate = 4.39%

These 3 metrics above, are DPD's statistics of parcels we shipped with them for:
1) % of items sent with them which they lost and we never got back
2) % of parcel sent with them that were damaged upon delivery or returned to sender due to damage.
3) % of parcels which they mixed up and delivered differently to who we intended to send the item to (due to relabelling and routing through the hub incorrectly)

This means that a total of 21.91% of the parcels we sent with them caused delivery issues for our valued customers.

This has resulted in us changing couriers to Yodel which has seen these numbers drop to very healthy %'s compared to industry standards and means issues like what happened to you no longer occur.

Now obviously this does not resolve your issue in anyway shape or form. And therefore if you could please respond to the information request we sent through to this review for your order number. I can then personally look at resolving your issue and can guarantee that it will be fully resolved by the end of the week.

Once again i am sorry for the issues you have encountered and i want to do everything in my power to resolve it for you.

I’ve shopped with this business three times and each experience has been positive. The items are good quality and the prices are very reasonable. The prompt delivery via DPD is great but for the postage price it’s what I’d expect.

Great all round experience

Product arrived in really good time. My partner and I really liked that they came with a kg-lb conversion chart.

They arrived a few days ago and I've used them a couple of times - so far, so good!

Would happily recommend these to friends or family.

Hi there Phillip,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am sorry to hear of the issues which have occurred with your order, it is not okay and we will get it fully resolved for you right away.

I want to explain:
1) What caused the issue
2) What we have done to stop the issue occurring again
3) How we have resolved the issue with your order

So, your Tri Leg Bench arrived to you with scratches in multiple areas of the frame. The reason this occurred is due to our previous couriers DPD, damaging the parcel significantly during transit. This has become a recurring issue for us and due to this we have stopped using DPD as a courier.

Since seizing to use DPD, we have now moved to Yodel, who upon research we thought would provide a much better quality service. And we can confirm that throughout our first few weeks using Yodel, the number of damages we have seen in transit has dropped to close to 0. Which is very healthy due to the fact we send thousands of parcels a day out.

Now to resolve your issue, we have sent a brand new replacement Tri Leg Bench out with our new courier Yodel. This will be delivered to you in 48 hours. We have updated you with tracking numbers via email and i have given you access to my personal inbox and any further questions you have, i will personally get back to you and resolve right away.

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!
