Great Home Gym!

Bought $5k worth of gear for a full set up home gym! Did postage take a little longer than expected? Yes! Are we living through a Pandemic? Yes! Will I order from Gym Direct again? Yes!! Chris was always very responsive, helpful and ensured everything went as smoothly as possible. The equipment is all to a high quality! Thanks we will be making another order soon!

Value for money

Bought the pump 20kg barbell set and subsequently extra weights. Good value for money, decent shipping rates and fast delivery.

Not Impressed

My experience with this Company has been far from acceptable. From the time I placed my first order, communication has been horrendous to say the least. I received little communication at best regarding back orders and most orders placed I would find myself waiting for two months average. The equipment that arrived was either broken, damaged or faulty. I found that I was regularly seeking updates on orders placed, replacement parts, only to be met with silence. Each time I attempted to call them, I was met with an automated message stating the were only answering email enquiries. Extremely poor business practices! They even refunded an order when I made an enquiry regarding the status of a product I ordered that was supposedly 'In Stock' without asking if I wanted to wait. The communication I did receive what short and abrupt, not what I would expect from a Company I've spent thousands of dollars with. If I knew back then when I was placing my first order the experience I was going to have, I definitely would not have ordered from this Company.

It was hard work all the way

It was hard work all the way.
I had to chase my order. I had to chase information and all the time I was disappointed.
My order took a total of 6mths to get finalized. I didn’t get what I originally ordered. It was swapped for something that wasn’t sold already. That too was delayed and then turned up only half the order. I had to again chase info and ensure I got what I had paid for.
In the current climate I understand there are delays but the service and communication was slim to none.
Would not recommend or use this business again. Terrible experience.

Awesome gear for an awesome price.

I’ve made multiple purchases from Gym Direct over the last year and they’ve always been great. Awesome gear at prices that are better than anywhere else, great shipping prices and easy pick up from the warehouse if needed (pick up times booked in advance).

My only gripe with Gym Direct is whenever calling for anything I’m greeted with incredibly blunt service over the phone. Borderline rude in how sharp and short they can be and not too informative. It always seems like it’s a hassle for them to serve someone over the phone.

UNHAPPY

Unresponsive customer service, constant further delays on my order (arrived 3 months later than expected date) and they did not acknowledge these further delays - I followed up 5 times only to receive a generic response that my order would arrive within the next week which was untrue every time

The gym equipment they supply is…

The gym equipment they supply is excellent value for money and of very good quality. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because of the long delay in delivery. However, it was worth the wait.

Hi Matthew,

Please rest assured we are back on top of our orders and bringing the same amazing service we have brought for 15+ years, we had challenges during the past year with a huge increase in orders, we went from 50 orders to 500+ orders overnight in the beginning and we have pushed through and faced this challenge but we are working with our customers to bring them some great products, we hope to see you around in the future for more great prices and an even better experience.

Have a great day and please take care.
