Trying to find a sumo rack somewhere in Toronto for less than $300

Robination · 11-07-2009, 08:53 PM

I really can't find any at all

I tried amazon - but the ones they do ship to Canada, shipping is like $160, which is way too much.

I only have $250, and so I'm hoping I can borrow $50 from my parents at the most, but the problem is I can't even find a sumo rack at all!

Can anyone help me find one?

Thanks a bunch

Have you been to Treadmill Factory? They have like 3 stores in the GT area.

There are also other fitness stores in Toronto, but I can't remember the names right now.

EDIT: Fitness Source also has many stores in the GT area. There's also Foremost Fitness, but from what I remember, their equipment is all pretty high quality and expensive.

I have, but I couldn't find a sumo rack there.

Thanks for reply, tell me if you remember any other fitness stores

Edit - Fitness Source didn't have a full list of what they sold, so I'll give them a call. I couldn't find a sumo rack at foremost fitness.

Exercise Direct - their store is in Winnipeg, but they do ship. They have a catalog on their website, but those have been around for a long time now, so you should probably call them.

Primal Athletes - I've never been to their store, but was about to order an Olympic weight set from them to ship to Ottawa when I suddenly found plates used locally. Seems like they also have a store in Toronto.

I can't fit a full rack in my basement (too high), and newyorkbarbell apparently after shipping costs totals in the $500s

How high (or how low

) is your basement ceiling?

Haha, I believe it's about 205cm (give or take a cm or two).

205cm is just less than 81" and a lot of racks seem to be about 82". Have you checked out a lot of power racks? I'm not sure if there are, but I would think they would be some that are less than 80". Maybe someone else know of one.

Oh I'll definitely look into that then, thanks!
