BodySolid Pricing for GPR378 cage and GLA378 lat attachment

[furtzmann]

After spending some time on BB.com I came to the conclusion the body solid GPR 378 cage and GLA 378 would be a good upgrade for me.

Unfortunately, I am living in Canada where prices seem to be frozen high for just about everything, especially in Alberta where I'm stuck.

A reasonably low price is found at the treadmill factory at $569 (GPR378) and $349 (GLA379). I was wondering what a reasonable price would be to offer a dealer for a new version of both these items.

I would assume new pricing in the US is still somewhat useful to know.

Thanks. I guess Fitness Factory listed prices are not the actual selling ones. As far as I can tell from their web site, FF is $595 and $370 which totals to $965!. Do you have to haggle with them on the phone or something? Or perhaps a package deal.

Hey OP, if you are close at all to the border order that stuff from the US to a shipping depot, drive down and pick it up.

or keep an eye on kijiji I have seenn some racks and benches come up for really good deals in AB, however you have to be fast.

yeah. Kijiji is a good option, as you say, you have to be motivated to move on it.

Unfortunately, my ass is being frozen in northern AB, so x-border shopping you guys enjoy in civilization isnt a cost-effective option. Im curious to know of any specific "shipping depot" you might recommend that might be useful for bigger US purchases in the future.

thanks for the specific price info. No idea how they can publish a $595 price on their website and sell for $499. I spose US pricing might be just a dream here, I'll just go back to my banjo duel now.

Actual cost price is probably only around $99, so they can appear to discount it whilst still turning an acceptable profit.

I've used the UPS store and Montana Shipping outlet in Eureka, UPS store is open all weekends, and is cheaper than MSO.

What I did was we go camping on the lake down there so the plan was to order a rack and ghd and grab it while down there camping unfortunately the rack took longer than expected to arrive so I went for a day trip to grab everything all at once.

fitness factory is actually the manufacturer of body solid products, therefore if you call them, they can give you close to invoice prices. That is how they can really discount the prices compared to the "listed" price. you should call them and see what type of deal they can do. I had good success with them. The rep that helped me was mike Christopher. if they can lower the price on the equipment enough and can ship to Canada, the higher shipping costs may be more accommodating for you. Sorry, but I am not sure if they can ship to Canada. you would have to ask.

I have no regents buying my new gpr378 for $399 shipped last year, but if I had the lat pull down bolted to the back my thoughts wouldn't be so positive. There are times when the bench needs to straddle the rear cross member for proper positioning. When that space is filled up with a pull down that's no good.
