From a glass/mirror shop. They usually carry large plate glass and mirrors. They can install them for you as well.

New guy here.
What's the purpose of all the mirrors? Izzit to admire yourself, or check for correct form or what?
If it's just for form and you can put up with some distortion, what about putting up reflective mylar instead of real mirrors?

Glassless Mirrors
The new glassless mirrors have better reflective quality than household mirrors. G2 Fitness Products has a wide selection and pricing includes shipping. Check these out: http://www.g2fitnessproducts.com/ind...S&Category=736
Plus, they are easy to install...just like hanging a picture.

Who the hell would spend thousands on a "glassless mirror" just for better reflective purposes?
And this thread is almost 2 years old.

LOL, most of us haven't even spent that much on our complete home gyms. You need to target commercial gyms with those prices. IMO, the most economical way to do this is buying used mirrored sliding closet doors. A few weeks back I found 3 on Craigs List that measured 37" x 72" and set in nice black frames. Got them for $40.00. Just removed the rollers and hung them up.Originally Posted by sgfit
But good luck with your sales

CL was a winner for me for free mirrors. I was given 4 free mirrors: 2 4x6' and 2 6x8'. Couldn't transport the 6x8', so just took the smaller ones. They are by no means small. They're freaking HUGE. 2 other mirrors measuring 3x8 and 3x6 I found them in an alley as I was driving by.

Has anyone been to Home Depot lately to see if they still carry mirrors like the thread implies? Last time I was there they didn't have anything that size.

Jut went to a different Home Depot and they had a ton of sizes. 36x48 ran about $35 I think. Not bad at all, I may pick two up.

Every mirror in my gym was free from CL. They were all vanity mirrors. The largest is 63x42. You gotta be quick, these are usually gone in a few hours. I coulda had a 93x48 mirror last week, but it was too big to fit in my truck bed(toyota) and I was afraid it would get broken.Originally Posted by HardKore79

Clearly we're all losers for not going glassless and emptying out our kid's college funds. I don't even have kids, but he's still getting negged.

I bought about 6 of the walmart ones. They are about 4 feet long and 1 1/5 feet wide.
They cost less then $10 each. I just nailed them up next to each other. Works fine for my purposes."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

I know www.glasslessmirror.com sells glassless shatterproof lightweight mirrors that have been used in gyms. Here is a image of them being used directly behind Olympic lifting platforms!

You can also buy mirror tiles, which might be a bit cheaper, if you don't mind not having one large seamless mirror.

Glassless Mirrors
The glassless mirrors are for safety purposes and liability reasons for commercial settings. They definitely aren't for the cheap at heart, but that's no reason to hate on 'em. If they didn't sell like hot cakes, they wouldn't be produced.
