    Bad Bag - Where to get one in Melbourne?

    Well Mike, I've had the bowflex dumbells for 2 years now so they have 'paid for themselves' by now I'm sure. And they are MUCH FASTER for transitioning between exercises and clients, not to mention they add a professional look. It's not so much about money being tight, it's about getting the...

    Bad Bag - Where to get one in Melbourne?

    I'm a personal trainer, and many of my clients I train in their homes or in nearby locations. I would use it as a light weight 'bench' for weights, and for all the general exercises you can adapt a bench for like jumping exercises, step ups, etc. Multitude of uses.

    I will get to PTC eventually. I just got lucky and the new gym I started going to has a trainer there who used to compete in Olympic lifting and trains with guys who compete internationally so he seems to know his stuff. Sometimes you just get lucky.

    Bad Bag - Where to get one in Melbourne?

    Well, went to Clark Rubber and checked out the price of comparable foam if I had it cut to size for what I'm after. It's actually more expensive, just to buy the foam, worked out at about 230$ just for the foam. Foam went and got expensive. Still looking for a Melbourne supplier for a week...

    Bad Bag - Where to get one in Melbourne?

    Just gave them a call. They don't deal in any memory foams, only a low and high density of polystyrene which if I had one cut to the same dimensions as the bad bag, would cost me between 90$ (low density, weight 6kg) to 170$ (high density 15kg). This is before gst, and without considering...

    Bad Bag - Where to get one in Melbourne?

    Aye the bag itself on that site is 150$ then 50$ shipping on top of that. So I'm either looking for a Melbourne supplier, or an alternative. The lightness of it is why I want it. My business is mainly mobile, in any equipment I purchase for use with clients I need to take it's portability...

    Thanks for the replies guys! I'll be sure to check out Frankston, but it is too far to go on a regular basis I think, although the tollway does make it quicker. Doncaster is a possibility as I'm out that way with clients at times. Croydon would be perfect as thats where I do most of my...
