I had a great experience buying from…

I had a great experience buying from Gym Sets LTD. I bought a set of 15kg hex dumbbells as soon as I bought them they were sent out to me and received them the next day they were marked as ‘B’ condition but when I opened the box they were shiny and brand new and they were less than half the cost of any other set I could find online anywhere. I found all their prices to be the most competitive anywhere and they had a great selection to choose from. I highly recommend this company and will certainly be buying from them again.

The product arrived faulty - company refused return

The product arrived faulty. The company refused to arrange a return. The product has been sitting in my flat for 3 months now. Very poor customer service and communication with several days delay between responses.

____________

Edit in response to Sam

Sam,

I do not accept that summary. It materially mischaracterises what has happened.

I reported that the bike arrived damaged and rejected it under my consumer rights. I asked for the damaged item to be refunded and collected.

Your team did not simply accept the item was faulty and resolve it. For several weeks, the issue was repeatedly minimised by Gymsets as “cosmetic”, “fully functional”, “safe to use” and within your quality standards/warranty terms. My rejection/refund request was not accepted properly. Instead, I was offered replacement parts and escalating partial refunds, including 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and eventually 40%, all of which I declined because I had rejected the item and did not agree to keep a damaged bike sold as new.

I also do not accept that I caused this to drag on by refusing reasonable solutions. I have repeatedly confirmed that the bike is available for collection. What I refused to do was dismantle it, send parts separately, source packaging, buy a box or wrapping materials, package it for your courier, or accept responsibility for courier refusal, missing parts, inadequate packaging or transit damage. Those are Gym Sets Ltd’s return logistics, not mine.

Your point about the damage being caused by your courier is not relevant. I bought the bike from Gym Sets Ltd. If it was damaged in transit, that is a matter between Gym Sets Ltd and its courier or supplier.

I do not recall a clear earlier offer to send a brand-new replacement bike. If you say that was offered before this reply on trustpilot, please identify the dated email where that was set out. In any event, I am not seeking a replacement now. This matter has gone on for months and the outstanding issue is removal of the rejected bike from my flat.

I even offered a practical compromise - if Gym Sets Ltd paid for and sent suitable packaging materials, I would make reasonable efforts to wrap the bike without accepting responsibility for courier acceptance, transit damage, missing parts or packaging adequacy. That was also refused by Gymsets.

Please do not frame this as me declining all solutions. The position is simple, arrange collection of the bike as it stands, send and pay for the exact packaging materials required, while accepting responsibility for the return risk.

Thanks

Hi Asadullah,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

I am really sorry to see the issues that have occurred with your order.

I can see that you have received a faulty assault bike and have very long email chains with our customer service team, who have been trying to resolve the issue for you.

They have agreed with you that the item you received is faulty, which was caused in transit by our courier, which unfortunately happens sometimes and is out of our control.

We have therefore offered you the following steps to resolve your order:

1) Send a brand new replacement assault bike.

2) To send replacement parts out to fix the issues with the assault bike you received and on top of this a 40% refund.

Both of these offers would have resolved your issue in full and would have been completed in less than 5 days, however you have denied all offers to try and resolve your order, which caused the email chain to extend over multiple months.

We still want to resolve your issues for you and we would love to send you a brand new assault bike to resolve your issue for you.

Sam

Awesome product

Awesome product, Awesome price and quick delivery. Packaging was great too. I love the plates, I would be happier if there was an option for collars rather than springs.

Just to update

Just to update - 44 emails now exchanged since purchasing faulty goods in November 2025 and still no refund.
My previous review received what was presumably an AI generated response feigning interest from the company in resolving the issue (no legitimate human effort ensued). No doubt this post will generate similar.

I have of course given up and am now pursuing the legal route.

I should also point out that the items that did screw together are of dreadful quality and are still covered in some sort of industrial chemical that has resisted five hot, soapy washes.
It will be interesting to see which kills me first- neoplasia from these compounds, blunt trauma from the collapse of the smith machine onto my throat or the maddening frustration of dealing with these filthy jackals

Hi Alistair,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

First of all i want to apologise for the issues occurring with your order.

I want to explain what went wrong with your order, why and how we can resolve this for you.

So first of all to summarise what went wrong with your order:

1) you received a damaged Semi Commercial Weight Bench.

2) You are missing a single 20kg plate and a pair of 5kg weight plates from your order.

Why these issues have occurred and what we have done to stop them happening again:

1) Damaged Bench: This bench was from an old supplier who's quality was not up to standard, we have since changed to a new supplier for this weight bench, who rigorously quality test the product before sending it to us. This now means that our bench is of much better build quality and has irradiated 99.65% of issues that occurred with the weight bench previously.

2) Missing weight plates: We dispatched all of the missing plates from our warehouse with DPD. However, DPD lost both parcels in transit. This was a common issue with DPD and hence we have now decided to move couriers to Yodel who are providing a much better quality service to us, which has reduced lost parcels to less than 0.5%.

How we can resolve your issue:

1) We can send out a new weight bench from our new supplier, which would resolve all issues with quality you encountered with your previous bench.

2) We can dispatch the missing plates with our new courier Yodel.

One of our team members will be in touch right away to action these steps for you and get your issues resolved right away.

Sam

Gymset dumbbell, barbell and weights


The package arrived in super quick time(ordered Wednesday, arrived Friday) so a great start, I was a bit busy and didn't open them until Sunday morning, well packaged and straight away I thought they looked great, once together they were great, I like the choice of weights and the different ways to adapt them, the locking system is easy to use and secure and they feel good in the hands.
Overall I'd say (in my opinion) that your product is great as was the service, keep up the good work and best of luck in the future.

Highly Recommend GYMSETS

I had a fantastic experience with GymSets from start to finish.

The website was clear and easy to navigate making it nice and simple to find exactly what I was looking for. My order arrived much quicker than I expected, and the quality of the item is excellent!

What stood out most for me though was the customer service. The founder personally got in touch after my order had arrived to check that everything had come safely and to make sure I was happy with my purchase. It’s rare to see that level of care these days, and it made a great experience even better.

Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GymSets to anyone looking for quality equipment backed by excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again!!

Thank you Sam and everyone from GymSets
