Thread: Exercise Equipment

I am trying to avoid making my suitcase heavier than it needs to be. Can any one who has been on the island tell me if there are any stores that sell weights/ dumbells? Can you also tell me how much they cost? I am really trying to avoid bringing mine with me.

weights are pretty expensive down here. One of my friends bought a single 25 lb dumbbell for 140 EC's, which is about 50 US. the cheapest way is to get a gym membership which runs around 45-50 US a month depending on how many ppl u can get to sign up with you and its a 6month contract.

If you really want ur own weights, someone did bring the sportsblock ultra. its adjustable weights that go up to 45 lbs or u can get the set that goes up to 90 lbs. these usually run around 300-400 US tho, but its basically all you need. My friend just put it in his carry on because there is no weight restriction on the carry on.

Thanks for the advice, my weights are 20 lbs. I think I'll pack mine on my carry-on.

another idea is aqua bells. they are called "travel weights". you fill up the weight with water and then put it on the dumbell. They are always in the skymall magazines. you can buy direct at www.aquabells.com Only goes up to 16 lbs each though

i bought those stupid aquabells and they punctured and i got 2 gallons of water all over my stupid floor
