We have decided to offer the Ironmaster Super Bench with the Megatec Half Rack and Megatec Smith Machine packages because it delivers you the best bang for buck. The price we sell these benches for easily makes them the best value gym bench in Australia. We can do this because we buy in massive quantities. The […]

The Megatec Multiplex Gym has been a massive hit, especially in Sydney. People come into the shop and see that it is actually better than it looks. But the only drawback with this gym is that it comes in a crate, so for people that require delivery to a residential address, there is either a tailgate […]

The Powertec Power Rack does not currently have a spotter bar option like the Barbarian Power Cage Spotter Bars. We have had many Powertec customers inquire about such a solution and after some playing around, we came up with an alternative. We have managed to fit the Ironmaster IM2000 Spotter Arms to the Powertec cage. They […]

Our gym equipment warehouse and showroom is located in Banksmeadow, Sydney (10 mins from the airport at Mascot). Understandably we get a lot of inquiries from interstate customers wanting to check out our gym equipment before they purchase. I would love to have a showroom in more capital cities. I have looked into it and […]

Premium bumper plates are a dime a dozen these days. There are some fitness equipment retailers that sell some pretty crappy gym equipment who offer “premium” or “elite” bumper plates. They often have flash brand names printed all over them, backed up with some pretty wild claims. But how do you know if they really […]

Powertec or Megatec – which way should you go? What is better Megatec or Powertec? This is the question on everyone’s lips! Now let me give you a bit of background on why we have these two very similar lines of gym equipment on our website. Megatec is the result of a falling out between Powertec […]

We often get asked why our Bumper Weight Plates are more expensive than similar-looking bumpers that our competitors sell. Just like all the other gym equipment we sell, we always opt for the better quality version when we have a choice. For starters, there are plenty of factories we could use in China, but a […]

Over the years I have read several times on forums about the wobble associated with the Powertec benches. We even started to get customers coming and raising the issue when checking the bench out. So I have decided to do a video that addresses the issue and shows you how to “tune” your Powertec gym […]

The new Powertec Lat Machine P-LM13 is back in the Powertec line up after a short hiatus. The previous P-LM and P-LM10 were both solid pieces of gym equipment – they could handle well over 130+ kilos and still run super smooth. However the main criticism with the machine was that the range of motion […]

We have finally got our hands on a heap of jet-black Powertec Power Racks. Powertec has been selling these as fast as they can make them. They are back-ordered in the US but Sam’s Fitness is loaded! It has taken a while but we finally have the new jet black Power Rack in stock. Everytime […]

All the Olympic Barbells, Weight Plates, Cable Attachments, Dumbbells we import come in Timber or Particle Board Packing Crates. We have a few regulars who come and pick some up but we have plenty spare that end up going in the bin when we run out of room in the warehouse. I have attached some […]

We have just got a container load of the Power Maxx Dumbbell Sets. Like all the gym equipment we sell, these dumbbells are top quality and priced affordably. If you are setting up a commercial gym or personal training studio, the Power Maxx Dumbbell Sets will give your gym a great look. The dumbbells are […]
