Customer photo review of 25lb Steel Club - single
Vladislav G.
Just a beautiful product ! It's slick and elegant but also wakes up something primal in me when I pick it up, makes me want to connect to the beast inside 🔥 only thing is considering I have an elbow injury I should've gotten a lighter one to start, 25 lbs ain't as light as it sounds 😅

Ordered this beauty of a beast right before Xmas and came before the new year. Unexpected considering how the pandemic slowed down alot of deliveries. Love how it's built and just how easy it is to grip during my workouts. So far so good and I'm definitely thinking of stepping up my game with something heavier for my next kettlebell. 👍 Job Great Lakes!

Customer photo review of Reinforced Wall Ball
Dino C.
Medicine ball is fantastic. Very well made and likely to last for a long time. Parallette bars are solid and high quality. And very very challenging to say the least. Glad to have discovered GreatLakes Girya as a great local supplier of strength training equipment. Look forward to making more purchases in the future.

Perfect plates! Amazing satisfying sound when lifting! Would highly recommend for any home gym. The bang for the buck is phenomenal. Amazing service from the GLG team to make sure I was satisfied with my order. Would buy again, along with staying with GLG for all my equipment.

I strayed from my usual brand on these and I was blown away when I opened the boxes - so glad I finally pulled the trigger on these, the sale price made it too good to pass up! I was nervous some reviews claimed the PU bumpers to be really slippery, but they are slightly textured and actually easy to handle - bit of a pain to pick up flat off the floor, but most plates are.

John M.
Picked up a new 16KG bell to do some double-bell work. Updated design from the previous one I purchased featured some nice changes. The handle on this new bell is thicker and the flat section on the side is smaller and the edge is more rounded, which is nicer on your forearm. Love these things!

James C.
Great to have something heavy to lift at home. This set is heavy enough to do some light deadlifts, squats, lunges, shrugs, Romanians, etc. Awesome addition to the home gym. Great quality and finish on these as well.

Customer photo review of Great Lakes Girya Poly Urethane Bumper Plates (PAIRS)
Etienne M.
These Urethane bumpers are excellent. Other than the writing, and the fact they are KG plates, there is literally no difference between these and our Rogue urethane plates. I will admit I still prefer the look of the Rogue plates due to the branding look (the Girya logo is too long and putting the .com on the bottom give them an odd look). I would wager these plates are most likely made in the same factory as the Rogue urethane plates. You can really tell the insert is exactly the same and machi...

Chantal M.
I am happy with my purchase of weight plates. I took advantage of the pre order and it did take 3 months but I finally received them. They are nice plates and would recommend. We even were able to go pick them up so that saved me on shipping.

This is a great first kettle bell. Been using it a lot and I’ve noticed my fitness increase to the point where I’m confident I will buy a couple more. Service was great and I’m considering picking up a club bell, as well.

Andrew V.
GLG gets 5 stars in my book. Received the 335lb set and an extra pair of 45s today. I ordered these in June, so there was a delay. I knew there would be going into this transaction. Relative to how 2020 was for many people the delays were merely a minor setback. Also, once the wait got to be of concern, I was able to get Igor on the horn who could give accurate updates. At least with GLG you could get a tangible order put together when everyone else simply put you on an email list. I tried getti...

This is actually my second purchase of this 10kg size, I got it so I could do some doubles work. They’re great! Comfortable grip, with a good size opening so it is easy for switching hands etc. Recommended.

Well worth the wait and Mr. Pickles approved! We love our new high quality bumper plates & are looking forward to our next purchase to round out the collection. Igor was responsive to our emails and calls with updates and shipping information regarding our international order. You won’t be disappointed in the quality of product and service.

Amazing product honestly. These plates are super high quality and so nice to have them at home. Had a great experience with service, as well. Pickup was easy, and Igor was really friendly. Will be buying more for sure!

Dany R.
These bells are absolutely stunning. Now that they are more accessible, don't look anywhere else, buy from GLG. I gathered a lot of tools & bars to train with over time.. Now all I want at the moment is play with these bad boys, anywhere in/outside the house, they are very well made and a joy to train with. Excellent customer service also! GLG is my go-to canadian online store from now on. The best hardstyle kettlebells.

Customer photo review of Impact Flooring -The best flooring for your joints
Dave H.
Great flooring for my home gym. I wanted to build a lifting platform and be able to drop weights on my basement floor without using crash pads all the time. These impact flooring tiles are great for that. They are easy enough to move around, absorb weights, kettle bells, dumbbells etc.. being dropped on them. They feel nice on the feet, soft but firm enough for the gym. Really happy with the quality of these tiles. I will be ordering some more to fill out the rest of my gym floor with these.

Loving my new plates and barbell 😎. The service is top notch and the quality is 💯. Had to wait a little but in this pandemic it could not be helped. Do NOT hesitate to order your products from here 👍

Customer photo review of Medicine Balls
Donald M.
The medicine balls are excellent. Well made and the rack accommodates the balls well and fit nicely into the spot they are in. I did wash them with dish detergent before use as the balls had some manufacturing oily residue on them, not much, but I didn't want them slipping nor the residue on my hands. Thanks, I really enjoy them. Don

We love these plates. Getting them shipped was a bit of a bear, but we're happy with the final product so I guess the wait was worth it. I'm interested in fractional plates now so I anticipate they will be just as high quality and with any luck, we won't have to wait another 5 months.

It was like Christmas when my 100 pound clubbell came in the mail from Great Lakes Gyra! It has a nice paint job and ultra smooth grip. A big special thanks to Colin and his team. You guys rock!

Michael W.
Mace is quality construction. Certainly not worried about it getting hurt. Can’t wait to get some ware marks in the paint. Truthfully, should have bought a smaller weight but it’s something to work on.

Quality equipment! I’ve been focusing more on static lifts for a few years and decided to incorporate other movements in order to build on different aspects of my training. The tools that Great Lakes Girya have supplied have helped boost me into areas I’ve not been before with respect to my typical lifts. Overall? Great experience with even better equipment. The guys are awesome to deal with and when concerns arise, they do everything in their power to get back to you as quickly as possible. Tim...

I had been looking for a set of polythene plates, but everywhere seemed to be sold out. I am so happy I came across Great Lake Girya’s website! I love my bumper plates and it’s made a perfect addition to my home gym!

Alex W.
It is exactly what you would expect - in a good way. The cast iron looks and feels great. No seems, or bubbling, or anything uncomfortable like that. The etchings are clear and look great. There is a very high level of craftsmanship clearly visible in all aspects of the product. It is excellent, and well priced. If you care about buying North American, getting the best value, and having quality items in your environment - You will not regret this purchase.

Great quality, fair prices and instock. We're gym rats who are sick of the gyms closing and working out in masks so Great Lakes Girya is allowing up to built a pro level home gym so we can get our training on when ever we want. What more can you ask for.

Peter K.
The 84 kg ( 185 lb ) kettlebell has a very well thought out design in that the handle is NOT excessively thick.It's no problem at all for me to get a good grip on it and that makes all the difference.

This is a great quality product professionally packaged and delivered at an affordable price. I’ll definitely be ordering more. The knurling provides just enough grip...not too aggressive on the hands and perfect for smooth transitions from exercise to exercise.

I’m very pleased with this purchase, the wait was very much worth it! Big shoutout to Igor && the owner Colin!! Great business owners definitely know how to attract customers, providing quality gear for the pricing! For those saying oh why’s it taking so long, has to understand it’s a Canadian based company under covid circumstances and Colin && Igor provided guidance through emails, weekly! Much appreciation to these guys and looking forward to more gear!

We bought a few Great Lakes Girya kettlebells a few months ago, and just got a few more to round out the collection! I really like the smooth, consistent finish. It makes the twist and grip slip on cleans so easy and smooth. Very happy with all of the bells.

Got a 20 and 24 kg to make pairs with sizes we already had. Our original 20 kg is shown with our great lakes. The quality of the great lakes Girya kettlebell is vastly superior. Better shape, no rough edges and sits on the wrist more comfortably when doing cleans and snatches.

These crash mats have been great so far. Good quality material, well built, they come as advertised. I’ve been dropping weights on them, and the bar doesn’t bounce back all over the place. Perfect for any home or garage gym.

When I purchased the item and went to pick up, the seller opened the box and showed me the item on the spot to confirm that it was in perfect condition. The item is brand new and I have no issues. I would purchase other items from this seller in the future.

These kettle bells are real nice. The one downside was they just took a bit of time to arrive; I ordered April 30, 2020 and the arrived August 18, 2020. But they arrived in perfect condition and have been working out well for me!

Product was great, however shipping and order updates were a huge issue. I waited 6 months to the day to receive my order (even though I was told multiple times "it would be sent out soon").

Took me about an hour to put together once I found the right wrench! I have the full set of polythene plates and the smaller versions of each and I am able to fit all of them on the rack. Really happy I bought this as it’s made my home gym space much tidier!

Customer photo review of GLG Curved Motorless Treadmill
Murray C.
I received delivery of the motorless treadmill about two months ago . I have been very pleased with the whole experience. Questions I asked prior to the purchase were dealt with quickly and the equipment came very fast considering the covid environment. The equipment was easy to put together. I have been using the treadmill 5 to 7 hours weekly myself and other members of my family have also used it. So far I'm very happy with the product. I will look to update this review about every six t...
