Customer photo review of Great Lakes Girya Polyurethane Bumper Plates - 150 KG Set
Bradley D.
Very high quality polyurethane bumber plates. Extremely competitive pricing compared to the "other guys" and shipping was free to Alberta. Includes a pair of 5KG plates which is a treat and very good value for the set. I couldn't be happier, will definitely be purchasing from GLG again!

Simply awesome. These are a great starter set, more to come. It’s great knowing I don’t have to baby these the way I did with the “adjustable kettlebell” I started with. The grip is just right for me, not too smooth, not too rough.

Plates arrived and they are great! Minor scuffing on the lettering of one of them, but very minor. Plates are great quality, nice to finally have some with everyone else out of stock!

I like the feel of the e-coating. There's some small blemishes in the handle of my 55 lb bell, but other than that they are pristine. I'm planning to buy 2 more bells.

Hadn’t ordered before from GLG and honestly wasn’t sure about doing a preorder. But I got my e-coat 20kg bell and am quite pleased with it. Handle is very comfortable and just the right size for both 2-handed and single hand work. I like that it has both a rounded side and flattened side. I look forward to receiving my 10kg later this fall.

The 45lb dumbbells have exceeded my expectations. They feel great in my hands. No smell to them at all. I picked them up at their warehouse which was quick and easy. Would definitely buy from here again.

Customer photo review of 20lb steel club - single
Maxime D.
I built my skills up on 5-10 and 15 lbs Onnit steel clubs. I felt ready for an upgrade but could easily order. The 20 lbs from Great Lake Gyria compares favorably. I guess I am just happy it is available in Canada. I did not realize how much I grimace when I swing it around. Beautiful object and so much fun to swing!

Exactly as expected. Great price for each one. Even with shipping it was way cheaper to order from here and was at my door within a week. Love my 5lbs to 25lbs dumbbells

Eric B.
Ordered Urethane bumpers and fractional plate set. Got my stuff very fast and in it was in great shape. I'm from quebec and got my stuff in 5 days!!! Packing was a bit ruffed up, but plates were almost flawless. I say almost flawless, because one of my 20 kg had some grease or stuff on it that damaged the bumper color. Sent a request with a photo to the company and received a phone call from the costumer service the next day. They sent me a return label and told me they would send me anoth...

Ordered urethane plates after seeing an instagram ad for a sale. Ordered December 8th and delivered on a Saturday December 17th. I really wanted these for the low odour since my gym is in my bedroom, and they are perfect, no smell at all. They also look amazing. 2x25 2x20 2x15 4x10 4x5

Really happy with the bell. Good shape, the window allows the bell to sit nicely below the wrist. Quick delivery, and received detailed updates throughout shipping. I will be ordering new bells from here going forward

I have 1-14kg, 2-12kg, and 2-10kg kettlebells. They are super high quality and I've just put in an order for a competition bell to see how I like them. I have been very pleased with the packaging and overall service and quality of the products.

Eric M.
It's my first steel club (5 lbs.) and it is really fun to swing and it feels great. The quality is top notch and the powder coating is perfect and will be long lasting. I will buy more and heavier steel clubs really soon.

Customer photo review of 10kg/22lbs Macebell
Eric M.
Waited a long time for this review. Got these steel maces (10lbs and 20 lbs) last year and they are amazing, fun and really versatile. They were the first items I bought from this great company and I will be a customer for a long time. The quality of these items is simply perfection and I will definitely buy heavier maces in the future following my progression.

My new 24kg bell arrived well packaged. Poor UPS driver was surprised that such a small box was so heavy. The bell is nice and smooth without any sharp bits. My next KB will be from Great Lakes Girya as well.

Quite fun for a smaller 'bell. The handle diameter and window size make it feel a bit lighter and also make it easier for hand-switches, juggling or similar movements. Looks great as well.

Just got my 35 pound steel Macebell from Great Lakes Girya out of Kitchener, Ontario. It's a beautiful beast with a thick handle and smooth finish. True perfection...get one now?

Couldn't ask for more :) One of the early pre-orders before co-vid and once it hit knew delays were to be expected. Communication was made and updates were provided as well through email. Once ready to pickup, team was super friendly at the pickup. Great to chat with them for a bit and look forward to ordering more 45's,50's,55's Sean House

Marshall
Bought a set of kettlebells last year and they have been fantastic to train with. No frills or rubber that's going to fade & crack over time, just durable coated cast iron. Top notch quality! Was very excited to add a new 40kg to my set this past week and it hasn't disappointed.

I can't hype this kettlebell enough. It's by far the best I've ever used. I have huge hands, and they can comfortably fit for a double handed grip. The side grip is perfect, too. The balance feels great. There are no bumps or incongruences. The bottom is perfectly flat, too. I've bought cheap bells in the past with bumps and imperfections that do limit performance. Did I mention that it just looks stunning? It's a beautiful piece of equipment. I'm recommending GreatLakes Girya to everyone I know...

Customer photo review of Heavy duty adjustable squat / bench stands
Zach R.
I've been looking at purchasing a pair of squat stands for awhile. I was looking for something compact that can be moved around in the space, yet solid enough to not feel like they were falling apart. There is alot of cheap options online which I was hesitant about. After reading through the positive reviews, I pulled the trigger. These do not disappoint!!! I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Ordered last Friday and delivered today. These beasts took only 20 mins to assemble and will last me f...

Customer photo review of Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plates
Jordan L.
These took about a month to arrive, but the owner himself brought them (about 6+ hours north of the Kitchener store). I bought 4x 45lbs plates and 2x 10lbs. They look great! When I ordered them the 45s were $65 and the 35s were $70. I figured it might be a mistake, but ordered 2 sets of 45s instead of getting 35s as well. For the price they were the best ones available. I also have a pair of Hansu Power deep dish 25lbs plates that are really nice but a little more expensive. I would like to ...

Very happy with this macebel. Well made, good grip. The slight flare-out at the bottom of the handle is a nice touch for sweaty hands. My twenty-five pound macebel is my new best friend

Love these plates! They look awesome and the price was unbeatable! Also the owner delivered them to my door himself, for free?! Can't beat that customer service. I've bought from GLG a few times now and will certainly buy again in the future.

I have several bells from other companies, but this one feels far superior. The coating feels great in the hands (just don't forget the chalk!), the are no rough areas left from sub-par casting (this bad boy is as smooth as a baby's bum). No hard or rough sections make this a pleasure for cleans and snatches. This is absolute awesome value for a great product.

Lucas M.
I saw an opportunity to pre-order, and get a great deal on a much needed kettlebell. I carefully read the terms of the pre-order which clearly states that the trade off for the $aving$ is that there isn't a guaranteed delivery date. I thought about it, and decided that I am perfectly happy saving money and being patient. Then one day this wonderful package arrived at my door and we both lived happily ever after. I really respect this business for offering the pre-order model of sales, as it help...

Fantastic Dumbbells, exactly what I had hoped for. I ordered in November 2020, received them the middle of February 2021. Definitely worth the weight, given the significant discount for pre-ordering. Communication from the seller was quick and accurate. Highly recommended.

The wrist guards are great when doing high volume or teaching a new kettlbell trainee. I use the for conditioning workouts to keep the sweat from running down my arms and ruining my grip.

Very well made. Great to be able to get in a good workout at home with some weight. Grab some chalk because you're gonna be sweating 😂. Great customer service as well.

Customer photo review of Resistance Power Bands
Devin N.
It was so hard to find these band anywhere. Once I seen these I didn’t hesitate. If you want to work on your chin-ups I suggest using these to help you. Been using them for years. I had to buy my own cause the gym doesn’t provide them anymore.

Use this band for dips. It’s helped me out the past 3 years. I find the bands make you push yourself a bit more than the machines. So glad I found these bands and can continue doing what I was doing. Thank you so much!

Customer photo review of 5-50lb Dumbbell set with high quality stand- shipping included
Donald M.
I was very happy to receive my DBs and Rack. I was short a few DBs but have been assured they will be sent to me. No Problem. The only issue I have is that the DBs on the lower racks from 35 lbs. to 50 lbs. do not have adequate space to remove and replace them easily. If there was a few inches added to the rack, which it can easily accommodate, and the spacing adjusted it would be perfect. I have no issues with the DBs themselves. They are well constructed and durable.

Great to use for a stretch for any exercise. Kept it in my gym bag and now it hangs with the rest of them in my basement and gets used for my home workouts. Highly recommend for any activity.

This is a serious kettlebell. I absolutely love everything about it. The handle feels great, the kettlebell sits perfectly in the rack, and it just looks cool. A kettlebell with a kettlebell logo? I'm sold. Thanks for the quality product!

I'm super happy with this kettlebell. I've bought three kettlebells from GLG and I know I'll keep supporting this company. The quality is amazing, and is a huge upgrade from my cheap powder coated bells, in terms of both feel and aesthetics. This will be the bell to get me through the snatch test. Love it.
