Does anyone know a place where I can buy these and other fitness equipment?

A website is cool. Or a shop where I can actually buy it in person. In the Bundang/Seoul area?

Thanks a lot.

Do what I did, go stupid cheap.

Buy one of those huge bouncy balls for the kids, little bigger than a palates ball. Then just start with some 2 liter bottles filled with sand / water/ whatever gets you the desired weight.

When the time comes move up to the 3 liter Soju bottles.

Plus you get all the fun of emptying them.
Then again I wanted more of a training regiment not a mass builder regiment.

Ha ha!

Actually that's exacty what i've been doing for the past 6 months. I've been filling up suitcases and bags with water bottles and lifting them. It works great for some excercises, but a want the real thing now.

Thanks for the replies. That site looks good.

Does anyone know of an actual sporting goods store where you can go but it in person?

At Dongdaemun Stadium station there are exercise shops that sell weights on and around the intersection that hall the Fashion TV building (exit 11, 12, and 13 I believe).

Thanks.

That would be tricky moving all that stuff on the subway though. I'll have to see if a freind will drive me over there and help me out. Awesome tip.

They will deliver it, probably for free.
