Kettlebells are excellent quality
Kettlebells are excellent quality. They are comfortable to hold and feel balanced with the right space between the bell and the horn. Even better, they were on a buy 2 get 1 free offer! They were delivered really quickly and I'm already looking at my next purchase.

Great value & great customer service.
I have made several purchases from Northern over the past year or so and have been impressed by the value & quality of the equipment. On a recent purchase there was a delay due to courier error. I contacted Northern and explained the situation to John. He kindly liaised with admin / courier etc and remedied the matter.
The post purchase customer service was excellent. Thank you John.
Would definitely recommend. Great value and great service.

High Quality Kettlebells
High Quality Kettlebells at a very reasonable price at 3 for 2.
Kettlebells had a decent finish, it's not the best finish if you're a perfectionist, mine arrived with a couple blobs of runny paint, some scuffs and scratches and the handles are ever so slightly coarse. It does the job at the end of the day, hopefully it will take a beating.
Very fast delivery, packaging wasn’t quite as protected as I’ve seen from competitors.

I started my strength training a year ago, the trainer i use, uses Northern Gym for his gym, so I knew I would be getting quality equipment. I was expecting to pay high, however, the price of equipment is brilliant. I have purchased a bench, several different Kg dumbells, kettlebells and resistance bands. My home gym is going along nicely. When I am not a the gym, I have quality equipment at home. Brilliant fast delivery too. Thanks Tracey

Solid stand
Ordered a stand and 3kg, 6kg and 9kg hex weights, with standard delivery. The stand arrived the following day and the weights a couple of days later. Really happy, the stand is solid and the weights fit perfectly. Quick delivery and quality products.

Awful delivery times
One week after placing an order and paying for express delivery I am still missing 30% of my order
Asked for express delivery refund and was ignored.
Still waiting for tracking information for my remaining items
Everything comes from different couriers at different times of different days so you need to be home pretty much 24/7 for 2 weeks if you place an order
Yet to use the products so no idea if they are any good

Great company if you run into issues with anything
Great company if you have any issues, there was a huge mix-up with the courier who didn't include the address and they managed to contact them and sort everything out. I spoke to John, one of the founders, and they managed to fully rectify the situation. The gym flooring I received was decent quality too and way better priced than its competitors. Impressed with how they handled everything.
