5-50lb dumbbell set with XL storage rack
Long K.

A delayed review, but this place helped me to create some sense of normalcy in the early phases of the pandemic, with weights for my home gym. Their website is easy order to order from and they offer high quality items that can be discounted when you choose to pickup in person. My 5-50lb dumbbell set is still holding up well and the storage rack is excellent quality and gives me confidence that it can securely hold all the weights without sagging. Price-wise I think they're definitely worth it when buying large weight sets, but I can't speak for the other items. I'm glad they opened a second location in Tukwila, which is definitely easier to get to instead of Bonney Lake.

I've been waiting to get all I wanted prior to leaving this review (yes I'm selfish and didn't want to get gouged on resells). This place is a gem and couldn't be happier that they're here in the PNW. Products are top notch, especially for their price. Their bumper plates were backordered, with an ETA of Nov/Dec (~ 2 weeks after my order). Given COVID, I was fully anticipating they were over promising and would under deliver. I was completely wrong. First week of Dec I got an email informing me my order was ready. Staff at their warehouse were super friendly, even with the constant stream of customers and probably having to lift and load thousands of pounds a day. Even online they were super responsive and willing to help. Overall, can't praise and recommend Giant Lifting enough. There's ridiculous offers on CL and FB with people reselling crap Weider and Fitness gear for twice the retail price. Save your money. Go to Giant Lifting instead.

Bent plate.  Gap between steel insert and collar.

A IG friend recommended this company to me, and I was excited to find they were one of the few places selling complete sets of plates. I attempted to place an order on 4/22, but their online system didn't ship to my home in Texas. So, I reached out to them on IG and received a comment instructing me to email about a quote. The response was quick and straightforward. I received a shipping quote and eventually paid $200 in shipping, no small sum for me. They did knock some off of the cost of the bumper set, which was appreciated, but again I did pay for my own shipping. I make a point of that because after I ordered my set, their web site began to advertise "FREE SHIPPING" in large letters. Anyway, I received my bumper plate set last week, and the VERY day I received them (within an hour of unboxing) I took each plate and placed it on my brand new Ohio Power Bar. Two of my 45 bumpers are defective. The steel inserts are crooked so the plates do not sit flush against the collars of my barbell. The photos I've attached don't do justice to how janky it looks. It's very irritating, and emblematic of a substandard product with bad QC. So, that same day (within the hour) I reached out to Giant Lifting by email and received no response, which was odd because my previous emails to them had received prompt responses. However, this time, I got nothing. Sent an IG message. Still nothing. Finally, I called and spoke with Hunter, but he spoke to me as if I didn't really know what I was talking about. "Sometimes you just have to put the clips on tighter." Um, the plate is damaged. The clips are on. The plate is STILL damaged. During our conversation Hunter brought up the fact that their bumpers are made in the same factory as Fringe Sport. That may be true, but their customer service doesn't appear on par, and these bumpers certainly aren't on par. I sent photos and videos of the defect, and was pretty much ignored until I called and was in essence told I didn't know how to load a bumper plate. Fringe, Rogue, REP, or Titan would have said, "Damaged plate. That's no good. Let's send you another/Let's get you a refund/Let's get you some credit." Giant didn't do ANY of that. It was, "Well, let us check and see if our other plates are damaged to see if you have a point." I have a recording of my conversation with Hunter. I listened to it again to see if maybe I'd misheard. I hadn't misheard. I sent Giant Lifting PHOTOS and VIDEOS. The plates are damaged. What good does looking at your inventory do me? If Rogue or Titan were selling bumper sets, I'd have likely gone that route. Giant wanted to compare itself to Fringe, well, I live in Austin, one of their reps even reached out to me on IG, when he saw I needed plates. I foolishly said, "No, thanks. I have some coming in." Now, I wish I'd taken him up on the offer. I'm giving 3 stars because I do still appreciate that they were willing to get me a quote (before they began offering free shipping to everyone), but the product isn't up to the standard I was promised, and I never got a feeling that the owners were genuinely interested in making it right; that's very, very disappointing. I wouldn't and won't buy from Giant Lifting again

I recently purchased from Giant Lifting since they had full sets of plates available! I'd been looking for months, and couldn't believe there was a place nearby that actually had stock. There is a huge discount for local pickup, so I made the 50 minute drive there. It's in a warehouse, but it has a storefront. The employees there were pleasant and brought out the plates and loaded them in the car for me. It was a great experience and I'll recommend it to any friends looking to get quality workout equipment!

The staff at Giant Lifting makes the gym equipment shopping experience easy. You are able to preorder items from the website and contact for other items that aren't available to be placed on backorder. I didn't plan on buying gym equipment and now I can't stop supporting Giant Fitness! When you think you have enough equipment, there is always room for more.

I called ahead, and asked if they sold Washington State Parks Discover Passes. Yes! says the…read moreperson who answered the phone. So, on a dark and rainy Puyallup night I drove to their store. The first clerk I asked to sell me a pass fumbled around and could not log into a computer. He made an odd, childish sounding call to another clerk. That person came and the two of them would have been comical to watch, if not so sad. After about 5 minutes, clerk 2 called his manager. I had the dubious please of listening to first questions about the computer ( I could tell it was not good news of some type), then a long conversation about sales, socks and things the clerk was to do. It was very clear the customer standing awkwardly in their store was not important. So, after the call, I'd been in the store 10-15 minutes. The clerk addresses me, while looking down and to his left, like he was afraid of me. I had NOT said a single word at this point. He gave a long-winded excuse, this was a known issue, they had submitted tickets, they simply had to call the state and get it fixed. I simply said OK and left to find another store and by my pass. This store needs training and a manager shake up. To not post the computer was broke (so I would not drive there in the first place), to not notify staff, to not care about the customer standing there while they were talking socks and sales.... Everything that is wrong about retail training and service is endemic to this store.

I really like this new Biig 5 store they opened in Puyallup, its away from the South Hill Mak…read morenightmare area so can avoid it and just go here if I need to get shoes! They always have good prices and quality of shoes, and UNLIKE Target, they have Men shoes! Yay! They also have a good selection of camping stuff, hunting, and fishing and whatever else a active outdoor life needs :) I do think this store has real friendly and helpful employees as well.
