    The treadmills came with hours on them and major electrical faults. The faults are listed in the manual.
    joey s.

    The experience here was an absolute nightmare. Very dishonest and fraudulent. We spent thousands at weights and bars buying flooring, turf, and plates. Joe seemed to be very helpful at first and nice. After working with him I decided to buy some machines from him for our grand opening of a new fitness facility. What we received was not what we ordered. When the machines arrived a couple of them were not the colors we ordered, some didn't work fully, one was missing stickers, some were mislabeled, the weight stacks didn't reflect what the photo showed, and the stack said 150lbs (was supposed to be 160lbs) and pulled at 50lbs. To make this short Joe sent equipment to our facility that was badly damaged, didn't work as described, and had major mechanical fault errors. We were given no option to return, exchange, and Joe never sent a tech to fix the machines. We were told we were complaining when they were delivered. When we voiced our concern Joe quickly became aggravated and started to raises his voice. Weights and bars owes us 5k. They refused to give us a refund in a timely manner and only decided to do so after we told them we were going to dispute the charges. We are currently dealing with them trying to get our money back, set payments for the last piece of equipment and end this. I would never recommend this company. I wish I could write more but YELP has a limit. Do not trust these people with money. I will add as much as I can to the review. The company agreed to give us a payment plan for a Stairmaster. Joe threw a fit, changed his mind, then tried to take our money, charge extra fees, and tell us take what were given. This man should not be in business. Go to Lifefitness, Rogue, or Precor. They are worth the money. Scammers like this are everywhere in the industry. TREADMILLS: They are supposed to be new. 15k for these is the price given. The treadmills came with a lot of scratches and marks on them. The wheels on them were worn as if it had been moved a lot. The cup holders had a lot of marks as if it had been used many times. If you go into the computer you can see major electrical damage has occurred. There were 3 error codes listed. In addition there were updates, photos, and apps being uploaded to the machine dating back to 2017. We were told this was a new model that just came out. ASSISTED PULL UP MACHINE: We ordered a black machine. Joe called me prior to delivery and asked if we wanted an upgraded model at no cost. I agreed. When it arrived it was a grey machine. I voiced a concern and Joe went off about us being grateful and how we should take what were given. I agreed to an upgrade but he never said it was grey. The machine did not provide assistance at any of the lower weights what so ever. After you went down the assistance pad just stayed at the bottom. The higher weights gave resistance at a much lower weight than what was listed. We immediately voiced concerns and our female manager was met with insults about her ability to do a pull up and to use higher resistance. The machine wasn't good quality, the wrong color, didn't give resistance at lower weights, and didn't work as advertised. This machine came with major faults. HIP ADDUCTION/ABDUCTION MACHINE: We were shown a photo that had stickers listing how to use the machine and the function. This machine had no such stickers. We were told they were sent but never came. The machine had a 150lbs of resistance. The photo showed 160lbs. We used a luggage scale to see how much resistance was given and it was just over 50lbs. No where near the 150lbs advertised or described. PRONE HAMSTING CURL: Very hard to change the adjustments for leg length. Very rigged and cheap pin. The machine went up and gave very uneven resistance. It was light to begin with and a lot of weight at the top. It felt double the weight at least of what the pin was in. The machine did not come down on the eccentric phase. You had to manually pull it down. Did not not work properly. You had to pull it down to make it even function as a leg curl. Horrible machine, major fault. FIXED BARBBELLS: The barbells came covered in rust, highly scratched, dented, and had deep gashes in them. These were highly damaged. We never actually saw the rack as Joe took it away before we could even open it. Weights and Bars disputed our charge back here. Fraud! They took the bars away, never left a rack. We returned them. These bars were not new, they were highly used, dropped, and damged. If they were new they had no business giving these to a paying customer. The price around 6-7k i believe. SEATED LEG EXTENSION/SEATED HAMSTRING CURL: We ordered a black machine and received a grey one. Joe asked us if e wanted a free upgrade. I agreed and a grey machine was delivered. This was never mentioned to us. The machine did not move well or provide smooth resistance. The cable kept coming lose when we were trying to adjust the settings on it. A poor quality machine, cables don't work.

    The conversation.

    There was no confusion on Lbs. vs. Kg. There was a dramatic inconsistency every time we spoke regarding the price of the weights. Our time was water driving from Martinez to San Jose to then be lied to again. I forgot to mention the one of the guys tried to tell my husband that 'only the 35 lb weights were included in the price you gave me'. LOL!!! Oh and Joe....of your 2000 customers (which changed from the 3000 customers you said on Saturday) you only got 2 positive reviews and 1 bad. Those are your real numbers.....not good. If you helped 2000 customers and delivered quality service you would have many more 5 star CURRENT reviews! **** DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM **** READ TEXTS BELOW!

    Like many, I've been looking for Olympic bars and plates for months and hadn't been able to get my hands on any due to COVID related demand. I saw Weights and Bars on Instagram and messaged them to see if they still had stock. They responded a few hours later and the next day I went down and bought a bar and some weights. The staff was friendly and easygoing. They even helped us load the items. Their prices are a bit higher than others for weights of similar quality. However that's what happens when demand for an item is high. Prices go up. So I can't really blame the staff. TL;DR: friendly staff and good stock. What else can you ask for?

    Rack set up at home

    Ok I've read quite a few reviews (after I went there) most of the negatives are around the prices, calling it "price gouging". I really don't think thats fair. Now are the prices a bit higher than non COVID prices, yes. Is that their fault or their distributors fault who knows. I'd imagine it's mostly on the latter. I've seen price gouging on Craigs list, price gouging is 90lbs for $260. You can get bumpers here for $180. Again higher than normal but you literally can't get them anywhere. I've been there twice now, if you go at 10am yeah they can be a little short cause well they are trying to move and help as many people as possible. I went at 10:45 and they took their time. My suggestion if you need anything, get at 10am get the weights you need. Then hang around and look at the other equipment and you can talk to them as the line lessens. They are super friendly. I actually bought 45s on discount that had defects so I can't attest to their quality but they work for me I dont care about a bit or rubber falling off. The black bar they sell the most of is made in the USA and is a great utility bar to have. I bought the rack you can separate for easier storage and it works good, just grab some sand bags from Home Depot. They have a bench for $500 that is incline and slight decline, very solid. The rack and the bench both made in China fwiw. But they are good. Follow their IG and go early if you are looking for any smaller sizes.

    no response via text until after phone call from their boss was made. Clearly I was just asking for clarification

It was very cost effective and IMO it works incredibly well for families with growing children. We were going in a last minute trip and I was able to find everything I needed for a very reasonable renting price and just needed to spend a few minutes inside the store. Staff was super helpful guiding me through the process. This is my favorite Sports Basement location. Highly recommend!

    "Best Footwear Experience--Ask for Steve!"…read more I've been to countless running and shoe stores over the years, but my experience at the Campbell Sports Basement was on an entirely different level. If you are looking for new shoes, do yourself a favor and find Steve in the footwear department. His knowledge is genuinely unmatched. He didn't just point me to the newest or most expensive model; he took the time to understand the mechanics of my feet and explain the nuances of every shoe we discussed. He even had me running down the aisles in various pairs to ensure the fit and feel were perfect. It was easily the best customer service I've ever had, better than some shoe speciality shop! To top it off, I found out about their "Love Your Purchase" return policy. It's a total game-changer--knowing I can actually test these out and bring them back if they don't work for my feet gives me so much peace of mind. Between Steve's expertise and the store's return policy, I won't be going anywhere else for my gear.
