I'm very close to starting a fitness products site. I don't tend to go into things half-heartedly, we may (if I have anything to do with it, will) be offering the following :

Punchbags
Gloves
BOB's (rubber blokes that you can hit)
Focus Mitts
Pads
Body protection
etc etc etc

Everything that you'd need in the Martial Arts or Boxing world, with genuine quality, a very distinctive colour scheme, and decent prices. Also heavily endorsed by an Ex-UK Champion Kickboxer, and a few others.

Anything you'd like to see would be much appreciated, anything you'd like, any ideas. Anything. The whole idea is that it's going to be built on public opinion.

Edit : Home multi-gyms and benches, weights etc are also on the agenda, but that's 'second wave'.

Cheers!
Steve

Benni

Fitness drinks (In bulk of course) etc Like gym accesories.

FastFordChris

what about wrestling gear?, huuuuuuuuuge market for it and not many places that supply it and the ones that do cost a fortune!

Steve200+

Great idea Benni ... any particular ones?

Chris, sounds right up our alley Can you give me some examples? I'm not clued-up on the type of stuff you guys need.

Benni

I would think like erm protein drinks etc, All stuff useful for the gym. Also an online discussion forum would be good.

FastFordChris

this site will give you an idea of whats needed

on the left hand side theres the catagories of all the different types of gear, though i would imagine that you would be more interested in stocking on the boots and pads etc

theres bound to be loads of wrestling schools in your area as there popping up everywhere so supplying them could make quite a bit of trade.

Brookesy

Fitness supplemensts such as weight gain powders & creatine

Benni/Brookesy, I'm looking into the drinks and supplements as we speak. I'll have to try and get a guaranteed few orders before I go that far though, E-Mail's are flying

Chris, interesting thought this, I'm going to make some enquiries, the pads are no problem, boots, I'm interested in. I'm going to try and find a local wrestling club this week, see what the score is.

Cheers guys! Any more ideas from anyone, chuck 'em in!

Actually, as an aside, I may have some samples to give out to be 'battered', I've got a couple of bags coming (but they *may* be spoken for), a fair amount of gloves of varied weights, some 2ftx1ft-ish punch pads, and a few other bits and bobs.

Anyone who can give these things some *real* pain, PM I've got a man who has, to date, broken three people's fingers through focus mitts testing some 10oz gloves And if all goes to plan, a boxing gym testing a couple of bags so far.
