Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I get a brochure or price list?
Call our inside sales manager Karyn Lewis at 800-585-4977

2) What is the length of your Dumbbell Handles?
5-3/4" inside of head to inside of head. Easily fits all Dumbbell racks.

3) Why should I choose straight VS Tapered Dumbbell Handles?
Purely a matter of preference although Tapered is not generally desirable over 100 lbs.

4) What is the advantage of your NEW Urethane Dumbbell Handle?
It is the first ever U.S. made Molded handle that is bonded to the steel handle. Not only is it extremely comfortable and easy to grip it has corrosion resistant advantages over plated handles so a great choice in humid environments.

5) What is the difference between Hard Chrome and Decorative Chrome?
Hard chrome will not peel and flake like decorative chrome so it has safety advantages, the trade off is it has less corrosion resistance than decorative chrome.

6) If you say UNILOCK Dumbbells are adjustable for wear does that mean they will come loose?
No what it means is that after abuse that destroys other dumbbells Unilock can easily be adjusted or a part replaced making them new again. With the other Dumbbells you will need to throw them away.

7) Why would I buy your U.S. made Cable Attachments for twice the money?
To date we cannot think of a cable attachment line from any manufacturer that has a soft grip that lasts longer than a few months making them virtually unusable. Our U.S. line is built with precision components and we have yet to see a grip wear out in 3 years. Buy ours once or buy the cheap imports over and over.

8) What makes GP Industries different from the Competition?
GP Industries is a full service design and manufacturing company. Unlike many competitors that merely Import and distribute we design our products in house. In many cases we mate U.S. made precision components with various Imported Components which are then final assembled in the U.S. giving us cost advantages while maintaining quality control. Many products are 100% U.S. made.

9) How long has GP Industries been in busines?
GP Industries has been in business for 10 years. Additionally the owners of GP Industries have over 60 years of experience collectively in the Commercial Fitness Industry from both a manufacturing and sales background.

10) There are companies that offer cheaper prices and longer warranties, why?
As in repeated history you get what you pay for. There is no way to produce high quality CHEAP! GP Industries only has two real competitors and they are both longstanding U.S. Companies producing very high quality. We highly reccomend cost comparisons. It should be obvious that companies offering cheap prices and warranties that far exceed their time in business is merely a sales tactic to gain business. They have NO WAY to substantiate their claims. WILL THEY BE AROUND TO BACK UP THOSE WARRANTIES?
