Bulldog Gear

Bulldog Gear is a UK strength and conditioning retailer selling rigs and racks, selectorised and plate-loaded machines, free weights, benches, flooring, treadmills and airbikes, to commercial gyms, personal training studios and home or garage gyms. It sells direct from its own store and states it supplies both commercial and home-use equipment. Our record previously pointed at bulldogequipment.com; that domain now shows a for-sale page, and the operating site is bulldoggear.com.

What matters when choosing

The warranty is published as a table by product category, and the headline term is narrower than it sounds.

For selectorised and plate-loaded machines, the long term covers one failure mode. The schedule reads frame lifetime against welded joint separation, weight stack and selector shaft three years, bearings and pulleys one year, and pins, cables, vinyl, upholstery and end caps six months. A lifetime figure here refers to a specific structural failure, not to the machine. Rigs, racks and pull-up bars are a separate entry at one year.

Using a home product in a facility voids the cover. The page states that using the Home Gym Series, or any product marked non-commercial, in a commercial environment will void its warranty, and tells buyers to contact customer service if they are unsure of a product's suitability. That splits the catalogue more sharply than the product names do.

Flooring is a warranty condition, not an accessory. Barbells must be used on a minimum 18mm gym matting or drop pads, and bumper plates carry the same 18mm minimum flooring requirement. Warranty claims must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the item, with the original packaging retained.

Before you buy

• Read the row for your exact category rather than the brand's headline term. A machine frame and the rack it bolts to are listed separately, at different lengths.
• Confirm the product is not marked non-commercial if it is going into a facility, because that voids the warranty rather than reducing it.
• Plan for the parts that sit outside the frame term. Cables, pins, vinyl and upholstery on machines are on a six-month term, and clearance items are sold as-is with no returns or refunds.
