Where to get a Pull Up / Chin Up Bar in the Philippines

Patience is a virtue. I believe in that quote.

After trying out Power 90 for several days, I decided that it is not for me. Yes, it will help to achieve my goal in losing weight and becoming fit, but in my opinion, it is too easy unlike P90X workout. Although Power 90 helped me to increase my stamina to become ready in P90X I am getting bored in doing it.

So, I decided to give P90X another try. I told myself that I will just hit the pause button (just like what Tony Horton always say in the video) if I feel a little tired. I will not pushed myself to limit unlike the first time I tried.

Once again, I tried searching for a chin up bar in the internet. I literary search every possible fitness website/forums in the Philippines to gain knowledge where to buy it locally. I searched every known internet marketplace / buy and sell website in the Philippines to no avail. In short, I failed.

I was contemplating on ordering it from Amazon.com. But it means shelling out $40-$50 for the pull up bar itself and then having it shipped here in the Philippines for another $40 or more. I was about to do that, then I notice that Amazon do not use the word pull-up bar or chin-up bar for the item. The most popular chin up bar in Amazon is called Iron Gym Total Upper body Workout Bar.

A light bulb glow into my head and I search Philippine websites for Iron Gym Total Upper body Workout Bar instead of the keyword I was using (chin up bar, pull up bar) and BAM! There it is. Toby's Sports have it. It is not the extreme edition, just the regular one but it will suffice. It costs P980 (about $20) so it's a big saving for me than ordering it in amazon.

P90 X here I come!
