Our gyms are closed, does supply/logistics have NSN's for gym equipment?

I’m working in a BDE S4 shop in Kuwait and all the gyms are closed for the foreseeable future. Our leadership has expressed interest in building a gym behind our workspace; does anyone know any NSNs for gym equipment? Specifically a barbell, plates (preferably bumper) and a squat rack?

You can Google the items, I'm sure they have that sort of information

Dang, a deployment there without a gym. Stinks.

Just a thought. Maybe they are closed for a reason, perhaps COVID. Bypassing the mitigation measure put in place, may not be the smartest idea. While I understand the want and need to be working out, there was a reason for it. If you are talking for a small group of people to use, it is a bit of a different story.

You can check GCSS or Property Book Website, including DLA. However, I have been down that road. I checked with the Approval Authority to purchase gym equipment from companies online. By providing pricing and cost the Approval Authority provided an $8,000 purchase cost and the Property Book Officer put the equipment on the Property Book, as Installation Property for a Joint Armed Forces usage. Also, you can check with the State Department by POC email to see if they have unused equipment and do a 3161 Lateral Transfer. Good luck!

If you have an ordering officer and purchasing agent (officer), they may local purchase by filling out a 3953 and a SF 44.

There should be. You might want to do local purchase with AAFEES. You many also want to consider using your NAF unit funds
