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

Sorry to hear that the gyms are closed, but it's great that your leadership is looking into building a gym behind your workspace! As for NSNs for gym equipment, I'm not entirely sure, but have you tried reaching out to supply/logistics to see if they have any information? Alternatively, you can check out this website https://dynamofitness.com.au/ for some gym equipment options. Good luck and stay healthy!

Find out the legality of the funding for gym equipment. Breaking budget rules and laws can have dire consequences for those who want to make a career of the military. I really don't know about the legality. I want you to cross the Is and cross the Ts.
