Where can I get this piece of home fitness equipment?`?
Many years ago - many, many years ago - there was this home fitness thing that was basically a spring inside of a telescoping rod, with handles on both ends (so it could be pushed shut against resistance), and it had cables between the handles (so when you pulled the cables apart, the telescoping rod pushed in on itself, again providing resistance).

You could, for example, hold it like a bow-and-arrow, and pull on the cables for resistance.

Bad representation.

I don't even remember what it was called, but it was very useful.

Does anyone know what it is called, adn if they are sold anyhmore? I cannot even look on eBay, since I don't know what it's called (and "fitness thing" doesn't seem to work well.)

I think you mean the Bullworker.

I must choose a country to manufacture & distribute quality fitness equipment. Is India most cost effective?

I heard of a company expanding there manufacturing output with lower cost by opening a shop in Korea, if that is any help to you. they manufacture hinges that are definitely shipped back to the states for distributing though. And already have a factory that served all of those purposes here with a successful history.

Is there a place that sells used fitness equipment for cheap, other than ebay?
I'm considering getting a total gym, but don't want to pay full price.

Try Bargain Finder, Craigslist, call local gyms to see if they are selling any equipment they don't need anymore, they are always replacing things.

Does anyone know the best place to buy disinfectant wipes in bulk for a fitness room to wipe off equipment?
We are creating a fitness room in the office building and are looking for hte best deal on disinfectant wipes for the equipment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

costco or sams or a warehouse store like that. i know at sams you can get 4 large containers of the clorox wipes for 10$. at normal stores, each of these containers is like 4$, so it's a good deal.
