Used home gym equipment in the UAE typically sells for AED 295 to AED 2,450 (about $81 to $675). Multi-station gyms are cheap to buy used and difficult to move, which is why they often sell for a fraction of their original price.

Selling home gym equipment in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Count the weight plates and confirm the pin is present
- Work out how far it dismantles and photograph the sections
Getting it ready
- Measure the assembled footprint and height, and establish honestly whether it comes apart and how far.
- Check every cable, pulley and weight pin, and test each station moves smoothly.
Photograph
- The weight stack and cables
- Each separate item in the bundle, laid out
- Any frayed cable, worn pad or rust
Put in the description
- Exactly what is included, item by item
- Assembled footprint and height in centimetres
- Weight stack total, and the condition of cables, pulleys and pads
Collection only, and access is the whole negotiation. State the floor, the stairs, whether it is already dismantled and whether you can help. Honesty here saves both of you a wasted afternoon.
January is far and away the strongest month, with a secondary autumn lift. Large multi-gyms are genuinely hard to move outside that window.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 2,471 a buyer pays is the AED 2,471 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell home gym equipment in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Are the cables in good condition?
Inspect for fraying and photograph. A frayed cable is a safety issue and a replacement cost, and it must be disclosed.
Why is used gym equipment so cheap?
Supply is high and moving it is hard. Multi-station gyms in particular often sell for a small fraction of their original price.
What is the main safety check?
The cables. Fraying at the pulleys means the cable can fail under load, and it should be replaced before the equipment is used.
