Sports Plus
Sports Plus is one of the largest fitness retailers in Pakistan. The retailer is not exclusive to gym equipment and includes product categories for sports, fashion apparel and fitness goods. We covered gym wear in Pakistan in a separate article.
In addition to Sports Plus online presence, the brand also has two retail locations in Lahore and Islamabad. The brand also operates official Adidas and Reebok stores in Lahore and Islamabad.
Moving on to gym equipment, Sports Plus has divided its product offerings into a few main categories:
- Cardio
This section includes cross trainers, treadmills, bikes, and rowers. Prices start around PKR 120,000 for a Reebok Crosstrainer and range up to PKR 450,000 for a Reebok Treadmill.
- Training / Yoga / Recovery
This section includes kettlebells, dumbbells, training tubes, yoga mats, recovery wear and more. Most products are either Adidas or Reebok and as such are very high quality.

All sorts of gym benches including weighted benches are under this category. Currently only one variant is available – the Adidas Squat Stand priced at PKR 27,000.
- Studio / Functional
This category includes weight plates, gymballs, platforms, medicine balls and more. The average gymball costs around PKR 6,000.

Apollo carries sporting and fitness goods for various sports such as swim, snooker, skating, badminton, squash, tennis, football, basketball, training, cricket and more.
In terms of gym equipment, Apollo Sports carries the following categories:
- Cardio Equipments
Apollo Sports mainly carries its own brand machines. These machines include Apollo Treadmill starting at PKR 75,000, Apollo Bike starting at PKR 30,000 and Apollo Eliptical starting at PKR 80,000. Since these are a private label brand, the prices are lower compared to Sports Plus.
- Weight Training
This category includes dumbbells, weight plates, kettlebells, barbell bars and gym benches. The smaller items are reasonably priced, most within the PKR 2,000 to 5,000 range. Most gym benches are priced around PKR 60,000. However, bar one, all are currently out of stock.

Apollo offers the most number of products for this category. Products include gymballs, exercise mats, weights, jump ropes, push & pull bars and more.

This section features boxing gloves, punching bag, pads and protection and more. Apollo branded punching bag costs PKR 3,000 to 4,000 while gloves range from PKR 950 to 2,000. Again, quite reasonable prices.
- Other Accessories
To round off the categories, accessories offer gym bags, bottles and support wear.
Advance Fitness
Established in 1979, Advance Fitness by Bilal Brothers is one of the oldest fitness retailers in Karachi. The brand deals in a wide range of imported gym equipment brands. Advance Fitness has one store in Karachi’s Sindhi Muslim area.
In contrast to the previous two retailers, Advance Fitness only deals in fitness equipment and not sports wear.
Advance Fitness offers the following categories:
- Treadmills
The range of treadmills at Advance Fitness starts from PKR 100,000 up to PKR 500,000. Varying from different weights, speeds and features. However, a factor to note is that the website does not mention brand names.

There are multiple types of these machines on offer including cross trainer and multi-function bike & elliptical. Prices start from around PKR 96,000 up to PKR 300,000.
- Home Gyms

- Rowing Machines
Two rowing machines are detailed on the website with only one’s price mentioned. A simple commercial grade rower is priced at PKR 200,000.
It is highly likely that Advance Fitness has not updated their website. As such, more machines and equipment may be available at their retail location.
