Barbells?

Does anyone know where in the general area I can buy a barbell? A location with parking is preferable. I tried both City Sports in Porter and Modell's in Medford, but neither of them carry barbells, just curl bars.

I see them on Craig's List all the time. You might try there.

Try the Sports Authority store in Assembly Square.

I'm pretty sure Sears has barbells. The one at Cambridgeside is probably closest.

That would have been my recommendation. I've seen them there before, I believe.

Or Olympia Sports at Fresh Pond? I have no idea if they carry them, but it's another possibility.

Precision Fitness in Newton, probably Gym Source in Newton, too. Although you may want to call ahead to make sure they have them in stock.

I believe I bought barbells at Target. I think it was the Watertown location.

For those wondering how it panned out...
Olympia Sports doesn't carry them.
Target doesn't carry them.
Craigslist is full of people selling them but none would ever respond to my email.
Sears claims to carry them, so off we go!

Update to the update:
I got back from Sears. Despite what the guy said on the phone, they don't carry them either. (They actually had one on the shelf, with a price tag on it, but it wasn't for sale, as I found out when I tried to buy it.)
