Heavy things, handled
Secondhand gym equipment, without the hassle.
Toka is the best place to buy and sell secondhand gym equipment in Australia. Racks, plates, benches, treadmills: gear like this is heavy, holds its value, and changes hands in person, which is exactly the kind of deal Toka was built for.
Toka is a local secondhand marketplace app where an agent handles the admin of buying and selling. Photograph the gear and the agent writes the listing, prices it and answers the buyers. Payment is secured before you meet and released once the equipment is in the buyer's hands. Free to download, free to sell.
Why gym gear belongs on Toka
- 1
Gym gear doesn't post
A power rack, a set of plates or a treadmill isn't going in a satchel. The shipping-first platforms structurally can't handle it, which is why gym equipment is one of the best things to buy and sell locally, in person.

The agent fields the spec questions
Racks come with a hundred questions: hole spacing, plate compatibility, weight rating, upright height. On Toka the agent answers buyers from the listing detail, so sellers don't spend a week playing customer support.

One price, no gym-bro haggling
Secondhand gym gear has the worst lowball culture going. On Toka the seller sets a payout and receives exactly that, the buyer sees one all-in price, and the lowball DMs never reach you.

High-value deals, protected
Good gear holds serious value, which is exactly where cash deals and bank transfers to strangers go wrong. On Toka chat and payment stay in the app and money only moves once the gear is in your hands. The buyer pays a small fee for Toka buyer protection.
Selling a home gym? Two minutes.
Everyone knows the story: the rack went up in lockdown, the plates got dusty, and now it's the world's most expensive clothes horse. On Toka you photograph it, the agent writes the listing and suggests a payout, and the “will you take fifty for it” crowd never reaches your inbox. You set the number, you get the number, and the buyer collects.
Buying? Your money moves last.
Quality steel doesn't wear out, so buying secondhand is the smartest way to build a home gym. The risk was always the deal itself: transferring money to a stranger and hoping for the best. On Toka your payment is secured when you commit and released only when you confirm handover, so nothing is charged until the gear is in your hands. Not as described? Don't confirm. You haven't paid.
