Right now, dumbells are harder to get than hand sanitizer and no one feels bad about gouging.
I did manage to get some workout bands, which I will work into an upper body routine on between.
But bottom line, between these and the fact that NYSC's plan was to keep charging people until a vaccine was introduced, I will not be setting foot back into one of their locations.

I was able to snag a set on Amazon for $35 of 3, 5, and 8 pounds. But it took me a few weeks to find them. I mistakenly walked into our local sporting goods store a few weeks ago looking for a set of 10 pound dumbbells and the place was totally cleared out. When I talked to the guy at checkout, he said that people line up on Wednesdays and Fridays in the hope some came in the shipments. They're gone within 20 minutes of the store opening.
The line for guns was pretty long at the sporting goods store. I get that people are scared and want to protect themselves. But with this thing, I think the dumbbells are more effective against the virus than firearms.
In about a year, the secondary market for exercise equipment will be hopping.
