If you’re ready to set up a home or commercial gym, browse our stock of robust barbells for sale. Here’s what you can expect from our selection.
Women's Barbells
At Factory Weights, we stock barbells specifically crafted for women and beginners.
Our women's barbells weigh 15kg rather than the standard 20kg, meaning you won't be struggling under the weight of the bar itself when starting out.
This helps increase your safety, prevent injuries to your arms and wrists, and allows you to focus on lifting with good form. If you're a female athlete who'd like to train with the same bar you'll be using in official International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) competitions, these bars are for you.
Olympic Barbells
Olympic power bars are often more durable and robust than a standard barbell or bar. They can support heavier loads, which is why they are more commonly used in commercial gyms and competitions.
We stock 5ft bars, 6ft bars and 7ft Olympic bars. Longer bars are ideal for more experienced lifters who want to add extra plates to increase their load.
Speciality Bars
Along with our straight barbells, we stock the following specialised bars to help you target smaller muscle groups during weight lifting sessions.
Barbell Accessories
We stock several types of barbell collars to secure your weight plates and prevent them from slipping off the end of your bar. Our range includes spring collars, quick-lock collars and magnetic collars.
We also stock barbell pads to reduce the pressure on your neck, shoulders and hips during weight training. These pads allow you to lift heavier, protect your skin from bruising, and increase your overall comfort during a strength training workout.
Barbell Storage
Storing your bars properly with racks or a high-quality barbell holder will keep your gym space organised and your equipment in good nick. We stock a range of compact and sturdy barbell storage solutions.
Barbell storage stands and barbell cross storage bases make use of vertical space, saving you valuable floor space for your workout. A barbell rack will help prevent injury by keeping any equipment that could be a tripping hazard safely tucked away.

FAQs
What kind of exercises can I do with a barbell?
Barbells are extremely versatile and can function as powerlifting equipment, CrossFit equipment, and functional fitness equipment. Many people choose to pair their barbell with weights to create a multi-functional barbell set. These sets are great for targeting a specific muscle group or performing full-body movements.
Some particularly popular barbell set exercises include:
-
Squats: Squats increase the strength of your quads, hamstrings, glutes and core.
-
Bench presses: This exercise works your chest, shoulders and triceps.
-
Deadlifts: Deadlifts engage your legs, core, and back muscles.
-
Curls and reverse curls: These train your biceps and forearms.
What should I consider when buying barbells?
When purchasing barbells or other types of weight lifting bars, it's essential to think about your workout styles and fitness goals.
For example, if you want to focus on CrossFit exercises, cross-training barbell sets are a suitable choice. If you're an experienced powerlifter, consider a 7ft power barbell that has a higher maximum weight capacity and space to add more barbell weights.
