Our Range of Barbell Weights

We stock a wide selection of weight plates in various sizes, weights and colour options. Our collection includes everything from standard weight plates from our bumper range to Olympic weight plates.

Explore the different types of weights in our collection, from fractional plates to rubber bumper plates, cast-iron plates and more. 

Calibrated Plates

Calibrated plates are key pieces of weightlifting equipment because they're engineered for weight accuracy. The overall mass of our calibrated barbell plates falls within a 10-gram or 0.25% range of the stated weight (whichever is lighter). With weights from 0.25 kg to 25 kg, these fractional plates are perfect for both beginners and professional athletes.

Rubber Plates

These robust rubber plates are designed to be dropped during or after your set without damaging the floor or plate. Their rubbing coating not only ensures their longevity but also decreases clacking noise.

Our rubber plates range from 1.25 kg to 25 kg, and are compatible with standard two-inch Olympic barbells. They are available as rubber bumper plates or tri-grip plates, which make loading and unloading your barbell easier.

Cast Iron Plates

There's nothing like the old-school feel of cast-iron plates. Available in weights ranging from 1.25 kg to 20 kg, they feature precision-cast metal construction for added durability.

Iron plates are best suited for powerlifting because lifters don't need to drop the barbell. Look out for our iron weight plates with tri-grip handles, ideal for conditioning exercises like weighted sit-ups and front shoulder raises.

Rubber Bumper Plates

Bumper plates feature a robust steel core encased in a durable rubber coating that softens impact when dropped, perfect for heavy-duty performance. Failing a rep? Feel free to drop our rubber bumper plates without cracking their steel core or damaging your floors.

While black rubber bumper plates complement most commercial gym and home training layouts, our selection is also sold in different colours. In some sets, each colour represents a weight between 5 kg and 25 kg. These weight sets are suitable for Olympic-style weightlifting and make a great addition to your CrossFit equipment.

Change Plates

Our selection of change weights, which includes fractional plate sets, allows you to safely challenge yourself and push for a new personal best. These durable Olympic plates are designed to pair with standard 2-inch Olympic bars. Available in weights ranging from 0.5 kg to 2.5 kg, the plates are distinguished by different colours for small weight increments.

Weight Plate Bundles

Discover several package deals to enhance your workout zone. Our weight-only sets offer a selection of plates in various weights and sizes. Our weight plate and barbell sets are available in weights ranging from 70 kg to 305 kg.

We also offer a versatile home gym kit that can set up your gym in a single purchase. Our home gym packages typically include:

  • A power rack

  • One pull-up bar

  • A safety bar 

  • J-cups

  • Bumper plates

  • A barbell

FAQs About Our Barbell Plates

Can weight plates fit different workout regimes?

Gym weight plates offer versatility, enhancing your performance during any training session. 

  • Use a plate on its own in movements like overhead lifts and lateral raises. 

  • Pair these weights with other strength-training equipment, such as barbells and racks, to truly elevate your strength-training workouts.

  • Attaching weight discs to your body also adds resistance when using a pull-up or dip bar, increasing the difficulty of your set.

  • Weight plates are a great choice for pairing with your gym's plate-loaded machines.

What should I consider when selecting weight plates?

These are some key factors to consider when you buy weight plates:

  • Durability: Are your weights intended for personal use at home or in a commercial gym? Commercial weight plates are used daily, meaning they need to be robust.

  • Exercise style: Want to use your plates for barbell-free exercises? Invest in a tri-grip plate set as they are easier to hold.

  • Cost: Have a limited budget? You may need to find a cheap weight plate set that fits your budget without compromising on quality or longevity.

How do I maintain gym weight plates?

Follow these simple care steps to extend the lifespan of your home gym weight plates for better lifts, long-term:

  1. Wipe after use with a quick-dry cloth to prevent rust and wear caused by sweat and gym chalk

  2. Deep-clean occasionally with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly for lasting performance.

  3. Store properly, keeping plates off damp floors and organised on racks to prevent exposure to moisture.

  4. Check for damage, such as cracks, loose inserts or corrosion, to keep lifts safe and smooth.
