Weight Sets & Accessories

No matter whether you’re a commercial gym owner, a personal trainer, or just a fitness enthusiast with a home gym, weights remain the most effective way to build muscle, and are one of the wisest investments you can make in your fitness business or home studio.

Weight sets take many forms: a plate weight set with bar, plate weight sets without the bar, dumbbell and kettlebell sets, medicine balls and more. Then there are the accessories: the racks, collars, pads and sleds built to organise and extend the functionality of your weights.

Weight Sets & Accessories FAQs

What set of weights should I get?

For a basic strength training setup for home use, you could start with a standard weight set: a 28mm barbell with some cast weight plates to suit. For gym-level training an Olympic bar set is best – these feature rotating ends for a smoother lift, and bushes and bearings for added strength. Bumper plates take an Olympic bar to the next level – these are the strongest plates you can get, made to be thrown around and dropped from height, though there are variations to suit every budget.

Do weight sets come with a bar?

Already have a bar? We sell weights in packages to suit whichever bar you have. Need a bar? We sell packages including whichever bar you are after, from standard to Olympic. We’re also happy to tailor a package to suit your training style and budget.
