Our Selection of Weight Plates for a Commercial & Home Gym
We stock a wide array of weight plates, available in many different sizes, weights and colour options. Our range includes everything from standard bumper plates to Olympic weight plates.
Our plate collection is sure to set you on the right path to achieving all your fitness goals. These are the different types of weights you'll find in our selection:
Calibrated Plates
Calibrated plates are key items of weightlifting equipment since they're measured 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 ranging from 0.25kg to 25kg, these plates are perfect for beginners, professional athletes, and everyone in between.
Rubber Plates
Our durable rubber plates are designed to be dropped during or after your set without damaging the floor or breaking the plate. That's pretty impressive considering they range from 1.25kg to 25kg. Their rubbing coating not only ensures their longevity but also decreases noisiness.
Our rubber plates are compatible with standard two-inch Olympic barbells and are available as bumper plates or plates with tri-grip handles. Tri-grip plates make loading and unloading your barbell that much easier. You'll also find an array of colour options in our rubber plate range.
Cast Iron Plates
Our cast iron weights have a precision cast metal construction that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. There's truly nothing like the old-school feel of durable yet cheap cast iron weight plates.
Our metal weight plates are available in weights ranging from 1.25kg to 20kg. Because powerlifters don't need to drop the barbell, cast iron plates are best used as powerlifting equipment. Look out for our cast iron plates with tri-grip handles. These are great free weights to use for conditioning exercises like weighted sit-ups and front shoulder raises.
Bumper Plates
Bumper plates have a robust steel core encased in a durable rubber coating that helps to soften their impact when dropped. This means they're great for heavy-duty usage. If you're failing a rep, bumper plates can be dropped without the risk of cracking their steel core or damaging your floors. This safety feature makes them a great addition to your commercial gym equipment.
Our selection is available in different colours. In some sets, each colour represents a weight ranging from 5kg to 25kg. These weight plate sets suit Olympic-style weightlifting and also make for a great addition to your CrossFit equipment.
Change Plates
These robust and cheap plates are available in a variety of weights from 0.5kg to 2.5kg. In accordance with official IWF guidelines, different colours distinguish the small weight increments between plates. Our change weights allow you to safely challenge yourself and push for a new PB. Our Olympic weight plates are designed to pair with standard 2-inch Olympic bars.

FAQs
What are some benefits of weight plates?
When training with free weights, you're forced to keep yourself balanced by engaging more of your stabilising muscles, especially your core, and this contributes to your overall strength.
Not only do weight plates allow for a greater freedom of movement but you'll gain more flexibility in your weight training options. These weights are highly cost-effective as you can perform a wide spectrum of exercises without having to buy lots of different equipment. Weight discs also feature a compact design that saves you space.
How can weight plates complement different workout regimes?
As multi-functional equipment pieces, gym weight plates enhance any training session. You can use a plate on its own in movements like overhead lifts and lateral raises. To truly elevate your strength training workouts, you also have the option of pairing these weights with different strength equipment like barbells and racks. We offer several weight plate deals that include a combination of plates and barbells. Together, they are ideal for compound movements like the deadlift and squat.
Weight discs are also a convenient way to add resistance when using a pull-up or dip bar. You can increase the difficulty of your set by attaching weighted plates to your body. Our durable and cheap gym plates are a great choice to pair with your gym's plate-loaded machines.
