- 35lb Studio Barbell Weight Set – Adjustable Home Gym Kit with Standard Rubber Urethane Plates, 5' Chrome Bar (1.18" diam) & Collars | Extra Plates Not Included

This set is a little different than the one I was used to as the bar is a little longer and some of the weights are a smidge heavier but have had no trouble adjusting when using for BodyPump. The quality is quite good, the quick release collars work great and I like the fact that the weights are easy to grip when being used off the bar and since the plates aren't completely round, the barbell doesn't roll away when you put it down. Shipping was faster than anticipated, everything arrived in good order and the price was reasonable given the quality. As noted by others, the bar was a little greasy when it arrived, but wiping that off was easy, All good so I highly recommend this set!

I am a woman who participates in Barbell Training classes at my LifeTime Fitness via a streaming video service (meaning they are live classes but you can access them online in your home, which I do). These are classes that last for an hour and work all the muscle groups but usually women are only putting about 5 - 15/20 lbs of weight on each side of the bar (men would use more weight). These are very nicely made for that use - I used them for the first time yesterday and was very impressed with the quality. The handles ("holes/cutouts") on the plates also allow you to use the weights without the bar if you choose. I purchased the quick release clamp collars as well, but it really seems like the spring clamps would work fine (though I used the collars). Changing out plates went fast and smoothly. The plates themselves are coated (nice look and feel), and also have flattened edges so the barbell does not roll.

Absolutely in love with this set and like a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, it’s perfect for body pump if you have a subscription! The bar is super sturdy and the plates are easy to grasp when using them as free weights.

I bought this barbell set so that I can do BodyPump classes from home during the Coronavirus lock down. (In case other shoppers are unaware: Les Mills offer their classes virtually via an excellent "OnDemand" service.) After waiting a couple of weeks for a reasonably-priced set to come back in stock, I jumped on this item, and it was delivered by FedEx in just five days. I have to say, I am completely blown away by the quality of this set! Given this is a fraction of the cost of the comparable Les Mills equipment, I was expecting it to feel a bit cheap. But everything is of a very high quality. The weights are rubberized (which make them easier to handle during the BodyPump tracks where you need free weights), the bar feels solid (I don't think it will bend over time), and the clips are nice and tight and don't shift around at all. It's actually better than some of the equipment I've used in professional gym facilities. I'm very happy with my purchase! I saw in the Q&A that the supplier is considering making additional weights available for purchase. I do hope that happens. I could probably do with some additional 5KG plates in time.

Solid quality and perfect for light training. Easy to use, and the weight is just right for basic routines. Swapping plates takes a bit of time, but overall a great set.

These are a fantastic set for the price. The quality is equivalent to what I had used at the gym for body pump classes. The weights are easy to add to the bar, the clips work great, and the bar is solid! The shape of the weights minimize rolling on the floor between sets. I am now streaming classes on demand to meet my own schedule and have no regrets. Will be adding more weights to the set in the future! Best value I’ve found so far on home gym equipment

I purchased this barbell set so I could do Body Pump classes during the corona virus massive shutdown of every health club. I was amazed at the low price and didn't expect much. When it arrived in a few days I was very pleased with the quality of the bar as well as the weights. The collars were not in the box, so, I contacted the seller and received a reply within a few hours which offered a sincere apology and a promise to expedite the collars. They were at my door in 24 hours. So, great product, great price, great service. You just cannot ask for more!

I don’t usually write reviews but I want to share that I’ve been doing Les Mills body pump for over 20 years and even bought the app during Covid. These weights are perfect for the class. I didn’t buy the Les Mills set because I already have a step bench. I do want to point out that the diameter of the bar is larger than my other bars so the clips provided are necessary. I also bought the clips that snap into place and they’re easy to use. Both sets work equally well with the equipment.
