Best Weight Plate Sets of 2025

"I'm just an average guy looking to improve my strength and get my family involved. Commercial gyms are always crowded, no matter how good the equipment is. Adding these weights to my home gym has been a great decision. They feel solid and look durable, and they’re easy to put on the bar."

"I was pleasantly surprised to find that these plates are made entirely of rubber, rather than steel coated in rubber. They work well and look nice. I didn’t know much about bumper plates before, but I’m happy with my choice."

"I've had an excellent experience with these plates. They fit perfectly on my 2-inch Olympic barbell, and I’ve never had trouble removing them. They don’t bounce or make much noise when dropped, which is a plus. My only minor issue is the width; all plates are the same diameter, making it tricky to handle the smaller weights."

"As a newcomer to strength training, I found these weights to be the best value on the market. They distribute weight excellently, are easy to grip, and their circular design allows for easy manipulation. I love that there's no unpleasant smell and they haven't chipped at all in the few months I've had them!"

"I was looking for quality and cost-effective 45-pound plates, and these exceeded my expectations. They are smooth, nicely finished, and very easy to handle. At about half the price of other brands, I was initially skeptical, but I strongly recommend them!"

"I needed weights for my gym, particularly for clients just starting out. I purchased this set and they fit perfectly on my Olympic bars. They are sturdy and don't have any weird smells like some others do. A great choice for beginners!"

"Being older, I appreciate that these weights don't clink and look menacing on the Olympic bar. I'm really enjoying them!"

"When I first opened the box, there was a tiny weird smell, but it dissipated quickly in my warm sunroom. This bumper plate feels heavier than my 25 and lighter than my 45, which is perfect!"

"These plates are huge compared to my other ones! I'm impressed with the durability and how they reduce noise when dropped. They look amazing on the rack!"

"I purchased the 190lb set of economy cap bumper plates, and the price was unbelievably good for the quality. Unfortunately, two plates arrived damaged due to shipping issues, but CAP Barbell quickly sent me replacements at no extra cost. They did have a greasy layer and an unpleasant odor initially, but after wiping them down and letting them air out for a few days, they became perfect."

"I find these weights to be quite nice, although I did notice that they have a strong oily residue and a strange smell. I'm hoping that the odor fades over time, but overall, they are very nice weights."

"These plates do their job well, and when I weighed them, they were all within a pound of their marked weight. However, I was surprised by how stinky and greasy they were upon arrival. I learned that this is common due to the manufacturing process, and while I've managed to wash off a lot of the grease, the smell, reminiscent of industrial cigarette smoke, lingers. If I had known, I might have opted for stainless steel plates instead."

"I was on the hunt for a lovely family of plates for my home gym, and I ended up purchasing the 175lbs set. The quality is outstanding, and all the plates look impeccable. My favorites are the mommy and daddy 45lbs plates as they fit together perfectly! I even weighed them to confirm the accuracy and they are spot on. They fit flawlessly on a standard Olympic bar. I would absolutely buy again, but right now, I'm feeling a bit broke. Overall, these plates are worth every penny!"

"I found these plates to be a well-made set! They fit my bars and my major fitness sml07 home gym effortlessly. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase!"

"The weights arrived exactly as described and even showed up ahead of schedule. It was a pleasant surprise!"

"These weights are a perfect complement to my steel plates, and they work great with my Drone 2 from Major Fitness."

"I've found these weights to work really well with small and weightlifting barbells. It's been a smooth, hassle-free experience."

"While the weights were a great deal, they unfortunately have a serious odor. It’s akin to the smell of a tire showroom but even stronger. The scent was so intense that it woke me from a deep sleep on the first night! I had to put them outside. After a couple of weeks in the sun and some scrubbing, I managed to reduce the smell by about 80%. Although it was a hassle, I don’t regret buying them."

"I've found these plates to be excellent quality! They look even better than I anticipated and are easy to carry and rack. Initially, there was a bit of a rubber smell, but after washing them with my usual mixture of water, alcohol, and vinegar, the smell was mostly gone. I'm very pleased and even ordered more pairs!"

"I think these weights are a great deal. They arrived quickly and the built-in handle feature is fantastic for ease of use. Though they had some oil residue to clean off, the overall quality and design made it worthwhile."

"Despite washing them multiple times, the rubber smell still lingers a bit. However, I find the weights to be perfect for my workouts and the price was better than many other options out there."

"I just received these plates for my home gym, and they seem to be of good quality with a durable finish. I appreciate having smaller weight options for incremental lifts, even if the diameter differs slightly from my existing plates."

"After owning many Olympic plates, I find these to be my favorite. The comfortable grips make them easy to handle, and while they may not be as smooth as pricier brands, the value is unbeatable."

"I bought this set for my son and to get back into exercising. The rubber coating is thick and in great shape. I didn't find any faults, and I feel I got more than I paid for."

“I purchased the 260 lb set of low bounce rubber plates during the Black Friday sale at an amazing price. They were shipped in different groupings but arrived safely and undamaged. I was pleasantly surprised that the quality matched big name brands at a fraction of the price. Customer support was quick to resolve an issue with my order, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.”

“These plates are super durable and have no strong rubber smell like others I’ve used. They were well-packaged and shipped out right away. I’m definitely going to order more when I need them for my home or business.”

“I am extremely happy with this purchase for our garage gym. The project turned out great, and I would absolutely recommend these weights to others.”

"I really appreciate the quality and the various weight plate sizes for my gym exercises. The weight plates are durable and scratch resistant. I would definitely recommend this brand and product!"

"After using these weights heavily for 6 months, I’m pleased to say they are still in great condition. They are well-priced, and I’m quite satisfied with my purchase."

"As I build out my home gym, I tried these weights as an alternative to the Rogue Deep Dish weights. To my surprise, they are nicely made with a robust coating. I would recommend them to anyone in need of iron change plates; they even match my Rogue set!"
