Barbells & Weight Plates

Olympic Barbells – Training Barbells and Weight Plates for Home and Gym

Barbells and weight plates are versatile pieces of equipment that can be used together or individually to help build muscle and increase fitness.

With a range of colour, fractional and fixed weight plates to choose from, NC Fitness has what you need for your gym and home gym.

When shopping around for new weights don’t forget about weight plate storage and barbell storage. These are a great way to keep your gear off the ground and stored away safely.

Standard or Olympic?

Weight plates come in two basic sizes – standard weight and Olympic-style (including bumper) They’re both useful for different types of exercises.

Olympic weight plates are usually prefered by people lifting heavier weights. The barbells used are stronger, have rotating shafts, and in most cases cost more than a regular barbell. NC Fitness Olympic weight plates are a rubber-coated plate with Ezi grip holes, and have a 51mm centre hole diameter so they will fit nearly all Olympic barbells.

Olympic weight plates are designed to be repeatedly dropped onto a lifting platform. These are great for people who are performing Crossfit exercises. As they are made from solid rubber, they do cost a little bit more.

Change plates or fractional plates are mini Olympic weight plates. They are made in smaller fraction sizes ranging from 0.25kg to 5kg.
