Weight plate FAQs
Which weight plates are best for a home gym?
For most home gyms, rubber-coated plates are the best all-rounder: they are quieter, kinder to floors and less likely to chip than bare cast iron. Choose cast iron plates if budget comes first, and bumper plates if you will drop the bar from overhead or do Olympic lifts.
What is the difference between Olympic and standard weight plates?
Olympic plates have a 50mm (2-inch) centre hole and fit Olympic barbells. Standard plates have a smaller hole for standard bars and dumbbell handles. All Flexi Muscles barbell plates are Olympic size.
Are the plates sold individually or in pairs?
Individually. Order two of each weight to load both sides of the bar evenly.
Do you deliver weight plates across South Africa?
Yes. We deliver nationwide in 2–5 business days, free on orders over R950, and also ship to other African countries with costs calculated at checkout.
Can I return weight plates?
Unused plates in their original condition can be returned within 14 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full process.
