Free weights

Free weights cover Olympic barbells, EZ bars, technique bars, hex bars, farmer's walk handles, dumbbells and plates — core equipment that a large share of every training programme runs on. The same bar and dumbbells serve a beginner and an experienced lifter alike, without needing separate machines. In a commercial gym, hotel gym or residential fitness room, the quantity and range of free weights decides how many people can train at once without queuing.

Space needs grow fast once you stock plenty of bars and plates. Among the catalogue's 19 products, real dimensions to plan storage around include the Farmer's Walk handle pair (153 × 24 × 96 cm) and the multi-grip Olympic bar (210 × 40 cm) — the latter needs a rack of matching length. Beyond storage, plan clear floor space for lifting and carrying, plus enough clearance between racks and benches — a narrow aisle turns into a bottleneck at peak hours.
