Strength Training & Weights

Whether you are building a basement gym or adding resistance to a living-room routine, this range covers hex and adjustable dumbbells, Olympic bumper plates, resistance bands, weighted vests, pull-up bars, benches and grip trainers. CAP, Yes4All and RitFit handle most free-weight needs, and THERABAND makes colour-graded bands.

Start with the space you have. Rubber-coated hex dumbbells are kinder to floors and do not roll, while an adjustable pair can stand in for a full rack when room is tight. If you buy plates, match the hole to your bar: 2-inch Olympic plates do not fit a 1-inch standard bar. Bands are graded by colour or resistance range, so a set with several levels lets you progress without buying new gear. Narrow it down with adjustable dumbbells or resistance bands.

Brands include CAP, Yes4All and Sportneer.

In this range: resistance bands, dumbbells, wrist & ankle weights, weighted vests and hand grip strengtheners.

Strength Training & Weights: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Olympic and standard weight plates?

Olympic plates have a 2-inch (about 5 cm) centre hole and fit Olympic bars, the most common of which weighs 20 kg (45 lb). Standard plates have a 1-inch hole for lighter bars and dumbbell handles. The two systems are not interchangeable, so check your bar before ordering.

Should I buy adjustable dumbbells or a set of fixed ones?

Adjustable dumbbells save floor space and cover many weights with one pair, which suits apartments and small rooms. Fixed hex dumbbells are quicker to swap between sets and handle drops better. Many home gyms start with an adjustable pair and add a few fixed weights later.

How do I make latex resistance bands last?

Store them away from direct sunlight and heat, which dry out latex. Check for nicks or thinning before each session, and use a door anchor instead of looping bands around rough edges. Wipe them with a damp cloth rather than harsh cleaners.
