Buying individual plates

JORDAN Rubber Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates from £5.00; JORDAN Urethane Tri-Grip Olympic Plates from £7.00; JORDAN Black Rubber Bumper Weight Plates from £26.00; JORDAN Coloured Rubber Bumper Plates from £26.00. Buy singles to fill a gap in an existing set, or to add microloading pairs above a set’s top weight.

How much weight do you actually need?

  • Starting out, general strength: 100–150kg total is enough for years of pressing, rowing and squatting. A 150kg bumper set at £672 covers it in one purchase.
  • Squatting or deadlifting above 180kg: add a second pair of 25kg plates or move to a 200kg+ loadout — a 20kg bar plus 150kg of plates tops out at 170kg.
  • Olympic lifting (snatch, clean and jerk): bumper plates only. Tri-grip and cast plates are not built to be dropped from overhead and will crack a floor and themselves.
  • Competition training: calibrated plates. Every other plate type carries a manufacturing tolerance; calibrated plates do not.
  • Commercial floor: urethane. It costs more per kilo but survives daily loading and unloading without chipping.

Delivery

Free UK delivery on all orders of £250 or more — every complete plate set qualifies. Individual plates below £250 carry a flat £20 delivery charge, so it is usually worth ordering plates alongside a bar or bench. Dispatch within 5 working days, tracking emailed within 24 hours of dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs – Weight Plates

What types of weight plates do you sell?

We offer a wide range of weight plates including rubber bumper plates, urethane plates, Olympic tri-grip plates, iron plates, and coloured competition plates—ideal for home and commercial gym setups.

What is the difference between Olympic and standard weight plates?

Olympic weight plates have a 50mm centre hole and are designed for Olympic barbells. Standard plates typically have a 25mm hole and are compatible with smaller, home-use bars.

Are your weight plates suitable for commercial use?

Yes. We stock commercial-grade weight plates from trusted brands like Jordan Fitness, MYO Strength, and Attack Fitness, built to endure heavy use in gyms and fitness centres.

What weight ranges do your plates come in?

Our weight plates start from as light as 1.25kg and go up to 25kg or more, depending on the type. This makes them suitable for both beginners and advanced lifters.

What are bumper plates used for?

Bumper plates are made from dense rubber and are designed to be dropped safely during Olympic lifts. They protect both the floor and equipment, making them ideal for functional training and CrossFit.

Do your weight plates come in colour-coded sets?

Yes. We offer coloured rubber and urethane bumper plates, which are not only visually appealing but also allow for easy weight identification during fast-paced workouts.

Can I mix different types of plates on the same barbell?

Yes, as long as they have the same centre diameter (typically 50mm for Olympic bars), you can safely mix bumper, rubber, and metal plates. However, uniformity is recommended for balance.

Do you sell weight plate storage solutions?

Absolutely. We provide a range of weight plate trees, racks, and wall-mounted storage systems to help keep your gym space organised and safe.

What are the benefits of urethane vs rubber weight plates?

Urethane plates are more durable, resistant to wear, and maintain their look longer than rubber plates. They're ideal for commercial gyms due to their long-lasting performance and premium finish.

How can I choose the best weight plates for my gym?

Our team at Pro Gym Essentials can help you select the right weight plates based on your training goals, budget, and gym environment. Just get in touch for expert advice.
