X Training Equipment Premium Color Bumper Plate Solid Rubber with Steel Insert - Great for Crosstraining Workouts

I purchased a pair of 45lb bumper plates (red) last week and they arrived the other day. Overall, I am very impressed with the design and quality of the plates. I am aware there are several other brands of Olympic bumper plates in the marketplace that are significantly more expensive and of perhaps of a higher caliber for professional athletes. Regardless, these plates do the job for me , are reasonably priced, and would be suitable for use in any environment---professional, commercial, or otherwise. The only negative point worth mentioning is that the X Training plates I’ve ordered sometimes arrive at my doorstep freshly painted. The paint smell can be a little oververwhelming in an enclosed area, but my home gym is located in an open and well ventilated garage. If your training facility is indoors or located within your home and living space, you may want to consider letting the plates dry out outdoors for several days before bringing them inside. Not all of the plates I purchased were freshly painted, but some of them apparently were. Regardless, I am more than satisfied with my purchase of 300 pounds of bumper plates from X Training Equipment through Amazon. I like the color coded plates, and plan to make very good use of them in a variety of different exercises using my new Hex bar, 7ft Olympic bar, and the smith machine I recently purchased. I'm convinced these plates are the best buy for the money on the internet and would make a fine addition to any gym. Highly Recommend this product!

Simply perfect. After pricing against other bumper plates, I order the 45 lb red and the pink 35 lb and pair of 25's. They are of the highest quality and add a bit of color to my home gym. Seem to be very well made. No rubber smell. Slide easily onto olympic bar when loading and unloading. Love them.

Ditto above

These are great plates. Minimal bounce, vibrant colors. I have been using them daily for about 2 weeks, I have 45, 35, 15, and 10. They're a good price for a good product. They compete in quality with the more expensive Rogue product. Perfect for my home gym.

Very cool to have these on my bar. They work well, but the sleeves are a little large, and a bit loose on the bar

I was very excited for these bumpers as they are a great price, awesome colors and had great reviews. I got them and 3 of the 6 plates don't fit my bar, I was very upset and feeling let down. I emailed x training equipment not hoping for much because honestly the barbell is a hand-me-down and I have no idea where it came from. Rob contacted me right away and didn't for a second ask me about my barbell or assume anything about my set up, he simply said "we'd love to send you replacements but we don't know if those will fit your bar either, how about we just send you one of our barbells?" The barbell is on its way now free of charge and I've never been treated so well by a company. I can assure you that I will find much more to purchase from X training equipment, oh, and the bumpers are very nice!

I really like these weights. I use them on my concrete floor in my basement. These are better than the solid steel plates as they do not clank or damage my floor. The colored plates make it easy to easily identify weights.

Great plates for a garage gym. They are a lot more durable than the soft bumper plates I've purchased from sports authority. I have a 45 pound and a 35 pound pair and I drop them from overhead all the time onto my cement garage floor and they are no worse for the wear. Also, they do not bounce when they strike the floor, which is a pretty big deal when you're working out in confined spaces. Will definitely be buying more
