Things to Think About When Buying Weights
- Space considerations: Make sure you’ve measured where you’re planning to set up your weights, and consider what kind of storage or racks you’ll need.
- Type of plates: Do you want Olympic (2-inch hole) plates, standard ones, bumper plates, or a lighter set? What kind of barbell do you already have (or plan to buy)?
- Delivery and assembly: For heavy plates and racks, having them delivered and assembled can save a lot of hassle. Stores like Johnson Fitness help with that.
- Budget: New equipment from local retailers will cost more but often comes with warranties. Used gear from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist can be much cheaper, but inspect carefully.
