Weights and Barbells

Weight plates and barbell sets, dumbbells and kettlebells (also known as free weights) are often considered the most versatile workout tools available. Favoured by experienced bodybuilders and weightlifters, free weights offer an inexpensive route to strength training.

Using free weights such as weight plates and barbell sets, dumbbells or kettlebells incorporates the stabilising muscles that enable you to perform the exercise movement, making you more effective in producing overall muscular strength and power. Thanks to the lack of restriction that you would otherwise have with weight machines, you can perform a wider range of exercises that carry over to everyday life, whilst allowing your body to move throughout all three planes of motion.
