These are my recommendation for best overall plates for any gym! They look sick, are really well made and don’t warp when dropped and are not unessesarily wide like so many rubber bumper plates. I reach for them the most often. They are often on sale too.

Ok these just look plain cool in any gym. I use them for deadlifting alongside some Fray and Rep pinnacle crumb plates but NIKE did a great job using the recycled shoe rubber to make these. Super high bounce!

This is a solid and often affordable power bar! Looks cool, too. Comparable to the rep single black diamond, good all around bar. I prefer the REP bars but this is fun to use and my son prefers it. Fringe sport makes awesome stuff!

This is a good bar - I replaced all my rouge bars with the new rep bars, the sleeves are better, the bushings sound much better when dropped, makes a satisfying clunk noise. This one isn’t as aggressive as my double black diamond but has a lot more grip than the Colorado which both isn’t a true power bar and is too passive with knurl. The olive green ceracote is nice too!

Love having this in my gym, is great for grip strength and people love trying it out when they pop in my gym. One of my favorite grip trainers, they are rarely in stock!

This is agreat bar for kids, wives who don't want to lift super heavy or even for curls. I like having different weight bars in my gym and this is a no nonsense, if slightly too expensive, bar.

This is a work of art, not sure what else to say about it but it revolves, looks sick and is a joy to use. My favorite attachment by far.

I have a similar, generic Amazon machine that was listed as a Gymusclo but looks slightly different. I really liked this machine, enough to upgrade to the ATX linear row which costs 3x as much. This is a great budget piece, pretty simple and solid build. Has better range of motion than the Mikolo row and an adjustable foot plate.
