Given to me by my brother in law when he was moving, they must be over 30 years old, probably an Argos purchase (for any UK readers). Pretty sure they don’t count as vintage weights! But still useful for smaller movements like lateral raises or for less strong friends who come to train.

Have owned these since I put together my first garage gym in 2020. The weight tolerance is a little off, my 20kg plates were all 20.2kg for instance. They’ve also shown more wear and tear damage, and from the humidity also, than my Rogue cast iron plates. But they still do a good job.

Bought this when I setup my first garage gym in 2020. No issues with its performance at all, holds plenty of plates. I guess takes up a little more space than some weight storage.

A good choice for Europeans, given Rogue’s centre in Belgium. As with all iron plates…I’m not the owner, just the current steward. I’m more of a weight is weight guy. They’re not necessarily super pretty to look at but they do the job perfectly well.

Early days with this but it’s been exactly what I was looking for so far. Small footprint, very affordable price for a quality exercise bike. Compatible with Zwift etc, and the front wheel even lights up in bright colours according to your RPM, what more could you want? Knocked a star off the build quality due to needing to assemble it slightly differently to the instructions provided and because I think the seat is set a little too far back, even when moved to the furthest forward position.

Decent quality bands, have had them for 5 years now. Good alternative to the much talked about EliteFTS bands that (last time I checked) aren’t available in Europe. Lower resistance bands ideal for the classic face pull aparts!

My current collars I use, and they do a great job. Especially after first purchasing they could be quite stiff to lock but not an issue really, and quickly became easier to lock.

It does the job for a belt squat belt, but for me (as a slimmer guy) I still found it pretty large. Haven’t used it in a while but this has more to do with my frustrations with the belt squat setup I have off the side of my rack than it does with the belt.
