Took a long time to find the right plates for my gym. I like their color grading for easy identification and their two handles (instead of 3 or 4). They are pretty thin, so if you need to load a machine with many plates, that comes in handy. The only downside is, that they cost a bit more than most other rubber plates.

The Voltra is the ultimate equipment piece for small spaces. I have a tiny gym and this is why I built it around the Voltra. With all the different mounts the only limit is your imagination. I use it pretty much in every workout to some capacity. Ever since owning a Voltra, using a normal weight stack without eccentric weight just feels weird. I just love working out with it. The biggest downside is the price, especially in Europe it costs way too much ($3000+). Then you have to buy (and often import) mounts to really use it.

I absolutely love my REP PR-5000 rack. The quality is outstanding, and the packing was superb as well. REP has a good ecosystem of attachments that you can add to your rack. And if REP doesn't have it, you can take any other 3x3 1" attachment.

Branded fractional plates that you can get from multiple companies. Payed a bit extra to go with the same brand as my normal weight plates. They fit well without problems on my bars. Due to the rubber, they are "quieter" when putting them on the bar, compared to metal/steel plates.

You can get these really cheap off Amazon. They likely cost half of what other brands charge and are enough to get some plates onto your rack. They can fit 5/8 and 1" holes and there are multiple versions for different rack sizes. My version came with sticker pads that you manually have to attach so that your rack won't get scratched. Once applied, they fit like a glove on my REP PR-5000 (one thick and one normal pad used per weight plate holder).

This may seem like a silly attachment, but I absolutely love it. I have handles and wheels on both sides of the Ironmaster Super Bench Pro V2. This means that in my really tiny basement gym I never need to think about which side I need to stand to move my bench. I simply can move it from both sides. Strongly recommended if you don't have much space.

The mount is available in different colors and features an integrated swivel. One of the highlights is that you can either use the integrated threaded bolt or a mag pin to attach it to your rack. When using the bolt, the attachment is really locked down, and it takes just seconds to fasten or unfasten it. As an international customer, this is also cheaper than Darko Lifting mounts due to lower shipping costs (especially if you use the B Stock version). The build quality is really great, even my B-Stock version looks and feels fantastic. Absolutely recommended!
