Solid affordable log that a lot of home gym strongmen will pickup. It being rackable is more of a pain than a feature, but with how expensive other brands are and how long it can take to find a good used log, this is a good starting point.

Take coaster safety to another level. Do some DIY and add it to your drink spotter.

I get the crossfit gym use of these, but I find loading and unloading on these to be a pain. If you have a big space or need to transport weight for your workout I can see use for this. Keep in mind that if you load this up heavy, the wheels do like to roll on horse stall mats. Roll best on smooth concrete.

A fancy PVC pipe. The price isn't crazy if one person wanted it, but to outfit a gym would be pricy. There are knurl markings which is unique. You could make those marks yourself with a DIY (which I recommend if you want this).

Very expensive per lb plates ( KG i mean). Unless you are competing in this sport, I see no reason to pay this much for this little weight. That IWF engraving is very expensive I guess. In all seriousness, these feel like fine plates, but no different than rubber coated that aren't IWF certified. The grip function is convenient and cool, but does make putting them on and off a chore. Again, unless this is your sport, I don’t think you will get much benefit from these.

I am a fan of the 2.0 design. The spokes and the extra lettering looks great. These are everything you want in a calibrated plate: accurate weight, thin so you can fit more weight on the bar, and have a sticker on them that makes them approved by whoever that matters for. Although these are very nice plates, the paint does chip over time. I don’t expect them not to, but I could see someone thinking that with how high of a price tag that is on them. You aren't paying that high for that feature. Same goes for moving them around the gym. The lip to grab is very small. Expect it to be challenging at first and needing to build up a tolerance to it over time. I am glad to have mine, but I don’t see much need for them in a gym that isn’t competing in power lifting. Even then, I think you will get as good training on normal, but still nice plates.
