Will not magnetically stick properly to surfaces coated with rubber, urethane, neoprene, vinyl.
Ideal for saving money & space. Our product allows for the same benefit of owning a full rack of steel dumbbells for half the price.
Do NOT use on 5lb dumbbells or smaller. Intended for use with 10 lb dumbbells and higher. It is important to make sure your dumbbells are large enough to fit the 3″x3″ magnetic surface area.

Perfect for use with Powerblock Pro and straight bar
I hesitated to buy these at first because of the high price point, but I could not be happier with the product and the value. Absolutely worth the price. âFeelsâ like a very high quality product, too.I use them with a Powerblock Pro set and they work so perfectly itâs like theyâre made for it specifically. Allows you to get those 12.5 lb / 22.5 / 32.5 / etc increments that the set canât do. Simple to add / remove. So quick that it doesnât disrupt the workout at all. Just the right amount of magnetism that theyâre easy to remove, but you donât worry about them falling off, either.And they work great with the Powerblock straight bar if you have that, too. Just add them right to the flat part of the handles where the weight chart is displayed. And again, this allows you to fill the holes of 45 lb / 65 / 85 that the bar canât do on its own.Perfection!

For in-between weights
Perfect accessory for dumbbell workouts when you are between weight increments. These plates are magnetic and attach directly to metal surfaces to increase the weight for your workout.

Handy
Work great for microloading the bar. I know fractional plates do the same thing but these just pop on the end of the bar without having to remove clips/clamps

for Cast Iron weights, more possibilities equal more gains
These plates are not for any rubber coated weights, but if you have cast iron metal dumbbells these stick on beautifully and the magnets are very strong. They come off with a small tug. But they don’t fall off which is so important. I have used these plates to progress through my lifting and have gotten results that just wouldn’t be possible without them! They are worth the investment because you can reuse them and customize your workouts over and over.

Make sure you buy two sets
These work great and do attach well to my neoprene weights, although I can understand that the manufacturer wouldnât want to guarantee it.They are quite strong on iron dumbbells and donât get in the way.Just make sure you buy two sets for a total of four so you can get the 2.5 increment on each dumbbell you hold. Unlike me who didnât do the math right and realized to late that one on each 15lb dumbbell didnât actually make 17.5 lbs. Had I done the math right I would have probably purchased something else that gave me what I needed in a lesser expensive purchase. That being said, Iâve moved to adjustable dumbbells that do adjust in 2.5 lb increments, and I can see these 1.25lb plates still be useful on those.

Perfect for the in-between weights.
These magnets are great. They are on the pricey side for what they are, if you take them at face value. However, the magnets are strong, the weight is accurate, and the rubber coating shows no sign of wear after a couple months of use.These are perfect for the in-between weights, for movements that use lighter dumbbells⦠where moving up from 10-15lbs is a 50% increase. With 2 sets of these magnets, weâve added 7.5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5, etc. to our weight rack without any increase in space needed. This is where the somewhat high cost is forgotten.The magnets do stick to *some* rubber coated dumbbells (they donât claim to be able to), they stick to the bottom of our kettlebells, they easily stick to the face of Olympic plates, and they stick nicely to the ends of my adjustable dumbbell set (Nuobell 5-80lb adjustable dumbbells).

Great product, but not as magnetically strong as their big brothers
I really like the PlateMates and I’ve owned 2 pair of larger donut shaped ones for years. It’s great to be able to add just 1 to 2 lbs for certain exercises rather than trying to go up to the next weight which is usually 5 lbs more. I thought these Hex shaped ones would work better with some of my dumbbells and they fit better, but they don’t attach quite as securely. I don’t think it will be a problem for most exercises, but there are some quick P90X routines I do where I’d be worried about it slipping off. I’d have given these 5 stars if the magnets were stronger.

Very useful for making small weight increments on Olympic weights plates
Jessica madden –
I love them, they make it so much easier to progressive overload with dumbbells and weight stacks. I highly recommend.

I’ve added a number of sets of these, and they’ve been a great investment for incrementally loading my dumbbells. Over time it will save me some money for the home gym.

Sticks on great to both dumbbells and barbell plates but also use for cable pully stacks (I use with the coated Powerblocks and sticks strongly to them without falling off). Fantastic way to add microweights to devices and or quick adjustments between exercises without rests. Only wish the hole would fit Olympic bars – but sticks on the Olympic plates without issue. Essential part of my home gym and would buy agains.
Terri Maynard –
Strong magnet and great option to buying more DBâs. But expensive. Perhaps because of the pandemic? Regardless, I needed them and would recommend quality of product.
