Looking for individual fitness weights or professional barbells to train your muscles? At Best Buy Fitness, you'll find a wide range of weights in various weight classes and bars.

Why Train with Free Weights?
Exercising with free fitness weights is the ideal solution for people who don't have enough space at home for a home gym. Fitness weights take up little space, and you can do a huge variety of exercises with them. With free weights, you can train almost every muscle group. For example, to train your leg muscles, you can place a weight in the hollow of your knee, and you can make abdominal exercises harder by holding a weight during sit-ups. During a free weight workout, you can decide how you move the weights yourself. By training this way, you also train your coordination, which helps with the movements you make in daily life. Finally, with free weights, it's even possible to train the smallest muscle groups in your body, because you can decide where you hold or place the weight on your body. In short, with fitness weights, you can easily complete a good fitness routine and increase your muscle mass.
Why Train with a Barbell?
Training with a barbell offers numerous benefits that contribute to effective strength training. Firstly, using a barbell allows you to lift heavy weights, which is essential for building muscle mass and strength. The barbell also provides the opportunity to train different muscle groups simultaneously, such as with squats and deadlifts, which increases the efficiency of your workout. Furthermore, training with a barbell promotes the development of stability and coordination, as your body has to work harder to maintain balance during exercises. In short, using a barbell is a versatile and effective way to improve your strength and overall fitness.
What Types of Fitness Weights Are There?
If you've never worked with fitness weights before, it can be intimidating to start. The most common fitness weights are dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, and weight plates. Not sure what suits you best? We'll explain the types of fitness weights here to help you make a choice.
Dumbbells
Most people immediately think of dumbbells when it comes to fitness weights. These are free weights that can be easily held in the hand and are ideal for all kinds of exercises, from bicep curls to shoulder press and shoulder lunges. For a complete set of dumbbells, we have the Dumbbell Set with Tower from Athletic Performance, which contains weights from 1 to 10 kilos. With these weights, you can start light with a 1-kilo weight and then build up your training to the heavier weights. Thanks to the different weights of the dumbbells in this tower, you can also choose different fitness weights depending on your workout.
Barbells
Barbells are the long metal bars used for weightlifting and other strength exercises, among other things. Extra weight can easily be added to these bars, quickly making training more challenging. The bar can be either straight or curved. Straight bars like the Athletic Performance Straight Barbell are better for traditional weightlifting. Curved bars are better for bicep curls, among other exercises, for which you might prefer to purchase the Athletic Performance EZ Barbell.
Kettlebells
Another popular form of fitness weights are kettlebells. These are free weights that have the shape of a ball with a handle. This makes them very suitable for explosive movements, such as kettlebell swings and kettlebell thrusters. The Athletic Performance Kettlebells come in different colours and sizes, ranging from 6 kilos up to 32 kilos. This allows you to choose the weight that suits your needs.
Weight Plates
Weight plates are weight discs that can be used by holding them or combining them with a barbell. Our weight plates are the Athletic Performance Olympic Weight Plates and the Athletic Performance Black Bumper Plates. These are Olympic weight plates, meaning the inner diameter of the plates is 50mm. This allows them to be combined with an Olympic barbell to perform more exercises, such as bench presses and weighted squats. The plates can also be used individually to add more challenge to exercises, such as plate chest press or making push-ups harder by placing a plate on your back.
The Range of Barbells from Athletic Performance
The 220 cm Olympic Competition Bar is a high-quality barbell specifically designed for competitive lifters, weighing 20 kg and offering optimal grip for heavy lifts such as squats and deadlifts. The Athletic Performance Olympic Short Bar is more compact, with a length of 150 cm, making it ideal for use in smaller spaces or for specific exercises where a shorter bar offers advantages. For versatile training, the Athletic Performance Olympic EZ Bar is perfect; this bar has a curved design that relieves stress on the wrists and provides a comfortable grip during bicep and tricep exercises. Finally, the Athletic Performance Olympic Hex Bar offers a unique shape that makes it easier to perform deadlifts with a neutral grip, reducing strain on the lower back and focusing on the leg muscles. Together, these barbells offer a wide range of possibilities for strength training.
