Weight Storage

Now that you've stocked your workout room with the dumbbells, weight plates and kettlebells you need to tone and strengthen your body, keep them all organized with a specialized weight rack. Keeping your weights in one convenient location near your fitness mat puts them within easy reach while you're making gains at the bench, and helps make storage a little easier when it's time to hit the showers. Some weight racks are made just for smaller dumbbells, while others are built to hold large Olympic bars and weight plates. In selecting your dumbbell rack, keep an eye out for the weight capacity as well as the number of slots and compatibility to ensure it can handle your equipment.

Larger facilities that serve fitness professionals and the public will need weight racks, dumbbell racks and plate racks that won't buckle under pressure. Racks made with tough metal frames and powder-coat finishes help ensure they'll last. Great for fitness classes, dumbbell racks with wheels allow you to easily maneuver your weights between rooms. Back at the benches, power towers and cages, you can keep Olympic bars, curl bars, tricep bars and trap bars organized with a durable bar holder, and store the weight plates needed for each set nearby with a plate rack. Keeping the bars and plates stored separately will maximize the space in your gym, and help your patrons find what they need quickly and easily while they work out. If you have a large quantity of dumbbells, look to tiered dumbbell racks with multiple shelves. The shelves are often grooved to help keep each dumbbell neatly aligned and tilted for easy access.
