Standard Barbells – Reliable, Compact & Home Gym Ready

Start building strength with standard barbells designed for everyday lifting and versatile workouts. These 29mm barbells are perfect for home gyms, personal training studios, or anyone getting started with resistance training.

Lighter, shorter and more compact than Olympic bars, they offer a practical way to train without the need for heavy-duty setups. Explore more in our full weight plates and barbells collection — everything you need to train smart, at home or on the go.

Standard Barbells Designed to Perform

Standard weight bars feature a 29mm shaft diameter and are compatible with all standard 29mm weight plates. Their smaller profile makes them easier to handle, store and load — perfect for progressive strength training, body recomposition, and general fitness goals.

We stock:

• Straight barbells for compound lifts

• Deluxe pump bars for group fitness and circuit work

• Knurled grips for a secure hold during high-rep sets

Need plates to pair? Check out our standard plate range for cast iron and rubber-coated options, or level up with bumper plates if you plan to mix in Olympic-style lifts.

Great for Beginners, PTs & Compact Spaces

These home gym barbells are a smart choice for:

• Beginner lifters – Easy to control, lighter starting weight

• Personal trainers – Useful for client progression and circuit setups

• Light commercial environments – Ideal for group classes, rehab, and toning programs
