Why it matters

The Gorila Standard

When you are about to break a PR, every pound matters. Gorila Change Plates let you load in 1LB, 2.5LB, and 5LB steps, so your progression never stalls between fixed plate jumps.

Each plate matches IWF standard colors with a 50.4 mm collar opening for a firm, secure hold on any standard Olympic barbell. The solid rubber coating over a metal core protects your barbell sleeves, keeps noise down, and extends the life of the plate itself. Weight tolerance is held to +/- 10 g, so what you load is what you lift.

Add a single pair to your cart or choose the set for one pair of each weight.

Excellent Change Plates.

"Excellent change plates. | Build & Quality: Feel solid & well made. Rubber coating feels well done. Lettering on 1 side only; the other side is smooth. Even with short term use I can confirm they do not scratch bar sliding on / off (another company’s change plates did). | Performance: Slide on bar smoothly even with rubber coated metal center. | Durability: Have not been using long enough to comment on long term durability of rubber center. | Pros: Accurate weights (not all weights are). Slide on / off bar smoothly. Gorila Fitness is a Canadian Company. | Cons: Lettering & weight indicator on 1 side only (does not impact performance). | Recommendation: Excellent change plates. Recommend."

Great addition to the gym bag

"I go to a ole regular gym which doesn't have change plates and the amenities of a strength and condition training center. So when training the Olympic lifts and I want to eake out those small PRs, these have change plates have come in handy. The feel, construction and how well they stay on the bar is fantastic."

Simple and Effective

"Purchased a pair of change plates on sale for 13 dollars. Just like the other competition bumpers, I have a feeling these plates are still going to be functional a hundred years from now, so I’m happy I’ve added them to mu Gorila arsenal."

Très bien mais ...

"Assez cher mais très bien pour mes besoins. Covid fait en sorte que les entreprises ''boosts'' leurs prix en fonction de la demande. C'est comprenable ! Ceci dit, comme excellente cliente, un programme de fidélisation de la clientèle serait adéquat. Aucun code de rabais ou autre proposé vs la compétition qui se montre beaucoup plus opportuniste!"
