CAP Barbell 150 LB Dumbbell Set with 2-Tier Rack, Rubber Hex Free Weights Set, Home Gym Weight Set with Horizontal Storage Rack for Strength Training

One of the best purchases I have ever made! I hate working out at the gym, so I created a home gym. These barbells are excellent quality! They smell strongly of rubber at first but the smell is completely gone now after two months. The rack is strong and sturdy and was very easy to put together. Plus, the price point was spot on! You can’t go wrong with these weights!

Great product! The rack if very sturdy and easy to assemble, the rubber smell is pretty strong at first but goes away

This set is a budget hero 💪—five pairs (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 lbs) neatly stored on a compact A-frame rack. It’s perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to lift but not buy a full-on iron jungle. The rubber hex heads protect your floors, and the ergonomic handles feel pretty darn comfy—no sweaty slipping during curls. And yes, that “new gym smell” is just rubber fumes—wipe it down for a fresher start So if you're looking to skip gym fees, avoid shoulder‑shrugging at bars, and feel like a legit lifter, this set’s got your back (and biceps). Pros: Great value, sturdy rack, comfortable grips Cons: Limited to 25 lb per dumbbell, rack bolts may need tightening over time

This is a very good product. Solid. Sturdy and easily accommodates the set of 6 barbells I bought. There is, however, one major problem, and that is the Instructions are woefully inadequate. That is why I have only given them 4 stars. The major issue with assembly is that they do not tell you that securing the locknuts has a point where a considerable amount of torque is needed to get past the lock point. I thought the product was defective and contacted customer service (to their credit responded within a few hours), and they told me the following: "The lock nuts have a lining on the inside that the bolts must pass through to tighten. You may need to use a tool to hold the nut while screwing in the bolt, as it needs force to pass through. Once you have passed through this lining, you will be able to tighten down". What they didn't mention is that it requires the use of vise-grip locking pliers to accomplish this. They only provide an Allen wrench, which, unless you have a Herculean grip, is impossible to turn. So buy this and be aware this is an assembly need: the supplied Allen wrench, PLUS a vice-grip plier.

I was worried when I first order because some of the reviews had mentioned a strong smell or that some of the weights didn’t arrive, but I didn’t experience any of those issues. The smell was not really there and didn’t smell up my house nor did I have to air them out, they all came as they should and are better quality than I thought. The stand is much sturdier than I had expedited as well, and all the handle grips are smooth and not spiky or sharp. Over all I’d say this is a very good starter set either a good weight range! Definitely would recommend to everyone.

I love all the CAP products. Just an extra thing for my home gym. Great for workouts

Great deal. Yes, they are packed coated in oil to inhibit rust, so they each have to be washed and rinsed with a soapy cloth. And they need to de-gas for sever days for the "new rubber" smell to go away, but this is pretty standard for this type of weight. The base was easy to install with an 11/16 ratchet/wrench. I agree with another reviewer that it is better to put the nuts on the outside of the frame. All around very solid and good quality.

Great deal so we purchase it despise the reviews on odor. I opened the weights outside and definitely smelt straight rubber but I just feel like that’s what’s going to happen with any rubber weights! Took a bowl of water, vinegar, and dawn. I washed them and left them outside overnight. Totally fine. The room does not reek of rubber smell. My only complaint is I’m going to need to purchase different bolts because the pieces do not fit within each other for the rack.
