This 5lb weight plate is well-made, durable, and easy to handle. It fits standard bars perfectly and is great for warm-ups, progressive overload, or accessory work. A solid addition to any gym—highly recommend!

Like most others on here, these weights do show a little variance. But at least they're close. They fit my 2-in barbell well with no room to slip off if I put them on outside of a collar.The only room for improvement: I have another pair of 1.25lb change plates, and these aren't the same diameter/size. Honestly, they're not super close either. It would be great if there was a standard like there is with bumper plates.

Great and beautiful addition to my gym but be aware that they're smaller than regular bumper plates... At least the 5s. But they look so cool!

The coating on this is awesome - it makes the clanking less (and I put these together with others, for various exercises, so there is a LOT of clanking if no coating!). The white color may take some getting used to, but the fear that they might get marked up (nor do they mark up anything else!) or anything appears to be unfounded. The coating seems to protect them, too, without getting marked up. Nice!I like using smaller weights like this to be able to add and subtract weights for various different exercises, especially as I am working my way up to better health and muscle tone. Small weights like this give me so much versatility in my exercise routine, and I highly recommend little weights like this for that very purpose. It just makes it so easy to say, "OKAY, I can add oneeeeeeee more set, it's barely anything!" to your favorite exercises.Overall these are easy to use and great quality in my opinion. They're a good price, too, (in my opinion) for a lightweight set with a heavy coating on them. Highly recommend.

These weight plates are perfect for my home gym. Sometimes I feel like I could had gone a bit heavier on that last set so these are perfect to see if it was enough without going full on heavier. Seems like super nice material and good coating. Super happy.

Very good, and they are coated with rubber, ideal for training and not damaging the floor or hurting my hands

This is a nice little 1.25lb x 2 weight set. Fits 2 inch bar or gym-pin type weight stack adder. I weighed them (because they are weights) and are pretty close. Many weights aren’t manufactured to exact weight. One was 2 1000ths higher than the listed weight, the other was 7 1000ths lower. I think both are within reasons tolerances (you won’t notice 7 1000ths, and if you do, do an extra rep).I got these for use with a gym pin on my functional trainer. Weights on it are in 10 lb increments. The unit came with 5lb adder that sits on top. In reality that is probably good enough, but the gym pin can add about 1.5 lbs itself, and then each of these brings me up slowly to 4 lbs, so it is a nice little micro-loading. And if you have a functional trainer without the 5lb adder, you can get a pin and micro load with these.In either case, whether you are sticking these on a bar or weight stack or just lifting by hand, if you are out there trying to buy 1.25 lbs itself plates you probably know what you want to do with them. The quality seems decent. Haven’t had them long enough to see how they take a beating but they do the job.

They allow me to make micro-adjustments to my lifts, which is essential for progressive overload in my strength training routine.

After several weeks of use, they show no signs of wear or damage, promising long-lasting performance in my home gym setup.Overall, the Egles Change Plates are a high-quality, functional addition to any home gym.
