Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
Gym Gear gives 15 kg, 201 cm, 215,000 PSI steel, six bearings (four needle, two ball), 1.2 mm knurling and markings for both Olympic lifting and powerlifting. The spec sheet prints a '453kg / 1000lbs weight capacity'; the product page says 'Rated to 1000lbs'.
The product page and the sheet's feature list give a 25 mm grip; the sheet's photo caption says 28 mm, so both are shown. The sheet also lists a 41.5 cm 'weight sleeve' and 131 cm 'distance between grips' without defining either, and they don't reconcile with the 201 cm length, so no shaft span or loadable sleeve length is recorded and rack fit can't be checked from them. The text describes a hard chrome finish and hard chrome sleeves without naming the shaft finish.

Sources & checks
Checked 10 Oct 2026. Manufacturer specifications are claims, not independent test results. Retailer listings can change. What the specification labels mean.
Before ordering
- Identity: Fytique variant SKU GG-BARS-114 matches the Gym Gear maker variant SKU; product name, variant and gallery images agree with the maker's. Neither side publishes a barcode.
- Spec sheet read: Womens_Olympic_Bar_New.pdf. The 1000 lb figure is not converted; the 453 kg figure is the sheet's own. Gym Gear's own photographs also show a dark shaft; the finish field stays unpublished rather than taken from images.
- 22 October 2026: the selected approved merchant variant was available with its purchase button enabled. Checkout and postcode delivery were not tested; availability can change.
- Listing image check, 22 October 2026: all 5 distinct gallery/description photographs and the complete rendered product section were checked by eye. Shared neutral delivery/payment icons also pass. No failing people or figures; related recommendations and navigation excluded.
