EVERYMATE 01 Weight Plates Review
Our verdict
The EVERYMATE 01 weight plates are a straightforward pick at $35.99 for anyone filling out a home rack with small-increment rubber plates. A 4.7-star average across 204 reviews and 100+ units bought last month point to a product that holds up under normal use without drama, especially next to pricier cast iron alternatives in this category.

Best for lifters who need small 5-pound rubber plates to fine-tune a barbell or dumbbell load without spending on iron, and who want a plate backed by a large volume of recent, mostly positive reviews at a low price point.
Skip if
Skip it if you need large-diameter Olympic plates for a barbell that already carries heavy iron, since the 5-pound size and pink finish here are built for accessory work, not for loading up a serious strength program from scratch.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Anyone building out a home gym setup usually hits a point where the barbell needs just a little more weight than the next plate up provides, and that is the gap small rubber plates like the EVERYMATE 01 are meant to fill. At $35.99, this set reads as an add-on purchase rather than a foundation, which matches how most buyers appear to be using it.
The listing specs are simple: rubber material, 5 pounds per plate, sold as a set of 5, in a pink finish. Rubber-coated plates tend to sit down quietly and are gentler on floors and neighboring equipment than bare iron, which matters in a garage or spare room that doubles as living space. The listing does not specify bore diameter, so buyers should confirm hole size against their own bar or dumbbell handle before ordering.
Set against the other plates pulled for comparison, the EVERYMATE 01 sits well below the $52.9 PlateMate 1.25 Donut and far below the $787 Body-Solid Olympic set, while its 204 reviews at a 4.7 average is the strongest review volume of the group. Combined with 100+ units bought last month, the pattern points to a low-cost accessory plate that a lot of people are actually buying and rating well, not just browsing.
Pros
- Priced at $35.99, well under the $52.9 to $787 range of the comparison set
- 4.7-star average across 204 reviews is the highest review count among the plates compared here
- 100+ bought last month signals steady, current demand rather than a stale listing
- Rubber coating is generally quieter and gentler on floors than bare iron or steel
- Sold as a set of 5, useful for rounding out small increments on a bar
Cons
- 5-pound plates alone will not add meaningful load to a heavily weighted barbell
- Listing does not state bore diameter, so fit with a specific bar is not guaranteed
- Pink finish limits appeal for buyers wanting a matched, all-black plate set
- No mention of Olympic-standard sizing, unlike the heavier plates in this comparison

Performance notes
At 5 pounds per plate, the EVERYMATE 01 is built for fine-tuning a load rather than carrying the bulk of it. Rubber construction generally means a softer landing when set down and less chance of chipping a floor or another plate, a real consideration for anyone lifting in a garage or apartment. The set of 5 pieces gives some flexibility for splitting weight across both sides of a bar or adding small jumps to a dumbbell handle. Without a stated bore diameter, the plate's fit on standard versus Olympic sleeves is the one open question a buyer needs to check against their own equipment before ordering. At $35.99, the price sits low enough that it functions as a low-risk accessory purchase rather than a core piece of equipment.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star average holding across 204 reviews is a large enough sample to trust as a real signal rather than a fluke from a handful of early raters. Paired with 100+ units bought in the last month, the pattern suggests a plate that keeps selling and keeps satisfying buyers rather than one that spiked once and faded. Compared to the Body-Solid #ORT at 4.6 stars over 195 reviews, the EVERYMATE 01 edges it out on both rating and review count, while alternatives like the PlateMate 1.25 Donut and the Body-Solid Olympic set show zero recent purchase activity in this data. That combination of volume and consistency is a reasonable proxy for a product doing what buyers expect at its price.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the EVERYMATE 01 weight plates?
Each plate weighs 5 pounds according to the listing, and they are sold as a set of 5 pieces in a pink finish. The listing does not specify bore diameter, so check that measurement against your own bar or dumbbell handle before ordering.
Is the EVERYMATE 01 a good value at $35.99?
At $35.99, it undercuts every other plate in this comparison except the $52.9 PlateMate 1.25 Donut, and it carries the highest review count of the group at 204, with a 4.7-star average. For small-increment rubber plates, that combination of price and rating volume reads as good value.
How does the EVERYMATE 01 compare to iron or steel plates?
Rubber plates like this one are generally quieter and less likely to damage floors than the iron used in the Body-Solid options in this comparison, but they are not built to carry the heavy Olympic loads those iron plates handle. This one is best treated as a light accessory plate.
