EVERYMATE KID-BLS-BKB Barbell Review

4.8 (154) Amazon rating$89.99

Our verdict

The EVERYMATE KID-BLS-BKB barbell earns a cautious recommendation at $89.99. Its 4.8-star average across 154 reviews is the highest of any bar in this comparison, but zero recorded purchases last month is a real demand gap next to competitors selling 50 to 200-plus units monthly at less than half the price.

Best for

Best for buyers who specifically want a lighter, kid-sized or beginner alloy steel bar at 2.23 kilograms and are willing to pay a premium for a 4.8-star rating, the highest of any barbell in this lineup.

Skip if

Skip it if budget matters, since at $89.99 it costs more than double the Marcy SDC10.1's $30.78, and the lack of any recorded purchases last month makes it harder to judge ongoing demand compared to steadier sellers.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home gym and fitness equipment we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

A parent or beginner lifter shopping for a lighter bar, maybe for a younger athlete or someone easing into barbell training, is the obvious buyer for the EVERYMATE KID-BLS-BKB. At $89.99 it is priced well above every other bar in this comparison, so it needs to earn that gap somewhere else.

It does, on paper, in rating. A 4.8-star average across 154 reviews beats the 4.7-star competitors, the 4.6-star Body Sport bar, and the 4.3-star Marcy SDC10.1. The alloy steel build at 2.23 kilograms, a little under 5 pounds, marks it as a lightweight bar suited to smaller hands or lighter accessory work rather than heavy compound lifts.

The catch is demand. Bought last month sits at 0-plus, meaning no recent purchase volume is on record, while the Marcy and other bars in this set both move 200-plus units monthly and one moves 50-plus. A high rating on a smaller, currently quiet sales base is worth less certainty than a high rating backed by steady ongoing purchases. For buyers who specifically need a lighter bar and trust the 154-review track record, it is a reasonable pick. For anyone comparison shopping on price and current demand, the cheaper, more actively selling bars in this set make a stronger case.

Pros

  • 4.8-star average is the highest rating of any barbell in this comparison
  • 154 reviews is a substantial sample for a niche lightweight bar
  • Alloy steel construction at 2.23 kilograms suits lighter or smaller-frame use
  • In stock and ready to ship
  • Rating held steady at a high level across a meaningful review count rather than just a handful of reviews

Cons

  • At $89.99 it costs nearly three times the Marcy SDC10.1's $30.78
  • 0-plus bought last month means no recent purchase activity is on record, unlike the 50 to 200-plus monthly sales of every competitor listed
  • At 2.23 kilograms, about 4.9 pounds, it is too light for serious strength training or heavy compound lifts
  • No knurling or sleeve spin details are listed to judge grip or bar feel

Performance notes

At 2.23 kilograms, close to 4.9 pounds, the EVERYMATE bar sits at the lighter end of this comparison, lighter even than an 11-pound bar and a 5-pound bar also in this set. Alloy steel is a standard, durable material choice that resists bending and everyday wear, which matters for a bar likely to see frequent handling by a beginner or younger lifter. A bar this light is not built for heavy squats, deadlifts, or bench pressing; it fits better into curls, presses, or general strength-building movements where control matters more than raw load. The 'KID' in the model name and the light weight both point toward a bar sized for smaller users or introductory training rather than a serious lifter's primary barbell. Buyers should treat the $89.99 price as covering that lighter, more specialized build rather than a heavier all-purpose bar.

What buyers say

A 4.8-star average across 154 reviews is the strongest rating in this entire comparison set, ahead of two 4.7-star bars and well ahead of the 4.3-star Marcy SDC10.1. That said, the review count is modest next to the Marcy's 6,077, and the 0-plus bought-last-month figure stands out against competitors moving 50 to 200-plus units monthly. The pattern reads as a well-liked bar among the people who have bought it, but with a smaller and currently quiet buyer base rather than the high-volume, steady demand seen elsewhere in this set. That combination makes the rating trustworthy for its niche but less proof of broad ongoing appeal.
