Best for lifters who want a full 95 pound cast iron set delivered as one purchase, rather than assembling odd plates over time, and who value a 4.5 star rating across a meaningful 189 review sample.
Skip if
Skip it if $114.14 for 95 pounds feels steep compared to buying loose plates individually, or if you need a set larger than 95 pounds, since this listing tops out there and the Body-Solid Olympic set would need checking for higher totals.

189 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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
Anyone setting up a home gym eventually hits the same wall: bodyweight only takes strength training so far, and buying loose plates one at a time gets expensive and disorganized. The Fitvids SF2TRY-TH95 answers that with a 95 pound cast iron set at $114.14, a straightforward way to add serious load in one order.
Compared to the other plates gathered here, the SF2TRY-TH95 sits in the middle of the pack on price. It costs more than the Rendpas SP0599 at $7.99 or the PlateMate 1.25Donut at $52.90, but it's a fraction of the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set at $787.00. Its 4.5 star rating across 189 reviews lands just behind the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars and the Rendpas's 4.8 stars, but ahead of the Olympic Set's 3.8 stars, which suggests buyers are generally satisfied at this specific price and weight tier.
Cast iron construction and a 95 pound total make this a practical anchor for barbell work or plate-loaded machines rather than a supplementary piece. For someone who wants one purchase to cover most of their loading needs without approaching four figure Olympic set pricing, the SF2TRY-TH95's combination of weight, price and review pattern makes it a reasonable centerpiece choice.
Pros
- 95 pound cast iron set delivers substantial load in a single purchase
- 4.5 star average across 189 reviews is a solid, well-sampled rating
- At $114.14, it costs roughly $1.20 per pound, far below the per-pound math on the $787.00 Body-Solid Olympic set
- Black finish matches most home rack setups without color mismatch
- Listed as InStock, so it's available to order now
Cons
- $114.14 is more than double the Body-Solid #ORT's $54.00, even with a lower 4.5 star rating
- Bought last month shows 0+, giving no clear read on current demand
- 189 reviews is fewer than the Rendpas SP0599's 345, a smaller sample to judge consistency
- No pieces count is listed, so it's unclear how the 95 pounds is broken down

Performance notes
A 95 pound cast iron plate set is squarely aimed at home lifters progressing past starter weights, and cast iron remains the standard for durability under repeated loading and unloading on a barbell or plate-loaded machine. At $114.14, the SF2TRY-TH95 works out to about $1.20 per pound, which sits in a middle tier compared to lighter, cheaper listings like the Rendpas SP0599 at $7.99 and heavier premium sets like the Body-Solid Olympic set at $787.00. The 4.5 star average across 189 reviews suggests the cast iron build and black finish are meeting expectations for most buyers at this price point. Without a pieces breakdown listed, it's worth confirming how the 95 pounds is split across individual plates before ordering, since that affects how finely a lifter can adjust total load on the bar.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 189 reviews reads as consistently positive without being an outlier, similar in shape to the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars across 195 reviews. It sits above the Body-Solid Olympic Set's 3.8 stars, even though that set costs nearly seven times as much, which suggests higher price doesn't guarantee a stronger rating pattern in this category. Bought last month is listed at 0+, so there's no direct signal of current sales velocity to layer on top of the rating. With 189 reviews behind it, the sample size is large enough to trust the star average as a reasonably stable read on buyer satisfaction, even without recent purchase data to confirm ongoing demand.
