Best for lifters who want a 95 pound set broken into 12 separate pieces for more precise loading combinations, rather than a small number of large plates, and who don't mind a slightly lower 4.2 star rating.
Skip if
Skip it if you'd rather have fewer, larger plates instead of 12 pieces to manage, or if the 4.2 star rating across 136 reviews feels less reassuring than the 4.5 to 4.8 star options also priced near this range.

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
Home lifters who want to fine-tune their loading often run into the same problem: big plates jump weight in large increments, making it hard to add just a little more. The Fitvids SF2TRY-RC95 addresses that directly, spreading 95 pounds of cast iron across 12 separate pieces for $110.57.
Against the other plates in this comparison, the SF2TRY-RC95 is priced close to its sibling, the SF2TRY-TH95 at $114.14, but at $110.57 it's slightly cheaper while offering more pieces to work with. Its 4.2 star rating across 136 reviews is the lowest of the group, trailing the Rendpas SP0599's 4.8 stars, the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars, and even its own sibling's 4.5 stars, though it still sits above the Body-Solid Olympic Set's 3.8 stars.
The 12 piece breakdown is the standout feature here, since it turns a 95 pound total into a flexible set for barbell or dumbbell loading rather than a fixed block of weight. For a lifter who values that flexibility over top tier ratings, the SF2TRY-RC95's price and piece count make it a reasonable pick, though the slightly lower rating and smaller review base compared to alternatives are worth weighing first.

- Works out to about $1.16 per pound, competitive against the $1.20 per pound of the SF2TRY-TH95
- Listed as InStock and ready to order
Cons
- 4.2 star rating is the lowest among the four plates compared here
- 136 reviews is the smallest sample in this comparison, fewer than the Rendpas SP0599's 345

- 12 separate pieces means more individual plates to track and store than a single large plate

Performance notes
Splitting 95 pounds across 12 pieces changes how a plate set gets used day to day. Instead of loading two large discs onto a barbell, a lifter working with the SF2TRY-RC95 has smaller units to combine, which makes it easier to hit odd totals or share plates across multiple bars and machines at once. At $110.57, that flexibility costs slightly less than the single-block SF2TRY-TH95 at $114.14, working out to about $1.16 per pound. Cast iron remains the material here, the same as its sibling set and the PlateMate 1.25Donut, so durability under repeated use should track similarly across those options. The 4.2 star average across 136 reviews is the softest rating in this comparison, which is worth weighing against the convenience of the 12 piece format before deciding it's the right fit for a given rack setup.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 136 reviews is the lowest rating and smallest review count in this group of four plates, trailing the Rendpas SP0599's 4.8 stars from 345 reviews and the sibling SF2TRY-TH95's 4.5 stars from 189 reviews. That gap doesn't necessarily mean a worse product, since a 12 piece format introduces more parts that could each draw individual complaints, pulling the average down slightly compared to single-piece listings. Bought last month sits at 0+, so there's no recent demand signal layered on top of the review pattern. With 136 reviews, the sample is smaller than some alternatives but still large enough to treat the 4.2 star average as a meaningful, if slightly softer, read on buyer satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the SF2TRY-RC95 come in 12 pieces?
Splitting the 95 pound total into 12 pieces gives lifters smaller increments to work with, useful for hitting precise totals across a barbell or multiple pieces of equipment. It's a different approach than the single-block SF2TRY-TH95, which delivers the same 95 pounds without that breakdown.
How does the SF2TRY-RC95's price compare to the SF2TRY-TH95?
At $110.57, the SF2TRY-RC95 costs slightly less than the SF2TRY-TH95's $114.14, despite delivering the same 95 pound total. The difference comes down to the 12 piece format versus a simpler breakdown, plus a lower 4.2 star rating compared to the TH95's 4.5 stars.
Is a 4.2 star rating still trustworthy?
Yes, with 136 reviews behind it, a 4.2 star average is a reasonably reliable pattern, even though it's the lowest rating among the plates compared here. It still sits well above the Body-Solid Olympic Set's 3.8 stars, which costs far more at $787.00.
