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
Not every home gym is built around an Olympic barbell, and the Fitvids POG-1INIP-2.5X4-2N is aimed at the standard 1-inch crowd instead. It ships as a 4-piece set totaling 10 pounds of cast iron, priced at $17.99, a modest entry point compared to the Olympic 2-inch sets in this comparison. That price and weight combination makes it more of a stocking-stuffer purchase than a centerpiece of a barbell program.
The review record is solid for a budget accessory: a 4.5-star average across 235 reviews. That places it below the Fitvids QD740-RW-20-2's 4.7-star, 356-review record but above the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set's 3.8 stars across 78 reviews, and close to the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars across 195 reviews. Across the whole comparison set, this listing lands in the middle of the pack on rating strength.
Bought last month shows 0+ for this listing, so recent momentum is not visible right now, even though the review count suggests steady sales over time. For the price, it's a reasonable way to add small increments to a standard 1-inch bar, but it is not a fit for anyone using Olympic-sleeve equipment, who should look at the 2-inch plates elsewhere in this lineup instead.
Pros
- 4.5-star average across 235 reviews, a solid track record for a budget accessory set.
- 4-piece set totaling 10 pounds, giving flexibility to load in smaller increments.
- Priced at $17.99, one of the most affordable options in this comparison.
- Cast iron construction for durability.
- Currently listed as In Stock and ready to ship.
Cons
- 1-inch center bore only fits standard bars, not Olympic 2-inch sleeves.
- Bought last month shows 0+, with no visible recent sales momentum.
- At 10 pounds total across 4 pieces, it's meant for small load additions, not heavy barbell training.
- Rating sits below the Fitvids QD740-RW-20-2's 4.7 stars and the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars.

Performance notes
A 1-inch center bore is the standard size for non-Olympic barbells and many dumbbell handles, so this set is meant for lighter home equipment rather than a full Olympic barbell setup. Spread across 4 pieces for a combined 10 pounds, the plates are sized for small, incremental additions rather than heavy compound lifts, which fits the $17.99 price point aimed at casual or beginner use. That's a different job than the Olympic 2-inch plates in this comparison, like the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set at $787, which are built for barbell training at higher loads. Cast iron keeps the cost down relative to bumper or coated plates, though as with any uncoated iron plate, care around floors and equipment is worth factoring in when deciding where to use it.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 235 reviews puts this listing in solid territory, ahead of the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set's 3.8 stars across 78 reviews, though slightly behind the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 stars across 195 reviews and the Fitvids QD740-RW-20-2's 4.7 stars across 356 reviews. That's a reasonably deep review base for a low-cost accessory set. Bought last month reads 0+, which doesn't confirm a current sales spike, but the accumulated review count suggests the listing has sold steadily over a longer stretch. The overall pattern reads as a dependable, if unspectacular, budget option rather than either a breakout bestseller or a risky new listing.

Frequently asked questions
What size barbell does the Fitvids POG-1INIP-2.5X4-2N fit?
It has a 1-inch center bore, which fits standard non-Olympic barbells and many dumbbell handles. It will not fit Olympic barbells, which use a 2-inch sleeve, so Olympic lifters need a different plate entirely to load their bar, regardless of how well this set is reviewed.
How much weight does this set add?
The set totals 10 pounds spread across 4 pieces, based on the listed specs. That makes it suited for small incremental additions rather than heavy loading, so it works best as a supplement to a larger plate collection rather than a standalone loading solution.
How does the rating compare to other plates in this category?
At 4.5 stars across 235 reviews, it rates below the Fitvids QD740-RW-20-2's 4.7 stars and 356 reviews, but above the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set's 3.8 stars across 78 reviews, placing it solidly in the middle of this lineup.
