15 lb Training Barbell

Weight balance, knurling, overall appearance of the bar is great. However, unlike any of my other bars the collars have enough play internally that the bar clanks when you set it down or move it quickly. I even took off the end cap to see if the little metal disc was the only thing moving, but it seems the tolerance is off on something larger internally. Shame because other than that it’s a great training bar.

I bought this lightweight bar for my children. They are in junior high and have recently become interested in physical training.This bar allows my kids to use a classic form factor barbell with lightweight plates as I coach their power lifts. It is long enough to be racked (you should be fine to use this in your rack, but make sure you measure your equipment anyway).Shipping was instantaneous--I swear! The bar was packaged in a appropriately robust tube AND it was simple to unpack. ...mighty fine for included shipping. I received the barbell in pristine condition.The bar's knurling is very nice, wonderful really! It's so nice that the kids will not have to use chalk (less mess in my house). I like matte finish of this barbell.If I could change anything, I would add a center knurl (for squats). That's not even a criticism, I've squatted with and without a center knurl. There are many other things on which to focus when squatting besides center knurl--or lack thereof.This type of bar is a necessary component for small or frail novices. It will also appeal to anyone who wants a lightweight bar. I looked around quite a bit and concluded this was a top tier choice based on form factor, capacity, quality, and shipping. Get it!

Wanted to purchase a training bar for the last year and the recent discount helped me pull the trigger!!!!Love it for perfecting my skills without concern of injury!Quality is great and now I have no excuse for not doing the work!!!!

The little metal pieces on the ends jingle when I go through various movements, but otherwise it’s a great bar for form focus on warm ups.

When I received the barbell, the box had been ripped on both ends and then someone tried taping it back together, probably UPS. There are scratches on both ends of the bar. Probably won’t affect the performance, but still disappointing. Seems like it would be a hassle to ship it back, so I’m stuck with a chewed up barbell.

These are excellent — they are very durable a s do a great job!!

It's a great starter bar. It can hold a good amount of plates. The capacity is great compared to other starter bars. Only minus is cannot drop.

So happy with my new training barbell from Fringe! It's been a great addition while I'm learning and sometimes even an empty barbell can get heavy during drills.

Arrived safe and well packaged. No defects in bar and is of great quality. Bought for my kids to progress past the PVC pipe learning the basic lifts with me while in the garage. At first I was skeptical on the price tag but after having it for 3-4 weeks I can tell the quality craftsmanship appears to be on par with it.

I purchased this bar for my 12 year old daughter who has expressed interest in lifting weights with my Husband and I. So far so good, she is enjoying learning technique while having the option to add a little more weight as her confidence and strength increases. Nice quality bar for anyone who is looking for a lightweight bar to get started with.

Love it. I used it yesterday to do high volume overhead squats. So nice to have the luxury of scaling down but keeping the plates on!

Perfect training bar for my wife. Great for me too when my shoulder is acting up.

I got this for my girlfriend who has no interest in lifting until her doctor told her she should not lift weights because of signs of her bones losing calcium. I told her if she wants her bones to get stronger, LIFT!

This is very handy for learning new exercises or for my wife who is just starting to lift. Very nicely made. The sleeves actually spin very smoothly. Add a pair of 10 pound rubber bumper plates and you can do correct form 35 pound deadlifts!

This is a great hollow core aluminum training bar. It's got reliable bushings, a grippy shaft. I wish it didn't have IPF markings because that's just silly but the rest of them do so it's hard to fault it here. I'm happy to have a great weightlifting training bar in my garage.
