Magnets at times seem too strong but it’s better than not strong enough.Fits well with Ironmasters adjustable dumbells and Kabuki Kyubells. Will stick on anything steel or iron. If there’s a thin coating of urethane, it will probably work as well but I havnt tried.If you think you can DIY your own magnets on micro plates…. Think about how long those adhesive magnets will work time over time again after. Eventually that adhesive will peel off.Just buy once cry once and you’ll have these micro progressive overload plates forever

Given the high price, I was on the fence about buying these. I wanted to be able to use my Powerblock Exps with a weight that ended in 2.5 pounds. I emailed the manufacturer (which I understand to also be the primary seller of these on Amazon under a slightly different name) with my concerns and they replied in less than 20 minutes, allaying any worries I had about them.
The plates are fantastic! I read some reviews about the weak magnetic grip. Mine on the other hand are so strong that, I am a little embarrassed to admit, towards the end of my workout I actually have a hard time prying them off with my fingers. I've also taken to using them to make my weights end in 7.5 pounds. For example, with the Powerblocks, if you want to lift 57.5 pounds, you would set the weight stack at 60 and remove one of the interior 2.5 pound removable weights. Taking out only one of the 2.5 pound weights, however, makes the dumbbell unbalanced and awkward to handle. So what I've started doing is removing both of the interior 2.5 pound weights and then attaching the PlateMates to the dumbbell, which makes the dumbbell balanced!

5.0 out of 5 stars Using these on my adjustable dumbbells
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2023
Verified Purchase
I'm using these on my smrtfit adjustable dumbbells so I can make micro adjustments beyond the 5lb increments supported by the dumbbells themselves. I liked them so much I bought a second set. I also have two sets of another kind that attach to the dumbbells' handles so I sometimes use 2 of the magnetic and 1 on the handle to get as much as 3.75lbs added.

For my non-rubberized dumbbells, these are better than the ones that attach to the handle because, with even just two, those crowded my hands where I can put as many of these magnetic ones on as I want.

These work well. They have enough magnetic force to stay attached to the rubber coated metal weights at my gym and the bare iron ones at home but they can be pulled off without excess effort. I would like to have a good way to carry them to the gym and keep them together. I use a small shaving kit bag now but I'm looking for a creative way to hold them on a belt or something so I can wear them to the gym instead of carrying them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Added weight you can stick anywhere
Reviewed in Canada on January 12, 2021

I already had the 2.5 pound version of these so I knew what to expect. I thought these would be much smaller but they aren't. The size is about the same in diameter but they are not as thick if that makes sense. The magnets are just as strong and the cover seems just as durable. I love these because you can really place them on any painted cast iron surface. I essentially use them on kettle bells either on the flat bottom part or on one of the flat sides. It is not recommended for kettle bells but it works great. They stay in place through a set and don't move an inch. They could become a hazard if someone would swing the weights very violently or bang them together but who does that ? They are expensive for what they are but they are a niche product and if you need them the alternatives are not easy to come by.

Reviewed in Canada on December 2, 2017

These plates are absolutely terrible. They don’t offer enough magnetic strength to hold themselves onto a dumbbell, they barely stick when the dumbbell is horizontal and fall off when held vertical - and this is on dumbbells with a flat bare carbon steel surface. If they don’t work on those, they won’t work on anything. I have it 1 star because 0 wasn’t an option. At least I am getting my money back, but it’s still a hassle having to return them.

In short, is this product shouldn’t be for sale. If you are looking to allow smaller increments with dumbbell lifting, I just bought a pair of 2.5 lb ankle/wrist weights by “empower”. Much simpler idea, will actually work, and only costs $27 instead of 2x$50.
