Gym Storage

Free weight storage is highly important in all gym facilities to keep the floor safe, tidy, organised and to maximise a facilities space. It is the simplest solution to prevent a messy free weight area, reduce trip hazards and prevent dumbbells or weight plates from rolling away from users.

In commercial facilities proper weight storage can enhance a gym goers experience as knowing exactly where free weights are located eliminates the need to hunt for equipment between sets. Free weight storage can be placed wherever suits your space, for easy access whilst protecting your free weights from potential damage. We offer weight storage for all types of gym equipment including dumbbells, kettlebells, free weights, Olympic bars and weight plates .

There are a variety of weight storage rack sizes to choose from dependent on the amount of equipment you have. We offer several layout options including vertical, horizontal, 2 or 3 tier options, toast racks, and bar holders as well. If you’re not sure which storage solution is best for your gym, our expert team would be happy to help. Get in touch with them on 0333 2000 750 or emailing us on hello@originfitness.com.

Things to consider when choosing free weight storage

Safety: When selecting a free-weight storage rack, ensure it securely stores the chosen free weights. Look for gym storage racks featuring rubber catchers, end plates, and secure designs that will keep equipment in place when not in use. The last thing a gym needs is to run an injury risk from loose equipment lying around the gym floor.

Protection: Gym storage should feature protective components to prevent damage to equipment and the gym floor. Look for rubber end caps on the feet that minimise damage to gym flooring and catchers that properly support equipment reducing the likelihood of scratches, marks, and dents. Minimising wear and tear is key, especially for equipment in high-use facilities.

Rack Design: It may seem simple but consider how many shelves will be required. Will two tiers be sufficient or would a 3 tier option be a better fit? It might be that a more vertical design could help save on space which would be great for dumbbells but a wall storage rack might be a better idea for barbells.
