6ft International Barbell

Just received the bar and I’m really happy! I emailed customer care to get some more information before my purchase and the reply was very swift. I made the order and bar came next day via ups. Really well packaged, was in a tube which was then in a rectangular box. Previous times I have ordered barbells from other places they only come in the tube, so really great that it was double protected from Strength Shop. Nice finish, very smooth sleeve rotation, no noises and smooth finish on the sleeves. Weighed 14.6kg which is great, with the collars on weighs 15kg, added 2.5kg fractional plates on both sides and I get a 20kg bar :-D

*I have to preface I ordered a similar 6ft international bar from Mirafit and I was very disappointed. The price was the same but quality very poor. Firstly the bar didn’t weigh anywhere near 15kg, it was about 13.2kg. This really throws off being able to correctly weight the bar for progression in training. The next thing was that the sleeves were really crunchy and rattle when spun. Not smooth at all, one side was worse then the other. That was £130 down the drain as a barbell is too hard to return. Ended up selling it on gumtree for £100, making a £30 loss.*

In contrast my experience and product delivered by Strength Shop - fantastic! If you need a 6ft international barbell, this is the one to get, you won’t be disappointed! If I had to make one critique it would be to have a slightly coarser knurling - but to be fair this is an olympic bar and not a power bar. The other thing I would suggest to Strength Shop is to label the bar as a 6ft international barbell. I could only find two places that sold this barbell. Then one day I was looking on your website and found it! If it was labelled differently probably would have ordered sooner and not made the mistake with Mirafit.

Will definitely order again from you, I like your 2028 barbell, probably will be my next purchase. Thanks again for great customer care and fantastic barbell!

Ethical company and great to deal with

I’ve shopped a number of times at strength shop and they have always gone the extra mile. Their equipment is top notch and also ethical witch is really important for me.
Recently I was looking for a belt without the buckle as I already have one and they came back to me with a solution really quickly and facilitated a smooth transaction.
Previously my buckle broke and was replaced quickly with no fuss.
Great company.

Excellent customer service by Dee.

Brilliant customer service on Dee's part, had an issue with ordering online and every message I sent was replied to very quickly. Dee solved my issue in no time at all and was extremely helpful the whole time and went above and beyond to make sure all my queries were answered and my issue was resolved satisfactorily.

Extra mile

I recently had an issue regarding one of the third party products Strengthshop’s sell on their site.

It didn’t function the way I’d hoped so I contacted them through email. Their customer service team couldn’t have been more helpful and resolved the matter beyond what I could have wished. I only emailed to notify them of issues with the product but they went above and beyond.

Just a great company.

Helpful and top products…

The enquires team is really on the ball. They organized a complex shipping issue for me, which was appreciated. The quality of the goods is tremendous so it’s worth shopping with Strength Shop - I had them recommended by my trainers, I’ll recommend them too!

Fantastic Products and Service

Strength Shop is, without doubt, one of my finds of lockdown. They provide fantastic quality products at excellent price points, and the personal level of service is incomparable: They even provided me with extra nuts and bolts to fix an issue with a prowler I had bought earlier from a different supplier! Simply great.
