Why We Love This Deal
Walmart has become the best place to shop for deals on fitness equipment. One of its bestsellers, this kettlebell set, was recently on the receiving end of a half-off discount, and this home gym machine is on sale for under $800. But neither is turning heads as much as this Cap Barbell weight plate set—right now, it’s under $15.
With a savings of 71% off its regular price of $49, the Cap Barbell 4-Piece 20-Pound Weight Plate Set is an absolute steal at only $14. This bestseller’s stock just rose even higher, thanks to this price, but shoppers loved it before, too—it’s earned nearly 350 five-star ratings on top of the now excellent savings.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Weight: 4 individual 5-pound plates (20 total pounds)
- Size: 1-inch center hole
- Material: Cast iron
- Coating: Enamel
When evaluating the cost of fitness equipment, most consider the cost per pound to compare and contrast overall value. Most of the time, you’ll see weights break down to approximately $1.40 to $3 per pound, with a safe zone being around $2. The deal on these tiny plates breaks down to a jaw-dropping 67 cents per pound—one of the most unheard-of deals I have ever seen, and by a well-known gym brand to boot.
This 20-pound plate set is machined out at 1 inch, which is a typical option brands choose for home gym setups. They are cast iron with an enamel coating, making them rust- and corrosion-resistant.
At only 5 pounds per plate, these are best suited for a dumbbell, but you can use them to round out weight on a barbell as well. And while they’re sold without any additional pieces, Walmart also has a 1-inch dumbbell handle, also from Cap Barbell, for just $13 right now.
What Shoppers Are Saying
There are not a lot of words that can be used to describe something as simple as a weighted fitness plate, but a few buyers who left reviews did just that. Many agreed that they’re great, and one noted that “the coating finish makes them last,” and that it was easy to grip and use them during workouts.
Another called them “perfect” because they’re “well-coated, easy to carry, and perfectly weighted (to the 5th of a lb, anyway).”
This set is going to sell fast with a discount this steep, and rightfully so. Don’t miss your chance for an affordable way to improve your home gym and life, so grab yours while you still can.
