What makes the SMARTBAR different to other brands?
We've removed the annoying and downright dangerous pain points found in other brands: ‘hard to affix’ clips, loose weights, cumbersome hand plates (and more). Instead, we've created a bar & weights system built for fast paced workout classes, starting with the original barbell workout BODYPUMP.
The result is a system featuring a patented gator release mechanism, rotating bar ends and ergonomic hand plates. Translation: its engineered for performance, made for motivation.
How do you benefit?
- Maximize your results from 30-55 min total body workouts (regardless of your fitness level)

The all-new SMARTBAR Gen 2: smoother, stronger and even safer. Full of features to help you take your workouts next level and get you closer to your goals.
So what’s new?
It doesn’t seem possible, but the bar is 20% slimmer. Yet its durable as ever…test dropped 80,000 times and life tested for 5 years in a high-use club environment.
New lower-profile ‘gator teeth’ make weight transitions even faster – letting you quickly release and secure your weights between tracks. So you can keep up with the fast paced classes and spend more time working towards your aspirations.
And that’s just for starters…
- a squarer plate shape provides additional grip space, whilst textured ‘grip’ zones deliver even more control. Translation: lift heavier, for longer.
- a re-designed ‘handle insert’ engages seamlessly with the gator for extra plate security (and reduced wear on use);
- new 3.7kg & 7.5Kg plates provide progress weight increments – to help you step up your training.
