Northern Olympic Barbell 15kg & 20kg

Northern Olympic Bumper Plates Pair - 5kg x 2 (10kg)

I’ve been delighted with my Northern gym equipment and this is my third separate order following a bar, bumper plates, slam balls and plyo boxes which have all been excellent. This toast rack however falls well short of what I’d expect. You can’t neatly place 2x20 plates together or even two slots of 1x20 and 1x15 meaning I’m just jumbling bigger plates with 5kg or a 10 kg - first world problem, but this is for organisation right?
One of the stands was bent away from being vertical on arrival, and one of the castor wheels also cracked on arrival too. Disappointed overall

I recently ordered a barbell and 60kg weight set from Northern and paid extra for express delivery (1–2 days). The weights arrived within the promised timeframe, but unfortunately the barbell did not.

Despite placing my order on 26th April, the barbell didn’t arrive until 19th May — almost four weeks later. This was despite a resend being arranged and around a dozen emails exchanged during that time. While Northern were quick to reply to emails, the process took far too long and the responses lacked much compassion or accountability.

To make matters worse, the barbell also arrived without any weight collars, meaning I had to purchase these separately.

Northern only refunded the additional express delivery charge rather than the full delivery fee, which was disappointing given the circumstances.

That said, their communication was consistently prompt, which is the reason I’ve given two stars instead of one.
