The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home gym and fitness equipment we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A lifter who wants to nudge a lift up by a small, precise increment rather than jump a full 5 or 10 pounds is the natural buyer for the Fitvids SF2TRY-RC45P. It's listed as a 2-pound, rubber-coated alloy steel plate at $109.99, a price that only makes sense once you consider it's meant for fine-tuning, not bulk loading. That's a niche use case, but a real one for lifters chasing small, controlled jumps in weight.
The 4.8 star average is the highest among the plate sets compared here, edging past the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 from 195 reviews and the PlateMate Donut's 4.4 from 170 reviews. At 117 reviews, it also has a deeper track record than the smaller-sample competitors, making the high rating easier to trust.
At 2 pounds per piece for $109.99, the cost per pound is considerably higher than the $54 Body-Solid #ORT or the $52.9 PlateMate Donut, both of which cost under $55 total. Buyers should weigh whether the small, precise increment justifies the higher per-pound price, since this plate isn't positioned to compete on bulk value the way the cheaper alternatives are. For straightforward bulk loading, the Body-Solid #ORT and PlateMate Donut remain the more economical choice per pound of actual plate.
Pros
- Highest star rating in this comparison at 4.8, backed by 117 reviews
- Rubber coating over an alloy steel core, a combination built for durability and quieter handling
- Currently InStock and available to order
- Precise 2-pound increment, useful for small load adjustments
- Large review base of 117 lends more confidence to the rating than the 11 to 14 review samples on some other plate listings
Cons
- At $109.99 for a 2-pound plate, the cost per pound is far higher than the $54 Body-Solid #ORT or $52.9 PlateMate Donut
- Small 2-pound size means many pieces are needed to add significant load
- Bought last month is listed at 0+, giving no read on current sales pace
- Only 1 piece per the listed specs, so buyers need multiple units to build a full set

Performance notes
The listed specs put this plate at 2 pounds, alloy steel core, rubber coated, sold as 1 piece, for $109.99. That works out to roughly $55 per pound, noticeably higher than the $54 Body-Solid #ORT (1 pound, aluminum) or the $52.9 PlateMate Donut (0.5 kilograms, iron), both of which cost under $55 for the whole unit. In practice, a rubber coating over alloy steel should hold up to repeated handling and drops better than bare iron, and the coating typically reduces noise and protects flooring. The 2-pound size fits a specific use case, fine increments for progressive overload, rather than bulk plate loading. Buyers filling out a full barbell setup with heavier plates would get more total weight per dollar from the Body-Solid #ORT or PlateMate Donut, while buyers who specifically need small, precise add-on weight are the better fit for this listing.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star average across 117 reviews is a strong combination, the highest rating of any plate in this comparison and with a deeper review base than most of the alternatives. Compare that to the Body-Solid #ORT's 4.6 from 195 reviews or the PlateMate Donut's 4.4 from 170 reviews, both good but slightly behind. The bought-last-month figure sits at 0+, which doesn't confirm strong current momentum, but with 117 existing reviews already in place, the pattern suggests a plate that's built a solid track record over time rather than one riding a recent spike. The high rating paired with meaningful review volume is a more trustworthy signal than a high rating alone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Fitvids SF2TRY-RC45P plate weigh?
The listed specs show 2 pounds per piece, made of alloy steel with a rubber coating. It's sold as a single piece at $109.99, so it's built for small, precise weight increments rather than bulk barbell loading, best paired with a heavier existing plate set rather than used as a standalone loading solution.
Is $109.99 a good price for a 2-pound plate?
It works out to about $55 per pound, higher than the $54 Body-Solid #ORT or $52.9 PlateMate Donut, both of which cost less than $55 total. The premium reflects the small, precise increment size rather than bulk value, a tradeoff that makes more sense for fine-tuning a lift than for building out a full plate collection.
How reliable is the 4.8 star rating?
It's backed by 117 reviews, a solid sample size and the largest paired with the highest rating in this plate comparison. That combination makes the 4.8 average more trustworthy than ratings resting on just 11 or 14 reviews, where a handful of new opinions could move the score noticeably.
