Fitvids 1INIP-70SET-N Weight Plates Review
Our verdict
At $79.89, the Fitvids 1INIP-70SET-N brings the same 40-pound, 12-piece cast iron format as the brand's own POG-2INIP-70SET, but with a lower 4.4-star average across 210 reviews and a $4.42 higher price, making it the weaker pick between two nearly identical sets.

Buyers who found this specific listing, prefer its gray finish, or already have it in a cart. A 4.4-star average across 210 reviews is still a solid track record for a 40-pound fractional plate set.
Skip if
Anyone comparison shopping within the Fitvids lineup should skip this in favor of the POG-2INIP-70SET, which shares the same 40-pound, 12-piece cast iron format for less money and a higher 4.6-star average across more than double the reviews.

Overview
Two Fitvids listings in this comparison share almost the exact same build: 40 pounds spread across 12 cast iron plates. The 1INIP-70SET-N is one of them, priced at $79.89. The question worth asking before buying is why choose this one over the nearly identical POG-2INIP-70SET, which costs $75.47.
The spec sheets line up closely. Both sets total 40 pounds across 12 pieces of cast iron, with the only listed difference being color, gray here versus grey on the POG set, a distinction that is purely cosmetic. Compared to the smaller PlateMate 1.25Donut at $52.9 with 2 pieces, or the single-plate Body-Solid #ORT at $54 with 1 piece, this set offers more pieces and more flexibility in one order, though at a higher price than either.
Where the two Fitvids sets diverge is the review record. The 1INIP-70SET-N holds a 4.4-star average across 210 reviews, while the POG-2INIP-70SET holds 4.6 stars across more than double the reviews at 452. That is a real gap, not a rounding difference, and combined with the higher price, it puts this listing at a disadvantage against its own sibling product.
Pros
- 210 reviews is a solid sample size, more than the PlateMate's 170 or the Body-Solid #ORT's 195
- 40 pounds across 12 cast iron plates gives a wide range of small increments for fine-tuning a lift
- Cast iron construction matches the more heavily reviewed options in this comparison
- In stock with no listed availability delay
- More pieces per set than single-plate options like the Body-Solid #ORT
Cons
- 4.4-star average is lower than the nearly identical Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET's 4.6 stars
- Priced at $79.89, about $4 more than the higher-rated POG-2INIP-70SET with the same specs
- 210 reviews is less than half the POG set's 452, a smaller sample to judge consistency by
- 40 pounds across 12 pieces still averages small individual plates, not full-size loading weight

Performance notes
This set totals 40 pounds across 12 cast iron plates, the same weight-to-piece ratio as the brand's other 40-pound listing in this comparison, meaning it is built for the same job: adding small increments to a bar rather than loading heavy working weight. Cast iron holds up well over repeated use without the compression wear some coated composite plates show over time, and it is the same material used across most of the higher-rated plates covered in this comparison. The gray finish is a cosmetic choice with no bearing on how the plates load or fit a sleeve. As with the other fractional-style sets here, no dimensions are listed, so buyers combining several thin plates with standard-size plates on one sleeve should account for stacking clearance before assuming a clean fit, especially on a bar already loaded close to sleeve capacity.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average across 210 reviews is a respectable pattern on its own, ahead of the PlateMate's 170-review sample and close to the Body-Solid #ORT's 195. But context matters here: the nearly identical Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET holds a 4.6-star average across 452 reviews, a larger sample with a better result. That gap suggests buyers comparing the two nearly identical sets have, in aggregate, rated the sibling product slightly higher. It does not mean this listing is a poor choice, 4.4 stars on 210 reviews is still a solid track record, just not the strongest one available in this specific product line.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET?
Both are 40-pound, 12-piece cast iron sets, with color as the main listed difference, gray here versus grey on the POG set. The POG-2INIP-70SET costs $4.42 less and holds a higher 4.6-star average across more than double the reviews, 452 versus 210, making it the stronger pick between the two.
Is 210 reviews enough to trust the 4.4-star rating?
It is a reasonable sample size, comparable to or larger than most other plate sets in this comparison. It is smaller than the 452-review POG-2INIP-70SET, but 210 reviews holding at 4.4 stars is still a meaningful pattern rather than a handful of early ratings.
What is this set best used for?
At 40 pounds across 12 cast iron plates, it is designed for small load adjustments on a barbell, not for loading a bar to a heavy working weight on its own. Pair it with standard-size plates for larger jumps in a working set.
