47" Olympic Straight Bar

Love this bar

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I almost didn't purchase from Northern Fitness after reading some reviews. However, they had exactly what I wanted and I could pick up at one of their warehouses to avoid shipping charges, so I went for it. I got a smokin' good deal on several Olympic cast iron plates, dumbell handles, and this 47" barbell, which I love. This bar is the perfect size and weight for me and isn't too big for my home gym! The lead time on my order was extended - 10-14 days, and was ready for pick-up at the 10-day mark. Pick-up was a breeze and the warehouse employee was super pleasant. One plate had a manufacturing issue, which they promptly replaced... shipping it at no cost right to my home. The enitre experience was positive and I would purchase from them again in a heartbeat!

Bought for the kids, kept it for myself

Bought this bar for my teens to start working out with me. However, I use it more. It is easy and convient. It fits perfectly in the car and has started coming with us on road trips.

I bought this bar for bicep curls but it's a little short for me so now my kids use it because it's not very heavy for them.

Gets the job done

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Sturdy and practical. Great for my small gym space, and for teaching clients to use the barbell when they are a little hesitant to use the 45lbs bar

Great bar, hard to find.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Bar feels,looks and works great. You need a straight bar to hit the biceps and not brachialis. Very hard to find a 47" straight bar anywhere else. Fits perfect on my Orion preacher curl bench.

Nice bar for home

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Use this bar for home workout as it much short to fit in small space, and not for heavy weights as this bar actually wouldn't fit for too many plates.

Can't go wrong here

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Bought this bar to primarily use for hip thrusts - because of the shorter length, it's perfect to navigate around my small basement gym room. The bar was excellent quality for the price, I'm 100% satisfied. Shipping was also really quick and I ordered a bunch of other heavy plates, etc.

We knew what to expect from Northern Fitness in terms of quality and this didn’t disappoint. Many online fitness suppliers aren’t worth it due to expensive and/or slow shipping methods, but this was quick, easy and reasonably priced.
