Weight tree

Name: Weight tree
Brand: Gold's Gym
Rating: 2.6 (5 reviews)

A compact, budget weight-plate and barbell storage tree from Gold’s Gym, sold exclusively through Walmart and now discontinued. Four vertical posts sized for standard 1” plates (2” Olympic plates fit, but more loosely) plus an integrated barbell/curl-bar holder let a home gym corral its plates and bars in one small footprint — reviewers report it typically sold for around $29 and comfortably held close to 300 lbs of plates in daily use. It’s a no-frills option: expect steel construction with a black coating that can chip on the posts over time, not the fully-welded build of a premium plate tree.

What is a Storage?

What gym storage is

Storage keeps a home gym safe, tidy, and usable: weight-plate trees and pegs, barbell holders (vertical or horizontal), dumbbell and kettlebell shelves, and wall or rack-mounted organizers. Loose plates and bars on the floor are a trip-and-damage hazard; storage reclaims space and protects your equipment.

What to consider

Match storage to what you own (plate diameter, number of bars, dumbbell count) and your space — wall-mounted units and rack-hung storage save floor area, while free-standing trees move easily. Check the weight capacity and, for wall units, that you can anchor into studs.

A budget Gold’s Gym plate-and-barbell storage tree, sold exclusively through Walmart and now discontinued. Value is the standout: it typically sold for around $29, and hands-on owners describe it as sturdy for the price — one buyer stacked nearly 300 lbs of plates across its four posts without issue and went on to buy a second unit. Build quality is the weak spot: the posts’ black coating chips as plates slide on and off, some units ship with hardware that doesn’t quite match the printed instructions, and GymRadar’s own small independent sample (n=5) rates it just 2.6/5 — the most skeptical signal in this write-up. Its four 1” posts fit standard plates cleanly and 2” Olympic plates loosely, so an Olympic-heavy setup may want a dedicated Olympic tree instead.
