Power Maxx Versatile, high-quality, perfect for any gym setting, and best of all, tried
Maxim Strength, a high-end commercial gym equipment manufacturer based in Adelaide, created the Power Maxx brand. They are no longer in business as manufacturing in Australia was not financially viable. Initially we used to purchase through Maxim, but after they closed up we took on the Power Maxx brand.
With their ability to manufacture custom products, Maxim made specialised gear for many football clubs, sports institutes and commercial gyms in Australia. Their customers were focused on quality and performance. Even for generic, general use products like weight plates, barbells and dumbbells, these gyms were after a quality product.
That is why Maxim decided to create the Power Maxx brand, to differentiate their product from the swamp of cheaper products out there.
As of 2022, we have been using the same manufacturer of Power Maxx for over 15 years. Sometimes we thought we could get a better deal because the Power Maxx products were always a bit more expensive than the competition. We would throw a line out and test what the competitors offered by getting some samples and would always be underwhelmed.
For home gym use, the Power Maxx products will last a long time. I can say this with confidence because I use one of their 1500lbs copper bushed barbells. It somehow made it’s way into my gym at work when we moved into our new warehouse 12 years ago. It had been kicking around in our old warehouse for who knows how long.
With the exception of battle scars from all the use, it still works perfectly and I will continue to use it to see just how much mileage I can get on the clock.
For gyms, the Power Maxx range offers durability at a very affordable price. The dumbbells and cable attachments in particular have been very popular over the years. The rubber coated Power Maxx kettlebells with chrome handles have proven to be a hit with outdoor trainers. They stand up very well to the elements.
Power Maxx - Weights & Accessories
To give you an indication of the quality of the Power Maxx products, here they are in St Kilda’s gym. You will recognise the Power Maxx premium plates that we have been selling for years.
The Power Maxx Dumbbell Sets are the commercial option. Manufacturers typically have different grade of product so we always opt for the better quality variant.
In the case of dumbbells, they fully weld the head on, instead of a spot weld. Many of the sellers that came on board in the covid era did not know about this, hence you will see many a dumbbell with spinning heads due to the spot weld cracking.
That is why we can not always compete on price with retailers who sell inferior items. The quality of the materials and the workmanship is just not the same. Gym equipment make look very similar in a picture, but there often some subtle differences that make a world of difference.
Our ATX and Ironmaster range are a level up in quality compared to the competition and will serve you well on your training journey. You want your barbells, dumbbells and weight plates to make that journey too. Power Maxx offers that level of quality to match the rest of the gear in your gym.
