SuperPump Rack Kit: A Complete Guide
The SuperPump Rack Kit is the technical equipment required to run Power Pump classes in a training room: lightweight barbells with a diameter of 28 mm, polyurethane or vinyl weight plates with modular loads, spring-loaded collars and rack systems for organised storage. A single kit weighs between 18 and 19.5 kg depending on the configuration, which is sufficient to cover a full range of bodyweight exercises with progressive overload. The range includes two rack sizes (Small and Large) designed for training areas accommodating 10 to 30 users, and the spare parts key factors for extending the service life of kits already in use. Below you will find the different types, selection criteria and a comparison of the available models.
What is the SuperPump Kit-rack: definition and function
Power Pump is a group class format that uses a light barbell with low-weight plates to perform a high volume of repetitions of squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, curls and lifts, all set to music. The barbell has a diameter of 28 mm, which is significantly different from the 50 mm of the weightlifting barbells Olympic: this allows people of different abilities and body types to train with the same equipment without placing excessive strain on themselves.
The rack is the metal structure that holds and organises the kits when they are not in use. It makes all the difference: a tidy training room at the end of the lesson, reduced set-up times, and kits always paired with their correct plates. In commercial courses with 20 or more participants, the difference between having a rack and not having one is measured in minutes lost per lesson.
Types of SuperPump Rack Kits
Complete PU (polyurethane) kits
The 19.5 kg PU Super Pump Kit includes a barbell, coated polyurethane weight plates and collars. PU weight plates are more resistant to repeated drops onto parquet or lightweight sports flooring, retain their finish for longer and produce less noise on impact. They are the most durable choice for high-traffic group exercise studios.
Complete vinyl kits
The 18 kg Vinyl Super Pump Kit uses vinyl-coated plates, offering a lighter and more economical option. Suitable for personal training studios, advanced home gyms and venues with less frequent classes. The vinyl coating is susceptible to impact from sharp edges, which is why it is best suited to environments with technical flooring Continue.
Small and Large kit racks
The Small Pump Rack accommodates a limited number of kits and is the ideal solution for personal training studios or training rooms with up to 10–12 stations. The Large Pump Rack is designed for commercial gyms with 20–30 participants and should be installed against a wall or used as a functional room divider.
Spare parts and individual components
Individual PU or vinyl weight plates, Super Pump barbells (standard and Iron versions), Lock Pump Bar collars (Ø 28 mm) and a pair of steel springs. Useful for restoring worn-out sets or putting together custom configurations.
How to choose: a guide to use cases
Commercial gyms with a training room for 20–30 participants
You will need the Large Pump Rack plus a number of kits at least equal to the maximum capacity of the gym. The PU kit is recommended for greater durability under intensive use. Ensure you have a stock of 10% additional kits so that you can rotate parts undergoing maintenance and avoid leaving any stations unstaffed.
Personal training studios and boutique gyms
The Small Pump Rack, which holds 8–12 vinyl or PU weight sets, is suitable for most small-group classes. If you work with a mixed group of clients ranging from beginners to advanced, the individual weight plates allow you to adjust the load beyond the standard kit configuration.
Home gyms and advanced home fitness
A single vinyl or PU kit is sufficient for Pump sessions, whether you’re training on your own or following video programmes. You don’t need a rack if the kit remains in a fixed position. If you’re looking for a barbell for classic strength training, the right choice isn’t the SuperPump but a 50 mm Olympic barbell.
Public sports centres and amateur sports clubs
The standard configuration includes Large racks plus PU kits to withstand shared and not always careful use. Sidea manages MEPA supplies with a dedicated price list for public authorities.
Technical glossary
- POWER PUMP
- A music-based group training format that uses light barbells for high-volume repetitions of fundamental movement patterns. First introduced in the 1990s, it remains one of the most popular group classes in commercial gyms.
- BARBELL, Ø 28 mm
- A bar with a standard diameter of 28 millimetres, typically used for pump and curl barbells. Unlike the Olympic diameter of 50 mm, it is not compatible with Olympic bumper plates.
- POLYURETHANE (PU) PLATE
- A load-bearing plate made of polyurethane moulded around a metal core. PU offers greater resistance to abrasion and impact than vinyl, and produces less noise when dropped.
- VINYL SHEET
- A panel with a concrete or metal core, covered with coloured vinyl. A more economical alternative to PU, though with a shorter service life in high-wear applications.
- LOCK COLLAR
- Plate locking system on the barbell. The Pump kits use quick-release locking collars specifically designed for 28 mm diameter plates; these are not interchangeable with 50 mm Olympic collars.
- PAIR OF SPRINGS
- A pair of Ø 28 mm steel springs used as an alternative locking system to lock clamps. Faster fastening, adequate hold for the low load typical of the Pump.
- KIT HOLDER RACK
- A metal frame designed to accommodate several complete Pump kits. It keeps the training room tidy, reduces set-up time and extends the service life of the equipment by preventing it from being left on the floor for long periods.
- COMPLETE KIT
- Basic set comprising a Pump barbell, pairs of weight plates of varying weights, and collars or springs. The vinyl kit weighs a total of 18 kg, whilst the PU kit weighs 19.5 kg.

Domande frequenti - Kit-rack SuperPump
-
Polyurethane (PU) plates have a metal core covered with moulded polyurethane, offering greater resistance to repeated impacts and scratches. Vinyl plates have a more economical and lightweight coating, which is susceptible to damage from impacts against sharp edges. For commercial fitness studios with high footfall, PU is the right choice; for personal training studios, home gyms or settings with less frequent use, vinyl is suitably sized to meet requirements.
-
No. SuperPump barbells have a diameter of 28 mm, whilst Olympic discs have a 50 mm bore. The two sizes are not interchangeable, even with standard adaptors. If you need a barbell for classic strength training with bumper plates or Olympic discs, the correct category is weightlifting and powerlifting barbells, not the SuperPump.
-
The PU kit (item no. 1129) weighs a total of 19.5 kg, including the barbell, pairs of weight plates and collars. The vinyl kit (code 1133) weighs 18 kg in the same configuration. The barbell itself is relatively light, with most of the weight distributed across the modular plates, which allow the load to be varied from exercise to exercise within the same session.
-
The Small Pump Rack is designed for personal training studios and training rooms with up to 10–12 active stations. The Large Pump Rack accommodates more kits and is the ideal solution for commercial training rooms with 20–30 participants. The choice depends on the maximum number of simultaneous users and the space available against a wall or as a room divider. If in doubt, it is more efficient to opt for a larger rack rather than having to add a second unit later on.
-
Yes, both attach to 28 mm diameter barbells and serve the same purpose of securing the weight plates. Lock collars provide a more secure grip for repetitions using weights at the upper limit of the set; steel springs are quicker to fit and remove, which is handy for circuit training where you frequently change weights during the same session.
-
Yes. Pairs of plates (in PU or vinyl), standard and Iron Super Pump barbells, Lock Pump Bar collars and pairs of springs are available as individual items. This is the ideal solution for repairing damaged existing kits or for putting together custom sets with weights not included in the standard kit.
-
No, that’s not what it’s intended for. The kit is designed for Pump classes involving low loads and a high volume of repetitions set to music. For strength training involving heavy squats, bench presses, deadlifts and Olympic lifts, you’ll need 50 mm barbells with the corresponding bumper plates and racks or power racks rated for the load.
-
Allow for at least 25 kits plus a stock of 10-15% (approximately 3 additional kits) to be rotated during routine maintenance or when components need replacing. This ensures that the classroom remains fully operational at maximum capacity at all times, without having to cancel or reschedule workstations during lessons.
-
The Iron version has a more robust finish, designed for more intensive use and greater durability. Both models retain the standard 28 mm diameter and are compatible with the same plates, lock collars and springs. The choice between the two depends on the expected frequency of use and the environment in which they will be used.
-
Pump kits are designed for light loads, and the plates do not undergo free falls in the same way as Olympic bumpers. A standard-thickness rubber sports floor or sports parquet is sufficient. For vinyl kits, a continuous surface without sharp edges is preferable, as this reduces the risk of scratches and tears to the covering during landings and take-offs.
