Eleiko Reviews

I ordered a bar and some plates from Eleiko, the quality is hard to argue with. The steel feels great, the finish is super clean, and everything showed up looking really well-made with no rough edges or random marks. I’ve used gear from other brands I’ve been loyal to for years, so I was kind of hoping I wouldn’t like this as much as I do. But yeah, Eleiko definitely feels premium. The only things holding me back from giving it 5 stars are the price and the fact that shipping took a bit longer than I expected.

Eleiko.com looks good, and I could find the products without too much trouble. But yeah, the site felt a little slow at times. A bit of clicking around. More than I expected just to compare a few things. The filters could definitely be better too. Checkout was fine. Not confusing, just not exactly smooth either. Overall, it’s a decent website, but for a premium brand, I kind of expected it to feel easier to use.

I tried to do an exchange and it turned into this long frustrating process where everything took way longer than it should have, support barely gave me any useful help, and I kept feeling like I was just waiting around with no clear answer.

i found the things i was looking for, and most of it was actually available. easy trip overall

I had a small issue with my bar and reached out to Eleiko for warranty support. They did get back to me and asked for the usual stuff like photos, order info, and a few details about what was going on.

They did end up sorting it out, so I can’t say it was a bad experience, but something felt a bit off with the pace of the whole process. I had to follow up a couple times, and it took longer than I expected. Not terrible, just not as smooth as I hoped.

I went with Eleiko plates because I figured they’d be really dialed in weight-wise. I mean, that was kind of the whole reason I spent the extra money on them in the first place.
They do look great, and the finish feels nice, but when I checked them on my scale, a few were off more than I expected. Not way off, but still enough that I was like, okay, wait, for this price I thought they’d be closer.
Customer service was fine, just not especially helpful. Maybe I just got a slightly unlucky batch, but overall I’m a bit disappointed.

I’ve noticed I tend to prefer knurling that gives a steady grip without biting into my hand, and this one leans a bit too sharp for me. The pattern definitely holds well, but after using it for a bit, the texture feels more intense than I’d like

I was hoping this would hold up better, but the finish started chipping after just a few weeks. Disappointing, honestly

I ordered a few things from Eleiko and, i was kind of expecting the usual situation where my order somehow gets delayed or something shows up damaged, because that always seems to happen to me. But the delivery actually came quickly, the tracking updated like it should, and everything arrived in good shape. I’m giving 4 stars because the dispatch still took a bit longer than I was hoping, which was frustrating, but overall the shipping experience was better than I expected.

I had a quick question about my order and, to be fair, Eleiko handled it really well. They got back to me fast, kept things simple, and didn’t make me jump through hoops. Really appreciate the straightforward help.

I expected a lot more from Eleiko since the name gets hyped up so much, but after trying it I just don’t really see what makes it worth the price and it feels overpriced for what you actually get, not terrible or anything, just not as special as I thought it would be.

I’m really happy with it. It looks great in my home gym and gives the space a clean, polished feel. The design is simple but still feels classy, without looking like it’s trying too hard...

The box showed up dented, which was annoying, but luckily everything inside was fine. I guess that means there’s technically nothing to report or replace, which feels like one of those policy loopholes where damaged packaging doesn’t really count unless the item is broken. Overall, it worked out, but the shipping could definitely be better...

I had a problem with my order and felt kind of trapped for a bit, like I wasn’t sure what to do next. I emailed support and it took a little while to hear back, but once they got to it, they fixed the issue quickly. Everything’s fine now

I’ll give eleiko credit, the gear feels super solid and well-made. You can tell it’s quality stuff right away, but wowww, the prices are hard to swallow. I knew it was going to be expensive, but a few things still felt kind of over the top for what you actually get.

Shipping and the total cost pushed it even further for me. I’m happy with the quality, but value-wise, I don’t think I’d buy again unless there was a biiig sale or some kind of deal.

After about a month, the bar just didn’t feel the same. The knurling got worn down way faster than I expected, which was disappointing.

I had a bad feeling when I first noticed a little rubbing on the coating, and unfortunately I was right. It looked really nice out of the box, but the finish started chipping and wearing off way sooner than I expected. For the price, I thought it would hold up better.

My order showed up just like it was listed on the site. The sizes were right and everything matched what I thought I was buying, which I always appreciate. I did look everything over when it arrived just to be sure, but from what I could tell, there weren’t any mistakes with the order.

The bar spin feels really smooth and works great, which I’m happy with. I just wish I didn’t have to wait so long to finally try it out

I ordered some plates and the delivery date kept getting pushed around, which was frustrating. Support did respond when I reached out, but the answers were vague enough that I still felt like I had to keep chasing for updates. To be fair, everything arrived in good condition in the end, just much later than I expected.
