PRx 3-Peg + Weight Wing Plate Storage Review

Who this is for

Having a good set of weight plates is awesome, but you need a place to put them. The PRx 3-Peg + Weight Wing is for somebody whose plates are on the floor or leaning on the wall, and who doesn't have floor space for a weight tree.

It makes the most sense if you're doing the whole PRx home gym setup. That's how we're using it.

Where it's installed

This is in my parents' home gym. I set that gym up for them with a space-saving approach, so getting the plates up on the wall was a big part of the plan.

It's the piece over there I'm most jealous of. At my own home gym, all the plates are still on the floor, and I need to get a storage solution figured out.

What you get

There are three places to store your plates, plus the wing for the smaller plates. It all goes on the wall on a single stud.

What's really cool is that it goes together like a puzzle. The pieces fit right into each other, and the wings do the same thing. They just fit right in.

PRx rates the 3-peg at 270 pounds. The Weight Wing is for plates under 9.5 inches and is rated for 50 pounds per side, so it's for your small plates and not for stacking 45s.

Installing it

The install itself is pretty simple. It comes with lag bolts and instructions. You find a stud with a stud finder and you screw it in.

My catch was the wall. We were limited on space, and I had one stud left to use. There were shelves in the way, so I had to be real careful about where it went so we could still get the plates on and off. I got creative and made it work.

So give yourself some extra time, and look at what's around that stud before you start drilling. I did it by myself.

Loaded up

Once it was on the wall and loaded with weights, it looked pretty freaking sweet. That's one of the things I love about PRx. They pay attention to the details that keep a home gym space efficient and looking nice.

On install day we didn't have the smaller plates yet, so the wings were just kind of a spacer. Since then the small plates have gone on the wings, and that's what they're there for.

How it's held up

I haven't made a separate follow-up video on the storage.

But I talked about it again in my six-month video on the bumper plates, and I called the setup awesome. It's still holding the plates and it's still the thing I wish I had at my house.

Would I buy it again?

Yes. If you're building a PRx home gym, I'd highly recommend getting the winged plate storage with it.

If you already have a weight tree you're happy with and the floor space to keep it, you don't need this. And measure your wall first, because where your studs are decides where this goes.
