Dumbbells, a type of free weights

Weights are exercise equipment used for strength training. The term is typically used as a shortened form of the term free weights, but it can also refer to any exercise machine that uses weighted plates to generate the major opposing force.

Generally, 'weights' come in two derivations: standard plates and olympic plates.
