Plastic-free hand weights for your home gym made with natural wood, iron, ceramic, and other safer materials— no PVC, plastic, synthetic rubber, or off-gassing.

Subtle Impacts Sculptural Hand Weights

The most beautiful plastic-free hand weights made of solid cast iron. They’re pretty, so you actually want to leave them out and use them, and help make your gym feel clutter-free. They’re powder-coated, which is non-toxic, safe, chemically inert finish. Come in different shapes and 8, 10, 15, and 20 pound varieties.

Weight it Out Uncoated 100% Steel Hand Weights

Most metal hand weights have a finish on them, and the ingredients are usually not disclosed. These are an exception— made of 100% stainless steel, you can choose uncoated, finished, or gold. Made without plastic, glues, or synthetic rubber. These come in every size. Straightforward, practical, and healthy.

FYI ➜ “Non-toxic” doesn’t have a definition, and I use the words chemical-free, toxin, and toxic on Interior Medicine inaccurately. I do this for practical purposes, for now: they’re accessible terms that allow people to find what they’re looking for, and they’re shorthand for a complicated problem. I made an entire (free!) course about this. Check it out here.
