I bought my Eleiko bar back in the late 80s, early 90s,
and I have had it ever since. That is 20 plus years,
and my bar is still in mint condition, there is
not an ounce of rust on it, and I love my bar.

To me Eleiko has always been the gold standard,
it is the best piece of weightlifting equipment that you can buy. The Eleiko bar that we bought in 1979, has been here for almost 40 years, and is used every single workout to this very day. we have had many national Champions
lift, train, and compete on that bar.
