Apollo fitness equipment covers free weights, plate-loaded strength machines, and commercial cardio in one catalog. The range runs from 5 lb dumbbells to a 28 mm barbell rated at 1,000 lb, plus Smith machines, functional trainers, incline treadmills, and sleds. It suits home gyms, studios, and commercial floors that want durable steel over screens.
Several unrelated companies use the Apollo name in fitness. Model numbers are the fastest way to confirm you are looking at the right catalog. The Apollo equipment stocked at Hamilton Home Fitness carries IR-series identifiers such as IR-U2063, IR-A602, IR-XG-V8, and IR-B11-V4.
The Apollo line splits into four practical groups, and most buyers only need one or two of them.
| Apollo line | What it includes | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Free weights | Dumbbells 5–100 lb, kettlebells 4–48 kg, plates, Olympic bars | Home and garage gyms: building a base |
| Strength machines | Smith machine, functional trainer, hip thrust, power tower | Dedicated rooms and small studios |
| Cardio | Incline treadmills, magnetron exercise bike | Commercial floors and premium home gyms |
| Cross-training | Sleds, plyo boxes, sandbags, dip bars | Conditioning and athlete programming |
Does Apollo make home or commercial equipment? Both, though the catalog leans commercial in format. The machines are full-footprint units rather than folding designs, so plan floor space before ordering.
Start here if you are equipping a room from scratch, because the free-weight side is the deepest part of the Apollo range.
Dumbbells come in two builds. CPU dumbbells run 5 lb to 100 lb individually, from $11.47 up to $229.40, with full sets at $1,261.70 for 5–50 lb and $4,825.00 for the complete 5–100 lb spread. Octagon-coated dumbbells cover 5 lb to 45 lb and sit lower, starting at $6.90—the octagonal head stops them from rolling on a hard floor.
Kettlebells span 4 kg to 48 kg with a rubber base pad, which protects flooring during heavy swings and cleans.
Plates split three ways, and the difference is real:
Barbells range from the OB-86 chrome bar at $162.75, rated to 1,000 lb, up to hard-chromed and ceramic bearing weightlifting bars in men's and women's specs. Bearing bars spin more freely under load, which matters for snatches and cleans but adds little for pressing.

The machine side is where Apollo competes with far pricier commercial brands.
The IR-U2063 Smith machine at $2,399.00 pairs a guided vertical bar path with multiple lock points, plate storage horns, and integrated pull-up grips. A guided bar does not replace free weights, but it makes heavy solo work more repeatable.
The Apollo functional trainer measures 89 x 69 x 41 in and lists at $2,478.45, with a four-piece attachment set available separately at $91.14. Its dual-cable format covers pressing, rowing, and rotational work in one station.
Smaller strength pieces fill the gaps: the IR-A602 plate-loaded hip thrust at $999.00, a power tower at $275.00, a wall-mount pull-up rack at $125.00, and multi-exercise dip bars at $99.99.
On the cardio equipment side, the IR-XG-V8 incline treadmill runs $2,599.00 and the IR-XG-V9 sits at $3,500.00. The IR-B11-V4 magnetron exercise bike lists at $2,399.00 and uses magnetic resistance, so it runs quiet enough for shared spaces.
Is Apollo a good fitness equipment brand? It earns its place on build quality and price-to-spec rather than technology. If you want app ecosystems and streaming classes, look elsewhere. If you want steel that holds up under load, Apollo delivers.
Match the purchase to your space and your training, not to the biggest machine you can afford.
Measure ceiling height before ordering any rack, Smith machine, or power tower. Overhead pressing and pull-ups need clearance well above the frame height, and this is the most common sizing mistake buyers make.

Hamilton Home Fitness ships Apollo equipment nationwide from Cleveland, Tennessee.
Returns run on a 30-day window from purchase. Equipment must come back undamaged and in original packaging with proof of purchase, and a restocking fee applies. Custom imported items are final sale. Read the full shipping and returns policy before ordering large machines.
Freight items need a delivery plan. Confirm doorway width, stair access, and whether you have help on hand for offloading.
What does Apollo equipment cost?
Pricing spans a wide range. Single dumbbells start at $6.90, plates start at $4.65, and complete dumbbell sets reach $4,825.00. Machines run from $99.99 for dip bars up to $3,500.00 for the IR-XG-V9 treadmill.
Does Apollo equipment come with a warranty?
Apollo products carry a manufacturer warranty, and Hamilton Home Fitness honors it on eligible items. Terms vary by product, so call 423.458.2453 to confirm coverage on a specific model before you order.
Which Apollo dumbbells should I buy first?
For most home gyms, a 5–50 lb set covers pressing, rowing, and accessory work without overspending. Add heavier pairs individually as your lifts progress rather than buying the full 5–100 lb spread upfront.
What is the difference between the plate types?
Competition bumpers are color-coded by kilogram and sized for Olympic lifting. Crumb rubber bumpers handle dropped lifts in mixed training. Rubber weight plates are the general-purpose option for pressing and squatting off a rack.
Do Apollo machines require assembly?
Yes. Racks, Smith machines, and functional trainers ship partially assembled and need on-site build time. Allow for two people and basic tools, and clear the space before delivery arrives.
Can I get help planning a full gym layout?
Yes. Hamilton Home Fitness offers a gym design service for buyers outfitting a room, studio, or facility, which is worth using before committing to large-footprint machines.
Apollo gives you commercial-format equipment without commercial-brand pricing, backed by a catalog deep enough to build an entire room from one source.
