A combination weight plate/dumbbell may be used alone as a dumbbell or in numbers on a barbell. The weight plate dumbbell is plate-like in appearance, but it is smaller in diameter and thicker than a traditional weight plate of similar weight. The weight plate/dumbbell includes a central aperture having a handle extending across it. The handle is thinner in diameter than the thickness of the plate and the aperture is sized so that a person can grasp the handle and pick up the weight even if it is lying flat on the floor. A barbell having slotted collars can accept the weight plate/dumbbells for barbell-type exercises.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plate-like member that has a first side and a second side, an aperture that extends from the first side to the second side, and a handle that extends across the aperture.
The member may be used alone as a dumbbell or in combination with other members on a barbell.
