Ironworks – Gym Equipment Generator for Blender

👉 See all my Blender addons on BlendKit >

Ironworks builds a complete gym inside Blender: 228 ready designs across 22 kinds of equipment, from an Olympic barbell loaded with color-coded bumper plates to a power rack, a cable crossover, a 45 degree leg press, a curved treadmill or a turf sled lane. Every piece is modeled at its real size from manufacturer dimensions, with the small parts that make it believable: knurled bar shafts, sleeves and collars, numbered rack holes, J-hooks and safeties, pulleys and cables, weight stacks with selector pins, pop-pin seat posts, stitched upholstery and console screens.

Pick a design from the picture gallery, then change anything with one click: bar type, total weight in kilograms or pounds (the plates are loaded the way a lifter would), plate style, frame, pad and accent colors, metal finish and condition from new to abandoned. Surprise Me makes a random piece or a new look for the selected one.

Photoreal PBR materials that also work in game engines, with wear, dirt and chalk. Labels and numbers are image decals, never mesh text. Each piece is one mesh with a light edge bevel; Make Real turns it into a plain mesh.

Requires Blender 4.2 or newer. Tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Installation

In Blender open Edit, Preferences, Get Extensions, then use Install from Disk and pick the gym_equipment_generator zip.

Usage

• Open the Gym tab in the 3D viewport sidebar (N). With nothing selected, pick a category (Weights, Benches, Racks, Machines, Cardio, Functional), click the picture to choose a design and press Add to Scene. You can also use Shift+A, Gym Equipment.
• Select a piece to edit it: the picture and arrows switch its design, the buttons below change its main choices (bar type, weight, plate style, machine type...), the swatches set frame, pad and accent colors, and the condition buttons age it from New to Abandoned.
• Weights are in kilograms or pounds; switching the unit converts them. Plates are loaded per side like a real lifter would.
• More Options holds the rare settings; Wear & Detail holds wear, dirt, chalk, the random seed and the detail level.
• Surprise Me makes a random piece, or a new look for the selected one. Make Real turns a piece into a plain mesh.

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Are the models usable in game engines?

Yes. Each piece is one mesh with UVs and standard PBR materials (base color, roughness, metallic, normal). Use Make Real to apply the bevel and export.

Are the sizes real?

Yes. Bars, plates, dumbbells, benches, racks and machines follow published manufacturer and federation dimensions, and the total barbell weight adds up from the real bar and plate weights.
