Not really a question, maybe a survey.

For my gym, the machines are mostly weights in lbs, besides the assited dips machine.

For the fixed dumbbells, all in lbs.

But, all the plates are in KG. I think the barbells are also 20kg each without any extra weights.

I would guess the gym in US to be "lbs" all the way?

Most gym in the US are lbs.. but the larger weights (above 45lbs) are in KG..

Most dumbbells and barbells are in Lbs as well.

my gym is all lbs. except there are some kg's by the squat racks... i guess people use them if they are like olympians but mainly we have geri's and little kids so they dont get used much
