ATIVAFIT Adjustable Dumbbell Set 25 LB Pair with Storage Box 5-in-1 Free Weights with Quick Dial Safety Lock

I've been using these for over a year now and they have served me very well. You just have to understand their limitations- the main one being that you don't want to drop them on the floor. The other is that the max weight is 27.5 lbs. So yes, if you're very strong and you like going to failure, you might be a little disappointed. However, if you're an average person like me and just want to get in a decent home workout, these could be perfect for you. The adjustment mechanism is easy to use and the weight increments make a lot of sense. They start out with 2.5-lb increases with the lower weights and jump up to 5-lb increases at the higher end. You can do anything you would do with normal dumbbells- bench presses, shoulder presses, curls, triceps extensions, rows, flys, lunges, etc. The plates do move around a little bit, which can be scary at first. However, I've never had one fall out on me and over time you will develop trust in the equipment. I do feel like they aren't perfectly evenly weighted, meaning that you'll want the two red bar things aligned when you're doing your exercises. Maybe that's all in my head. In my mind those things are a small price to pay for the space and money you save with these. Here's my setup- I have a squat rack and associated bar/plates for heavy, going-to-failure type of workouts and then I have these in the corner for high-rep stuff or for when I'm not going to failure and don't feel like swapping out plates all the time. Yes, I know that's a weird, lazy thing to avoid when I'm trying to work out, but that's how the human mind works sometimes. These really make my home gym a lot more versatile and they take up almost no space. The price is very low to compare to other expensive one out there , but you just have to think about how much it would cost to buy all the dumbbells you would want. Then you might buy something like a 12.5-lb dumbbell not knowing if you'll ever actually use that one or not. Also, think about how much a monthly gym membership costs, plus the associated transportation. Not to mention the time wasted going back and forth to the gym. If you get these plus a good quality bench (don't go cheap on the bench), you're going to be able to stay in shape if you're motivated to do so. Read more

These are my fourth adjustable dumbbells I have owned, and these are by far the best. They are comfortable to use because the handle is well cushioned and wide enough for a man's hands. My wife likes the feel too, so these are perfect for everyone. The weight adjustment is simple, effective and fast. So my wife and I can share these as changing the weights is so trivial. I have no complaints but note that with every lift of the dumbbell, you hear a clicking sound as the weight shifts. This is true for all the adjustable dumbbells I have used and it no longer bothers me. But it may bother some, and if so, you should not buy any of these adjustable dumbbells except for the ones you remove the end cap and add or remove the weights. Those do not make noise at all. But you are giving up the convenience and speed of changing the weights quickly. This is the best buy I have made on Amazon in two years. I could not be happier. Read more

So Happy to have found these during quarantine. If you can grab them in stock I would recommend! Note the weight is 27lbs PER dumbbell! This confused me at first but the weight shown on the dumbbell is not lbs, but rather kg. To convert to Lbs basically double the number shown (ie, 2.5 kg is about 5lbs and so on... 12.5 kg is a little over 25lbs). Easy to adjust the weight and seem sturdy overall. Great space saver!!! The weight adjustments are plenty heavy for me to do basic lifting however I am only 5’2 110lbs and looking to tone up; if you are really into lifting heavy I would get the next level or two up. I ordered two dumbbells and both came well packaged. Shipping was about 1 week. I only gave 4 stars as one of the plastic base holders was cracked/damaged during transit however the seller was very responsive and is shipping out a replacement base when they can. Will update review if it comes. Read more

Glad I put this item in my amazon cart... so that I was alerted to price changes. Was able to snag one of these for $71 which I think is a great deal. Easy to use, right out of box. Switching to different weights is straightforward and easy to do between sets of exercises. Great weight increments: 5.5lbs,11 lbs, 16.5lbs, 22lbs, 27.5lbs) I may not use the higher settings much, but it's worth it for the 16.5lbs and 22lbs,. Before I was trying to hold two small dumbbells at same time, to get to 16 or 22lbs... and always afraid of dropping one. Great design feature in my opinion is the ends of the dumbbell -- which are like big round hockey pucks. You feel secure holding the dumbbell crossways, with both hands.... you've got a good grip. Also, I actually cautiously swung this dumbbell like a kettle bell, while holding it in middle (NOT by the weight stack itself). And I did NOT swing it hard, or high, or at highest weight setting. Seemed ok with that movement. Read more

I am an unfit guy. If I had 5 different weight sizes going on in a room, people would be asking “Just why? You’re not fit. What do you do with these? Put them on your George Forman grill lid because you’re too weak to press down on a panini for 3 minutes?” I can hide these bad boys in half the space in my closet and let them collect dust without that pesky monthly gym membership to ignore. When I pick them up they seem very sturdy and easy to move the weight a adjustment peg. It is a spring mechanism you pull out (no screwing and unscrewing needed) Not sure if the adjusters were sticky at first or if I got used to the mechanism, but it’s really quite effortless. They make a subtle ‘clink’ noise if you rotate them like when doing a curl. They feel sturdy and secure in that I didn’t feel like the plates could fall off. If you are a fit individual I’d imagine you could pick these up like 1,000,000 and be swole and stuff. Read more
