I love these weights. After having 2 kids, I was pretty out of shape and decided to get back into working out. I came across these adjustable weights and hey have been life changing! I love that you can make them as light or as heavy as I want depending on the exercise. They are easy to swap out, but it does take a couple minutes to change out all 4 sides. It comes with a little foam cylinder to help hold the discs in place if you use the medium weight. The grip could be better - they can get a little hard to hold if you’re sweaty, but that’s really the only negative thing I have to say. Love them! Read more

These weights are a good value. I bought them because I wanted to start out with a really light weight and work up to a slightly heavier weight without buying multiple sets. These are perfect. I don't plan on changing the amount of weight during a workout, so that shouldn't be an issue. However, you might want to factor that in before you purchase. It would be time consuming to change out the weight mid-workout. These are sturdy and well made. It's easy to change the weight. All you have to do is unscrew the end cap and remove however many bars you want and screw the cap back on. I recommend removing an even number of bars from each end for stability. Also, make sure you put the foam piece in there when you remove a bar to prevent shaking. All the other weights on Amazon were either sold out or over priced. Maybe due to the virus? These were well priced and arrived quickly. I'm very happy with my purchase. Read more

(I promised an update after working out with the dumbbells) I've used them in several workout sessions now, and I'm still really happy with my purchase. They are very comfortable to hold, and changing up the weight isn't too bad. I still wouldn't try to alternate weight amounts because that would double your workout time. But if you switch them out between series of circuits, it won't take too long. More details below -- specifically about the exact weight of the configurations. ---- original review --- A great way to add more weights (I was looking for 6lb, 7lb, 8lb, 10lb) without spending a fortune. I haven't worked out with these yet, but will update when I do. When I strength-train, I use circuits of 2-3 different exercises, 3 times each. These wouldn't be convenient to swap weights within the same circuit, but they seem OK to swap when I'm changing circuits, if needed. The set comes with 2 hand weights, each consisting of the empty hand weight, 2 large blocks, and 16 small blocks. You typically add the weight blocks in pairs -- one on each end so that it's balanced, but I tested it and you can use an odd number of small weights without causing any problems. And you can include or exclude the large blocks. - but always use these in pairs. The weights as listed in the instructions are not correct. I knew the docs weren't accurate when it said that you add 6 small blocks to go from 6.6 lbs to 8.8 lbs but then you add 4 more small blocks to go from 8.8 lbs to 11 lbs (also an increase of 2.2 lbs) Here's the real deal - yes, I'm pedantic, so I actually weighed all the parts. These are averages - each small block's weight is slightly different (by a tenth of an ounce here and there): The empty hand weight is 2.37 lbs 2 large blocks weigh 2.45 lbs 2 small blocks weigh 0.775-0.788 lbs Hand weight plus 2 large: 4.82 (vs 4.4 lbs that they claim) Add 2 small: 5.60 Add 2 more small: 6.38 Add 2 more small: 7.16 (vs 6.6) Add 2 more small: 7.94 Add 2 more small: 8.73 Add 2 more small: 9.51 (vs 8.8) Add 2 more small: 10.29 Add final 2 small: 11.07 (vs 11.0) I wish the documentation was more correct in this part, but as long as you know what the actual weight is, you can work accordingly.

Like discussed by other shoppers, the math behind the weights doesn't seem to add up (I don't have a scale, unfortunately, so I can't clarify what the true weights are). Despite that, the weights arrived in good condition, are easy to modify by screwing on/off the end caps, and are comfortable (rubberized grips and not too huge for my hands, even as someone who is 5 feet tall). The bars seem fairly secure when caps are on - only rattle a bit when in use, but not enough to be distracting. Probably wouldn't be suitable for changing weights quickly throughout a work out, but it works for my purpose. Seem to be good value for the price for someone who is looking to do light weight training and increase difficulty gradually over time. Read more

I love this set! I did a lot of research and this is one of the few adjustable sets that goes from 2.2 lbs. up to 11 lbs. each. It is easy to open and remove or add more of the little units. I started with just the one big middle one in each, which is 4.4 lbs. and will add more each week as I build up my muscles. Love the pink and gray, too, so it is easy to tell that this one is Mom's!
