Our aim with these adjustable weights is to get you fit and strong, in the comfort and privacy of your home. If you want a complete gym experience and a total body workout, with the least amount of space or expense, adjustable dumbbells are the way to go.

Build Your Gym As You Build Your Body 

Start out with the 20kg set. With regular use, you will become stronger and your muscles will become more defined. In time, you’ll be ready to progress to the 30 kg set. And if really powerful muscles are your aim, the 50 kg set awaits.

With our adjustable dumbbells, you don’t need to purchase tons of equipment to get a comprehensive workout. And you don’t have to purchase them all at once, you build your gym as your fitness and finances allow. You’ll get a wide range of weight options within each set.

Make It A Team Effort

Are there other members of your household who would like to get fit? That’s great. Our adjustable dumbbells are suitable for men, women, and older teens. 

While the ladies and teens in the house may prefer the lighter-weight options in the 20kg set, there are options for everyone in our adjustable dumbbell range.

The benefit is that the entire family can increase their fitness, strength, and muscle definition, at a much lower cost than if you all joined a gym. And thanks to the compact nature of these sets, it’s not necessary to dedicate a huge amount of space for home gym equipment.

Mix It Up

Dumbbells are not just for bulking up. They are incredibly versatile. It’s all about how they are used. 

Do you want to increase your cardio fitness? Dumbbells can do that. Incorporate them into your existing routine of lunges, squats, burpees, etc. Perform higher amounts of reps in quick succession with the lower weights in the range, and feel the burn.

Do you want to increase your strength? Dumbbells can do that. Use them as part of your strength training routine. You don’t need a Smith machine or any bulky equipment when you buy one of our space-saving compact adjustable dumbbell sets.

Do you want to build big muscles? Dumbbells can do that. Lower amounts of reps with higher weights will exhaust your muscles and encourage them to grow. But in order to get there, you need to work through the weight options, increasing them as your muscles get stronger and bigger. 

And with such a wide range of weight options available in our adjustable dumbbell sets, you can go from zero to hero without the need for a room full of weight stacks. Our 50 kg set even includes the option of constructing a barbell, to keep your lifting routine powerfully challenging. 

Best Adjustable Dumbbells Buyer’s Guide

best adjustable dumbbells for the price

In this conciseguide to buying dumbbells, we look at the top factors you may consider when buying an adjustable set of dumbbells.

Design 

Adjustable dumbbells are available in a great variety of designs. Certain manufacturers include features such as knurled steel handles, and iron plates coated in black paint, in an attempt to make them look like the more traditional dumbbells that you are familiar with.  

But design differences are about more than just aesthetics. The shape of weight plates and the thickness and design of the bar can also affect the stability and comfort of your workout. 

Our adjustable dumbbells have the traditional design you are familiar with, but with a modern chrome finish. They look good, are durable yet comfortable to use; and best of all, they are affordable. Because you can convert them into a barbell, they offer incredible versatility too.

Materials

Cast iron is the most commonly used metal for traditional fixed dumbbells, as well as for the weight plates of adjustable dumbbells. Iron tends to rust very easily and quickly, however, so look out for dumbbells crafted from corrosion-resistant metals, such as stainless steel.

Our Adjustable Dumbbell components are extremely durable with an attractive high-shine chrome-plating to provide corrosion resistance. That means you’ll enjoy using them for years and they’ll still look good.

If you are thinking of working out in the pool, however, take note that these dumbbells are not the best dumbbells for water aerobics. In fact, dumbbells meant for use in the pool are made of foam and plastic. 

So please do not use our dumbbells in the pool. But by all means, train next to the pool in the summer if that makes you happy.

Weight Range & Increments

Some adjustable dumbbells have small increments between each weight option, while others have large gaps. Fewer increments or weight options could result in you buying 2 separate sets of adjustable dumbbells to enjoy the weight range needed for a truly challenging workout.

That’s not going to be an issue when you buy our adjustable dumbbell sets. You’ll get a comprehensive and challenging workout no matter which set you buy. We cater for all weight lifting needs with weight plates in 0,5 kg, 1,25kg, and 2,5 kg available in each set. 

Our 50 kg adjustable dumbbell set also includes all of the above, as well as 5 kg weight plates, and components to construct a barbell. The ultimate in versatility and convenience, you can have all you need for your home gym with just one of our sets of adjustable dumbbells. 

Fitness Levels

what are the best adjustable dumbbells

Depending on your training needs, an adjustable dumbbell set with a lower weight range may meet all your requirements. But if you later decide that you want to incorporate more weight resistance into your routine, it will be easier if the set you bought offers weight expansion.

Our adjustable dumbbell sets are available in 3 weight categories to match your needs. For beginners, we recommend starting with 2,5 - 5 kg for women and 5-10 kg for men, in the 20 kg set. As you get fitter and stronger, increase the weight. Give your muscles time to get used to it. 

If you have some experience with weights you can go for the 30kg set, but the 50kg set is more suitable for very experienced weightlifters who are serious about muscle gain and know what they are doing. Do not start with the heavier weights if you are a beginner.
