“Been slowly-but-surely building a home weight lifting routine for the last couple of years and needed to take my progressive overload to the next level after plateauing many months ago. I wanted to spend about $200 on a set of dumbbells but after doing research and watching a ton of review videos, I just kept coming back to PowerBlock. Not to mention my older brother has had a pair for over two decades and couldn't stop yapping about how amazing they are. I realized if I want to invest in my physical health, I need to spend a few extra dollars, so I said F it and dove in.
From the moment they arrived, to my first lifting session, I knew I made a great decision. These weight feel amazing and have already improved my form + progression in keeping my body fit and healthy. They are very clearly made to last and feel incredible. In a world where businesses are being forced to cut expenses everywhere they can, creating products that feel cheap and of low quality, PowerBlock spared no expense.
If you are on the fence of whether or not you should spend the money, or if these are the right weight for you, let me be one point of data to help you make your decison: buy these weights!
To your health!”
“So far I've enjoyed using my PowerBlocks at all weight levels. The small weights in the handle are very snug, though the larger plates do have a tiny bit of play/wiggle that makes it feel not quite as solid. Still pleased with the purchase.”
“Getting back to strength training after rotator cuff injury and several years off. Opted for dumbbells and simple bench rather than home gym machine or full set of dumbbells. Very pleased with the Pro 50s. Like the easy adjustment in 5 lb increments; TPR grips are comfortable and secure. Very little movement during exercises, only minor shifting of adder weights. Huge space saver and feel solid, durable and high quality. Order and delivery experience flawless.”
“I recently ordered the Pro 50 set for my husband for Father's Day, but they are secretly for me as well! The adjustment on the handle that releases the bonus 2.5 lb weights was bent and very hard to move. I contacted the company and they were very easy to work with, immediately sending me a replacement handle. We are really enjoying the Pro 50 set! It's very quick and easy to change weight amounts and I love that it has the 2.5 lb. weights, especially for women. It's a big jump on the arms to go up 5 lbs., which is how most other dumbell sets are designed. I also love how compact this set is! We could not be happier with our purchase. :)”
“I was delighted to find that these dumbbells can be increased in 2.5 lbs increments. Changing the weights is rather simple. It is not as fast as some other brands, but having the 2.5 lbs increments is more important for me. Now I can quickly go from one exercise to the next with different weights. They look great on the nightstand in my bedroom. too.
PowerBlock should fix the error in the specs for the Pro 50. They erroneously did not list 12.5, 22.5, 32.5, and 42.5 as of 6/26/2024.”
