PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5 to 50-Pounds per Dumbbell Set Review

PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5 to 50-Pounds per Dumbbell Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree that these are the best adjustable dumbbells on the market.However, I would add a few caveats.For starters, it is important to have the PowerBlocks on a level surface and make sure you insert the pin straight across rather than at an angle.If you don't, it is possible that a plate could fall and hit you even with the elastic backup mechanism.It is also very important to put the pin assembly together right side up.If you don't, the magnets that hold this assembly in place don't engage.

On exercises like OVERHEAD triceps extensions, the points above are particularly important.While I think this product is great, it does limit range of motion in some exercises such as upright rows.The dumbbell is rather long and this could be a problem depending upon your frame.However, I wouldn't worry about the square design.I find using these dumbbells to be quite comfortable and the padded grips certainly help.

While this product is quite expensive, it's also the best out there that I know of and I shopped around carefully.It also seems to be the safest and is certainly more convenient, takes up less room and even costs less than a set of full dumbbells that can cover the same weight ranges.

If money is an issue for you, you may want to consider getting the model of dumbbells one tier down from these that adjust in 5 lb. increments and then purchasing adjustable wrist weights in 0.5 increments.This will give you about the same effect for less cost.

Product Description:
The only dumbbell system that can expand to meet your strength needs, PowerBlock dumbbells are the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training. PowerBlocks work intuitively. Rather than requiring you to buy a room full of dumbbells, PowerBlocks act just like a weight stack at the gym, with a weight handle that fits inside the first weight, which fits inside the second, which fits inside the third, etc. When you want to change weights, you simply move the weight selector pin into the appropriate slot and you're set. As you lift the core, all the weights above the selector pin are lifted at the same time, turning your 3-pound dumbbell into a 6-pound dumbbell, or your 6-pound dumbbell into a 12-pound dumbbell. Not only is the system remarkably easy to use, but it's also cost- and space-efficient, as a single pair of dumbbells can do the work of dozens.
This personal trainer set is a hybrid system that employs the weight stack from PowerBlock's Personal Set and the handles of the Elite Set. As a result, users can achieve every 2.5-pound jump within the weight range of 2.5 to 50 pounds per dumbbell, in effect doing the job of 40 individual weights. Even better, the weights are more compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells, with a padded handle that protects people with weak wrists. Best of all, the free weights are terrific whether you're trying to build muscle mass, firm and tone your physique, or get rid of unwanted body fat. The personal trainer set is not expandable and is compatible with the Elite/Pro weight stand. It also carries a limited 10-year warranty.

We ordered this item along with a bench set for our sons 14th birthday. Although this is a GOOD item- we purchased together to save $$ (it was more to purchase a barbell separate) As we got it together we learned it does NOT FIT on the bench set it was offered with. It should NOT have been put together as a "buy together to save". Beings we live in AK and shipping was horrendous as it was- we chose to just "make do" rather than ship back/reorder.

Kettleworx 6 Week Transformation 6 DVD set (Kettleworks) Review

Kettleworx 6 Week Transformation 6 DVD set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm like many who watched the infomercial and wondered if this workout routine was a bunch of BS.I'm almost 50 and have always struggle with my weight.I purchased my set of DVDs at the end of April and recently completed my 32nd workout session.I workout with these DVDs every other day and have never felt better.Tomorrow, I'll be doing "Week 4" from the Resistance DVD.I usually do a specific routine at least three time before moving onto the next routine.I do switch frequently between DVDs (Cardio, Core, Resistance, as well as the DVDs from the Ultimate Body Collection).Just do whatever works best for you.All I can say is that if you're willing to give it an honest try, and stick with it, you will not be disappointed.I remember my first session.I was extremely out of breath.I kept thinking I'm probably too old to do these exercises.I was having difficulty doing some of the exercises and keeping up.I've since moved from the 5lb kettlebell to the 10lb four weeks ago.Definitely recommend starting with the 5lb until you get used to the exercises.Now I look forward to each exercise session.Each routine last 26+ minutes.There is a 3 minute warm up; 20+ with actual exercises; and then 3 minute cool down.Three times a week and you'll see results and feel better in a month - guaranteed!What compelled me to make the purchase was the idea of getting a good workout in 20 minutes.More information is found on the KettleWorx website [...].I recommend checking out the KettleNews section of the website.Specifically, the KettleWorx KettleBell Program on WAGA Atlanta (April 6th, 2009).Here Ryan explains hybrid movements and after burn effect.Good luck to all of you!

PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Adjustable 3 to 24-Pounds per Dumbbell Set Review

PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Adjustable 3 to 24-Pounds per Dumbbell Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this product because it is compact and not as cumbersome as the larger sets.For most people, this will suit their needs and they can get an upgradable set later on.The small size allows almost everyone to perform conventional exercises with proper form.With the larger PowerBlocks, this is a concern because of added bulk and length.

The square shape of these dumbbells allows the manufacturer to put more weight in a smaller place.This makes these much smaller than other rounded adjustable dumbbells over the same weight range and increments.

From a safety perspective, I also think these are the safest and most rugged adjustable dumbbells.However, this does not mean that nothing can go wrong.You need to be conscious of inserting the pins straight across and the pin mechanism right side up so the magnets engage to hold the pins together.There is a also a backup elastic band to prevent a plate from falling, but this might not save you in an overhead triceps extension.

This product is rugged and well made.It is less likely to break then some other brands and the concept is simple behind how the adjustments work.In other words, there are less things to break or go wrong and I believe these can take a fairly hard fall and still be fine.I haven't dropped mine, but I base this assumption on the way they are designed and the quality of the materials and how they are put together.

I would definitely purchase these if you do circuit training and want to keep your pulse up.If you become serious, you can buy an expandable set over a larger range later.This is great entry point product.

PowerBlock Elite 90 Adjustable 5 to 90-Pounds per Dumbbell Set Review

PowerBlock Elite 90 Adjustable 5 to 90-Pounds per Dumbbell Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After years of collecting the old standard hex dumbells, and trying to maintain a home gym in the city in various apartments (usually in the common basement) I found the PowerBlock dumbells.For someone without a dedicated room (with lots of space) for their workout equipment, these are fantastic dumbells.They go up to 85 or 90lbs without the add-on kit, and they are super fast and easy to change the weight. They are pricey, but considering the amount of dumbells they replace, well worth it, for the right user.

After using the PowerBlock setup for a couple years I came across IronMaster, another brand with adjustable dumbells.They go to 75lbs without the add-on kit, and cost a little less than the PowerBlock dumbells.I have BOTH in my home gym now, and I will go over the pros and cons of each for those of you trying to decide on a set up like this.

PowerBlocks:

Pros: Well made, comfortable grip, fast and easy to change the weight in 10lb increments, nice stand included, made in USA, ability to go up to 85-90lbs as is, and 120lbs with add-on. Excellent for exercises where you change weight quickly or frequently. Square dumbells don't roll.

Cons: Funky design with 4 pillars around your hand/wrist. It works, but it makes me nervous at higher weights that if I were to drop them I could somehow catch my wrist in there and hurt myself.Difficult to quickly switch weights in increments smaller than 10lbs.This is a problem for many exercises.Although they are sturdy, and have never given out on me, they rattle and the plates move a little when you use them. Again, they seem sturdy but when doing shoulder or bench press it's a little disconcerting.You need to make sure the magnetic pins are fully inserted and in the right spot or disaster could ensue.The dumbells get long when using a lot of weight which can be somewhat awkward for certain exercises.

Overall:These dumbells are best for exercises where you change the weight frequently, or quickly, and work best for non-press exercises in my experience. The add-on kit is a nice option, but the dumbells are already pretty long at 85-90lbs, so it may be impractical for a lot of exercises.They were the first of their kind, they are still a serious contender in this ring.

IronMaster:

Pros: Well Made. More traditional looking & feeling dumbells.Up to 75lbs as is, and 125lbs with kit.Not as long as PowerBlocks, no awkward pillars to stick your hand in between.Nice stand included.Great bench and other accessories available (better than PowerBlock bench after using both). No rattling or moving of plates when in use.Sturdy and well balanced and made in USA. Excellent for press exercises. Just as quick to change the weight in 2.5lb or 5lb increments as it is by 10lbs or more.

Cons: Takes significantly longer to change the weight than PowerBlocks.For press exercises I find this to be less of an issue, but for curls and other quick change exercises it's a bit of a pain.No locking mechanism for the screw in pins.This has never been an issue, or caused a dumbell to fall apart during use, but there's no locking mechanism (or magnet such as PowerBlocks) just friction preventing the pin from unscrewing.I'm not too worried about it, but it has crossed my mind.

Overall: These dumbells are best for users who use higher weights for press exercises and want the traditional look and feel of a dumbell you might find in the gym.They don't rattle or move, and are very solid.They also go higher in weight than the PowerBlocks with the add-on kit, and cost less.Not as good for users using ligher weight and requiring quick changes.

Conclusion:For me, having both pairs is a pretty good set up, but If I were to choose just one, I would stick with the IronMaster.I like them for their sturdiness and lack of rattling especially when using heavy weight.In addition to the IronMaster, I would buy a cheaper set of adjustable dumbells with a lower maximum weight (50lbs maybe) that could be easily adjusted in 5lb (or smaller) increments to use for curls and kickbacks etc...and stick with the IronMaster for the heavier weights, where I really don't mind the extra minute of rest to change the weight! In fact, I think I will sell my PowerBlocks and get a set up like this, and have some money left over for Muscle Milk! :)

P.S. the IronMaster adjustable bench is the BEST I have used!

Boasting black powder-coated weight plates in a traditional square shape, the free weights are ideal whether you're trying to build muscle mass, firm and tone your physique, or get rid of unwanted body fat.

Body Solid GOWT Olympic Plate Tree Bar Holder Review

Body Solid GOWT Olympic Plate Tree Bar Holder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Over all it's a nice, sturdy, pretty good looking unit for storing your weights.However I have one rather significant beef with it.The distance between the top two pipes is about ¼" too short!I have a set of Body Solid rubber coated weights in 45, 35, 25, 10, 5 and 2 ½ pound increments - pretty standard load out.The 45s and 35s on the bottom no problem, then the 25s and 10s, no problem.However, nothing can fit on the top pipe above the 25 pound plates - even the little 2 ½ inch weights hit the 25 pounders below.Rather annoying given both the weights and the tree come from the same manufacturer.It's not the end of the world and I just keep the 2 ½ pounders on the floor since I don't use them much anyway but the purpose of the tree was to get them all nicely stacked.Not sure if the weights are just a pinch larger than normal because of the rubber coating or if the tree itself is a little short - I don't have another set of weights to test against.

As you move the dial, the handle latches on to a different combination of steel weight plates, with a window display showing which weight setting you've chosen.

PowerBlock Sport Tray Review

PowerBlock Sport Tray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the classic PowerBlock set just a few weeks ago. Having read a lot of reviews it became clear that a tray or stand was going to make using the blocks much easier. I didn't want to spend 100+ on a stand nor did I really have space for a stand in my apartment. I purchased the tray and have found it very useful. Changing the blocks on carpet without a tray can be difficult and resting the blocks on a hardwood floor or on a table could easily scratch the surface given their weight.

The tray provides a very solid surface that you don't have to worry about scratching or denting. Most of all it makes changing the weights easy. I bought these specifically for use with the P90X program. With the tray I am able to change to different weights quickly enough to keep up with the pace of the P90X videos.

It is a simple product that does exactly what it advertises. Recommended.

Weighted Belt w/20 lb.

I started a walking program about 6 months ago. I found a very steep hill that I walk up & down. I've taken off 25 pounds, but I have reached a point where I am either going to have to add more hills or start running, niether of which I want to do. I bought this belt & started with only 6 pounds in the belt & let me tell you, it makes quite a difference! I feel the difference walking on a flat surface, but when doing hills, it is amazing how much more of a workout 6 pounds can make!

The belt is very comfortable. It doesn't pinch or bind. It has 10 pouches around the outside which each hold a 2 pound sand pack. It has a long velcro strap so you can really cinch it in place so there is zero slippage while walking.

I chose a weighted belt over a weighted vest because I think in the summer it will be cooler. I found another brand of weighted belt, but it was much more expensive.

This is definitely one of my better fitness purchases. Highly recommended!

Rubber Grip Oly Set, Chrome Bar Review

Rubber Grip Oly Set, Chrome Bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The weights themselves are great. The rubber coating makes them easy to handle and they seem well made however they have a terrible smell that won't go away. The manufacturer suggests dish detergent or Windex and the smell "should subside". The dish detergent does nothing and the Windex only slightly helps. 3 months later with a lot of cleaning work they still smell up half the house. For $500 go buy some other weights and spend your time working out instead of cleaning.
