Great quality!
I've had my urethane series dumbells for a couple years now and they still work as well as the day I got them! I'll always be a customer!

PowerBlock, Inc. was founded in 1991 by specialty fitness equipment designers who became friends while designing equipment for several companies including Parabody and Cybex. While searching for specific needs in the fitness industry, they were drawn to the large amounts of dumbbells they would encounter in the specialty fitness stores they visited. There had to be a better way of providing fitness enthusiasts with the performance advantage of hand weights without the space and restrictions of old fashioned racks and dumbbells. It was here the idea for PowerBlock was born. After two years of extensive testing, PowerBlock began sales of the newly coined "selectorized dumbbell". Since then, PowerBlock has continued to be the leader in the fitness industry as we constantly strive to out do ourselves in the pursuit of excellence.

My powerblocks arrived quickly and in perfect condition. They are incredibly simple to use and the expansion sets are easy to add on.

Don't even bother with the competition. Trust me I tried already.

Such an elegant solution to a home gym. The unit takes up less space and gives me more options than hand weights. They're easy and safe to use and most of all, a perfect way to motivate myself.

My trainer recommended I get these as we work out in my home. Love them. Easy to adjust the weights and easier to hold and work out with . best investment I made .

I actually went through two sets of adjustable dumbbells before sending them back and getting the Urethane Set and I love them. They look sweet, they feel really high quality and you absolutely can't get any better than the lifetime warranty. I first tried out the bowflex, which look nice and are easy to change, but they felt like they would break in a few months, only went up to 90lbs and were huge so I sent those back. Then, I did a fair amount of research and found this awesome post from a surgeon who had done an extensive amount of research and he recommended the powerblocks due to their durability. And the more I looked everything out there the more I was convinced. The only thing that doesn't seem durable about them is the pin, but powerblock says they are approved to hold up to 500 lbs. so I guess we'll see if they hold up. But so far I love everything about them. I've also owned the Classic Series Sets of powerblocks and they were plenty durable, but I love the Urethane Set for not much more. They are quieter, look and feel better. Happy lifting!

A great way to save space and expand your workout capacity! It took a few workouts for my body to adapt to the need to balance the slightly different distribution of weight from a traditional dumbbell, but it's all good now.
