I had a few misgivings when I first decided to purchase my Powerblocks. I wasn't wild about the form factor --- blocks? Somehow, they just didn't seem intuitive --- they didn't look like a DUMBELL! And for some reason, that made me feel like using them wouldn't FEEL like true weight lifting. In fact, when I was browsing adjustable dumbells and eliminating unviable options, these were among the first that I pointed out to my friend, saying, "See these? I'll never get these." How wrong I was. I researched my options for about two more days, and each path I went down led me to the powerblock. Despite not having the barbell aesthetic I was looking for, every other option fit into place. Safety. Ease of Use. Durability. Warranty. Reliability. Rapid Weight Change. No other product I looked at had all of these qualities. And so, I took the plunge, still with reservations about not "feeling" like a lifter. From the moment I picked these things up, I knew I'd made the right choice. My first workout with them was probably one of the most efficient that I've ever performed, -- the quick change of weight allowed me to focus purely on the lift, not having to fuss with spin locks and trying to rush in between my rests --- simply, it takes an entire step out of your routine and allows you to concentrate on the most important part. As time went by, the subtle benefits of powerblock's form factor began to reveal themselves. I purchased the PowerBlock Sport Exp, and I've got to say, I wouldn't want to go back to a traditional dumbell. The way the block encompasses your hand allows for more balanced weight distribution. The flat sides allow you to rest them comfortably on your knees between sets. Their square shape allows you to set them anywhere without them rolling around. The general impression that you get from these weights is "SOLID". The creators took the time and care to really think about what would make a lifter's life easier and implemented those ideas well. Easily one of the best purchases for fitness I've ever made.

PB delivered professionally everthing they said they would and the equipment is awesome.

I have previously used Powerblock products at a gym and I liked the versatility I had with them. Now that I have no time to go to a gym, I bought myself a pair for use at home, and its compact design really helps make the best of my workout using a minimum storage area. I would recommend that product in a heartbeat. Just beware before purchasing that you know the various options, between the expandable ones and the one that are maxed out already. This is not a small purchase, would make anybody mad to have to purchase an entire new set to have more weight :)

Great product, do yourself a favor and get the full gym set up so you will get the stand and bench. It takes up very little space and will be a great investment overall.

Product was as advertised and arrived on time and in good condition. I ordered a stand for my power block weights. There were no instructions but I had no problem due to the fact that it was pretty obvious where all the little pads had to go.

I am so far really enjoying me new weights. They are easy and fun to use.

Products shipped in a timely manner, and it works as described!

I would recommend the PowerBlock dumbbells (with PB stand) and a FID bench as the centerpiece to any exercise program. The PowerBlock dumbbells are compact and offer a lot of flexibility to accommodate your workout.
