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.

I just received my PowerBlocks and have not had a chance to work with them for very long. I am pleased, however, that they are 1) everything they are advertised to be in quality, and 2) a great idea! I can't think of a reason that I will change my mind.

I love the adjustable kettlebell, the adjustable dumbbells and the bench. It makes working out simple and enjoyable.

After using a Bowflex machine for the last 20 years or so, I was no longer realizing results. After thorough research online, it was clear I needed to up my game and swap over to free weights. Space was the number one concern, I needed something with a small footprint. A whole rack of dumbbell weights wasn't going to work for me. I came across a fitness Youtuber promoting Powerblocks. He didn't promote them with fancy buzzwords and whatnot. What he actually did was an entire exercise routine with them. I saw them in action, I saw that they did in fact work and it wasn't some silly gimmick. After more research and comparisons to other similar products, I pulled the trigger on the Powerblocks. I've been using the product for a little over a month now and it's been fantastic. Switching to a free weight exercise routine is working muscles that the Bowflex neglected and yes, you can get a complete full body workout from head to toe with free weights. It's amazing. While the Powerblocks are pricey, it certainly beats dropping thousands on free weight sets. You can also upgrade over time to more weights so if cost is an issue, start small and work your way up if you can. If you are serious about free weight exercise and you plan on putting Powerblocks to good and consistent use, they will pay for themselves many times over. P.S. After I finish writing this, I'm putting my Bowflex up for sale and buying the Powerblock, bench, dip, and pullup bar.

That the PowerBlock is useful is not in doubt, but I also had an easy go of it dealing with customer service in switching an order out after I made a mistake regarding model numbers. I give this company thumbs up.

Our set of PowerBlocks & Travel Bench is perfect for our operation. We are an EMS Helicopter base on the west coast and having the travel bench & PowerBlocks allow us to get a great workout at work. They are a great fit for anyone that wants an optimal training environment where space is minimal.

Awesome quality, fast shipping.

This product is as good as it gets. The price is high, but you will pay just as much, if not more for individual weights and then have to store them all between uses. The quality is top notch and my interactions with customer service have been superior to many other companies.
