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.

Everything is great except with one of the PowerBlocks. I have trouble inserting the plastic selector into the orange bar because the ends get trap on the circle cut out area where the bolt goes.
Customer
Not the right size for me, so I had to return them. Very expensive "trial" to have to pay for shipping both ways.

Very pleased with power blocks. However ez bar design should be changed so that when tightening a block to the bar (during assembly) the assembler has a way to keep the bar in position. When I tighten the bolt, I cannot keep the bar in position. The bar rotates as the bolt gets tighter.

I purchased a set of PowerBlock Sport 9.0 dumbbells 7+ years ago when I was so busy with life that I just could not make it to the gym during their business hours. I started with the Stage 2 90 lbs set and later upgraded to the Stage 3/4 (same product, but they re-numbered stuff later in the product life) 130 lb kit. After all this time and a move from MD to HI to VA, the weights are still rock solid. The selector pins are still strong and stable and the plates themselves show only minimize signs of wear/rust (house in HI was very humid with no central AC). When the color-coded plastic tabs faded due to sun exposure and the selector sticker wore due to age, PowerBlock's customer service rushed replacements to me. I have dealt with very few companies that were so easy to work with and really stood behind their products. I would recommend PowerBlock to anyone wanting an adjustable dumbbell set for their home gym!

I have purchased both a kettle bell and 20 pound upgrades to my current powerblock set. They have delivered both when promised and I have had no problems at all.

the U70 gym package is awesome! I love the dumbells because they are so quick and easy to use. The stand is sturdy and a good height, and the bench is very adjustable also. This package makes it very easy to switch from one exercise to another quickly, and really helps me to get in a rhythm while working out. Thanks for the great product!

Just got these but wish I'd gotten them sooner. Easy to use and excellent quality.
