When it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, Bowflex isn't your only choice. PowerBlock is another reputable brand offering a more budget-friendly option. Right now, Woot! (an Amazon-owned platform) has a special deal on the PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 (5 to 50lb) adjustable dumbbell set, priced at just $239.99. That's a whopping $149 less than a similar set from Bowflex SelectTechs. If you're looking for more than 50 pounds per dumbbell, PowerBlock has you covered with expansion kits that can boost the weight up to 70 or even 90 pounds. Both the Stage 2 (50 to 70lb) and Stage 3 (70 to 90lb) kits are on sale at Woot! for $119.99 each. Amazon Prime members enjoy free shipping, while others pay a flat rate of $6, which is quite reasonable considering the package will weigh over 100 pounds.
Each dumbbell in the base PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 set can be adjusted from 10 to 50 pounds in 5-pound increments with a simple turn of a dial. This design keeps the plates neatly contained, saving you floor space compared to a full rack of individual dumbbells. Although a stand isn't included, you can find one on sale or opt for any sturdy stand or table if you're watching your budget.
One of the standout features of these PowerBlocks is their expandability. When you're ready to increase your weights beyond 50 pounds, you don't need to purchase a whole new set. The expansion kits allow you to add weight up to 90 pounds, offering a cost-effective solution to grow with your fitness journey.
The quality of these PowerBlock dumbbells is impressive. I've personally used them and can attest that they are as solid and well-constructed as the Bowflex SelectTech. Most components are made of metal, not plastic, ensuring durability. The rubber-coated handles provide a secure grip, and the weight adjustment dial is smooth and user-friendly. PowerBlock supports these dumbbells with a five-year warranty, reflecting their confidence in the product's longevity.
Free weights like these are perfect for home workouts, especially if you're constrained by space. With just a pair of dumbbells, you can perform a variety of exercises targeting nearly every muscle group in your upper and lower body. Combine your dumbbell workouts with cardio and bodyweight exercises like push-ups, burpees, or squats, and you might not need any additional equipment.
