My Favorite Set of Adjustable Dumbbells Is $60 Off During the October Prime Day Sale.
Amazon’s October Prime Day sale has begun, and I’m keeping an eye on the best fitness deals, especially discounts on adjustable dumbbells . I love recommending adjustable dumbbells as a way to save time, money, and valuable space when strength training at home.
While purchasing individual pairs of dumbbells in five-pound increments up to 80 pounds would cost over $1,500 (and take up your entire home gym), adjustable dumbbells offer the same versatility for a fraction of the price. My favorite set right now, the PowerBlock Elite EXP Adjustable Dumbbells , is $339.99, down from the usual $399.99. That’s a significant savings of $60.
It’s hard to find a list of “best home dumbbells” where PowerBlocks wouldn’t be high on the list. The futuristic cubic design is stylish, but more importantly, it’s incredibly space-saving and compact—that’s the whole point of using adjustable dumbbells instead of a traditional rack with individual weights. The weights have flat edges, so they can be held vertically on your lap, and, unlike many adjustable models, they’re compact enough to avoid bumping into each other when doing shoulder or chest presses. The only significant drawback is the frame design: to grip the dumbbell, you have to place your hand inside its frame, which can be awkward, especially if you’re wearing a large watch.
These dumbbells also come in 70- and 90-pound versions. If you choose one of the smaller sets, you can purchase additional sets later to upgrade to the larger versions. The full 90-pound set is also on sale now, reduced from its original price of $869 to $738.65. And if you’re not yet convinced of the benefits of adjustable dumbbells, this set of traditional 150-pound dumbbells is also on sale, reduced from $189.99 to $149.99.
