ATIVAFIT Adjustable 44LBS Pair/ 66LBS Pair/ 88 LBS Singel Dumbbell Free Weights Dumbbell Multiweight Options for Men Women Full Body Workout Fitness Home Gym (88)

These are used in an in-house home gym. Prior to purchase I looked for adjustable dumbbells for use in retirement and this unit appeared to be well-rated and economically priced compared to various name brands. Based on 6 months usage with the set being used 4-5 times weekly (presses, curls, sit-ups) they have proven reliably serviceable with none of the mechanical failures some reviewers have alerted us to. As a number of reviewers have noted, there are some foibles:(1) Binding plates. There was lighter plate "stick" on one of the units (after several month's use) and the plate fell off during the first rep. Upon examination of the plate, I noticed it was slightly burred on one surface. I examined others in the rack and where I found roughness used vegetable oil which appeared to solve the binding issue. Also, if you're concerned over binding, try half racking and returning before lifting out.(2) Detent button periodically "hesitates" on return after weight selection on one unit. On my set the columnar detent buttons are red with a black housing. Some of the photos supplied here show a white housing and others with a linear adjustor so there may be manufacturing variations. A slight left/right shifting of the selector knob restores the travel. Again, if you're suspicious that something's awry, try the half racking move after the selector dial "wiggle".(3) Re-racking issue. I get this occasionally with heavier settings. It appears that the plates left behind shift sightly in the rack when the unit is removed and this causes binding when trying to return the loaded dumbbell to the rack. The remedy is to examine and reposition the plates in the rack fully in their recesses and re-seat the dumbbell.

Pros:-Offers a great variety of weight options-Durable and reliableCons:-The paint chips off the metal weights over time-Rusts easily if kept in a garage-Sometimes it's hard to twist the knob and you have to play with itNow, why did I rate five stars? Because they've been 100% reliable. The weights have never fallen loose on me, and they give me a solid workout week after week. The instructions clearly state not to put these in a garage, so I can't blame them for some bits of rust, but it's purely cosmetic and they work fine. I'm not rough with them, but I certainly don't baby them too much, and they have become a staple in my home workouts. They saved me from quitting fitness altogether when the pandemic struck.I bought the AtivaFit stand that comes separately, and honestly, the stand is worth every penny. It saves your back when lugging around 70 pounds in each hand and makes the dumbells an absolute pleasure to use.I cancelled all gym memberships and have been working out at home for over a year. Thanks AtivaFit!

These things are amazing. I previously owned a set of bowflex ones that were pre-owned and these are definitely better than the bowflex ones. The bowflex ones you have to adjust each end of the dumbbell whereas on these you only have to adjust one side and it makes the adjustment for both.The clicks are solid, I really have zero complaints. A product like this is going to mean the dumbbell is a little large, but that's to be expected.They adjust fast enough I'm able to do drop sets.I have them on the floor but I might figure out a solution to raise them, idk. Lifting weights is about picking stuff up so am I really going to complain about having to pick them up off the floor? That's what working out is all about. Guess I'll just keep them on the floor lol.They go up to 65 in the clicks, but actually the true wright of them is 70 pounds, I've tested this with a scale. I'm not sure at what point the inaccuracy starts, but I guess I don't really care. If I was using them in a gym in which I was also using different dumbbell sets of probably care but these are the only ones I'm using so it's at least consistent albeit inaccurate. I've tested various steps and it seems to get more inaccurate the more weight you add, with clio #65 being the most inaccurate with 70 lbs instead of 65. For example when set to 10 pounds my scale actually shows 10.5 pounds. When set to 40 its actually 42 pounds, etc. The more weight you set, the closer to that 5 additional pounds you get.Fortunately both dumbbells (I bought two) are the exact same. So they're at least consistent.Why don't I think my scale is the thing that's wrong? Because before I ever even tested it I already could tell the weight was heavier than what I'm used to.
