Core Fitness® Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Set by Affordable Dumbbells

I never do anything half-*ssed regarding significant purchases, i.e., I research professional reviews and also get a take for personal reviews, especially the negative ones. Essentially, I gather my information and determine what is and what isn't important. Same deal with these weights . . . So, this is what I determined about what was really important to me: 1. All parts were sturdy and well made/constructed; 2. Similar to number 1, that the weights had zero to minimum movement while working out; 3. The weight set was "compact" even when using maximum load of 50lbs; and, 4. The company supported their product with excellent customer service (note: I do not know this personally, but from what I have read, they do a good job of this). All of the aforementioned were answered positively by what I read and reviewed. So, what was my first impression? The delivery was on time and the packaging was excellent. Two boxes were delivered to my door, and I had zero issues with the boxes/packaging. Assembly was simple. Fast forward to working out everyday (upper body one day and lower body the next) the last few weeks and I am extremely impressed with my weight set. Why? First and foremost, I discovered for myself what others had already discovered - this is a quality weight set, with little to no movement of the weights while in motion; and the set is compact, where someone lean like myself can easily maneuver the weights while doing various exercises. For example, when you are doing overhead tricep extensions with one weight at maximum weight (50 lbs), it is very important that you have a good two handed grip while maneuvering into the overhead position. I was concerned before buying the weights that the adjustable mechanism would interfere or not be comfortable either during the process of getting into the position or actually doing the tricep extension exercise. NO WORRIES . . . IT IS QUITE COMFORTABLE - BOTH GETTING INTO THE POSITION AND DOING THE ACTUAL EXERCISE. Regarding the actual adjustment mechanism, it is well made and so simple to use. One turn of the wrist and you move the weight dial up or down. Simple. The only issue - a minor one - is removing the weights from the floor rack when you exceed approximately 25 or more lbs. This is simply rectified by using your foot on the side bar of the rack. Quite frankly, more times than not, it never happens if you remove the weights in a firm and deliberate manner. Conclusion? I am quite impressed with this adjustable weight set. Price was outstanding, as I only paid $249.91 and I am fairly confident that this weight set will last the rest of my life due to the quality of materials used to make this set.

Nice weights - I've had adjustables before, but these work really well (easy to add the plates) and feel good - like regular dumbbells.

The Core Fitness® Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Set is a smart, space-saving solution for anyone who wants the flexibility of multiple dumbbells without the clutter of a full rack. Designed for convenience and ease of use, this set is especially appealing for home gym owners and busy lifters. One of the standout features is how quickly the weight adjusts. With a simple turn of the handle, you can change resistance in seconds, which makes supersets, drop sets, and circuit training far more efficient. The compact design keeps your workout area clean and organized, and the included cradle makes storage easy. The dumbbells feel solid and well-balanced in hand, with a comfortable grip that works for both strength training and higher-rep workouts. They’re versatile enough for everything from bicep curls and presses to lunges and rows, making them a great all-in-one option. On the downside, the maximum weight may feel limiting for advanced lifters who regularly train very heavy, and the premium design comes at a higher price point than traditional plate-loaded dumbbells. However, for most users, the convenience and build quality more than justify the cost. **Overall**, the Dumbbell Weight Set is a reliable, user-friendly choice for home workouts. If you value quick weight changes, durability, and saving space, this set is a strong investment that can grow with your fitness routine. 💪

Sturdy, easy to use and adjust. Nice grips too. Good range of weight.

My son has recently started lifting and asked for dumbbells to compliment the power rack and barbells that we already have in the garage. Since we don't have a lot of space, an adjustable set is what I decided on. The price on these seems competitive for adjustable dumbbells - not expensive, but not exactly cheap either. Here are my pros and cons so far. Pros: - Adjustable weights from 5 to 50 lbs (I didn't weigh them to make sure the advertised weight is accurate as that didn't matter to me). - Selection method. The way of selecting the desired weight works well. Spinning the handle to select the weight is easy and intuitive. - Compact storage. This is important if space is at a premium. We can store these in a small corner of the garage and bring them out when needed. - No bar extending past the weight. I had originally bought dumbbell handles that you can add weights to, but that meant the bar extended past the weight and could be in the way doing some exercises such as overhead ones. On these the weight gets added to the ends of the dumbbell so they act just like a full set of individual dumbbells and there is no bar extending past the weight. - Comfortable. They are not overly padded so you can get a secure grip and the contoured handle feels fine in my hands. Cons: - When selecting heavier weight, the dumbbell tends to get stuck in the carrier and you have to hold the carrier down with a free hand or foot. I fixed this by building a cart for the dumbbells that holds the carrier down. (Cart is also useful for moving them in and out of where they are stored) - Sometimes you can't select the heavier weight if the handle isn't fully inserted. Resetting the handle with a little more force works to fix that issue. - The weight rattles a little when lifting. That makes me unsure of how long the attachment method will hold up. It is working fine so far. Fine but odd: - These came as a set in 2 boxes. The first box we opened only included the weights and carrier. We figured out how to set the dumbbells up easily enough but I was expecting some instructions. The second box not only had the instructions, but logo endcaps for both dumbbells. It was clear that the 2 boxes we meant to be a set, but I wondered why both boxes weren't packed identically with the instructions and one set of the endcaps.

Best set of dumbbells money can buy. They are very intelligently designed, perfectly balanced and can be used by anyone. 10/10 recommendation for this product.

Down plates came cracked but the sellers replaced them. Great set of dumbbells.

We've been using these dumbells in our home gym for 6 months and we're super impressed. The weights are easy to select/change and are sturdy out of the base station. What's really assuring about them is that the weights slide into V-shaped slats. So when I'm on a bench and the weights are over my head its re-assuring to see that they're secured by more than just the locking pin. "IF" there were ever a failure the weight likely wouldn't fall on me...because the V-shaped groove wouldn't allow it. The weights have remained locked during 'fast' (snap type) exercises and the handgrips have a moderate texture that provides grips without being as aggressive as knurling.

fonctionnent très bien. Mise a jour. 2 month later Update: 2 months later Selcted 10 lbs One of then broke from 1 feet high fall working abs with weight between my feet. Very fragile weights. 👎🏾

These things are great got here fast. Super easy to use only complaint is when 50lb is selected they don’t want to come out of the sleeve.
