#5. Basics Easy Grip Neoprene Dumbbell Set


Comes in at Number 5, but let’s be honest, I use these a lot. Having a set of these around, guarantees quick lifts. Like having a stress ball at the desk. 


These dumbbells have a comfortable grip with a neoprene coating, making them easy to hold. The hexagonal shape prevents rolling, which means, you’re not going to set it down and find it knocking over your drink or landing on your toes.


Reasonably priced for a set of dumbbells. Good durability and quality for the cost.


TL;DR:

  • The neoprene coating provides a good grip

  • The hexagonal shape prevents accidents during exercises

  • Suitable for various workouts.


Level of Difficulty: Fun For The Whole Family


Available in a variety of weights to accommodate different fitness levels.

#4. BalanceFrom Rubber Coated Hex Dumbbell


These Dumbbells carry their own weight. Nothing says sturdy like Steel in your hands. The Rubber coat doesn’t mean you can hike them to your hardwood floor or tiles, but it definitely means that an accidental drop isn’t going to destroy anything at a respectable distance. 


Besides a comfortable grip and rubber coating, these provide both durability and a non-slip surface. The hexagonal shape keeps them from rolling away, but be careful, you might look too cool lifting these. 


Reasonably priced for a set of rubber-coated hex dumbbells, offering a good balance between quality and cost.


TL;DR:

  • The rubber coating enhances grip and durability

  • Long lasting and well built

  • Cost matches quality


Level of Difficulty: Fun For The Whole Family


Weights come in Pairs, for different fitness levels. Grow slow.


My recommendation:


#3. Basics Adjustable Dumbbells


A great set that I used even on the go. Comes with a carrying case that I could toss in the back of the truck without worrying about it rolling around, took my wife to the park and we had a workout session. She likes to do Yoga in the sunlight. I'll let you know if I ever decide to try it. Until then, BACK TO THE WEIGHTS.

Has an adjustable weight selection, just roll of the locks and move the discs. SIMPLE.


What you're paying for is a universal dumbbell that eliminates the need for multiple pairs, steel alloy for long-term value, and as a single unit, saves tons of space.

#2. Eisenlink Adjustable Dumbbells, 10-50lbs


One of the best sets I've ever owned. Yes, it's more expensive than the others on my list so far, but worth it. The Square design is a great display piece. When people see it, great conversational opportunity to show off some muscle while explaining how it works.
