Powerblock Dumbbell Set (**** Out Of *****)
PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells are a great way to develop lean muscle and lose weight by using the proven method of resistance training.
Traditional dumbbells can take up a lot of space, but PowerBlock dumbbells can fit almost anywhere as they take up only 3 square feet of floor space. They are the heaviest and most solid set of adjustable dumbbells on the market today.
PowerBlock offers two sets of weights to choose from: the Elite set and the Personal Trainer set. The Elite set is perfect for men as it includes the core handles, 8, 10-pound nested plates, and four 2.5-pound adder weights.
The set alters from 5 – 90 pounds per hand and moves up in 5 pound increments, which represents 28 pairs of dumbbells. The Personal Trainer set is great for women as it includes everything in the Elite set, but offers weights in smaller increments.
The nested plates in the Personal Trainer set are in 5 – pound instead of 10 – pound increments and the set adjusts from 2.5 to 50 pounds per hand in 2.5 – pound increments. PowerBlocks are available through several online retailers at a $355 to $595 price range depending on the weight interval selected.
PowerBlocks are more expensive than a traditional set of dumbbells, offer more weight increments than a consumer may need for the average workout and like many other fitness products, does not appear to have a manufacturer’s money-back guarantee.
