“I ordered the Elite USA 90 power block. I actually already owned a pair of these that I’ve had for many many years! And it was simply time to get a new set! I really enjoy using the ones with the straight handle. I have two other types of power blocks that have the different handle types and the straight handle is my favorite and most comfortable so I’m glad that you guys still are making this type!”

“The quality and ease is unmatched. The naming conventions and the explicit explanation of the various stages is unclear and hard to navigate on their website.”

“Love my powerblock pro exp. Just bought the stage 2 expansion and had a bit of a mixup when I received another dumbbell by mistake. Customer service resolved the situation quickly and reasonably. Hope to train hard enough to justify buying stage 3 as well!”

“I love the utility of PowerBlocks. Their space-saving design and cost-per-pound value are both fantastic. I am on my second set. Years ago I had a set of PowerBlock Sport 9.0 dumbbells with up to 90 lbs per hand. They were great, but a bit noisy. Sold those and got the PowerBlock Pro set with urethane-coated plates. I like these better. For pressing and pulling exercises (bench press, rows, etc), it's hard to notice a difference between these and traditional dumbbells. For rotational exercises (curls, lateral lifts, etc.) with the adder weights in, the feel is a little off, a little harder, as the additional weight is further from your elbow, changing the rotational mass distribution. Not a deal-breaker, but different, and may result in needing to step down your weight lifted by 5 lbs. Some exercises are downright difficult (goblet squats, tricep extensions) due to difficulty gripping a single block with two hands. For that reason, I bought the PowerBlock Curl Bar, which has worked great. The only other item to note is that the weight adjustment slider works great on flat, hard, surfaces. If you set the block on a padded bench, yoga mat, etc. the groves may not align properly and it takes some finesse to get the sidebar into place. Again, not a deal-breaker, but something to note.”

“I purchased my original PowerBlocks in 2011 while serving in the military. Drug them all over the country without an issue. Retired and still using them today in my home gym. Finally bent a pin and ordered a replacement. The one sent didn’t work (newer model), but customer service helped me and got me the correct pin free of charge. Couldn’t ask for better service. Told my sons they might not inherit money, but they can look forward to getting my PowerBlocks when I’m gone.”

“The durability and ease of adjustment make the power block a great addition to my home gym. I’ve also started a small work gym for myself and coworkers using the Powerblock 24 lbs and adjustable kettlebell. Great for small spaces!”

“I am so high on my fifty pound Pro PowerBlock dumbbells that I bought a set for my son. In reviews on the internet, the one negative comment says PowerBlocks are not shaped and balanced like "real" dumbbells. That critique assumes something we do not usually experience--that the first developers of something got it exactly right the first time. Think about it: Henry Fords Model T was marvelous, but no later developer assumed that later cars had to match its shape. My point. PowerBlocks are shaped in a way that engages more stabilizer muscles than the traditional dumbbells. That just might be better!”

“The weights are as-advertised. Quality weights that will save you space. Order execution was an issue. It took 3 calls to customer service with the rep putting me on hold to check the warehouse to finally get my order (the reps were extremely nice). When the weights did arrive, one had a minor paint chip. Neither thing is a big deal, but given the premium price tag I don't think this should happen. This review should be 5 stars but the poor execution at this price-point forces me to go with 3 stars.”

“All you will ever need! It's not as fast in changing the weights as any adjustable dumbbell that looks like a normal dumbbell but it sure is sturdy and you know will last long. It didn't bother me that much to change weights because that time to change weights is my rest time anyways LOL. I will definitely recommend this product 100%. Remember, it is always worth it if you always use it. ;)”

“The Powerblocks are great. My only disappointment was that Powerblock started offering free shipping 3 days after my purchase. Because this was such a short window, I reached out hoping for some effort to make that right, considering I was not informed or aware of this impending change. After multiple emails, I never received a response. Disappointing to not receive any response.”

“This is my second AND upgraded set of PowerBlocks. My original set was purchased around 2008, this new set is through the roof and a massive improvement--the old set was good, the new set is even better.”

“I have the ProEXP set and I have loved it. This is my first set of adjustable dumbbells and I started with just the base set but have expanded to the full 90 pound set. There are great dumbbells for a variety of lifts and make it easy and fast to add and drop weight. I’m looking forward to adding the EZ curl or straight bar in the future.”
