“Im very happy with Ashley. She was very helpful. The return process was smooth. While I love the powerblocks, my issue with the company is that the barbell and ezcurl dont have support for powerblocks over 100lbs, yet the sticker on the attachment shows that each side goes up to 220lbs with adder weights. I figured I needed the commercial line to scale up the barbell to the weight I needed since i do workouts on legs that hit 405lbs. Then while reading the instructions I find that the max weight for the barbell is 215lbs. This puts it 5 lbs over on its max weight and way under what I need. This resulted in a return of some product. The labels that came with the attachment caused the confusion because it appears that it's a measurement of a single side of the barbell instead of both sides. I only figured that out because each side can only have 2 adder weights and it describes 4 adder weights on the sticker, meaning it must be referring to the attachments at both ends.”

“Very pleased with the PowerBlock USA dumbbells I received. They are compact and take up limited space. Easy to adjust. The only reason I am rating them a 4 and not 5 is the way they were shipped caused the paint to get scratched. I believe putting small inserts between each of the individual 10 pound weights would have kept them from rubbing together and getting scratched. These weights are heavy and I am sure the shipping carriers are not gentle with them.”

“Sturdy, just a bit difficult to use because of the locking mechanism (it’s more difficult than the twist handle variety). On the plus side, seem more durable overall.”

“Good value for the money. I wish the pins were more durable. I had to buy a replacement pin. Would recommend caution/awareness with any overhead lifts”

“The product itself was perfect. However the shipping was delayed so much. I can’t blame the seller for that and I’m just glad the product worked👍.”

“Very easy to order, but some details on the website specific to my order could be made clearer. Overall, I will order from PowerBlock again.”

“The website is straightforward and my item arrived in a reasonable amount of time, given the distance from origin. I would rate 5/5 but honestly the history and number of models, ambiguous compatibility...it made me nervous that if I don't buy the expansion kit right away (I didn't), in a short time my model would be discontinued and I wouldn't be able to get an expansion kit that fits what I have now. All of that to say...the only negative I can report is that it's hard to tell which model to buy.”

“Fulfillment timing was as communicated, however, seems slow for 2024 standards. Order was received in ~8 days.”

“Although this is a phenomenal product, I cannot get past the cheap plastic retainer clips (which are REQUIRED for the product to actually work). Replacements are 'conveniently' offered on the website, however, they're sold out. They cut corners to make a quick buck on what would otherwise be a 5 star product. The product cost way too much for me to open up the box to plastic retainer clips.”

“First the bad - When you are doing drop-sets, are shaking and sweating, unable to quickly change the weight on these bad boys becomes an issue. But you can still do it, with sufficient coordination, grit, and a certain amount of swearing. Otherwise, the PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells (Sports EXP) are a serious amount of weight, from almost nothing to half-an-elephant, that takes up the same amount of space as a single pair of dumbbells. Just don't drop them on your toes when your shaking and sweating, racing to adjust the weight while not wearing shoes. I recovered, but still get nervous when repeating it...”

“The replacement PowerBlock pin for my PowerBlock pro dumbbells are great, but reordering replacement can be tricky unless know exactly where to look for on the PowerBlock webpage.”

“I very much like working out with these on the go. The only kind of cumbersome thing is taking out the 5 pound adjustment weights and reinserting them but it's not difficult. I would buy them again. The ordering process was straightforward. I wanted the USA made ones which are only offered on their website. There isn't a huge used market for these and most are priced at almost retail anyway.”

“For the home gym, these adjustable weight dumbbells are the way to go- Particularly if you're cramped for space or just don't want the excess clutter of a full dumbell set. Relatively simple to use and after about a month, I haven't had any issues w/them, other than having to be a little bit careful when using the weight selector insert to make sure that it slots into exactly where you mean to put it- If you aren't paying attention, it is sometimes easy to cross it up between two different weight slots but I guess I imagine that'll happen a little less once I've used them a while longer and get more familiar. A big plus for me was that the particular version that I bought (Elite USA 90) are made in the USA. I also went with the knurled grip version and I'm glad that I did. They feel more like commercial quality weights that you'd find at your local gym, which is a plus. Debated getting the expansion to go up to 70lbs. but for home gym use, 50 is likely going to be good enough for a while since I'm not going to be pushing my limits w/out anyone else around. Only deducted 1 star due to pricing, which seems a little high- Particulary for the expansion packs. Overall, thumbs up and I think these will last a good long while, based upon perceived initial quality.”

“Ordering from the site was simple. I was a bit confused with what parts worked with what or the differences in each dumbbell model. After reading around a bit it made more sense. I would’ve like a bit more instructional videos on how to operate but YouTube helped with that.”
