“I’m 67 year old, and I have had a set of Bowflex 552 dumbbells for over a year. A few weeks ago, one of the plastic disc broke and I couldn’t find the part, so I bought the PowerBlock Elite USA 90 with knurled grips and 2nd weight stage (up to 70 lbs). I have since been able to repair the Bowflex, but the PowerBlocks are now my primary dumbbells. Weight adjustments are fast and easy. They feel balanced in the hand, and I really like the fact they are flat and square -- makes it easy to set them up for floor flys (and pretty much everything else.) No moving or plastic partes to wear out or fail. I still use the Bowflex, but only for supersets when I need a second set of dumbbells to maximize the time efficiency of the exercise. If you are looking for adjustable dumbbells, PowerBlock is the way to go. And by the stand too, you will be glad you did.”
“Very beneficial and convenient product! Easy to store in the corner of my room or pack up in the camper to use first thing in the mornings, either at home or on the road! I like the knurled grip, paid a little extra for it but I think it was worth it. The only complaint I had through the buying process was how many options power block has, if you buy elites from Amazon or a 3rd party dealer the blocks are cheaper and they're made in China. I had to do quite a bit of researching to find all the differences and ultimately I settled for the elite USA made in the USA and can only be purchased through the actual powerblock website. Overall, I am happy with my choice, shipping was fast and free also which was a huge plus!”
“I was skeptical. I am now a believer...and progressing in the types of exercises and gains I'm seeing. Sturdy, functional, and a great value. And US made. #winning”
“These dumbbells are well designed and well built. They adjust much faster than other adjustable dumbbells on the market while still feeling sturdy. I appreciate the versatility in being able to change weight by as little as 2.5lbs per dumbbell while also being able to go as heavy as 90lbs. I also am happy that the knurled handles are now given as an option. I am satisfied with my purchase and they have made an excellent addition to my home gym.”
“I was using the Bowflex 52.5 and needed to add more weight. The gym is my garage and I did not want to waste space. I ordered the Elite 90s with the stand. Best decision I've made this year. These weights are compact, solid, and easily adjustable. The knurled grip makes it feel like an extension of your arm. I have been lifting for about 3 years these dumbbells are great addition to my garage gym.”
