Save 40% on PowerBlock Dumbbells and Kits

When it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, Bowflex isn't the only game in town. PowerBlock offers a reliable alternative at a much more budget-friendly price. Right now, Woot! (an Amazon-owned site) has a special deal on the PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 (5 to 50lb) adjustable dumbbell set, slashing the price to just $239.99. That's a whopping $149 less than a similar set of Bowflex SelectTechs. If you're looking to go beyond 50 pounds per dumbbell, PowerBlock has you covered with expansion kits that can boost the weight up to 70 or even 90 pounds. Both the Stage 2 (50 to 70lb) and Stage 3 (70 to 90lb) kits are also on sale at Woot! for $119.99 each. Amazon Prime members enjoy free shipping, while others pay a flat rate of $6, which is reasonable considering the hefty over 100-pound package.

The PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 set lets you adjust each dumbbell from 10 to 50 pounds in 5-pound increments, all with a simple turn of a dial. The compact design means the plates are neatly contained, taking up much less space than a full rack of traditional dumbbells. While a stand isn't included, you can grab one on sale or opt for any sturdy stand or table if you're watching your budget.

One of the standout features of PowerBlocks is their expandability. Once you're ready to push past 50 pounds, the expansion kits let you add more weight to your existing set, up to 90 pounds, without needing to buy a whole new set. This makes upgrading your home gym both easy and cost-effective.

The quality of these PowerBlock dumbbells is top-notch. Having personally used them, I can attest that they're just as sturdy and well-constructed as the Bowflex SelectTechs. Most components are metal, not plastic, ensuring durability. The rubber-coated handles provide a secure grip, and the weight adjustment dial is smooth and user-friendly. PowerBlock stands behind their product with a five-year warranty, so if you're still dedicated to your fitness routine after five years, you're in good hands.

Free weights are an excellent choice for home workouts, especially when space is at a premium. With just a pair of dumbbells, you can perform a variety of exercises targeting every major muscle group in your upper and lower body. Combine these with cardio and bodyweight exercises like pushups, burpees, or squats, and you might find you don't need any more equipment.
