Overview: Training with dumbbells allows you to select resistance training exercises based on their similarity to actual movements that occurs during sports. Dumbbells require more balance than training with barbells or machines, and balance is crucial for optimal performance. Dumbbells also require more muscular control than barbells, thus enhancing kinesthetic awareness. The best part of training with dumbbells is it allows the athlete to train through a greater range of motion than barbells on some exercises. Understand that it is sometimes more valuable to trade heavy weights (Barbells) for more sport-specific movements. Kettlebell exercises demand the use of multiple joints, which engages all the larger muscles of the body. Compound kettlebell moves burn calories faster than isolation moves, which only work one muscle. Styles: Rubber coated dumbbells (Single): From 5-pound to 100 pound rubber coated hexagon shape dumbbells; Vinyl coated kettlebells (Single): From 5-pound to 100 pound colored vinyl coated kettlebells; AT A GLANCE: Wide selection of weights;Dumbbells are hexagon shaped;Kettlebells are colored vinyl coated;2-year warranty.

Great for the price. Don’t expect to do cleans and snatches without sanding the handle though.
I’ve been training with kettlebells for over 15 years, so I’ve handle a lot of them.Pros: Great price; handle window wide enough for both of my larger sized hands; vinyl coating is even and tightly adheared.Cons: rough uneven “seam” lines on the handle that would tear up my calluses if I used it for cleans/snatches/etc.This 100 pound bell is going to be perfect for what I ordered it for: 2 hand swings, single leg deadlifts, Turkish get ups, and deadlifts for my clients that aren’t comfortable with barbells yet. If I were going to use it for cleans/snatches/etc I would need to sand the handle smooth and refinish with truck bed liner (it has some uneven spots that would tear up my calluses). Most bells that aren’t one piece gravity cast have this issue. I expected this for the price, and can remedy it with some easy modifications.. All in all, great price, should last for many years.

Not perfect, but great for the price
It’s weird that the different colors of each weight aren’t shown in this listing, they’re not all pink. Anyways, this was significantly cheaper than anything/anywhere else, even less than most of the non-vinyl coated options out there, which is awesome. However, there are some aesthetic imperfections with the vinyl coating, though it’s tight and firmly attached throughout. Also, the handle has no sharp seams anywhere but some scattered rough spots in the finish (not bad, I’d actually prefer the whole handle had the rough finish). Then the iron itself is a bit deformed (just sort of dented) at the base, so on a hard surface there is a slight wobble, it’s just not quite as stable as you might want if you were going to balance your weight on it. None of these flaws make any difference to me so I’m thrilled with the price. But these quality control issues explain why it didn’t cost two or three times as much, so they seem worth mentioning.

BEST BUY
Product is absolutely the best price for this quality!I own several Gold's Gym dumbbells that I've purchased from Walmart and firmly believed that was the best quality rubber coated weights i was going to be able to find and buy individually UNTIL I FOUND THESE! (Again) Product is absolutely the best price for this quality! these are just as good as the mainstream brand, and your muscles will agree! better yet, each dumbbell has a 2 year Warranty! ( something i did not receive with my gold's gym bells) You cant go wrong here.This IS the answer!The one notable difference between the two brands i now have is, the bar itself. these seem to be just a little more slender than the Gold's Gym (which actually feels more comfortable to me.) So there you have it!pros: Amazing quality, 2 year warranty, great priceCons: you can no longer make excuses, get pumping!Have fun, live healthy! EDIT: I had to also buy a set of 25's and 30's, CANT GO WRONG!

Toxic odor
The odor from the rubber was so bad I could not keep them in the house. Try to contact Everyday Essentials to see what could be done about the odor. No response from Everyday Essentials. Had no choice but to return the items.

These are nice weights, bought them for sale, could be more comfortable.
These are nice weights, bought them for sale, could be more comfortable.Note: I do not have PRIME since Amazon.com does NOT stand behind their BS mark-up service and have become WORSE since they started pushing it so much at delivering non PRIME items.I bought them for the price point they are fairly standard and have held up fairly well. I wish the grips were more comfortable with either some padding or some rubber material on them as well.Note: I do not have PRIME since Amazon.com does NOT stand behind their BS mark-up service and have become WORSE since they started pushing it so much at delivering non PRIME items.

Exactly what I was looking for! Great quality!
I wanted some dumbbells to do some at home workouts and these were perfect. I purchased two and it was still under $30. These are great! They are great quality and sturdy! I did a lot of research looking up different kinds of dumbbells, and chose these based on the reviews and because they looked like they were the closest quality to the ones I used at the gym, without breaking the bank. They arrived perfectly packaged. They were in one box, but each dumbbell was packaged separately in a smaller box inside. They were wrapped effectively inside and had no dings, scratches or marks. If you're on the fence about this product, I'd say give it a try. These were exactly what I was looking for!

FOR THOSE SHOPPING FOR HEAVY, HEAVY DUMBELLS.
Browsing around for new dumbells, I was worried there would be some defect—especially when it comes to heavier weights. The set of 70 lbs I ordered exceeded my expectations.They physically look great—albeit, they are bulky units, especially compared to my 80 lb CAP dumbbell.They equally both weighed in at approx. 70.8 lbs on my digital scale, each. I was worried they would be each slightly be underweight, and taking into account a possible 1 lb differential of my digital scale, 69.8 lbs is still very good. ESPECIALLY for weights at this price.They have a very “rubbery” smell, akin to a gym mat. But, really, it’s nothing that should dissuade you.Overall, incredibly happy. Recommend highly.

Heavy but not too heavy
Weight is perfect for the new exercises that I'm doing. I've graduated to a heavier weight and this does the trick.
