    Great quality dumbbells that we got on clearance for the price of one normal dumbbell. Wife loves them so these are a winner.

    Excellent dumbbell

    This dumbbell is great, is heavy-duty, functional, and with an excellent grip. I prefer these rubber coated over vinyl since it is a lot softer on surfaces. There is enough space to grip and not all uncomfortable. The gripping bar is 5 inches long, and the entire dumbbell length is 12 inches. I like hex shade over plate dumbbells because they don’t roll around on the floor. It does have some smell, which is familiar with this type of rubber, but that goes away within a few days. Overall, I am delighted with the high quality, looks and feels great. I like them so much that I will get more with different lbs to improve my workout routine.

    Great Gym Quality affordable Dumbbell

    With pandemic and gym closures, was looking for quality dumbbell sets for routine workouts at home and these Dumbbells are excellent and very well made. The heavy duty rubber encased hexagon shaped help prevents from rolling for safety and easy storage. The chrome handle is contoured and textured for a secure comfortable grip and ergonomic fit that reduces hand fatigue. Love the pair of 20lbs(each) for working out arms, chest and various upper/Lower body routines. Planning to get other sizes of 5 and 10pounds to accommodate specific exercises. Why spend too much for branded ones as this one is excellent value for the price it has to offer. Highly recommend.

    These dumbbells are an immediate upgrade to any home gym. They feel great in the hands and are sturdy. I didn't have any issues cleaning or storing given that the design makes them easy to stack. These will definitely work for your exercise routine.

    These Tru Grit Dumbells make fitness at home easy. With the rubber heads they’re fine to have on the floor in your TV room or office so you can do some work outs at your convenience. I personally use them while watching TV. The grips are excellent and the dumbbells leave no marks on carpet or wood floors. Fitness at home truly has never been easier!

    I read a lot of reviews before taking the risk and buying this. The big question from the reviews is, does it smell so bad that it is not usable? Here is the answer. The dumbells are well packaged in plastic. Yes they smell a little like new tires at the beginning. But the smell dissipates after a few days. I took the plastic off and they don't smell any more. Yes, obviously if you put your nose on top of it, you can smell the rubber. But it's nothing at all like room filling odor. You cannot smell it at all in the room where the dumbells are sitting. And these are high quality, well made dumbbells. I highly recommend them.

    These dumbbells are great! They have great grip and are well made. I did not even realize Best Buy sold weights so this is a good one if you can't find them anywhere else.

    These are very well-built and 2.5 lbs after a few reps gets heavy and my shoulders get tired but it feels great and they are a nice asset to my YouTube workouts.

    Good value. Gets the job done. No rubber odor. Grip can be a bit rough, but throwing on a pair of gloves works well.

    After one training session with these bad boys, I was able to rival the Hulk's strength. High quality build and built to last. Be sure to drink your protein after a workout with these bad boys to maximize results

    Bought for my son and he was happy with it. Seems durable and it was nice to pick up curbside! Received a price match but they would only price match one so I had to buy the other one at another store to make a set.

    This listing is for just one dumbbell

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The dumbbell is very nice. It is clearly a high quality item. I gave three stars because when I ordered the item, it said “number of weights: 2” in item specifications. I only received one dumbbell in my package. I see that they have now changed the item specifications to say “number of weights: 1.” Even if it was a mistake in the listing, I still think that I should have been sent 2 dumbbells since that was what the listing clearly said when I ordered. The wording in the listing was misleading.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
