    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.

    Well constructed dumbbells

    These dumbbells are really well constructed. The hexagon shape doesn't roll around on the floor, the rubberized ends don't scuff up the floor or generate a ton of noise when setting them down, and there are no moving parts jostling around as you life and lower the weight. In short, these are excellent weights. The only complaint I have is that they stank something awful when I first unboxed them. It was a very strong, chemical odor. It took a good four days for the odor to fade. Aside from that though, these have been terrific.

    The majority of the gyms are closed, not to mention the inner concern of getting infected with the covid. But even if the gyms were open to the public, we would still be forcing to stay at home most of the time, and gain weight too. So we have to look for ways to exercise even a little bit for our own sake and guess what? Turns out that dumbells prices increased dramatically. When I was looking in Amazon, prices didn’t make any sense and you will have to stay in a wait list if you decided to buy it. So finding weights became a near impossible task for a decent price. But worse than that, I found out by own experience, many of these companies were selling ONLY ONE dumbbell, and you realized that once the order arrived! So I was pleasantly surprised that Best Buy has entered into the fitness business. And as always, Best Buy only offers very high quality products with a very affordable price, like these set of dumbbells. You can feel and smell the great quality and craftsmanship of the heavy duty rubber with hexagon shape that helps to grip on any surface you place them. The chrome handle is designed for a good grip while you exercise . And because of the way they are being designed you will notice a smell of rubber for a couple of days, but that is it, I am really pleased with this set and I am starting to collect all pairs, but the best part is, that they come in pairs!

    Perfect Addition To Home Gyms

    Like many others out there, I've been struggling to build an at-home gym to substitute for the actual gym. I've been having a hard time finding available and affordable dumbbells until I came across these. I got the 20lb set and I'm very impressed by them! The hex shape helps them not roll away as I'm quickly switching between exercises and I don't feel like I slam them on my floor because of their rubber coating. I can't believe the quality of them for the price. Very reasonable. I think they'll hold up well through prolonged use. My only complaint is the odor that they gave off when I took them out of the box. It's a very strong new rubber smell. It's gone away mostly, but I still catch a wiff of it when I'm using them.

    Great workout dumbbell

    The Tru Grit 20-LB Hex dumbbell is a great dumbbell and comes at a perfect time when I try to stay at home as much as possible these days. It fits well in my hand and the grip on the handle is just right. I love the hex shape and it keeps the dumbbell right where I put it down. I only have one right now, but I plan on getting another 20-lb to even things out and a couple of 10-lb versions for my wife to use. The rubber does have a funny smell though, but I hope it will go away with time.
