Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unfortunately lingering rubber smell that’s worse than expected. We tried to soak it two different times in vinegar ... no help. Buyer beware.

Stinky do not buy I will return it for sure don’t buy

Be warned, people post pictures of two Dumbbells but for $187 you receive (1). It’s extremely misleading and disappointing. For anyone else interested please read thoroughly before purchasing!

Did not get complete order, took forever to get a callback. Had to call again wait for 20 plus minutes to speak to someone. Only to be told item is now unavailable, horrrendous service, overall pathetic experience.

Terrible experience. Never even received. Took 2 months of arguing to get both my money and rewards money back

Don’t buy these products. Over priced and get lost in shipping

PROS Weights are ruggedly built. Balance and quality of construction of the weights offers a high end, professional athlete’s aesthetic. CONS To prevent scratching surfaces, rubber coating on the ends of the dumb bells could have been a great solution if not for their extremely troublesome off-gassing. After unboxing, to detox the chemicals inhaled while moving the weights, I required rounds of expensive homeopathic and botanical drainage remedies. The rate of emissions was so high and long lasting that I had to put the weights outside. Over two days the 20 lb units were still off-gassing. The designers need an education about the impact of chemicals on metabolic efficiencies. Though the capacity for detox of pollutants is blood type dependent, TRU GRIT should protect the consumer from chemicals, metals and/or other toxins that bioaccumulate in fatty tissues such as the brain and other organs. A high body burden of environmental toxins turns on genetic markers for a multiplicity of disease. Neither the online advertising nor the packaging affords the buyer any warning. Usually, by law, if a manufacturer is selling a harmful product, the consumer must be duly warned. The brown corrugated box arrived mangled and without any product description. The rubber smells worse than petroleum-based tire rubber. As an informed consumer, I do not want products that shed VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in my home or near the porous skin and respiratory systems of my family. Rising levels of harmful microbes and pollutants in our air, water and food are enough of a challenge without adding another culprit that diminishes health and longevity. TRU GRIT, please have your R+D guys identify a non-toxic alternative coating for what otherwise is a superior build.
