    Great dumbbells

    These dumbbells are great & very easy to use. The rubber coating makes it easy to place down on the floor or furniture without destroying anything or making excessive clanging noises. It also adds an additional buffer against your skin. The grip in between is also long enough where you have optimal balance while working out. My only complaint was that the packaging it came in (a simple cardboard box with no padding, secured by a few strips of scotch tape at the seems) was very shoddy & the 30 lb weight protruded right through the box. It was a good thing I was home when the delivery was being made or else it would have fallen completely through the box if it were dumped on the porch (as these delivery people tend to do). The delivery man just handed it to me, broken cardboard box & all.

    Nothing too crazy about this product. It's a dumbbell. It is overpriced compared to Target (cough price match) However, shipping this thing was a challenge. On one instant, the item broke out of it's packaging in shipping and was entirely lost, and the other time also broke out of packaging but was only delayed by one day. Also some people complain about a strong odor, but it's nothing you wouldn't expect from a rubber coated dumbbell.

    This is a convenient little hand weight to have around to do some arm exercises at your desk or around the house, but it does have a strong, kind of smokey smell. The smell may be due to the rubber coating, so we might return this one and try the other "Elite" version that doesn't say it is out of stock. Hopefully that one won't have any odor.

    Okay so I was in for a rude awakening when I picked up my order. But the dumbbells are really nice. And dumbbells are more expensive than I thought. But I like them.

    Great for home workouts. It has a strong rubber smell when it came, but the smell goes away if you leave it by the window for a few days.

    Works well but has a terrible off gassing smell from the rubber. Even after several weeks. Only a single dumbbell

    Excellent Quality, And the rubber coating is much better for keeping the noise down. Kinda pricy though.

    This is a really nice set of dumbbells. The hand grip area is quite comfortable and a good fit for med to large hands. If you have really small or really large hands they might not be a good fit. The rubber heads seem to be robust and durable.

    I feel far more productive sitting in front of the TV during Covid-19 lockdown with these things in my hands. Getting a workout in while vegging in front of the TV is a great use case for these things and the girlfriend is far less nervous about storing them on the stone fireplace thanks to the heavy rubber coating.

    Solid Dumbbell

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

    The Tru Grit dumbbell is solid and meets all expectations. The size of the heads is a bit larger than I would like - but overall these dumbbells work well for most exercises. The packaging was poor, but the dumbbell arrived intact. The rubber coating had an odor for a few days, but it dissipated as expected. I got this on sale, so it was still a bit less than the manufacturer's suggested retail price. But - the standard price is almost double the MSRP. Not a surprise given the steep increase in prices for home workout equipment during COVID . . . but it wouldn't feel good to pay the "full price" now and see on the manufacturer's label on the item that shows a recommended price that was 60% of what you just paid.
