Not only does the rubber provide more friction and grip, but the hexagonal shape of the weights also ensures that it won’t roll around easily. Their weights range from 1KG to 30KG, giving you a long list of options to choose from for both cardio and strength training.

If you bring it out on a run and decide that the weight is too heavy for you, you can simply pour out or drink the water.

Although there are many weight-adjustable dumbbell sets available out there, most of them require a tedious routine of unscrewing the safety collars, manually loading the weight plates on, before fastening the collars back on – repeated 4 times! With the Adjustable Dumbbell, it’s a one-step process for a weight change.
All you’ll need to do is to rotate the dial to your desired weight and it “loads” the plates automatically onto the bar, leaving the unused ones safely and neatly on the included holder as you pump away to Gainsville.
Weight options: 24KG & 40KG
Price: from $180/ set
