Powerblock will not be receiving anymore of my money. While the product is fine, the way they do business is sketchy. They have a couple of their products on Amazon, but none of the versions on amazon... See more

PowerBlock is by far the best adjustable barbell out there. I've used 3 different sets over 10 years. The primary issue I have is compatibility for accessories. For example, there are various versions... See more

Information provided by various external sources

PowerBlock, Inc. was founded in 1991 by specialty fitness equipment designers who became friends while designing equipment for several companies including Parabody and Cybex. While searching for specific needs in the fitness industry, they were drawn to the large amounts of dumbbells they would encounter in the specialty fitness stores they visited. There had to be a better way of providing fitness enthusiasts with the performance advantage of hand weights without the space and restrictions of old fashioned racks and dumbbells. It was here the idea for PowerBlock was born. After two years of extensive testing, PowerBlock began sales of the newly coined "selectorized dumbbell". Since then, PowerBlock has continued to be the leader in the fitness industry as we constantly strive to out do ourselves in the pursuit of excellence.

Nice Looking Posters

Recently purchased the exercise posters. They are well made, very detailed and the pictures are excellent. If I had to say one thing to take away from that it's that they are smaller than I thought they would be. Besides Being a little small, I think the posters are excellent.

Good product

We just started using our new Powerblock set -- so far, so good. Everything seems very well constructed. It's easy to use once you know how to do it. Had to go online to download the user manual, since the manual did not come with the set and we could not figure out how to use the set without it. But now that we know how, it's fairly easy and seems to work well. It was fairly easy to assemble the stand also. So far, we are quite happy with the stand and the Powerblock set

I've been a fan since 2007

I love my PowerBlock equipment. I've been a fan since 2007 when I bought my first piece. The equipment is top notch build, compact, and expandable. Customer service has always been on point too. Happy customer.

I traded elite 90 set for the urethane …

I traded elite 90 set for the urethane 125. Here are my impressions

1. Comparing even the u-90 set to elite 90 in terms of size, the elite is more compact.
2. The grip on urethane is fatter than elite, makes it harder to hold
3. In the u125 set, the jump after 90 is straight to 102 pounds, that's an increase of 12 pounds per dumbbell , and not the 5 pound increment. 12 pound per hand is a lot of weight to adjust.
4.In your website, when I select home products, why do I see expansion kits till 175 pounds, when clearly u125 is not expandable. 175 pounds expansion should only be shown under commercial tab. Later in fine prints, you do mention that 175 is only for commercial serious, but many like me might miss the fact.

Bottom line is I feel it was not worth for me to trade my elite 90 set for u125. Because of the 12 pound increment after 90 pounds, I don't see myself using any weights more than 90 pounds in near future

Pretty good so far...

Purchased the U90 125 PowerBlock's a few weeks ago. Arrived pretty quick. Assembly was really easy, not even sure I would call it an assembly. Up and running with them within 10 min. On the other side, I feel the blocks are over priced. I spent $1,055 to get them to the door. The concept is great, but so much plastic. I feel that I may end up breaking them in the future. The selecters are plastic as well and seem ver cheap. If something were to break first that would be it. Overall great product. Only wish is that I would be able to expand the 125 to 175 but that isn't an option...

Fantastic product, no complaints.

Timely arrival of the products, everything works and fits together well. Assembly instructions were thorough and well-written and illustrated. The bench was nearly fully assembled and is quite strong, much better than a bench I purchased from a local sporting good store. Very happy with the professional quality of the equipment and the lifetime warranty.
