PowerBlock Reviews 

I've had my urethane series dumbells for a couple years now and they still work as well as the day I got them! I'll always be a customer!

My powerblocks arrived quickly and in perfect condition. They are incredibly simple to use and the expansion sets are easy to add on.

Don't even bother with the competition. Trust me I tried already.

Such an elegant solution to a home gym. The unit takes up less space and gives me more options than hand weights. They're easy and safe to use and most of all, a perfect way to motivate myself.

Easy to purchase and shipping time decent.

My trainer recommended I get these as we work out in my home.
Love them. Easy to adjust the weights and easier to hold and work out with . best investment I made .

I actually went through two sets of adjustable dumbbells before sending them back and getting the Urethane Set and I love them. They look sweet, they feel really high quality and you absolutely can't get any better than the lifetime warranty. I first tried out the bowflex, which look nice and are easy to change, but they felt like they would break in a few months, only went up to 90lbs and were huge so I sent those back. Then, I did a fair amount of research and found this awesome post from a surgeon who had done an extensive amount of research and he recommended the powerblocks due to their durability. And the more I looked everything out there the more I was convinced. The only thing that doesn't seem durable about them is the pin, but powerblock says they are approved to hold up to 500 lbs. so I guess we'll see if they hold up. But so far I love everything about them. I've also owned the Classic Series Sets of powerblocks and they were plenty durable, but I love the Urethane Set for not much more. They are quieter, look and feel better. Happy lifting!

A great way to save space and expand your workout capacity! It took a few workouts for my body to adapt to the need to balance the slightly different distribution of weight from a traditional dumbbell, but it's all good now.

I had a few misgivings when I first decided to purchase my Powerblocks. I wasn't wild about the form factor --- blocks? Somehow, they just didn't seem intuitive --- they didn't look like a DUMBELL! And for some reason, that made me feel like using them wouldn't FEEL like true weight lifting. In fact, when I was browsing adjustable dumbells and eliminating unviable options, these were among the first that I pointed out to my friend, saying, "See these? I'll never get these."

How wrong I was.

I researched my options for about two more days, and each path I went down led me to the powerblock. Despite not having the barbell aesthetic I was looking for, every other option fit into place.

Safety. Ease of Use. Durability. Warranty. Reliability. Rapid Weight Change. No other product I looked at had all of these qualities. And so, I took the plunge, still with reservations about not "feeling" like a lifter.

From the moment I picked these things up, I knew I'd made the right choice. My first workout with them was probably one of the most efficient that I've ever performed, -- the quick change of weight allowed me to focus purely on the lift, not having to fuss with spin locks and trying to rush in between my rests --- simply, it takes an entire step out of your routine and allows you to concentrate on the most important part.

As time went by, the subtle benefits of powerblock's form factor began to reveal themselves. I purchased the PowerBlock Sport Exp, and I've got to say, I wouldn't want to go back to a traditional dumbell. The way the block encompasses your hand allows for more balanced weight distribution. The flat sides allow you to rest them comfortably on your knees between sets. Their square shape allows you to set them anywhere without them rolling around. The general impression that you get from these weights is "SOLID". The creators took the time and care to really think about what would make a lifter's life easier and implemented those ideas well.

Easily one of the best purchases for fitness I've ever made.

PB delivered professionally everthing they said they would and the equipment is awesome.

I have previously used Powerblock products at a gym and I liked the versatility I had with them.

Now that I have no time to go to a gym, I bought myself a pair for use at home, and its compact design really helps make the best of my workout using a minimum storage area.

I would recommend that product in a heartbeat.

Just beware before purchasing that you know the various options, between the expandable ones and the one that are maxed out already.

This is not a small purchase, would make anybody mad to have to purchase an entire new set to have more weight :)

Great product, do yourself a favor and get the full gym set up so you will get the stand and bench. It takes up very little space and will be a great investment overall.

Product was as advertised and arrived on time and in good condition. I ordered a stand for my power block weights. There were no instructions but I had no problem due to the fact that it was pretty obvious where all the little pads had to go.

I am so far really enjoying me new weights. They are easy and fun to use.

Products shipped in a timely manner, and it works as described!

I would recommend the PowerBlock dumbbells (with PB stand) and a FID bench as the centerpiece to any exercise program. The PowerBlock dumbbells are compact and offer a lot of flexibility to accommodate your workout.

I bought the wrong plates. They took my return no problem and were courteous and professional.

When I initially received my PowerBlocks, one of the pins had been broken in transit. I emailed the address on the website and received no response. I finally called customer service and things were effectively remedied. The damage was not due to anything other than shipping (and the pin breaking was better than the plates breaking). A replacement pin was sent to me immediately. (When I called customer service, it appeared the initial email didn't go through. Having worked in IT myself, I know this happens. I forwarded the original email to the customer service representative.)

Overall, the experience was positive. The product is as great as I had expected and the customer service was perfect. (Now I'm just trying to outgrow the first stage and have to order more weight.)

I purchased my PowerBlock bench form a sporting goods store and it is the best bench I've ever owned. I later purchased the bar dip accessory on line a year later and it got here in a few days and works great. I couldn't have purchased for a better product for my home gym!

Shipping was more expensive and took longer than I would have expected. Otherwise, love the product.
