What you should know about adjustable dumbbells
Weights are expensive, so buying a set of adjustable dumbbells can save you hundreds of pounds.

Our adjustable dumbbells are high-quality, durable and ready for your next workout.
FAQ
01
How do adjustable dumbbells work?
Adjustable dumbbells work by using a mechanism that locks onto a different number of weight plates depending on how you set it. If you want to go light, you can lock the dumbbell in place with only its lightest weight plate. If you want to go heavy, lock all of the plates to your dumbbell to access its maximum weight.
02
What are the benefits of adjustable dumbbells?
Adjustable dumbbells save space and save money. To have all of the weights you need in fixed dumbbells requires a lot of storage. Adjustable dumbbells take this functionality and turn it into one small footprint instead. They’re also economical. With our 40kg Elite Adjustable Dumbbells, you can access 20 different weights in one. Think about the money that saves you compared to buying each of those dumbbells in a set.
03
Are adjustable dumbbells suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. If you’re just starting out with strength training, a pair of adjustable dumbbells is a great idea to future proof your workouts and to give you the weight options you need to hit every muscle. Some exercises need different levels of resistance to others. You might need a light set of dumbbells for lateral raises, but a heavy pair for shoulder press. That’s where adjustable dumbbells come into their own, by giving you the weight options you need across exercises.
04
How do I choose the right weight of adjustable dumbbell?
Only you know how strong you are, but it’s smart to buy for the future. We highly recommend our all-metal Elite Adjustable Dumbbells. These come in 32kg and 40kg variants so are ideal for full-body training. If you're looking for something more entry-level, then our standard adjustable dumbbells still offer a lot of bang for your buck.
05
What exercises can I do with adjustable dumbbells?
You can do all of the pushing and the pressing that you would with a regular set of dumbbells, but we’d advise against doing snatching and swinging exercises with an adjustable dumbbell. They’re designed to be used in controlled movements only.
06
What’s the warranty on your adjustable dumbbells?
All of our products come with one year of warranty. Check our warranty information page for full details.
07
Can I purchase additional weight plates for my adjustable dumbbells?
You can’t, but you can always get creative. Our fractional weight plates fit over the handle of dumbbells and can add extra resistance when needed.
08
Are there any safety precautions to take with adjustable dumbbells?
As with any weight, be sensible when you’re using an adjustable dumbbell. Store it inside and in a dry place to avoid any of the materials weakening and make sure the locking mechanism is looked after.
09
Can I drop adjustable dumbbells?
No. The locking mechanism means they’re not as tough as their fixed counterparts so they can’t be thrown down after a set.
