Dumbbell Set Comparisons

Adjustable Dumbbells, Bowflex Dumbbells, Hex Dumbbells, Powerblock Dumbbells and Pro Style Dumbbells.

If you're just starting off your home gym, the first purchase you should make is a good set of dumbbells.

The new dumbbell styles make it easy to find a set that will work with your budget and space requirements.

The new Bowflex Dumbbells and Powerblock dumbbells are great if you're cramped for space - or you can get an adjustable dumbbell set that will do the same job, but is much more work to change during a workout.

Take a step up in the true home gym dumbbells, and your options are the traditional hex dumbbells and the high end Pro Style Dumbbells like they have at your local health club.

	Adjustable Dumbbells The staple dumbbell set that's been around for over 50 years. You may have seen a pair like this in your Dad's basement as a kid. The cheapest option if you're buying dumbbells, pricing starts at .20 cents a pound.
	Bowflex Dumbbells Bow Bowflex has a newer dumbbell set on the market that is a variation of the original Powerblock dumbbell set, but much more like traditional adjustable dumbbells in design. Pricing starts at $299 without the stand.
	Hex Dumbbells The hex dumbbell is a logical step up from adjustable dumbbells and more durable than either Powerblock or Bowflex dumbbells. The downside is they take up more space and cost more. You'll also need a dumbbell rack to store them. Pricing starts at .40 cents a pound.
	Powerblock Dumbbells The Powerblock dumbbells were a revolution when they hit the market. A space efficient design and rugged durability still make the Powerblock a viable option for dumbbells at home. Pricing starts at $299.
	Pro Style Dumbbells If you want the dumbbells like they have at your favorite health club, you need pro style dumbbells. The most expensive dumbbells on the market with options in plate material and grip configurations make the pro style the best dumbbells you can buy. Period.
