About PowerBlock

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.

Great, but caveats Enjoying PowerBlocks very much. Caveats: 1. Not perfect for two very different people. Have to swap setup every time they are used. But, not a deal breaker. 2. Confusion possible between model that can adjust handle with removeable 2.5 lb. weights and those that do not have that option. 3. If you get model with adjustable weights in handle, must order collapsible stand directly from PowerBlock so stand stores handle weights when removed from handle. As stated earlier, enjoying our PowerBlocks.

My college has recently implemented… My college has recently implemented these for team lifting and they are very awkward and hard to deal with, while they do save space they make lifts which were once easy more difficult because of the strange block shape. Furthermore, the options for weight selections are very strange starting at 12.5 and adding weight on from there meaning we are left with options such as 67.5 and that makes selecting weight very difficult.

I've owned a set of Sport Powerblocks … I've owned a set of Sport Powerblocks for about 6 years now, and truly enjoy using/owning them. The blocks are solid, work every time, and are not as bulky as comparison products. I work out at home, and these blocks saved my wife and I a lot of money compared to buying individual weights. We recently bought a second pair, and the new Sport design is even better than the old one (you have more room in the handle area). It's a great company that makes exceptional products, and they are continuing to improve and innovate!

Great products, confusing compatibility 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 of the product line that are NOT clear what works with what, ie the EZ Curl Bar, what size of stand is needed, etc. Also the pull up bar attachment to the bench is unstable and I've had issues with it, not just stability but it makes using the bench troublesome requiring a lot of extra space or disassembly each time...

Good but needs design upgrades Powerblocks are great. I got the straight bar to do even more. It has many advantages but a huge drawback is that it does not rotate, so if you want to do anytype of crossfit dynamic moves- like cleans, jerks, hang cleans, etc- your hands will get torn up.
