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.

There's really nothing to say. The … There's really nothing to say. The dumbels arrived in a relatively timely manner (perfectly adequate given that I'd ordered them near Christmas. One arrived a full day earlier than the other which was, for a few minutes, very confusing and not a little worrisome.

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.

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...

Powerblock weights I like how the weights are interchangeable but I think the opening to grab the handle should be much wider. I also think the metal parts should be covered with rubber. When I do exercises that require one dumbell and you switch from one hand to the other, I cannot get my hand inside to grab the handle to switich hands and have cut my hand 3 times. I try grabbing the outside but hurts my hand holding onto all the metal bars.

Great company, good products. We've made three purchases from PowerBlock and had no issues whatsoever with billing, shipping, or the condition of the products. The U series are our favorite adjustables. They aren't a perfect design, I would give the U70's 4/5 stars, but they seem to be the best adjustable dumbbells out there, and they are extremely high quality, they work exactly as advertised.
