Product Description

dumbbell
steel material

Generic fixed-weight dumbbells are the most common type of dumbbells available, and you'll find them in any gym or fitness center. As their name suggests, these dumbbells are not expandable and weight can't be added or reduced. Commonly made from iron or steel, fixed-weight dumbbells are incredibly durable. Iron hex dumbbells, which are shaped like a hexagon at the ends, are very popular because they don't roll around. Rubber-coated versions are also available to protect your floors if the weights get dropped. Fixed-weight dumbbells also come in lighter versions coated in vinyl or neoprene to make them more comfortable to hold.

While fixed-weight dumbbells are easy to use and inexpensive if you only need a pair or two, the cost can add up quickly if you want a complete set that contains multiple pairs of dumbbells. Since most of these dumbbells are so similar, no one brand stands out in reviews. Weider, Cap Barbell and Body Solid are popular manufacturers.
