Premium Rubber Coated Hex Dumbbell Weight Set, Multiple Packages

These weights were a perfect addition into my exercise routine. Very sturdy and solid. They do at first have a smell but for me it was short lived. Good grip, so far I am using them 3-6 days a week and looking forward to the gains they're going to bring.

Great quality. At first there was somewhat a strong smell but with time it goes away.Not sure how long it took. I've had them for over a year and it's been a very long time since I remember them smelling. I really like them and totally recommend them.

Below you will find my original review. I am updating the review because the smell is so bad, it has pretty much made the weights unusable. I live in a 3,500 sqft house, and the smell is so bad that has permeated the whole house. I had to put the weights outside. I haven’t even been able to use the weights because they smell so bad, and the smell clings to your hands. I would recommend buying something else.Below is my original review.The weights themselves seem pretty good, which in my opinion, is the most important part.The stand came without any instructions, or tools to assemble the unit with. Assembly is pretty straightforward. It would have been nice if the unit would have come with the hex-key and wrench needed to tighten the bolts. Also, there were a few washers that were useless because the middle of the washer hadn’t been punched out completely.As you’ll see in the majority of the reviews, everything in the box smells. The moment I picked up the box I was met with the awful smell. The smell is strong enough to permeate a whole room. My hands smelled pretty bad after setting everything up. The smell is reminiscent of diesel.I wanted to give a two star review because of the smell and lack of tools, but again, I think the weights are the most important part, and the weights are solid.

Purchased these weights on sale on Prime Day. The box arrived severely damaged, just due to how heavy the item was, but thankfully nothing inside the box was damaged.There were no instructions to assemble the stand, but it was fairly simple to figure out and did not take too long.The weights did have a VERY strong smell of rubber/plastic when they arrived, but after they aired out for a week or two it became less noticeable.As for performance, they are well made with grooves to help with grip. They’re not as comfortable as the neoprene style weights, but they are not uncomfortable to use. I really like the rack they came with, it looks sleek and makes storage easy.Overall they are versatile weights and perform as expected. They’re great for a beginner like myself. However they ultimately lost a star due to the bad odor, shipping issues, and not including instructions to assemble the stand.

After a few months with the Fitvids Premium Hex Dumbbells, I'm thoroughly impressed with their quality and functionality. The rubber coating is thick and durable, protecting both the weights and my floors while keeping noise to a minimum during workouts. The hexagonal shape is a game-changer, preventing rolls and providing stability when used for pushups or other exercises requiring the weights to stay put. The chrome handles have excellent knurling that provides a secure grip even during intense workouts, though I'd recommend chalk for particularly sweaty sessions. Overall, these dumbbells are a solid investment for any home gym - they're well-balanced, built to last, and versatile enough for any workout routine.

When I finally got a shipment that had all the pieces and instructions it was easy to put together and is great quality. I have a dumbbell set from 5lb-50lbs and it holds all of them. It’s a little wobbly and not as sturdy as I’d like but it’s sturdy enough and good construction. It’s not all steel like the description says. First package didn’t come with all the parts and had parts missing as well as no instructions but I was able to replace it easily and the second package had everything. Funnels are oily but that’s to be expected. Overall I’m happy.

Love these weights. Did not come with instructions on assembly, but it was pretty straight forward. Others have commented about the smell, yes they smell like rubber. Leave them outside for a few days and the smell goes away. It wasn't that bothersome for me. They work like any dumbbells do. They store really easily and are a great addition for any home gym

I just received these weights yesterday afternoon. I was so pumped to get pumped!!! I bought these for $99 with free shipping. Super great deal!! However, As I began unpacking the weights I was hit with a terrible rubbery-industrial smell, and the weights were covered in a light oily substance. I wiped them off with a damp cloth with dish soap and immediately wiped them dry with a microfiber cloth to get rid of the oil. That worked well. There are still some spots I need to go over again.These weights are intended to be used inside my office/gym and hopefully this smell will go-away soon. I suggest letting the weights sit in the garage or outside until the smell dissipates. I will update after a couple weeks regarding the smell.One of the 10lb weights came with some visible rust right out of the box. and this really drops the rating. I'd like a replacement. I don't want to send the entire set back for one weight. I will also update the rating based on the customer service for the replacement.I did not put together the stand as I had already purchased one with 5 slots (hoping to get some 25lbs soon). The stand that comes with the weights is comparable, except that it only has 4 slots and is just a bit shorter.
