"Took a little getting used to, but totally worth it"
It took me a few workouts to get the hang of adjusting the weights, but once I figured it out, they became super easy to use. I’m really happy with them now, they work great and save me so much space. Definitely a 5-star buy for me.

"I’ve been using my PowerBlocks for a…"
I’ve been using my PowerBlocks for a few months now, i’m really happy with them. The build quality feels genuinely solid, like when you pick them up you can tell they’re not made with cheap parts or anything flimsy. There’s no weird rattling or loose-feeling pieces, which was something I was kind of paying attention to because adjustable dumbbells can sometimes feel a little sketchy if the mechanism isn’t tight. Changing the weight is also really easy once you get used to it, and everything still clicks in and locks up securely every time. I know it’s only been a few months, but based on how they feel so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if these last me for years.

"Really happy with my PowerBlocks"
Well... I’ve been using my PowerBlocks for a few weeks now, the range of motion is way better than I thought it would be. They look a little bulky at first, but they don’t really feel that way during presses or curls. It took me about one workout to get used to the handle, and now it feels totally normal. Overall, I’m super happy with them.

"I’ve had these for about a year…"
I’ve had these for about a year, and they’re still holding up well overall. That said, one of the handles is starting to feel a little loose now, which is kind of disappointing. I expected them to feel a bit sturdier for longer...

"Really liking the grip so far"
I’ve been using my PowerBlock set for a few weeks now and the grip feels really good. It’s not too rough, but it doesn’t feel slippery either.. my hands don’t get tired as fast which has been a nice surprise

"Great for saving space"
I got these from PowerBlock because my spare room is tiny and I didn’t want dumbbells all over the place. These blocks just sits in the corner and basically replace a whole set, which was exactly what I needed. It did take me a few workouts to get used to the shape, but after that it feels normal. Switching the weight is quick too. Overall I’m really happy with them, mostly because they saved me so much space.

"Good weights, but the rattling is frustrating"
I do like the PowerBlocks overall, especially since they save a ton of space, but the rattling is more annoying than I expected. When I’m doing curls or presses, the plates make a lot of noise and sometimes feel a little loose. Nothing has broken, so they’re definitely still usable, but they just don’t feel as solid or quiet as I hoped. What’s also frustrating is that it’s not really clear who’s supposed to own this issue if you have a problem, the retailer, the manufacturer, or support in general. I just wish the plates fit tighter and the whole thing felt a bit more buttoned up...

"Well packed with only a tiny box dent"
Mine arrived nicely packed overall. The outer box had one small dent, but to me it looked like normal shipping wear and didn’t seem like a big deal.

"Those small jumps make a big difference"
I’ve had my PowerBlocks for a few months now, the small weight increases are my favorite part. Just a heads up if you’re used to regular dumbbells with bigger jumps: don’t underestimate how much those little increments matter.
For curls, shoulder work, and rehab-type exercises, going up too fast can mess with your form or make things feel way harder than they should. These let me move up gradually without feeling like I’m forcing it or risking irritation.
They’re easy to adjust once you get the hang of them, and I’m really happy I went with these. Fair warning though, they might spoil you because bigger weight jumps feel annoying after using them.

"Had a small issue with my…"
Had a small issue with my order, so I emailed them expecting the usual thrilling adventure of waiting forever. But nope, they actually got back to me quickly and fixed it without turning it into a whole production. really appreciated that.

"Fast, Easy Shipping"
Not gonna lie, I ordered from powerblock expecting it to take a while, but it showed up way quicker than I thought. I got the tracking info fast, and the boxes arrived just a few days later with no weird delays or issues. Everything was packed well too. Overall, really happy with how smooth and fast the shipping was.

"Fit my old set, no problem at all"
I ordered this expansion kit for my older PowerBlock set, and I was a little worried it maybe wouldn’t line up right. But it fit fine, no issue there. Took me maybe 2 minutes to put on, if that. Nice, not needing to buy a totally new pair just to go heavier

"Solid for at-home workouts"
I’m usually skeptical when fitness stuff comes with all that slick “game-changing” marketing talk, but this has actually been useful. I can switch between curls, presses, and rows without taking up a bunch of space, which is really what I wanted. Changing the weights felt a little awkward at first, but after a few workouts I got the hang of it. Handy overall.

"Solid stand that feels safe"
My PowerBlock stand has been really steady so far. It doesn’t wobble at all, even when I put the weights back a little quickly. it’s just nice when something is built properly and feels safe to use, because that’s what you’d hope for with exercise gear. Really happy with it.

"Easy, Smooth Experience from Start to Finish"
Using powerblock reminded me of how relieved I felt the last time I finally found exactly what I needed without jumping through a bunch of hoops. The site was really easy to get around, and I found the dumbbells and the info I was looking for quickly. Pages loaded without any issues, and the product details were clear enough that I didn’t have to dig around forever. Checkout was smooth too, which I always appreciate. Overall, nothing felt confusing or frustrating, just a simple, easy shopping experience.

"Selector pins seem really secure"
I’ve been using my PowerBlocks regularly, and so far the selector pins feel really solid. I’m not exactly an expert on this stuff, but they haven’t slipped or felt loose at all. Changing the weight is quick, and I feel confident using them at home

"Surprisingly easy to get the part I needed"
I’ve had my old PowerBlock set for years, and when one little part broke I figured I was probably out of luck. I was kind of annoyed at first, but also impressed because their site actually had the exact replacement part I needed. Ordering it was quick, and once it showed up my weights were back in use again. I still think spare parts shouldn’t be something you have to hunt for, but I’m glad I didn’t have to buy a whole new set

"I’ve been using my PowerBlock set…"
I’ve been using my PowerBlock set for a few weeks now, and overall I’m happy with it. Adjusting the weight is really simple, and the selector pin is quick to move, which is way better than having plates scattered all over the floor. Just a heads up to anyone getting these: make sure you double-check that the pin is lined up correctly before lifting, especially if you’re tired or rushing. It’s not a huge issue, but it’s something to pay attention to. Still giving it 4 stars because it’s been much more convenient than regular dumbbells.
