Avoid this brand at all costs!! Broke within months with light, recreational use...
Hi all - please DO NOT buy this dumbbell set. My set broke within months and I can't even get through to the company for a replacement. Extremely disappointing. Plus look at the pictures and read below... that piece was bound to break at some point. I also use the weights 1-2x per week and never drop them and we have a soft gym floor.
I know dumbbells are in short supply right now but please, please do yourself a favor and wait until Bowflex or someone else is back in stock. These were great for a few months but at about month 4 this little plastic piece broke off on one of the weights... and now the weights on that side of the dumbbell do not stay in place and shift and hit my hand and it is not usable.
It could be a fluke... but I have made numerous calls to the company in Ohio and leave voicemails and now response. I just want a replacement piece! It's a 5lb piece that I just need replaced.
All the weight sits on that little piece of plastic that you can see intact in my first two pictures and then on the third picture you can see it broke off on one of the weights (the white stuff is gorilla glue... which did not hold up either). I just can't imagine this is good design.
TO CORE FITNESS - PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME... I JUST WANT A NEW PIECE. I'M HOPING THIS IS A FLUKE BUT YOU WON'T ANSWER OR RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS.
