When it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, Bowflex isn't your only choice. PowerBlock offers a compelling alternative at a significantly lower price point. For a limited time, Woot! (an Amazon-owned platform) is offering the PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 (5 to 50lb) adjustable dumbbell set for just $239.99, a whopping $149 less than a comparable set of Bowflex SelectTechs. If you're looking for more than 50 pounds per dumbbell, PowerBlock has you covered with expansion kits that can boost the weight up to 70 or even 90 pounds. Both the Stage 2 (50 to 70lb) and Stage 3 (70 to 90lb) kits are also on sale at Woot! for $119.99 each. Amazon Prime members enjoy free shipping, while others pay a flat rate of $6, which is quite reasonable considering the package will weigh over 100 pounds.

Each dumbbell in the base PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 set can be adjusted from 10 pounds up to 50 pounds. With a simple turn of a dial, you can increase the weight in 5-pound increments. The design is space-efficient, with all plates neatly contained, taking up far less room than a full rack of individual dumbbells. While a stand isn't included, there's one available on sale, but if you're watching your budget, any sturdy stand or table will suffice.
One of the standout features of these PowerBlocks is their scalability. When you're ready to go beyond 50 pounds, you don't need to purchase a new set. The expansion kits allow you to add more weight to your existing PowerBlocks, up to 90 pounds, at a very reasonable cost.
The quality of these PowerBlock dumbbells is impressive. Having used them myself, I can attest that they are as solid and well-constructed as the Bowflex SelectTech. Most components are made of metal, not plastic, ensuring durability. The handles are rubber-coated for a secure grip, and the weight adjustment dial is smooth and user-friendly. PowerBlock stands behind their product with a five-year warranty, which is a testament to their confidence in the product's longevity.
Free weights are an excellent choice for home workouts, especially when space is at a premium. A pair of dumbbells provides access to a wide variety of exercises that can target nearly every muscle in your upper and lower body. Combine these with cardio and bodyweight exercises like pushups, burpees, or squats, and you might find you don't need any additional equipment.
