13 Easily Adjustable Dumbbells for At-Home Weightlifting

13 Easily Adjustable Dumbbells for At-Home Weightlifting

If you enjoy working out at home but don't have the space (or money) for a full weight rack, a set of these adjustable dumbbells is exactly what you need.


Despite your best intentions, getting to the gym every day doesn't always happen. It can be hard to fit exercise in between work, kids, and your social life. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), there's no longer an excuse for skipping a workout because adjustable dumbbells bring the gym to your home. They're perfect for those tight on space, and they cost a lot less than a full rack of weights. Check out our top picks for the best adjustable dumbbells and keep your body in shape all year long.


For $50, you'll get two handles, four 2.5-pound weights, four 5-pound weights, four collars, and a case to store them all in. This is a great beginner set for someone who's newer to lifting. Bonus: It's rust-resistant.


Whether you're starting a home gym or replacing your tired old equipment, these are the perfect solution. Simply twist the knob to adjust these weights from 10 all the way up to 50 pounds. But try to focus on your form, rather than admiring yourself in the mirror.


Topping out at 25 pounds, this dumbbell (sold individually) is a bit on the lighter side. When you're done, place it on the included rack and slide it under your bed. The rack makes storage easy, and you won't have to worry about them rolling out of reach.


Bowflex pioneered adjustable dumbbells, so the price is justified by the quality. With this set, you're essentially getting 15 sets of weights in two compact dumbbells. An easy-to-use dial makes adjustments a cinch, and each dumbbell maxes out at 52.5 pounds. While they might be for the more advanced lifter, they do scale down to just 5 pounds, so they're great for the whole family.


Curl, press, or squat with these 50-pound adjustable dumbbells. They have nine different weight settings, making it easy to find the right weight and work your way up. It's also available in a 25-pound pair.


Adjust these weights in just 15 seconds flat — it's company-assured! The handles and screws weigh 10 pounds each, and you can add on plates in 2.5 or 5-pound increments, up to a total of 45 pounds per weight. The heavy-duty welded steel feels just like what you'd lift at the gym.


If you're looking to lift once or twice a week and are just starting out, there's no need to spend a fortune. Less than $60 will get you a set of dumbbells that can be adjusted from 5.5 to 20 pounds per hand. And you'll appreciate the comfortable ergonomic grips when you're doing high-rep sets.


Place the pin in these dumbbells anywhere from 3 to 24 pounds, and start lifting. They're adjustable in 3-pound increments. This set also has an average of 4.5 stars from over 400 customer reviews on Amazon, with many raving about the colorful look and comfortable feel.


The wide range of weight options is perfect for a family with both a light and heavy lifter. The plates weigh anywhere from 5 to 50 pounds each, making this the heaviest set in our review. When fully loaded with 12 plates, each dumbbell tops out at 100 pounds, so you won't need to build a bigger set when you get stronger.


You'll love the firm grip that the textured handles on this set give you. This model has multiple weight choices, with the lightest dumbbells weighing just 40 pounds each and the heaviest topping out at 200 pounds per weight! These plates can fit on a standard barbell, too, should you happen to have one in your basement.
