I keep these dumbbells in my home office so I that I am constantly reminded to work out with them whenever I have a few minutes free. Because they are so attractive I don’t have to keep them hidden. Besides that they are a wonderful conversation piece.

This is the perfect “in between” weight. Not too light and not too heavy to lift high reps bicep workout to Jari Love’s cd’s or Kelley Coffey-Meyer (my two favorites). The rubber coated ends save my floor from getting scratched and the grip is comfortable and non-slip.

I looked for rubber-coated hex dumbbells online for weeks, and couldn’t seem to find what I was looking for (something similar to the gym I used to go to), not to mention a set that was less than $100.
This was not only the best set I found, they politely called to confirm my order, it got here in 2 days, and it was $25 cheaper than anything else that even came close!
Highly recommended…

We own three sizes of this dumbbell, 8, 15, and 25 pound.
Pro:
+ Good looking
+ Seems well manufactured
+ Sturdy
+ Hex shape won’t let them roll around
+ Weights permanently affixed to the bar so won’t rattle
+ Coated weights are temperature nuetral when they make contact with skin, which will be nice in the winter
Con:
- Coated with an oil when arrived, definitely will need to be cleaned (the oil got into/aggravated my eye)
- Bar is a “bell” shape, so center is fatter than ends, for the bigger weight my hand tends to slip off the center and my hand ends up right against the rubber end
Note: The 8-pound dumbell has a smaller diameter handle bar than the other dumbells we own.
Bottom line: recommended, bought an additional size after purchasing and using the weights I originally ordered.
