If you’re building the ultimate home gym and money is no object, this comprehensive premium set of dumbbells from SMRTFT is a top recommendation. The Nüobell dumbbell set is crafted from near-bulletproof machined steel that’s built to outlast you. The included portable cradles make storage easy, and the compact design means the entire set takes up far less space than a rack of typical fixed-weight dumbbells.
The adjustable design means you can use the same set of weights for every muscle group for a complete full-body workout. Drop down to a lighter load for bent-over flys, for example, or pile on the weight for more intense squats. It all adjusts seamlessly with the built-in selector, and knurled handles make for safer lifting at any weight. “If you enjoy dropsets,” notes one tester, “SMRTFT’s bells shine, because no adjustable lets you swap weights as quickly.”
The free companion app offers access to on-demand workouts with pro trainers, the ability to plan your own fitness journey, nutrition tips, and daily motivation. It’s an all-around solid product that delivers strong long-term value.
Bowflex Results Series 552 SelectTech
Pros
- Dial system makes weight easy to change
- Better metal materials than the previous version
- 2.5 and 5 lb settings allow gradual load increases
- Comes with storage trays
Cons
- Length remains the same regardless of weight selected
The Bowflex Results Series 552 SelectTech is one of the most recognizable adjustable dumbbells on the market, and the updated version improves on its predecessor with better metal materials while keeping the intuitive dial-select system that made the original so popular. The 2.5 and 5 lb increment options give lifters precise control over progressive overload, making these well-suited for both beginners and experienced athletes. Included storage trays keep the set tidy and off the floor when not in use.
The one consistent trade-off is that the dumbbell stays the same physical length regardless of how much weight is selected, which can feel unwieldy at lighter settings. Even so, the SelectTech 552 remains one of the most practical and accessible adjustable dumbbell options available for home gym use.
