Why Pay $400 for Bowflex When You Can Get These FitRX Adjustable Dumbbells for Half the Price

Bowflex isn’t the only option when it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets. FitRX is another popular brand at a much lower price point. Right now, you can pick up a pair of FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells for only $196 (or a single dumbbell for $98). A comparable set of Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbells costs more than double the price. Walmart even offers free shipping, which is great since the package weighs in at well over 100 pounds.

Each FitRx dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds to 50 pounds, and the weight can be adjusted across 15 increments (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 52.5 lbs) with just a turn of the dial. The advantage of an adjustable dumbbell is that the plates are all neatly contained in a small tray, which means this set will take up far less floor space than an entire rack of individual dumbbells. A stand isn’t included; you can buy the dumbbells with a stand for $249 but honestly, any sturdy stand or table will do.

I haven’t personally tried out this exact brand, but most of these adjustable dumbbels are built in a similar way. They’re cleverly engineered and feature a relatively simple design with few moving parts and no electronics. The FitRx dumbbells have plenty of positive reviews on Walmart, with over 5,000 users rating it an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Free weights are a great choice for anyone who wants to work out at home but is limited on space. A pair of dumbbells is all the equipment you need to get access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. Supplement your free weight exercises with cardio and other workouts that use your own body weight as resistance (like pushups, burpees, or squats) and you may never need to purchase more equipment.
