I LOVE these weights!!!!! I live in a very small house and don't have a lot of room for individual weights. I don't have a gym membership and wanted to up my weights (5 lbs weren't cutting it). I saw these weights and was nervous about getting them. Most of the reviews I read were great, but the few that were negative were about the size (and the size of the user). I am 5'2 (and female), so I thought they would be too big for me. I loved them instantly! They are so easy to adjust the weight. It's easy when you have to change the weights quickly as well. I will admit that if you have the room to have individual dumbbells that that would be easier, but for someone who has very little room this is a great option. They are a lot bigger than regular hex dumbbells, and because of the size some exercises are a little awkward and take some getting used to. But overall I am SO glad I purchased these!!! I got the stand as well, and it is the perfect height for grabbing the weights without hurting your back. The stand is a bit big, so I'm not able to "hide" my weights from company. But I think I would end up hurting my back if I stored these on the floor. Maybe eventually I'll figure something out, but for now I'm glad I got the stand also. (As a side note, other negative reviews I read about the weights were that pieces broke off and did not hold the plates correctly-being dangerous, but I guess that is on an old model. The problem has been fixed and is not an issue with the newer model that is being sold now). The stand took a while for me to put together, but I got it done. It is very sturdy and holds the weights great. I wish it was smaller, but I understand it has to be bulky enough to hold the weight. No regrets with this purchase at all!!!!

I work out about 3-4 days a week using these dumbells with my workout videos. It is so easy to switch weights and keep up with videos as you work out. The weights are perfect and are the last set of dumbbells you will need.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use

I work out 6 days a week along with my boyfriend in our home gym. We were both using different weights spread all over the floor. Now that we have the new dumb-bells, we have the EASE and quickness of them- and were able to get rid of all of our other weights. We now have only ONE set that is neatly located in one location!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles

Solid set. I purchased the dumbbells and stand for those days that I am not at the gym, so this is a great idea if you have young kids. The stand assembly took some time, but this was not a problem and was expected. The dumbbells did not require assembly, they just slide right out of the box, to then be lifted/set into place on the stands. Very nice and ready to use, they seem to have thought of everything. I really liked the instructional video reminding you on the proper form, technique, and timing of muscle exercise.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional

i love these dumbbells !!! My only concern is that I wish they didn't feel loose when I use them. They feel a little like dumbbells that have removable plates with a spin collar and the spin collar isn't tightened down enough. They feel like the plates are a little loose but thats just they way they are built which is just fine, they need to have space to move around. Other than that, they are AWESOME !!!!!!
