The Convenience of Adjustable Weights

By Michael Waxman

Fitness and personal training have been a part of my life for over 15 years. As a personal trainer, I now do a lot of personal training at my clients' homes. A huge part of being able to train at my clients' homes is due to the quality of adjustable weights on the market today. Adjustable weights have allowed us to train without a full home gym. This article will share some of the things I love about adjustable weights and more.

Adjustable weights allow you to save a ton of space in your home. A full set of dumbbells or a bunch of machines take up a ton of space. With a quality set of adjustable weights there's no reason you can't have a great full body workout.

Storing adjustable dumbbells are very simple. They can go anywhere! I usually have mine in my car, under my bed or in a closet. Since I travel to see different clients on a regular basis, chances are I have them with me.

I wasn't sold on adjustable weights when I first came across them. At first, no company was making them with enough weight. Now you can find a good set that weight above 150 lbs. The other issue was adjusting the weight on the dumbbells, but it's incredibly easy and quick now. Most adjustable weights just require you to adjust a pin.

There are many different companies that are making quality adjustable weights these days. I personally chose to go with Ironmaster, who in my opinion make the best available. Each dumbbell weights up to 75 lbs and they have an option of purchasing another 45 lbs for each dumbbell. It's very rare I use the 120 lbs for myself or for my clients.

I purchased the Quick Lock adjustable weights by Ironmaster. The total cost of this investment was $688.00. That price included the additional weight to add on. Without the additional weights, it's $489.00 for the dumbbells and a nice rack.

I've seen high end dumbbells (up to 75 lbs) cost up to $5,000. Considering the amount of weight you're getting, adjustable dumbbells are a great deal. I always recommend buying an adjustable bench as well, since the bench is important for many exercises.

There are so many different options available and everybody has different needs. Shop around online before purchasing your set of adjustable weights and you'll be sure to find a great set! - 17269
