I was going to buy neoprene dumbbells in a sporting goods store, but left without buying anything due to the poor quality of what they had available. I came home and ordered Fitness Republic dumbbells, and I'm glad I did because they turned out to be just what I was looking for. They arrived in great condition and the construction is good quality. The dumbbells are comfortable to hold and have a large enough grip area that my hand fits easily without being squished.

The dumbbells feel good in my hands, the grip isn’t too wide – for ref. I’m a 5’5” lady.
Fun colour 🙂

These are nice weights.

I will say that I was well-pleased with this product. It arrived promptly and in fine condition, and was exactly what I had expected. Now that I find my routine (I am only in the first few weeks of a relatively high-intensity free-weight and body-only program) requires at least one intermediate dumbbell between 10lbs and the 20lbs one I am reviewing, I plan to purchase one or two more pairs in the near future. The two 20lbs-dumbbells are too heavy for my flyes, standing presses etc. (at least if I want to perform more than one or two reps…), and the 10lbs ones I already have are becoming too light. I only wish, because of the quality of the Fitness Republic dumbbells (and the fact that I prefer neoprene to straight metal), that they offered dumbbells heavier than 20lbs, as I foresee needing them within a month or two.
Overall, 10/10 satisfied.

I like these weights, I bought the 10lbs ones. They are a bit long for weights.. but still are comfortable, and easy to keep a hold of em.
