Adjustable dumbbells

Dumbbells that let you change the weight with a dial or pins, replacing a full rack of fixed weights in a small space.

Why it matters

Adjustable dumbbells give you a range of weights in the space of one pair, ideal for HDB flats and condos.

🇸🇬 In Singapore

Singapore’s physical activity guidelines recommend muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week alongside regular aerobic activity. Adjustable dumbbells make that easy in a compact HDB flat.

Tips before you buy

  • Check the weight range and step size.
  • Try the adjustment mechanism if possible.
  • Store them on a rack or mat.
