When it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, Bowflex isn't your only choice. FitRX offers a compelling alternative at a significantly lower cost. Currently, you can grab a pair of FitRX Adjustable Dumbbells for just $196 (or a single dumbbell for $98). In contrast, a similar Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbell set costs more than twice as much. Plus, Walmart provides free shipping, a major perk considering the package weighs over 100 pounds.

FitRX Adjustable Dumbbell Pair (52.5lbs Each)

FitRX 52.5lb Adjustable Dumbbell Pair

Each FitRX dumbbell adjusts from 5 to 50 pounds, offering 15 weight increments (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 52.5 lbs) with a simple dial turn. These adjustable dumbbells keep weight plates neatly organized in a compact tray, saving significant floor space compared to a full rack of individual dumbbells. While a stand isn’t included, you can purchase one with the dumbbells for $249, though any sturdy table or stand works just as well.

Although I haven’t tested this specific brand, most adjustable dumbbells share a similar, cleverly engineered design with minimal moving parts and no electronics. FitRX dumbbells have earned strong praise at Walmart, with over 5,000 reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Dumbbells are ideal for home workouts, especially for those short on space. A single pair unlocks a wide variety of exercises targeting nearly every muscle in your upper and lower body. Pair free weight routines with cardio or bodyweight exercises like pushups, burpees, or squats, and you may never need additional equipment.
