MEGMEG: Solid dumbbell set, though there are obvious inconsistencies with them. As you can see in the photo, they are slightly differently shaped and lumpy. This is more of an aesthetic issue than anything, though I docked them a star because I hate that they are not flat on the ends (though one is more flat than the other). I often like to set my dumbbells on their ends while using, and these are not shaped to do that. Other than that (and the fact that my first set I ordered was lost in the mail), this is a great buy. They’ve held up well for these first few months of use.

Cris: The 8 lb dumbbells were just what I wanted at a reasonable price and arrived before the date promised - so it's all good there. But I have to say I was even more impressed with the printed card that came with the order. This company proactively assures you (in a charming way) that it wants to do everything it can to make sure you're happy with your purchase. "We know things haappen! Missing parts? Damaged in transit? (don't you hate it when the carrier dropkicks your package!?!) Broke during assembly or use? If you have ANY issues/problems WHATSOEVER, give us a chance to make it right!" Makes me want to buy more from them.

Sritha: We ordered the 2 pound dumbbells and they are true to description. These are perfect for anyone looking to do some lightweight toning, especially for women with osteoporosis or arthritis. I like the matcha green colour as well, it's very cute. It's comfortable to hold in your hand for long periods and does not feel awkward at all. Would definitely recommend.

shopathomeguy: I can't believe how great these are. I wanted dumbbells that were 2 lbs each, and green is my favorite color. So lucky me that I was able to get dumbbells that were both 2 lbs and green. They are really small. Tiny even. But the perfect size for my hands. Just what I wanted and needed. I'm a male and I wanted small dumbbells to do lateral raises. I was using canned food for weights, but this is so much better. And since they are 2 lbs each instead of 16 oz like my canned food, they have a little more of a burn when I do the lateral raises. If I could change anything, it would be to maybe make the ends of the dumbbells completely flat so they can stand up vertically. But it's okay. They take little to no room when lying down horizontally and the curved ends makes them aesthetically pleasing, since every edge and the grip is curved as well.

Kyle K.: Review for both 12 lb pair and 20 lb single:

First off, I want to thank Day 1 Fitness for not price gouging during the pandemic. My research has led me to dumbbells being fairly valued between $1.00 to $1.50 / lb. These came in roughly on the high end of fair value so I was more than happy to buy. I bought the 12 lb pair and two-20 lb singles.

These are being used at least once a week and they are great. I did not find any sort of damage, unpleasant smells, defects, etc. Just open it up, quick inspection, and lock and load. Thank you!

*** Handles - Note, some reviewers felt Day1 dumbbell handles are obscenely large. I personally didn't feel there is anything wrong with these, and actually, I like the slight rounded/convex shape to the handle. Feels better in my hands than a flat bar.

JohnnieMo: I purchased 5, 8, 12 and 20 for home based workouts, and I found the 5lb version to be very small for your hands. Obviously with big man hands I'm not using the small weights often, but if I do for any high rep exercises, they are too small to fit in my hand. The other ones are excellent. Good pricing.

Adam from the NorthwestAdam from the Northwest: The weights are EASY TO HOLD AND COMFORTABLE especially with the neoprene covering. Unfortunately, the weights have SOME very small defects in the neoprene as can be seen in the photos. I assume that they are likely from manufacturing however, I think that they can be easily fixed with a bit of epoxy. Overall, we are happy with the weights and the product would have received 5 stars but unfortunately comes with some very small defects which drop their rating a bit.

Michael B.: I am a physical therapist and I ordered the 20 lb Day 1 Fitness dumbbells for my clinic since I did not have anything over 10 lbs. Being in an office building and not a gym setting, it was important to have a softer, protective coat for patient's (and my floors!) and was pleased with these. I like the bigger handle on them and the grip feels somewhat "cushiony" in my hands. So far no complaints from patients and no one has dropped them which is my number one concern with heavier weights - patient safety. Used for farmer carry, overhead carry, turkish get-up, squats, etc. Some dumbells either don't have enough grip or are too harsh on the hands for more advanced exercises like these, but this dumbbell can be used like a dumbbell and like a kettlebell.

Pros: Good protective coating, soft feeling and comfortable in hands, larger handle.

Cons: Possibly larger handle (don't know what the other weights are like).

Dumbbells aren't rocket science, but I've used some bad ones...these do the job and do it well. Highly recommend.
