Not bad, not goodApril 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This item isnt really what I would call good quality. Not bad for the price, but still not great either. And after shipping it cost me about 80 dollars total. The weights are nice, and comfortable, however the plastic stand is very poor quality and the assembly screws strip very easily. So be careful what size screwdriver you use... or trust me, they will strip and you wont be able to get them in any further or extract them. Once finally assembled it is very wobbly if the bottom two purple weights aren't there balancing it. So in other words, if you are using the heavy 8 prouder weights and have the other 2 sets (3,5 lbs) up top the stand will most likely fall over, and if you are very unlucky, break in the process. If this were for me I wouldn't care too much, but I got it as a gift for my mother... so I am embarrassed to say the least (she's too nice to say anything about the quality.) In the end I definitely wouldn't buy this as a gift for someone else, but if you don't mind the stand giving you fits then its not bad as a personal starter weight set.
Cap Barbell (3#,5#,8# Neoprene) ... Great STARTER Dumbell SetJune 25, 2006 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I purchased my Cap Barbell neoprene dumbbell 3#/5#/8# set from another online fitness store about 6 months ago. This set is a great starter set for toning and weight training at home.
These are good quality dumbbells (comparable to Troy brand) and are colored red, aqua and purple. Neoprene dumbbells are less damaging on flooring, don't smell bad, and (because of their hex shape) don't roll away. They are also easier to grip and more gentle on your hands (especially if you prefer to weight train without gloves).
I use these dumbbells almost daily and really like them.
