Key Benefits & Specifications of the PowerBlock 2.5 to 50lbs Set.

It would be safe to say that any product from PowerBlock, including this Personal Trainer 2.5 to 50lbs set, is worth the money. For this product in particular, the following facts greatly impressed us:

Weight Range:

The weight range on the PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustble 2.5 to 50lbs Dumbbell set is exemplary. With a minimum weight of just 2.5lbs (one of the lowest minimums we have come across), extendable right up to a significant and challenging 50lbs (enough for even an experienced gym-goer) - this range is decent enough to appeal to almost anyone.

In addition to the span of weights, incremental changes are available in steps of 2.5lbs - once again an exemplary figure which most other dumbbell sets would struggle to meet or beat.

Adjustment Mechanism:

The adjustment mechanism on the PowerBlock Personal Trainer set is via selector pin. Whilst this is far from being the most sophisticated and modern method of weight changing, it is the one which the greatest proportion of people will be used to. Pin selection systems are widely incorporated in to modern weight equipment at gyms and fitness centres across the world.

Extended Warranty Period:

Unlike other manufacturers, PowerBlock continues to offer its competitive 10 year warranty on the Personal Trainer range - offering you peace of mind and a guarantee of the quality put in to the product.

Downsides & Negative Aspects of the PowerBlock Personal Trainer Set.

As far as performance issues are concerned, the PowerBlock Personal Trainer 2.5 to 50lbs Adjustable Dumbbell set continues to baffle us. Once again we were unable to find any inherent issues with this product. From the materials used, right through the the execution of the weight changing mechanism, PowerBlock again scores 10 out of 10 all around.

The one area we would love to see some improvement on is the price. Indeed, the pricing of this particular product is in line with the industry averages and the other products in the PowerBlock range itself. If the manufacturer could reduce the price even slightly however, we feel they could gain a much larger segment of the market going in to the future.
