Best Dumbbell Set For Home Gym India
1. FLEXNEST DUMBBELLS - Budget Quick Change
If you're looking for some budget quick change adjustable dumbbells which you won't have to spend a huge time changing in between sets then these flexnest dumbbells will be my go to ones. For INR 16,000 for a pair some people will say they aren't budget but I'd like to argue that home gym equipments in general are very expensive and if you want the quick adjustability feature then these currently are the cheapest that you can get. There's not a quick change adjustable dumbbell india that is cheaper than them. Let's discuss some Pros & Cons
PROS
✔ Dial mechanism changes weights in 5 secs
✔ Replaces 15 pars of dumbbells
✔ Plates are made from metal
✔ Budget friendly
✔ Low weight increments
CONS
✘ Big dumbbells size that doesn't change
✘ Cannot be dropped
✘ Lots of plastic used
✘ Rubber gri
VERDICT
Honestly, I would buy them only if I were looking for quick change adjustable dumbbells in a budget. I would say the biggest issue I faced with adjustable dumbbells is changing the weights between every set which takes atleast 60-90 secs and is a pain. These completely take away that headache and the weight changing mechanism works great.
I would only buy them for that reason.
However for that quick change mechanismm you are losing the traditional size of dumbbells as these do not change in size no matter what weight is on them, for some exercises it can be an issue however you can work around it. Another issue might be that you can't drop these dumbbells, and honestly if you're thinking about building a home gym I would recommend you to get into a habit of not dropping dumbbells.
You really can't use dumbbells in a home gym like you would in a commercial gym and if you don't drop these flexnest dumbbells I'm pretty sure they are going to last you a long time. Overall I will recommend these dumbbells to most people. Buy them below from the link below to help support our blog as it's the only way I monetize this website
2. STEEL DUMBBELLS SET 50KG - BEST BUDGET
These are leeway steel dumbbells set 50kg and in my opinion these are the best & cheapest pair of adjustable dumbbells india. Coming in at a price of INR 9,000 for a pair of 25kgs,these dumbbells are much cheaper than the flexnest dumbbells whilst overall being a much better build quality. The whole dumbbell from plates to rods to star locks all are made from cast iron with a chrome coating to prevent rusting. It's a fully metal built.
However being a star lock adjustable dumbbell the biggest con with all of them is that they take around 60-90 secs to change the weights on both the dumbbells which is time consuming and becomes annoying in between sets. You cannot perform drop sets with them either. It's not a big problem for people who keep the weights same in every set, however can be an issue for people who increase/decrease in every set. Let's discuss some Pros and Cons
PROS
✔ All metal build quality
✔ Great quality dumbbell rods and locks
✔ Weight plates are very smooth
✔ Saves space
✔ Can be loaded till 30kgs for a single dumbbell
✔ Small size at 14 inches max length
CONS
✘ Takes 60-90 secs to adjust
✘ High weight increments
VERDICT
I would say the only con with this adjustable dumbbells set is the weight changing mechanism which takes a long time, apart from that there are really not much cons to talk about, honestly in my opinion this is one of the best dumbbells set for home gym India considering the price and value you're getting for it. It is one of the cheapest as well, however not compromising on the quality anyhow.
This steel dumbbell set will probably last you an entire lifetime if you keep it indoors and you wouldn't really feel the need to upgrade it unless you want to lift heavier than 30kgs. You can easily drop these dumbbells as well without worrying because of the all metal build quality. The chrome coating looks great and is durable as well so you won't have to worry about rusting with these dumbbells.
Overall I do recommend these to everyone and leeway offers you to customize the weight plates of these dumbbells the way you want, all you need to do is place the order and email them with your desired customization.

3. BULLROCK ADJUSTABLE DUMBBELLS
If you're looking for the most durable adjustable dumbbells which work like traditional hex dumbbells and are ready to compromise on quick adjustment then these bullrock adjustable dumbbells will be the ones for you. The pricing of them is premium, comparable to the cockatoo adjustable dumbbells, however I will say that the quality is very premium as well.
These are made from all metal construction and can be kept on lap, unlike traditional spin lock dumbbells which can't be due to the design. However as these have a flat bottom you can easily keep them on your lap and use them how you would use regular hex dumbbells. They are also coated with E coat which is very rust resistant. Let's discuss some Pros & Cons
PROS
✔ All metal construction
✔ Great knurling
✔ E coat for rust resistance
✔ Small size comparable to bouncer dumbbells
✔ Can be dropped
✔ Low weight increments
CONS
✘ Takes 60-90 secs to adjust
✘ E coat scratches easily
VERDICT
As you can see there are not many cons to them apart from the fact that the design that they come in takes 60-90 secs to adjust so you can't perform supersets/dropsets and it might becoming annoying trying to change weights in between a set. However you do have to sacrifice versatility for build quality.
The bullrock and cockatoo adjustable dumbbells are very similarly priced and if you're confused between the two I would say if you want a more durable dumbbell with a better knurling than get the bullrock adjustable dumbbells however if you want a fast changing dumbbell then cockatoo will be my choice. You have to sacrifice something in every adjustable dumbbell as there's still not a pair of adjustable dumbbells that does it all.
I do think these bullrock adjustable dumbbells have the potential to last an entire lifetime with minimal wear and tear and overall they're a very hardcore piece of adjustable dumbbells and caters to the audience who wants to lift heavy and drop these dumbbells. I highly recommend them. Buy them below from the link below to help support our blog as it's the only way I monetize this website.
4. BULLROCK HEX DUMBBELLS
If you're looking for the most premium hex dumbbells on the market with a fully knurled straight handles then these will be the ones for you. The bullrock hex dumbbells feature a 32mm thick straight handle with standard 1.2mm knurling which is used in barbells. I would say the knurling is grippy however not very aggressive for higher rep work.
Bullrock uses top of the quality materials and I don't think it's any different with these dumbbells. That matt black look really appeals a lot to the eyes and I'm pretty sure these are going to be one of the most durable hex dumbbells on the market. Let's discuss some Pros and Cons
PROS
✔ Great knurling
✔ Rubber doesn't smell
✔ Matt finish
✔ 32mm straight handle
CONS
✘ Pricing
VERDICT
The pricing of these dumbbells are very high in my opinion, at the end of the day they are hex dumbbells, obviously better than thee competition however the pricing isn't competitive I would say.
If you are okay paying the price, then I do think these are some of the most durable hex dumbbells that you will get in India. If you love the straight 32mm knurled handle then this will be an obvious choice for you. I would say buy a pair and see how much you love the handle design this way you can get more later if you really love it over contour handles or go with contour handle dumbbells instead to save some money.
5. RUBX RUBBER COATED DUMMBELLS
If you're looking for some cheap but great quality Bouncer/round dumbbells then these rubx rubber coated dumbbells will be my choice for you. Coming at a price of around 150/kg, these are some of the cheapest round dumbbells that you will find on amazon, however there really hasn't been any compromise in quality.
These also feature a matt black look and feel which means they are not going to get destroyed overtime and also they don't smell. In this price range I would've expected a compromise on the rubber quality, however with these dumbbells there really doesn't seem to be any, let's discuss some Pros and Cons
PROS
✔ Good knurling
✔ Good quality rubber
✔ Doesn't smell
✔ Matt finish looks good for long
CONS
✘ For the price I don't see any
VERDICT
Some people would like to point out that the contour handle is a con but for the price it's really a minor thing that doesn't really affect your grip during the workouts. I would say it doesn't matter much but if you want to get nitpicky with it then yes, a straight handle would've been better.
However for the price I really can't complain. These have been bought by a lot of our subscribers and I've only heard positive reviews from everyone else as well. It's really great to see that they haven't compromised on the quality of the rubber, (it doesn't smell or stink) just to lower the costs.
I would recommend you to go for these dumbbells without second thoughts, in a home gym setting these are going to last a very long time and overall you will be very happy with your purchase.
If you would like to buy any of the dumbbells for yourself, I would really appreciate it if you use our links to make the purchase, it will be the best way to support this blog and help us make more such reviews in the future, thanks!
DUMBBELLS FAQ's
Fixed vs Adjustable Dumbbells?
I would say if you need 3-4 pairs of dumbbells then get fixed dumbbells as they won't take up much space however if you need a lot of pairs of dumbbells especially ranging in the heavier category then get adjustable dumbbells as they will save you a lot of space.
Hex vs Round Dumbbells?
Bouncer dumbbells are smaller than hex dumbbell in length and save more space. However hex dumbbells because of their hexagonal design don't roll on the ground which round dumbbells do.
