Urethane Dumbbells

As urethane is much harder than rubber it offers a higher resistance to degradation. Urethane encased dumbbells are therefore extremely long wearing and will not be affected by temperature changes or sunlight. This can be important if your home gym is in a basement or outside area.

Urethane dumbbells also don’t smell like rubber weights. In fact, they’re basically odourless. This is ideal if you are storing your weights in your home. The one downside is that urethane weights are slightly more expensive, but many think they are worth it as they often come in smaller weight variances and can absorb a lot of impact.

Buying a urethane dumbbell set

Consider what your fitness goals are when buying your urethane dumbbell set. Are you looking at building serious muscle or are you trying to add tone and definition? This will help you decide what weight range of dumbbells to buy. We stock a range of options with both smooth and knurled grips so you can find a set to suit your preferences and fitness goals.

You also have the option of round dumbbells and hex dumbbells, so consider what shape you would like. Many opt for hexagonal as they stack easily and due to their shape, they won’t roll around on the floor. They are also useful when performing certain exercises like push ups. No matter what shape you go for, think about how you will store your urethane weights. Many brands offer dumbbell racks which will keep your dumbbells safely stored away when not in use.

Finally, be sure to buy your weights from a reputable brand as many top-of-the-range urethane dumbbells come with a three-year warranty for peace of mind.
