Rubber Dumbbells

Some gym equipment comes and goes in popularity, but the humble dumbbell is most definitely here to stay. Rubber dumbbell sets are in fact made from steel but are coated in rubber. This provides a good protective coating for the dumbbell which makes them more durable, resistant to rust, and many are even waterproof. They will also protect your gym floors if you drop them.

Rubber dumbbells are also quieter than non-rubber dumbbells. So, if your home gym is very much in the centre of your home and you don’t want to be noisy with clanking dumbbells, these could be a great choice for you.

Buying rubber dumbbells

When buying rubber-coated dumbbells, consider the weight range that you need so that your collection can grow with you as you get stronger. We offer rubber dumbbells in a range of weights, from 2.5kg to 50kg, as single pairs and as dumbbell sets. Make sure to check how clear the weight numbers are on the dumbbells. this can be really important when you are moving between weights. Some brands list the weight in a different colour.

You will also need to decide if you want round dumbbells or hex dumbbells.

Hexagonal options won’t roll around the floor so are a great choice for a home gym. They can also be better if you want to perform exercises like dumbbell press-ups. We offer both round rubber dumbbells and rubber hex dumbbells in our collection.

Don’t forget to consider what type of handle you would like too. Some people prefer a knurled surface that offers more grip. Finally, think about how you will store your dumbbells. A dumbbell rack can be an effective and safe way to store all your dumbbells.
