Why use dumbbells for your workouts?
With a unique approach compared to weight training bars, this hexagonal dumbbell created a beneficial imbalance that promotes strength building.
Perfect for intensifying your cross training movements such as push presses, front squats, or clean & jerks!
Why does the dumbbell have a rubber base and a hexagonal shape?
Based on your feedback, we redesigned this dumbbell to give it 6 sides: no more worrying about it rolling on the floor.
Its rubber coating provides maximum protection from impacts and dampens noise. Its ergonomic handle, with a non-slip area and a rounded shape, ensures a better grip.
Plus, the robust rubber preserves both your dumbbells and your floors, for training with peace of mind.
Be careful when dropping dumbbells
We recommend using this hex dumbbell with a rubber slab (ref: 8651539) so you can drop it safely.
Storing and caring for your dumbbell
To store your dumbbell, we recommend keeping it indoors in a dry place, on a rubber slab (ref: 8651539), to keep from damaging your floors. If not, you can also store it on a storage rack for bars and weights (ref: 8788246).
To care for your dumbbell, clean it with a clean cloth.
