What should be considered when buying a PowerBlock dumbbell system?

This raises the question of what use the PowerBlock dumbbells are used for. The manufacturer divides the PowerBlock dumbbells into fitness equipment for home training and products for commercial use, like the gym. Homegym equipment is usually a little user-friendly and often cheaper. While the products for commercial use are built more sturdily, but are also in the higher price range. It is important to mention that the designation "adjustable" is decisive. This means that you can change the weight of the adjustable dumbbells. The training devices are sold in different sets, so you can choose which PowerBlock is right for you.
