These are pretty much exactly what you want from a set of dumbbells — simple, functional, and no nonsense. The neoprene coating gives them a comfortable grip and keeps them from feeling slick in your hands, especially during longer workouts or if your hands get sweaty.

The coating also helps keep them from banging up floors or making as much noise compared to bare metal weights, which is nice if you’re working out at home.

Weight accuracy seems fine for general fitness use, and they’ve worked great for things like accessory movements, shoulder work, lighter presses, rehab-style exercises, and general muscle toning. The shape also helps keep them from rolling around everywhere when set down.

They’re not fancy, and they’re not trying to be — they’re just dependable dumbbells that do what they’re supposed to do at a fair price.

If you want straightforward hand weights for home workouts without overthinking it, these are a solid buy.

I have been a PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR 30 YEARS and I BOUGHT THESE FOR MY CLINIC. THESE WEIGHTS ARE COVERED IN A GRIPPING MATERIAL, NEOPRENE, MAKING IT COMFORTABLE and EASIER TO USE, ALLOWS YOU TO NOT LOSE YOUR GRIP, and IT IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF THE USER. I WILL BE BUYING THE 12&20 lb sets! THE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY IS WONDERFUL!! AMAZON BASICS REALLY CAME THROUGH. It DID NOT INCLUDE AN INSTRUCTION GUIDE TO USE WEIGHTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. STELLAR FORM IS ALWAYS ESSENTIAL.

MY WEIGHTS WENT UP TO 10 POUNDS, SO I DEFINITELY NEEDED ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS for those who can SAFELY TRANSITION . I MAINLY WORK AS A MANUAL THERAPIST …USING ONLY MY HANDS, AND MY BRAIN. TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT ACCORDINGLY.

(**ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO PT KNOWS THIS KIND OF ONE ON ONE TREATMENT IS UNHEARD OF**)

I IMPLEMENTED MYOFASCIAL RELEASE, TRIGGER POINT THERAPY, DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE, AND APPROPRIATE STRETCHING AND EXERCISE . ONCE PATIENTS WERE ABLE, I INITIATED THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE. I WAS GETTING SO MANY REFERRALS THAT I MOVED FROM MY SMALL SPACE AND GOT A LARGER SPACE THAT LOOKS LIKE A TYPICAL PT CLINIC. I STILL EMPLOY ONE ON ONE TREATMENT, NO JUGGLING SEVERAL PATIENTS IN AN HOUR. I HAVE HIRED HELP TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH EXERCISE AND STRETCHING. I PURCHASED TWO ADDITIONAL SETS ITHE SET IT I DID TO FIRST CHECK THEM OUT. I ADORE THESE AND HAVE SINCE ORDERED OTHER SETS. I LOVE TO WORKOUT AND I NEEDED TO USE THESE WEIGHTS MYSELF!! THERE ARE ALSO PATIENTS OF MINE WHO WILL PROGRESS TO THESE AS WELL. I AM SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THESE WEIGHTS AND CANNOT WAIT TO RECEIVE MY TWO OTHER SETS!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

EVEN IF YOU SWEAT, YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THESE WEIGHTS COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY. SAFETY IS KEY, ALWAYS. I WAS EXTREMELY DELIGHTED THAT THEY ARE SOLD AS A SET BECAUSE MANY ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. THEY FIT PROPERLY ON A UNIVERSAL WEIGHT STAND, SO THEY ARE VERY EASY TO STORE. I CANT WAIT TO GET MY OTHER SETS! IT IS REALLY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE TO USE THESE WEIGHTS.

THEY DID NOT GIVE OFF AN ODD ODOR, which is A HUGE PLUS because SOME OTHER BRANDS SMELL HEAVILY OF PLASTIC OR A CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR. THERE WAS NO ODOR AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS. I AM COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT THESE WEIGHTS WILL LAST A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF HOW WELL THEY ARE MADE. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE EITHER!!

THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, AND, THEY ARE MEANT FOR PERSONAL USE AS WELL. SOMETIMES YOU JUST CANNOT GET TO THE GYM SO THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE KEY. HAND WEIGHTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE EACH MUSCLE OF THE TORSO AND ARMS. THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT WEIGHT CHARTS OUT THERE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THAT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY, THEN YOUR THERAPIST CAN INSTRUCT YOU AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD FORM. YOU COULD POSSIBLY HURT YOURSELF IF YOU WORKOUT INCORRECTLY. AS FAR AS THE LOWER EXTREMITIES, YOU CAN DO GROSS MOTOR EXERCISES BY HOLDING THESE WEIGHTS TO GET YOUR LEG MUSCLES BY DOING SQUATS, WALKING LUNGES, TOE RAISES, AND MORE. I DONT BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH YOU CAN DO FULL BODY EXERCISES WITH JUST TWO HAND WEIGHTS.

IN CONCLUSION , THESE ARE EXCELLENT WEIGHTS THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO MY PATIENTS OR FRIENDS. THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT THAT WONT BREAK YOUR PIGGY BANK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VERY HIGHLY!. BUY WITHOUT RESERVATION!! A+++

If you’re not a clean person, I wouldn’t recommend the lighter colors. They get dirty fast. Setting them on the floor that holds dust or dirt probably not a good idea. Personally, I say use them on your mat after cleaning the mat. Very durable and worth the money.

Great 1 lb. dumbbells for recovering muscle strength!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2026

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Purchased these in hopes that I can build up my arm and shoulder muscle strength from a serious injury 2 years ago from a fall and cracking a rib and 2 vertebrae in the middle of my back that kept me immobile for 3 1/2 months. I've been stretching and exercising my arms and shoulders but resistance training might help me get past the stalling in my recovery.
I've started with just the pair of 1 lb. weights to avoid tearing the muscles further. I like that they are small, easy for me to grasp with my fingers that have arthritis and a weak grip. I tried using soup cans but I can't hold them very long because they're just too fat for me to grip and fall out on the floor. I have difficulty in bending over do to breaking my coccyx (tailbone) in a car accident 60 years ago so another good feature of these pink dumbbells is their hexagon shape because they don't roll away when I set them down on the desk or cabinet shelf. No parts, just a rubbery coating that makes it softer to hold on to than bare metal. Versatile in that I can walk around my apartment community with them without losing my balance. Gentle, but daily walks is just what the doctor ordered. I do plan on getting the next weight level once I no longer find these challenging. I will update my review in a year to 5 stars if the thin neoprene coating holds up. That is the only thing that I can see failing eventually, but again, I'm very much a Senior so I expect it will be sufficient for my usage. Price was a good value and I recommend them for those who are beginners, fragile or just old like me. They carry a lot more home exercise equipment for those interested and with more room than I have.

These are excellent weights. I bought them because I wanted to move beyond my 3 pound weights that I was using before this. I like the all-in-one design for each weight. These are a solid investment. Who doesn't want to be healthy and look good?

Comfortable, well-made, and exactly what I needed

I purchased the 8 lb Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbells as a starter set because I wanted something lighter that would allow me to perform more reps, move faster between exercises, and maintain good form throughout my workouts.

These have turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

The neoprene coating feels comfortable in the hand and provides a secure grip, even when workouts get a little sweaty. They look good, feel solid, and the weight is evenly balanced. Whether I'm doing shoulder exercises, arm work, or incorporating them into circuit training, they've been easy to use and comfortable to hold.

What I appreciate most is that the 8 lb weight lets me focus on endurance and controlled movement rather than simply lifting heavier. For anyone starting a strength-training routine or looking for a lighter set for higher-rep workouts, these are a great option.

They've done their job so well that I'm already planning to purchase the 12 lb set as my next step up.

Simple, well-made, and good value for the money. 5 stars.

They sent me the wrong sizes and they came in the wrong colours. The weights themselves are good quality and so is the stand. However the colour on the yellow weights immediately started coming off on my hands and nails. Good weights but not pleased with the service of the company or their commitment to customer service.
