<\/p>\n One thing that has really levelled up my resistance training routine is these Echelon adjustable dumbbells<\/a>.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Unlike standard dumbbells, these are multiple sets of weights in one, ranging from 7-52.5lb (3-24kg in the UK). They use removable weight plates to change the resistance, and all you need to do to add or remove plates is to twist the dial in the handle.<\/p>\n The Echelon adjustable dumbbells come with a sturdy stand, so when you switch between weights, the unused plates remain safe in the stand\u2019s tray. The stand has an integrated media holder so you can set up your tablet or phone and do strength workouts via the Echelon Fit app (available on iOS and Android).<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Future \/ Maddy Biddulph)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been using the adjustable dumbbells for two weeks and I\u2019m sold. Here\u2019s what I liked about them.<\/p>\n They\u2019re easy to use<\/p>\n The beauty of adjustable dumbbells is that everything is in one place and all you have to do to increase or decrease the resistance is turn the dial in the handle.<\/p>\n This means you can switch quickly\u2014literally about a second\u2014and seamlessly between weights, making your training more time-effective.<\/p>\n The only challenge I found was getting the weights into the house\u2014carrying a box weighing 48kg is definitely a two-person job!<\/p>\n I\u2019m progressing faster<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Future \/ Maddy Biddulph)<\/p>\n Having such a wide resistance range has meant that I\u2019m much more inclined to pick up a bigger weight and push myself. For weeks, I\u2019d been stuck on an overhead press with 12kg, but since trying the Echelon adjustable dumbbells, I\u2019ve progressed to 15kg.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also been using heavier loads for squats and reverse lunges, and they\u2019ve helped me feel excited about exercise again after having a few weeks of not feeling motivated.<\/p>\n The only downside is that the dumbbells feel slightly bulky at lighter settings because, irrespective of the resistance, the length of the dumbbells remains the same.<\/p>\n They\u2019re space-saving<\/p>\n Every corner in my house is crammed full of exercise equipment, so it\u2019s a welcome change to have the equivalent of 12 pairs of dumbbells neatly stored all in one space. Imagine trying to find somewhere to put that many free weights in your house!<\/p>\n While adjustable weights cost more upfront and can feel like a big investment, in my opinion it\u2019s money well spent. Plus, the Echelon set is currently in the Black Friday<\/a> sale so now is the time to grab yourself a discounted set.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More prices from around the web<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I had a conversation with a PT client recently about how much we love lifting weights and that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84],"class_list":{"0":"post-305501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Two](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LzXXZRNd7jdkAsEkb7Qii6.jpg\")
