Dumbbell Recommendations

If you purchasing dumbbells for the first time to use in my Strong Woman Society weekly zoom class, my Fitness Fundamentals workshop or for your own home strength practice, in general I recommend that you purchase:

• A pair of 8#

• A pair of 10#

• A pair of 12#

Depending on your current strength level, however, you might prefer to start with a pair of 5#.

Remember: Purchase your dumbbells in pairs. Some places sell dumbbells as singles. Pay attention to the fine print!

My Preferred Places To Buy Equipment:

• Rogue Fitness
  Need to be shipped, shipping costs can be expensive

• PR Lifting
  Local to Seattle area, you can pick them up, call for details

I Also Buy From:

• Perform Better

• Power Systems

• Big 5

• Dick’s Sporting Goods

• Play It Again Sports (Woodinville)
  Used equipment, depending on the location

You can also sometimes find used dumbbells on local blogs, such as NextDoor and Craigslist.

And of course, there’s Amazon.
