Adjustable dumbbells: maximum training with minimum space

A complete dumbbell set is fantastic. The amount of space it takes up? Slightly less fantastic. Especially when you're training at home or running a compact personal training studio. With adjustable dumbbells, you combine multiple weights in one dumbbell. Simply select your desired weight and you're ready for your next set.

The LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells are available with a maximum weight of 24 kg, 32 kg and 40 kg and can be adjusted in 2 kg increments. This makes them suitable for beginners as well as experienced strength athletes looking for a compact dumbbell that can be used for a wide range of exercises at home or in a professional training facility.

How do adjustable dumbbells work?

With a traditional dumbbell set, you need a separate pair of dumbbells for each weight. An adjustable dumbbell works differently. Multiple weights are integrated into a single system.

Place the dumbbell in the included holder, select your desired weight and only the required weight plates are lifted with the dumbbell. This allows you to switch quickly between different weights without having to grab another dumbbell every time.

This is particularly useful when performing different exercises back to back. You might only need a few kilos for lateral raises, while goblet squats, rows or Romanian deadlifts require considerably more weight. Adjust, lift and keep going.

One dumbbell, countless possibilities

With the LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells, you can train from 2 kg up to a maximum of 24, 32 or 40 kg, depending on the model you choose. The weight can be adjusted in 2 kg increments.

This means you can use the same dumbbell for exercises including:

• shoulder presses and lateral raises;
• chest presses and dumbbell rows;
• bicep curls and tricep extensions;
• goblet squats and lunges;
• Romanian deadlifts;
• full-body strength training.

The small weight increments also make it easy to gradually increase the load as you get stronger. Ideal for progressive overload without having to invest in a new set of dumbbells every time you progress.

Adjustable dumbbells for your home gym

For a home gym, adjustable dumbbells are an especially practical choice. A traditional dumbbell set ranging from 2 to 40 kg takes up a considerable amount of space and also requires a large dumbbell rack.

With adjustable dumbbells, you get a wide weight range within a very compact set-up. Each LMX.® Adjustable dumbbell comes with its own holder, allowing you to store it neatly and securely after your workout.

Want to keep two dumbbells permanently positioned at a comfortable working height? The optional Adjustable Dumbbell Storage Rack is the perfect addition.

That leaves you with more floor space for what really matters: training.

Also suitable for personal training and fitness studios

Space isn't only valuable at home. In a PT studio, hotel gym or smaller commercial training facility, you also want to create as many training possibilities as possible without filling every square metre with equipment.

An adjustable dumbbell can therefore be a smart addition to a compact fitness space. One system gives you access to multiple weight options while keeping the training area organised and uncluttered.

The LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells are designed for both home and professional use, combining a compact design with the quality you expect from LMX.®.

24, 32 or 40 kg: which adjustable dumbbell should you choose?

The best option for you mainly depends on your training level and the exercises you want to perform.

The 24 kg adjustable dumbbell offers a wide weight range for general strength training and is an excellent choice for many home gyms. If you train heavier or want more room for progression, the 32 kg version gives you additional possibilities. For experienced strength athletes and exercises where considerably more weight can be used, there is the 40 kg adjustable dumbbell.

All three versions start at 2 kg and can be adjusted in 2 kg increments. All you need to decide is how much room you want to leave yourself at the top to keep getting stronger.

Fewer dumbbells. More training possibilities.

Whether you're building a compact home gym, training clients in a PT studio or simply don't want an entire dumbbell rack taking up space, the LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells give you access to a wide range of weights within one compact system.

Choose from 24 kg, 32 kg or 40 kg, select your desired weight and start training. No rows of individual dumbbells, no unnecessary loss of space and, most importantly, no excuse that the weight you need is all the way across the gym ;)

Frequently asked questions about adjustable dumbbells

What are adjustable dumbbells?

Adjustable dumbbells combine multiple weights in a single dumbbell. Instead of using a separate dumbbell for each weight, you simply select the weight you need. The LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells can be adjusted from 2 kg up to a maximum of 24, 32 or 40 kg.

How do adjustable dumbbells work?

Place the dumbbell in its holder and select your desired weight. When you lift the dumbbell from the holder, only the selected weight plates remain attached. This allows you to switch quickly between different weights for different exercises and sets.

Which adjustable dumbbell should I choose: 24, 32 or 40 kg?

That depends on your training level and the exercises you want to perform. For general strength training, 24 kg already offers plenty of possibilities. If you train heavier or want more room for progression, 32 kg or 40 kg may be the better choice. All versions are adjustable in 2 kg increments.

Are adjustable dumbbells suitable for a home gym?

Yes. Adjustable dumbbells are an especially space-efficient solution for a home gym. One adjustable dumbbell replaces multiple fixed-weight dumbbells, significantly reducing the amount of storage space you need and leaving more floor space available for training.

Are adjustable dumbbells suitable for strength training?

Yes. Thanks to their wide weight range, adjustable dumbbells can be used for a variety of strength exercises, including presses, rows, squats, lunges, curls and Romanian deadlifts. As the weight can be increased in 2 kg increments, they are also ideal for progressive overload.

Can you do a full-body workout with adjustable dumbbells?

Absolutely. Dumbbells can be used to train virtually every major muscle group. Combine goblet squats and lunges for your legs, rows for your back, presses for your chest and shoulders, and curls and extensions for your arms.

How much space do adjustable dumbbells save?

That depends on the weight range you would normally train with. Because one adjustable dumbbell replaces multiple fixed-weight dumbbells, you don't need a long row of individual weights. This makes them particularly useful for home gyms, PT studios and other compact training spaces.

Are the LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells sold as a pair?

No. The LMX.® Adjustable dumbbells are sold individually. Each dumbbell comes with a matching holder. If you want to train with a pair, you will need to purchase two dumbbells.

Is a storage rack available for the adjustable dumbbells?

Yes. The Adjustable Dumbbell Storage Rack is available separately. It allows you to store your dumbbells neatly and positions them at a comfortable height.

Can I drop the adjustable dumbbells?

Adjustable dumbbells contain a mechanical adjustment system and are therefore constructed differently from traditional fixed dumbbells. They should be handled with control and should not be deliberately dropped after an exercise. For workouts where dumbbells are regularly dropped, traditional professional dumbbells are a better choice.
