Are Nuobell Adjustable Dumbbells any GOOD? 5LB to 80LB Gym Owner Review

[@jakeobrienfit]

Still in love with my Nuobell set about 2 years later

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

Game changer

[@marvinrandolph577]

Great video! I’m picking up an 80lb set along with the rack for my birthday. Just need to decide if I like the chrome or the matte black version better. Thanks so much for the great review. What bench is that btw. Is there a link to the bench, or the name and price, so I can find it on Amazon?

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

I’m doing a video on the bench next week! So stay tuned. I love the matte black finish. I got them a few months ago. But a friend of mine tried to order a week or so ago and they are on back order. So I’d get on the ball and place your order. Especially with holidays getting close.

[@jacobpedersen2368]

@@WhoIsJonHarris im also very interested in the bench :D hope the vid comes soon.

[@jamesbobthesecond]

Hi Jon. Great and very useful video as I am planning to buy the Nuobells myself. Do you have any more info or a link for the foldable bench please ? Thanks !

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

amzn.to/3TwXVxD here you go! I have yet to do a video on this one. But it’s pretty decent!

[@rfo23]

Ordered the exact same. All black 580 with the stand. Can’t wait. I’m not into bodybuilding or powerlifting. Just a 47yr old enroute to getting fit, gain lean mass, drop body fat and just be healthy. 6 months ago I was 265lbs, now down to 210lbs. Feeling great!

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

That’s awesome friend. I think these bells definitely make things easy and accessible. Keep at it!

8:10 finally someone said it,

[@biknjak]

👍👍video! I bought the standard 580 Nuobells with the silver handles, and I think the reason the knurling on your matte black ones feels a little "smooth" is because it's the same handle as mine, but filled in a little with paint. I know a lot of painted/e - coated barbells have the same issue. I agree with you about the cost, too. A rack of a comparable range of fixed dumbbells would cost about double the amount of the Nuobells, and take up way more than twice the space.

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

Good point on the paint. Didn’t think about that. Not a deal breaker. But I might tape the handles! Happy lifting!

[@soranhernandez6425]

Hey I got a question about whether or not I should be concerned clean and jerking or snatching these dumbbells or any of the handle rotating adjustables. Could the rotation required by the moment actuate the handles?

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

They are not able to move in or out of place outside of the rack itself. The rack allows the adjustments to be made. If you’re only doing hang snatches or hang cleans I think you’ll be fine. But I would not want to be doing a lot of reps coming from the ground. Might get banged up that way.

[@stevebanks1640]

I got my 80 lb set in August with the stand. I love them! They're holding up great so far. I use them 4 days a week

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

I feel like they will last a good while. Especially with a little care. Solid investment.

[@mokotramp]

Good video mate! I trained and ran a gym for 22 years. Due to personal circumstances I quit, can't say I really missed it as I took up cycling again, which gives me a massive fix! But I'm 53 now and feel the need for some proper strength training, and the weights are calling! I've done bodybuilding, power and Olympic lifting, so I'm used to good kit! Do you think these bells are going to last, there's quite a bit of plastic on them which worries me? I'm not going to be smashing it like I used to a few years back, but I need something that's going to last!

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

I really think they will. Quality is way better than the powerblocks and those things I’ve seen last a while too. I think as long as you aren’t throwing them on the ground they will do well. You can always go the rubber coated route. But you’ll be spending more than double to money to get a set of equal weight. And I’ve thrown many of those away in the past few years because the heads come off!

[@mokotramp]

@@WhoIsJonHarris Thanks for the reply Jon! Absolutely on the cost thing, 16 individual bells would cost a few grand! I'm shocked how expensive gym shit has gone, years back you couldn't give old cast dumbbells away! Have you looked at any of the offerings from Amazon and Ali express, as I'm guessing all these dumbbells are made in China, even the Nuo's?

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

@@mokotramp I tried my best to find an alternate solution. But you have to get them from their website. For the best price anyway. They are made in Sweden actually. I really do think these are the best adjustable option.

[@Joeblow354854]

How are your Nuobells holding up? Still love them?

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

I use them at least 3-4 times a week. No issues so far. I treat them with respect and have never had a need to drop them. I’ve packed them up many times and driven across country with them.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

Sure, they look nice like you said. But that plastic and nylon makes them a ticking time bomb. I had one accidentally roll off with 20lbs from a 18 ft stationary bench and handle broke. They charged $225 for a 1 lb replacement handle because it was a few months over the 2 year warranty. Total rip off.

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

That’s pretty hefty charge for a fixed handle. An 18ft fall is pretty legit as well though.

Trash AI video description LOL.. well, it should say "are Nuobell Adjustable Dumbbells any GOOD?" instead of "are Nuobell Adjustable Dumbbells and GOOD?".. I feel like I just taught the AI something that will cost me dearly LOL.

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

I thought it was hilarious haha!!

[@Redrum4u2nv]

This guy is brilliant 🤣

[@maxpower8052]

Hell yeah, you are so right about tyrannical governments! I was so grateful that I had rings, bands, and a handful of hardstyle kettlebells when the lockdowns happened.

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

It’s a Brave New World out there boss. Gotta cover all your bases!

[@shamelessplace11]

You have no clue what a tyrannical govt is. I have fought in 3 wars and 2 conflicts. Be lucky you are where you are and stop fucing complaining
