Jayflex HYPERBELL Review - The Barbell That Uses Dumbbells!

[@samkeller6209]

I have been working out consistently for a year with 3 sets of dumbells and a bench. I have a small house and I don't have time to go to a gym. I've gotten significant results, but having anything compact helps. Getting this would further help me get in power cleans more efficiently. Get more squats in without grip fatigue like you would with dumbells. For someone like me, this is where products like this are perfect!

I bought this EZ Curl and EZ Kettle myself. I have a small extra room for a gym I made with a treadmill, bowflex motivator 2, a dumbbell tower (15-40lbs) and 6x8 ft mat area. The goal was to make the room easy to move around and work out and not be cramped, have to move things, or bump into things. Simply put, just no room for traditional stack weights or standard kettle bells. So the EZ curl bar and EZ Kettle made a good space saver with the dumb bell weights I already have. So far great for light to moderate workouts. If I had more room, sure would have a traditional bench with full bar and stacks of weight plates and dumb bells too, but we do with what we have and this is a good choice for a small gym.

[@juan501]

That'd actually be an interesting choice IF they made a high-end version all steel. The plastic would suck and probably won't last if you actually used it consistently. Your floormats and dumbells protected it; concrete and cheap cast dumbells would end them quickly.

[@ds_colbster9572]

For that amount you could get the fitness gear set with 300lbs and a barbell 🤣

[@drfunkinstein1]

Now you don't need to buy a whole set of kettlebells and barbells. Like wtf is a set of barbells? You just buy a bar and plates. And who uses kettlebells anyways? And you also need a whole set of dumbells in order to use this thing so it's only really useful for someone who already owns the dumbells and also wants a barbell setup but only for lighter barbell work.

[@Lokielan]

This is meant for people who want to save space and may already have the dumbells.. "Not meant for everyone"

[@aldiggty]

Its about half the price of a fitness gear set tho

[@Tr1ppyh1pp13]

​@Michael D what's a set of barbells? Look it up. It's dumbbells with a long ass bar. Also, if you have adjustable dumbbells, like I do, and not much room for anything else, this is perfect.

[@davidwhite206]

​@simpolang Exactly! Sometimes, people need to think outside of themselves.

[@meisdetermined]

Just when I didn’t think it was possible for Bowflex to look appealing-someone found a way. 😂

[@AlbertFischer]

Good one!

[@plmn93]

Bowflex wouldn't be so bad at half the price. I started lifting on a Soloflex. It sucked in a lot of ways, but it was effective.

[@joecowan3719]

I am sure Coop was more scared he might scratch his beautiful Eleiko DBS on the drop more than breaking the 3AM Infomercial plastic set!

[@tremblz2202]

I picked up the EZ curl bar to use with the 552's and an adjustable bench. It doesn't replace a trip to the gym, but it's a good setup for a quick workout in a home with limited space like mine. Like Coop, the feedback I gave them was that I'm not a fan of the rubberized grip and would have preferred knurling on the bar. Because I'm using it with adjustable weights, I don't have to undo the collars on the bar to change the weight.

[@drfartESQ]

Saw the combo on Prime Day. Searched YT and Coop’s video came up first. Didn’t pull the trigger on it because of this review. Opted to get the kettlebell adapter solo. Thanks Coop. You’re the man

[@kietbui9768]

Nice video, very thorough. I am one of those with the simple home gym and thought this would be a good addition. Good point about the flimsy locking rings. It would be useless if you break it and they don’t sell the replacement heads. Though I don’t plan on dropping my weights. This product does look gimmicky but so did the Bowflex dumbbells. I still have and enjoy my bowflex dumbbells very much.

[@quintinhorton1669]

I’m going to get these! I have a home gym but it’s outside in the shed. Inside I have a set of adjustable dumbbells that I use far more often.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Awesome review that convinced me to order one. I have a small home gym built out in the corner of the attic/storage room and it's pretty bare bones. I've been looking at buying a heavier duty bench with a rack and a bar/weights, but the cost of fitness gear is through the roof right now and economically it's easier to pick up one of these bars and be able to use my dumbbells with it. Heavier lifts I can go to the gym, this will work great in a pinch for a 30-40 min session after work when I can't get out of the house. Also an update, you can get all 3 now bundled for like $300 + the 15% off code.

[@cpthornman]

Not going to lie that kettlebell one is tempting. The fact you can change the angle makes it vastly superior to the other one mentioned.

[@SirSketchable]

Thats the only product that makes any sense. The multi angle kettlebell handle for dumbbells for 50 bucks is a solid idea. Otherwise the bars are silly

[@plmn93]

Too bad it's such poor quality. Are you going to trust that flimsy plastic collar to keep your dumbbell from getting flung across the room or onto your foot? I wouldn't.

[@cpthornman]

@@plmn93 It's the same collar as the barbell that he drop tested and that seemed to have held up.

[@plmn93]

Got the ez-curl bar for 100-USD, shipped. Decent bit of kit that allows for an expanded arm workout if dumbells, and limited space, are what you're working with.

[@cartergriffin6021]

I think this could be cool for a vacation. You’re able to pack a pair of dumbbells and these. Make a good vacation setup

[@whiteviper1979]

Yea fun workout TOOL when you have ZERO time too travel to the GYM 👍😎💪

[@RestiveProcess1]

I could see this being nice for travel and upgrading the standard hotel gym/dumbell rack and not wanting/cant find a gym

[@atomictwills]

I have the Kettle Gryps and the Hyperbell kettlebells. I like the Hyperbells because of the ability to rotate the axis of the dumbbells. As Coop said, it makes swings much easier. BUT, they’re a pain to swap weights and orientation, especially if your dumbbells have somewhat thick handles. It can be a bit of a challenge to keep things aligned, hold the clamp closed around the dumbbell handle, and then tighten the ring. The Kettle Gryps are extremely easy to change weights with, but you can’t change the axis of the dumbbells, and the maximum recommended weight is less than the Hyperbells. Overall, if I had to choose one, I’d probably go with the Hyperbells.

[@rk2qt]

For people with bowflex selectech dumbbells, this bar works with the 552’s but not the 1099’s. The ends of the handles widen, making it too tight to fit

[@WoodakaDiddy]

Really?

[@rk2qt]

@@WoodakaDiddy yes. I have all 3. I’m considering filing the ends of the handles. Even if it works I wouldn’t be able to lift a 180 pound barbel off the floor. I’d then need a squat rack. I discovered that my workouts are limited no matter what without a full gym.

[@rk2qt]

@Christian Rafiki Perez Kong yes I’ve been doing it for several months now.

[@tellall23]

@@WoodakaDiddy Nope it works just fine. I have purchased it myself! It works just fine with 1090 as well

[@cfin1985]

Depends on how old the 1090s are. The website states older version (before 2010 I think) will work but after that the handles are too thick for jayflex.

[@NoFate247]

Just not sold on this one, great review as usual, but this smells like an upgraded shake weight. How soon after you buy it until it never gets used again?

[@meisdetermined]

This thing has “$30 for the bundle” at a garage sale written all over it.

[@THIS---GUY]

they're great if you own and use dumbbells especially bowflex adjustable. skullbasher, tricep extension, row, hip thrusts, front raises, farmer walks, lunges, etc. some exercises like curls aren't best because the weight rotates but if it's a fixed movement up and down they are great

[@esteban8681]

Legit have the EZ curl and the boxflew dumbbells. Works pretty great.

[@meisdetermined]

The company: you can drop it. Coop: “Reeeeally?” (Grins)

I'm trying to find reviews on machines for rows, presses, and legs (hack squats, presses, curls, etc). Would you guys eventually go into this area?

[@PimoAn01]

Seems like this would be optimal to pair with adjustable dumbbells.

[@DampRaccoon]

I wonder if the thread and pipe size have a plumbing equivalent. They look like slip joint nuts, which you can buy in Chrome, brass, stainless steel and replace the current with. But that piece might be designed to be flexible/breakable link in the first place (cheap and easy to replace).

[@danhalen2990]

[@baldpastorrob]

[@charleswatkins3188]

Coop make a video for the Traveler. I travel for work and live full time in my rv. Is there a set up that is the lightest, most compact, or can be packed away. I have been traveling with a full set 10-60 lbs of dumbbells and when you tow your home all that adds up. I plan to purchase some adjustable dumbbells. But what else it out there.

[@4jdenten]

My apartment gym just got the easy curl. And was not aware you can change the dumbell position.🤦‍♂️

[@TheRollDdice]

Fair review of the Hyperbell. But I think in their commercial when they say "rack", they mean rack it up against your body (think the starting position of an OH Press), not put it in a barbell rack. A bit of a cheat, but that's one of the cornerstones of infomercials!

[@SaulLopez-ch1lg]

I need something like that for my nuo bells

[@babygiantbarbell1014]

Coop you really did put this products best foot forward. That being said, these companies have gone crazy with these prices. No amount of b roll will make those worth that much. The kettlebell grip maybe, but cmon fitness companies!

[@Magnus_Alistair]

Do these work with ironmaster? Or ezblocks?

[@jcantu23]

I have the nuobells. Is there anything out there like this that will work with them?

[@frankangelone7989]

You said you thought this might work with some adjustable dumbbells, do you think this would would work with the Nuobells?

[@aclsass]

Will they work with powerblock pro since that model has the more open cage design?

[@tjsmoothrock]

It says it can carry up to 100 pounds per side. I had my 85 pounders in it and it popped the red collar. They sent me a replacement. I say max 60 lbs should be what you use.

[@MOBAGamingNYC]

Does it fit on a Bowflex 1090 dumbells???

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

These attempt to do for Bowflex what power blocks already do for themselves in terms of a barbell and kettlebell attachment. That being said, since, for the time being, I am using some Bowflex 1090s, the kettlebell attachment has some potential. I'm actually surprised Alibaba hasn't put out a similar kettlebell attachment that can rotate the dumbbell.

[@philh1245]

IMHO, this is an honest review and I'm not getting this, instead will get a barbell set for just about the same or lower price.

[@jerseyjim9092]

One of those things u wish you had thought of. I'd mostly be interested in the kettlebell. It says it can handle a 100lb dumb bell.

[@hege2427]

wouldn´t that be better to out of metal....the clamp and the fixingscrew? that platic will break sometime and then what?

What I see this as best for is someone who travels a lot. Most hotel gyms have DB as the only free weights. Or as a trucker you could take this with you. Definitely would want it able to fit more DBs before I'd consider buying though, and if they lowered the price to $100 for the whole set as a package.

What's the verdict? I'm about to order the hyperbell and was planning to do the same thing; the rubber insert is doing the work of holding the dumbbell, the plastic edge shouldn't hurt the integrity of the handle?!

Sadly they don't give the dimensions of the straight bar. Closest adjustable racks I've seen online are between 28-32 inch between racking points.. Want to know if they fit. I'm not a huge guy either so I'm fine with shorter bars
