REP Rubber Grip Hex Dumbbells
Overall
Summary
The Rep Fitness Rub Grip Hex dumbbells are perfect for working out in a cold garage gym. They also offer surprisingly great grip and their small size allows for better movements that can place less stress on your joints.
Pros
Friction welding for a solid build.
Excellent grip with or without chalk.
No rusting or chipping.
A smaller profile means a better range of motion.
Fit more dumbbells with less rack space.
Cons
The handle width may be too small for people with larger hands.
The knurl may not be aggressive enough at higher weights, especially if you have weaker grip strength.
The Rep Fitness Rubber Hex Dumbbells offer a unique design that focuses on encasing the entire dumbbell in rubber.
We particularly love this product from Rep Fitness for several distinct reasons.
First, the rubberized handle provides for excellent workouts in colder weather. If your gym is located in a non-insulated section of your house, gripping these handles won’t chill you to the bone during the colder winter months.
Second, the width of the dumbbells rubber knurled handles is shorter that most traditional dumbbells. We find that the shorter handles fit most average hand sizes while providing for an additional range of motion. We’ve also found, as have other reviewers, that the dumbbells hold chalk well when used.
The premium low odor rubber offered by the Rep Fitness Rubber Hex Dumbbells is also a welcomed addition on top of eliminating the typical rusting and chipping associated with other dumbbell types.
Rep Fitness sells these rubber hex dumbbells in pairs ranging from $14.99 for a 5-pound pair to $207.99 for a 100-pound pair. Deep discounts are also available on entire sets.
