Flybird Adjustable Dumbbells: Review, Price Comparisons & Lots of Bird References

When you’re building a home gym or some of the basics to start training at home in your living room or bedroom, two things you’re immediately looking at are:

  1. How much space-saving is there?
  2. What is a cost-effective solution that allows for various exercises and movements?

Adjustable dumbbells are often a go-to. Training with dumbbells has ample benefits, and adjustable dumbbells check the box of versatility and can save space when compared to buying a bunch of fixed dumbbells and a rack. An adjustable set, in this case, can also save cash, too (although not always, see below).

Recently, M&F’s Chief Content Officer / Editor-in-Chief Zack Zeigler tested a set of 55-pound adjustable dumbbells from Flybird (see Zack’s video below). We also provided more pros and cons to acquiring adjustable DBs at the bottom of the page in case you’re still on the fence.

Regarding the Flybird adjustable dumbbells, Zack’s review included a handful of positives: They’re priced in the same range as other top-selling brands like Bowflex and NordicTrack. They’re sturdy, well-built, and useful for anyone who isn’t looking to put up serious weight. (In that case, the SMRTFT or Powerblocks might be brands with considering, although you’ll pony up more cash.)

The Advantages of Using Adjustable Dumbbells

Space-Saving

Adjustable dumbbells are perfect for home gyms or small workout areas, as they eliminate the need for multiple sets of fixed-weight dumbbells that can take up a significant amount of space.

Cost-Effective

While the initial investment in adjustable dumbbells might be higher than buying a single set of fixed-weight dumbbells, there could be long-term savings. With adjustable dumbbells, you’re purchasing an entire range of weights in one compact set, saving you money on buying multiple sets of fixed weights.

Easy Progression

Adjustable dumbbells make it simple to switch weights, which are good for incremental goals for strength and for supersets, tri-sets and giant sets.

The Disadvantages of Using Adjustable Dumbbells

Initial Cost
