Flybird adjustable dumbbells: review, price comparisons and many bird references
When building a home gym or some of the basics to start working out at home in your living room or bedroom, you immediately look at two things:
- Wie viel Platzersparnis gibt es?
- Was ist eine kostengünstige Lösung, die verschiedene Übungen und Bewegungen ermöglicht?
Adjustable dumbbells are often a must. There are many benefits to training with dumbbells, and adjustable dumbbells are versatile and can save space compared to buying a bunch of fixed dumbbells and a rack. An adjustable set can also save money in this case (although not always, see below).
Recently, M&F Chief Content Officer/Editor-in-Chief Zack Zeigler tested a set of 55-pound adjustable dumbbells from Flybird (see Zack's video below). We've also provided additional pros and cons for purchasing adjustable DBs at the bottom of the page if you're still on the fence.
When it comes to the Flybird adjustable dumbbells, Zack's review contained a handful of positives: They're priced in the same price range as other top-selling brands like Bowflex and NordicTrack. They're sturdy, well-built, and useful for anyone who doesn't want to put up any serious weight. (In this case, SMRTFT or Powerblocks might be brands to consider, although you will make more money.)

The benefits of using adjustable dumbbells
Space saving
Adjustable dumbbells are perfect for home gyms or small training areas as they eliminate the need for multiple sets of fixed weight dumbbells that can take up a lot of space.
Cost efficient
While the initial investment in adjustable dumbbells may be higher than purchasing a single set of fixed weight dumbbells, there could be long-term savings. With adjustable dumbbells you buy a whole range of weights in one compact set and save money when purchasing multiple sets of fixed weights.
Simple progression
Adjustable dumbbells make it easy to switch weights, which is good for incremental strength goals and for supersets, tri-sets and giant sets.
The Disadvantages of Using Adjustable Dumbbells
Initial costs
One of the main arguments against adjustable dumbbells is their relatively high purchase cost compared to fixed weight dumbbells. While they can be a cost-effective investment in the long run, those just starting out on their fitness journey or those on a tight budget may find the upfront costs daunting.
Durability and build quality
There is a concern that adjustable dumbbells may not be as durable. Whether it's bent or broken moving parts, malfunctioning locking mechanisms, or cracks in the case mount, these things are likely to happen the more you use your adjustable DBs. For this reason, choosing a quality brand with solid customer service and, if possible, a warranty is worth considering before you buy.
Sharing Restrictions
If you exercise with a partner or in a group, sharing adjustable dumbbells may be less convenient than having multiple fixed weight dumbbells. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's a hassle to consider whether you plan to train with one or two buddies.
