For a limited time, Amazon is offering a pair of FED Fitness DS2 Adjustable Dumbbells for $56.60 when a specific coupon code is applied. This deal is accessible to all shoppers, not just Amazon Prime members. Each dumbbell has a maximum weight capacity of 22.5 pounds, totaling 45 pounds for the pair, making it a more accessible option compared to premium sets like the Bowflex SelectTech, which can cost upwards of $400.
The FED Fitness DS2 dumbbells offer adjustable weight ranging from 6 pounds to 22.5 pounds, with increments at 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, and 22.5 pounds. Adjusting the weight involves a manual process: unscrewing a collar, adding the desired weight plates, and reattaching the collar. This differs from adjustable dumbbells that use a dial or knob mechanism.
What distinguishes this set is its adaptability. It includes handles and elongated bars that can be attached to the dumbbells. With one handle attached, a dumbbell transforms into a kettlebell. Using the elongated bar converts the dumbbell into a barbell. The handles can also serve as pushup stands, and the weight plates themselves can be used separately.
The primary limitation of this set is its total weight capacity of 45 pounds. For comparison, models like the Bowflex SelectTech 552 and Powerblock Elite EXP offer up to 100 pounds of weight. The FED Fitness DS2 set is best suited for individuals beginning their fitness journey who do not require a high weight capacity and are looking for an economical entry point into adjustable weight training.
