The Living Fit hex rubber dumbbells offer durability and come at a great value for those who like traditional dumbbells.

In my commercial gym days, I used to love rubber hex dumbbells but I haven’t used any in a while since my garage gym build out.

So it’s nice to get my hands on a pair of these and compare them similar dumbbells as well as adjustables.

Let’s check them out!

Unboxing

Each rubber hex dumbbell came double boxed inside a plastic bag.

I got them out of the boxes and they are beautiful.

Chrome, knurled handle, and hard rubber heads.

Simple but they get the job done.

Specs

Build: Cast iron encased in rubber

Weight tolerance: 3% of stated weight

Weight ranges: Pairs of 5 – 100 lbs in 5 lbs increments, also sold in pairs of 5 – 25 lbs sets and 5 – 50 lbs sets

Handle: Chrome, curved, and knurled

Handle diameter: 1.3 inches

Dumbbell length: Varies depending on dumbbell weight

Heads: Black hexagonal shape

Handle

The handles are chrome with center knurling and taper on the ends.

Some companies call this type of dumbbells, Ergo Hex, because of the ergonomic handle.

The handle diameter is smaller than I like but they are spacious enough that my hands don’t feel crammed.

And I still have space to add dumbbell fractional plates for those heavy sets where I need to micro load.

Hex Rubber Heads

I do like that the rubber heads are hexagonal in shape because it keeps the dumbbells from rolling.

Most of the adjustable dumbbells I use are round and they tend to roll because of the natural slope of a garage.

The fixed hex rubber dumbbell heads give me peace of mind if I need to drop them after finishing a tough set.

That thick rubber protects both the dumbbells and my flooring.

Living Fit Hex Rubber Dumbbells vs Others

I researched similar 50 lbs pairs of hex rubber dumbbells from the major brands to compare to Living Fit’s dumbbells.

My results are below…

Brand	Dumbbell Pair	Price	Shipping	Total
Living Fit	50 lbs	$215	FREE	$215
Rogue Fitness	50 lbs	$175	$53	$228
Rep Fitness	50 lbs	$215	FREE	$215
Titan Fitness	50 lbs	$340	FREE	$340

Living Fit matched or beat their prices.

Note that the total price column doesn’t include taxes which can vary from state to state.

Hex Rubber Dumbbells vs Adjustable Dumbbells

I’ve reviewed a fair share of adjustable dumbbells and one major concern about them is their durability.

This is because of all their internal moving parts and fear of damage if they’re accidentally dropped.

Yes, there are some like the Snode AD80 adjustable dumbbells that are made out of cast iron and drop tested.

And Powerblock dumbbells have stood the test of time with their 99% metal build but…

Others like Trulap, Nuobell, Core Home Fitness, and Bowflex dumbbells are more likely to get damaged if dropped excessively.

With Living Fit hex rubber dumbbells there is no issue dropping them and should hold up over time.

The trade off is that a set of hex dumbbells takes up more space than adjustable dumbbells.
