The best weights depend on your training style, available space, and whether you prefer fixed or adjustable sets. Picking correctly ensures safer and more effective workouts.
Start by deciding whether you want traditional dumbbells, kettlebells, adjustable systems, or weight plates for a barbell setup.
- Weight type: Dumbbells for versatility, kettlebells for explosive workouts, adjustable weights for space-saving.
- Material & durability: Rubber-coated weights protect floors; metal lasts longer and is more compact.
- Grip & shape: Look for ergonomic handles and shapes that feel comfortable.
- Training goal: Strength, toning, HIIT, bodybuilding — each goal benefits from different weight styles.
Weights by training style
Choose weights that support the way you train — slow controlled reps, explosive movements, conditioning, or heavy strength.
When should you upgrade your weights?
If your current weights feel too light, damaged, uncomfortable to grip, or limit your exercises, it may be time for an upgrade.
Serious lifters often move from fixed dumbbells to adjustable systems or higher-quality rubber or urethane-coated sets for safety and durability.
Weights – common questions
Helpful answers for beginners and advanced lifters to choose the right strength-training equipment.
What type of weights should beginners start with?
Beginners usually do well with light dumbbells (2–5 kg), or a small adjustable set that allows gradual progression.
How much should I spend on weights?
Prices vary by material and type. Adjustable weights cost more upfront but replace multiple dumbbells, saving space and money long-term.
Do weights last a long time?
