Adjustable dumbbells are the space-saving and cost-effective solution for your home gym. The classic among adjustable dumbbells are loadable short dumbbells with weight plates. The training weight can be changed quickly and effectively. However, the modern athlete is increasingly tending towards an adjustable dumbbell system – more compact, faster and more comfortable. An overview of all short dumbbell models can be found in our Short Dumbbell Overview.
Adjustable dumbbells as a compact dumbbell system are a revolutionary innovation in the fitness sector that makes it possible to take strength training from home to a new level. Adjustable system dumbbells are short dumbbells where the training weight can be adjusted easily, flexibly and quickly by turning or locking. With just one pair of adjustable dumbbells, you can cover various pairs of dumbbells or a complete dumbbell set – saving you not only space but also money.
Among the various brands for adjustable dumbbells, the Nüobell stands out for its outstanding quality and functionality. The unique adjustment mechanism allows for a quick and easy change of weight levels – simply turn the dumbbell handle and the weight is locked. The Nüobell is available in the following variants: 2–20 kg, 2–32 kg and 2–36 kg Heavy Weight.
When buying an adjustable dumbbell, you have the choice between two basic systems:
Nüobell (rotating mechanism): The weight is adjusted in seconds by turning the dumbbell handle. No re-plugging, no searching – just turn and continue training. The Nüobell has a conventional dumbbell shape that feels natural and is ideal for isolated exercises such as curls, lateral raises or shoulder presses. Perfect for high repetitions and drop sets.
Classic adjustable short dumbbell (plug-in/screw system): Weight plates are manually attached and secured with a clasp. Cheaper to buy, higher load capacity and suitable for heavy training. Disadvantage: Changing the weight takes longer and requires more effort.
Our recommendation: For comfortable home gym training with quick weight changes – Nüobell. For heavy strength training with maximum load capacity – classic adjustable short dumbbell.
The home gym places special demands on your equipment. Adjustable dumbbells are the first choice here because they offer maximum training variety in minimal space. When buying, pay attention to the following points:
❆ Weight range: Choose a model that grows with your training level – at least up to 20 kg for beginners, up to 36 kg or more for advanced users.
❆ Adjustment mechanism: Rotating mechanism (Nüobell) for maximum comfort, plug-in system for maximum load capacity.
❆ Storage/stand: A suitable storage keeps your home gym tidy and protects the floor.
❆ Combination with a weight bench: For bench presses, shoulder presses and flyes, we recommend an adjustable weight bench as an ideal addition.
The adjustable dumbbells from Nüobell are a great option for strength athletes who want to train with a conventional dumbbell shape. The quick adjustment mechanism ensures rapid locking of the training weight. We recommend the Nüobell for anyone who performs high training volumes, prefers isolated exercises and values a quick weight change. We do not recommend the Nüobell for heavy low-repetition training or functional fitness exercises with dropping – for this we recommend our Hex Dumbbells. motion sports is an official dealer of the original Nüobell with ATX logo.
Space saving: Instead of several pairs of dumbbells, you only need one pair of adjustable dumbbells.
Cost saving: By purchasing one pair of adjustable dumbbells, you save money compared to buying several pairs of dumbbells.
Flexibility: Adjusting the weights is quick, uncomplicated and safe – full focus on your training.
Quality: The quality, robustness and durability of the Nüobell dumbbell system, in particular, make these adjustable dumbbells a long-term investment.
Basically, you can perform the identical exercises with adjustable short dumbbells as with conventional dumbbells. Make sure to set the system down carefully during training – it is not suitable for dropping.
1. Bicep curls: Very popular isolated exercise in strength sports. The quick adjustment mechanism makes the Nüobell ideal for drop sets to muscle failure.
2. Lateral raises: Specifically isolates the lateral deltoid muscles. Stand upright, lift the dumbbells sideways to shoulder height and lower them in a controlled manner.
3. Shoulder press: Trains the entire shoulder musculature. Sitting or standing, dumbbells at shoulder height, press evenly upwards and lower in a controlled manner.
4. Bench press: One of the most effective exercises for the chest muscles – can be performed flat, incline or decline. Trains not only the chest but also shoulders and triceps.
1. Weight: Consider which exercises you want to perform and what weight you need for them – also take into account your training progress.
2. Material quality: Look for high-quality, robust and durable materials. The frame structure should also be stable, as the dumbbells are placed and adjusted on it.
3. Adjustment system: The adjustment mechanism is the heart of adjustable dumbbells. Look for high quality and easy and quick adjustment of the training weight.
