For most people, getting a set of selectorized adjustable dumbbells is the smartest way to start a home gym. These clever contraptions give you a dumbbell rack’s worth of weights in one compact package, so you can choose the most appropriate weight for each exercise and, more importantly, increase the weight over time as you get stronger.
That’s why you’ll find this type topping lists of the best dumbbells, including Coach’s, although they require quite the investment. The Core Home Fitness Adjustable Dumbbells undercut the competition and still hold their own against the likes of Bowflex and JAXJOX.
