 Disappointment Jun 17, 2010
By Julie
I was disappointed when I opened the package to find 1 dumbbell since most dumbbells are sold in pairs. The dumbbell itself came as described but thought it was pricey to pay $20 for just one. Now I am forced to buy a second dumbbell and noticed the price went up to $28- no thank you!

 Rip Off Oct 03, 2010
By One Dumbbell
It is assumed that dumbbells come in pairs. However, body solid sells one dumbbell for the price of two. Check somewhere else before purchasing from this seller.

 Purchase this brand from Sam's Club online instead Sep 08, 2010
By BE Babe
I ordered 4 sets of Body Solid vinyl dumbbells from Sam's Club online and their prices are unbelievable! One 5-pound weight is selling for $5.58, which is 50% less than what Amazon is selling them for. The only bad thing about buying online from Sam's Club is that they charge state tax and shipping & handling. However, it was still cheaper to purchase the dumbbells from Sam's Club than Amazon, even with paying the extra money for tax and shipping. Apparently, Sam's Club gets the weights directly from the manufacturer. I was very pleased with their packaging job. They actually double-boxed the weights and included a lot of packing material. I made the mistake of ordering a set of Body Solid dumbbells from Amazon and they came all beat up. They hardly put in any packing material to cushion the weights.
If you're a member of Sam's Club, go to their online website and set up an account with your membership number. I ordered a lot of different neoprene dumbbells before settling on a brand (Valeo, Cap Barbell sold at Walmart, Savasa, Embark brand sold at Target). I have been the most impressed with the quality of the Body Solid vinyl dumbbells. I was hesitant about purchasing vinyl because I was afraid of chipping, but these things are so heavy duty that they seem impervious to almost anything. They're also much easier to clean with anti-bacterial wipes than neoprene. I also like that the colors match each other there isn't a discrepancy between the shades (i.e., the two blue dumbbells match each other). Another point about these dumbbells is that the handles are not too thick, even as the dumbbells get heavier in weight. For example, the handles of the 12 lb. dumbbells aren't so bulky that they're more difficult to hold compared to a lighter set of dumbbells. Best of all, there's no funky odors! I like that I can use the weights and my hands don't smell funny afterwards.
I'm going back to order more pairs from Sam's Club. A word of caution -- just like Amazon, they sell the dumbbells individually, so make sure to put 2 of them in your cart. Sam's Club shipped them via FedEx (ground is the cheapest) and I still received them in about 4 days. Enjoy!

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!! ONLY 1 DUMBBELL!! May 03, 2011
By KHack
I always read the reviews. I didn't. Just like everyone else was very surprised to find only one dumbbell! Why would anyone want just one dumbell? Dont dumbbells come in pairs? Felt this was very deceiving!!!!

Dumbest Dumbbell ever! May 02, 2011
By S. Hartman
Now, really. Why on earth would any manufacturer sell only dumbbell? And, for $1.50 more, I can get TWO dumbbells from another company. Many other reviewers were much more understanding about this, but I am not. Amazon's description is mis-leading and needs to be corrected. The company selling these needs to get with the program.
