Hello all, I need to buy more dumbbells for my weight training, and I am hoping to find a good price on them. I know where i can get them but if anyone knows of a place that sells them at an excellent price that would be helpful, thanks!

    I know Five Below (if you have one by you; everything in the story is $5 or less) has some weights, but I'm not sure how high they go.

    They also have some other workout stuff (bands, etc).

    I got two PowerBlocks at BestBuy. $79 a set. Each set contains one dumbbell with weight ranges from 6-24#. You can adjust the dumbbell to the weight of your choosing by placing the pin in the correct slot. I love them. They are along the same idea as the Bowflex SelectTech dial-a-weight dumbbells, but they arent as heavy and nowhere NEAR the price :D

    Buy them second hand on Ebay or an equivalent if you can be bothered with the hassle. Many people buy them new, barely use them and then sell them for half the price. Sweeeeet.

    If you think you will use them a lot then buy an adjustable set and add as you go. This ultimately saves on price and space.

    Not sure if they are in your area, but Play It Again Sports, sells second hand equipment and there prices are generally pretty reasonable.
