Anyone have any experience with these. Trying to build an at home gym and this will save a lot of space. Any complaints and best brands to purchase?

If there was one thing I would’ve done differently I would have gotten power blocks instead of loadable dumbells.
The loadable dumbells are good in theory, but the tips are awkward because where you can rest a powerblock on your leg, the edge of a loadable dumbell is like resting the tip of your barbell on your leg. Sucks.
I’ve used Powerblocks before and loved them. The weight being wrapped around your hand takes a bit to get use to but after a week your good to go.

I have the bowflex adjustable dumbbells. I like them but wish I had the 90s. I'm looking into getting a different set soon or maybe even a 5 - 105 dumbbell set once things settle down.

Another vote for Power Blocks here. Big fan of mine

Love mine get the older set with the metal pins. I’m not a fan of the newer ones with the plastic clip/pin
Find a used set. That’s what I did then purchased the add on kit. I think they go up to 120 or 125 now. The only complaints I have about them are that they kind of move and clank when your doing curls, the handle Wrappings gets mushy when I go over 100# and I can’t go very heavy with an overhead tricep press/ext because I can’t hold it

I also have the Bowflex adjustable set. I really like the ease of use that comes with it, and do not regret the purchase at all.
I’m also a girl, and don’t lift a TON of weight. I stick to the lower end... but still.
