Everything you need to know about Hex Dumbbells by Physical

Introducing Hex Dumbbells – the power of the hexagon!

Looking for more than just your average dumbbell? Enter the Hex Dumbbell, with a unique hexagonal design that offers enhanced stability, an even greater variety of exercise options and a sleek aesthetic.

But what exactly are Hex Dumbbells, and why might they be the perfect addition to your workout routine? Read on to find out!

What are Hex Dumbbells?

Hex Dumbbells stand out with their six-sided head shape, but this is far more than just a quirky design feature. They also offer a practical and functional alternative to traditional round dumbbells.

At Physical, our gym floor Hex Dumbbells feature a resilient surface layer of durable virgin rubber around the heads. This ensures longevity and protection against daily wear and tear, as well as providing a comfortable grip for any exercises that involve holding the heads.

Meanwhile, our Neo Hex Dumbbells are perfect for group exercise environments. Fully encased in a medium density neoprene coating for excellent sweat protection, they are colour-coded for convenience of weight selection.

What are the benefits of going hexagonal?

So, why choose Hex Dumbbells or Neo Hex Dumbbells over their round counterparts?

Here are some key advantages:

Stability: The flat sides of the hex head prevent rolling, minimising the risk of accidents on the gym floor and keeping your workout space tidy, as well as ensuring your studio dumbbells don’t roll away during a group exercise class!

Versatile exercises: With our gym floor Hex Dumbbell Sets, the straight edges allow you to incorporate them in exercises that require stability. This opens up new workout possibilities such as renegade rows and floor presses, where you can safely rest your body weight on the dumbbell without it moving.

Wide weight range: Our gym floor Hex Dumbbells range from 1kg up to 50kg, depending on the product you choose, catering for beginners through to advanced lifters. Meanwhile, our Neo Hex Dumbbells start at 0.5kg per dumbbell, going up to 10kg.

Space-saving: Their compact, hexagonal design also allows for efficient storage, as they can nestle closer together than round dumbbells.

How much do Hex Dumbbells cost?

Prices vary significantly depending on what you need. For example, a pair of 0.5kg Neo Hex Dumbbells is priced at £4.50 inc VAT; a pair of 20kg ZIVA XP Hex Rubber Dumbbells costs £190.01 inc VAT; and a pair of 50kg ZIVA SL Premium Hexagon Virgin Rubber Dumbbells – our premium range – costs £634.78 inc VAT.
