I have had my Ironmaster Kettlebells for several months now. Before I purchased the Iromaster brand I had all but given up on adjustable kettlebells. Believe me I have tried several brands. The Ironmaster brand is by far the sturdiest and easiest to adjust that I have ever used. I recommend them to everyone I discuss kettlebell training with.

Wow! I just received my dumbells (exactly when you said I would) and I am amazed! I've been weight training for 24 years and have worked/worked out in various gyms and this set is as close as you can come to pro-dumbells. I have been building my home gym over the last year and even bought a pair of another brand's adjustable dumbells (rhymes with "power-shock") and your dumbells rock! My old dumbells were very awkward and unbalanced especially when I used them with their 130 lb add-on kit. I could not 'wrap-in' which limited my training...and I was staying away from my usual training weights due to the fear of dropping these expensive items and bending them. Finally, I am hitting the weight in my home gym that I used to hit when I was a member in a commercial gym. Thank You!

I got my super bench today along with the 75 lbs adjustable dumbells.  Feel free to but this letter in your testimonial; it is a pleasure to recommend your equipment.  The equipment came packed with unsurpassed care.  Each weight plate was individually wrapped with a thin pad between them.  The bench was also packaged in such a way as to assure its safe arrival free of damage.  The free stand for the dumbells is solid and well constructed with a rubber/or rubber like non slip pad on each shelf.  The dumbells are heavy duty and look and feel substantial/solid.  The quick change mechanism is very easy to use and locks the plates securely. Changes are very rapid right from the start.

The super bench is a truly impressive design.  Changing positions is quick and smooth.  The construction is heavy duty and feels very solid at all angles.  The dip and sit-up attachments are also heavy construction and clearly built to last.  Everything about the bench and the weights radiates not just quality but craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

One of the things I like best about your equipment is it marries old school heft and quality with innovation.  Your stuff is cool.  I am proud to own it and I look forward to not only using it every day but showing it off to my friends.  The pictures and even the videos do not do the equipment justice.

Also I want to thank you for the t-shirts-  I bought an extra set of handles for my wife and you guys sent an extra t for her.  Very nice. Thank you again for creating this excellent equipment. 

Sincerely,

After doing an extensive Internet search I decided to purchase the Ironmaster Super Bench combo which included the Crunch Situp and Bar Dip Handles. I believe that most people like me would have understandable concerns about making a large purchase on fitness equipment without being able to try it out first. I was very encouraged, however, by the comments that I read regarding the Super Bench. By far the vast majority of the comments that I read about the bench gave it 5 “stars” or a minimum of 4 for trivial reasons at best. As for my experience thus far, the bench is extremely stable, built of high-quality material, very simple to use, conveniently versatile and worth every penny that I paid. I can honestly say that the combo deal that I selected was one of the best purchase decisions that I’ve ever made about anything. Similar to other comments that I’ve read, it practically took longer to get the items out of the box after it was delivered than the actual assembly involving about 4 screws, washers, and bolts. I am 6’1” tall, 215lbs, and 41-years-old. I recently got back into strength and fitness training after years of sports injuries as well as the “wear and tear” on my middle-aged body. My 13-year-old son is about 5’5” tall and 100lbs. Now that he is a teenager I’ve allowed him to strength train with me. We both absolutely LOVE this multi-purpose bench and I have been a member of multiple fitness clubs with “state of the art” commercial equipment! We have not had any issues with regard to the height of the bench – both of us can comfortably place are feet on the floor. The legs have proved to be wide enough for terrific stability when performing exercises with the situp and dip attachments, although I can understand why others would prefer a slightly wider base for additional assurance. If one is just using the bench for basics such as flat, incline, and decline bench the transition is virtually effortless. It is beyond easy to add and remove the seat, dip bar, and situp attachment (which you WILL NEED it for declines). And how hard is it to pick up or slide the bench and move it 180 degrees? Answer: It’s not! Final verdict – 5 stars. Stop looking and buy this bench and/or combo! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Ironmaster for your thoughtfulness and quality control. Please continue improving your products based on even the most trivial concerns that customers have. There is always a future competitor out there looking to dethrone you and take a bite out of your share of the market. Your innovation, quality, and customer service are why people buy. From what I have read the concerns seemed to be inexpensive improvements that could make your product brand experience even better which will have a positive impact on your bottom line.

"I've been using my equipment now for about a week.  By far the best home equipment in the industry without busting your bank account.  And, for those who have hard wood floors like I do be sure to get the rubber mat.  The price is a bit on the upscale but then again so is the product.  The mat is so heavy and dense it actually feels like you're standing on the floor instead of the mat!

And, by the way, don't be intimated with the idea of assembly.  I had the weight bench and the attachments together with no sweat.  And, this includes assembly of the weight rack!  Hex (allen) keys are included so you don't have to fumble around trying to find the right tools.  A superbly, well thought out product.  Real LIVE people too - customer service is par excellence. I don't make endorsements easily but this one gets 5 stars in my book!"

Hello Ironmaster, Here is my no-nonsense review of your product (Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells and SuperBench). For those who prefer a succinct testimonial, it is this: my expectations were high, and they were exceeded. For those who like more detail, read on. While others may credit your product for their positive results, I will only go as far as to say that the bench and dumbells made it easier for me to achieve the results I wanted. No piece of equipment is a substitute for proper diet and training. In truth, weight is weight. But, that is not to say that all dumbells are created equal - design can make a huge difference re: what you achieve from your workouts. Quick-lock dumbells have many advantages over the standard design, as well as advantages over competing "quick change" designs. First and foremost: your dumbells are bombproof. After doing decline bench presses, I have no choice but to be able to "drop" the weight to the ground. They handle this with ease, and "thud" to the mat with the sound of solid-state dumbells. When they are locked, they are LOCKED - absolutely NO wiggling or clanking of the weights. Changing the weights is easy enough, and the speed at which I can do so quickly increased from 30 seconds to less than 10. So, "too much rest time" is simply not an issue. Finally, a point that is missed by other reviews, and also seemingly missed by your website, is that the weights can be set (or rested) vertically. This is a HUGE advantage over all other dumbells! You can set them on your thighs comfortably. Anyone who has performed incline bench using heavy weights knows how important this is; you need to be able to use your legs/thighs to help assist the wieights into position. Finally, this feature also opens the door to many other exercises - specifically, many arm definition movements. As for the bench, I will be more abbreviated: I have punished this thing doing isolation rows, and it is no worse for wear. It is completely SOLID, even when inclined, and it adjusts quicker and easier than any bench I've ever used. It is obvious that your equipment is the result of years of design improvements - by someone who KNOWS weightlifting. Materials are solid. Design is simple and intelligent. I'd tell you that you have a customer for life, but that wouldn't be accurate, seeing as these things will last so darn long that I'll likely never need to purchase anything from you again. A+ product!!

Thanks, Ted B. Madison, WI

I am one of those customers you rarely hear from unless I have a complaint. A product really has to go WAY above and beyond my expectations before I'll take the time to send praise; this is because I expect to receive products that are at least as good as what is advertised. It is rare that products or services exceed my expectations. With that said; the quick-lock dumbell system and super bench that I purchased from you guys has to be some of the finest exercise equipment I've ever used in my 25+ years of working out with various products, and at various well-known gyms.

Keep up the great work!

Al A. Abington, PA

I bought you Quick-Lock Dumbells about a month ago and was immediately impressed by how easy they are to use. On top of that, they look and feel terrific. You clearly spent a lot of time designing equipment that was easy to use, ergonomic, and looks good enough to put on display. The only problem with your equipment is that it is addictive. I was so impressed by the dumbells thatI gave away my weight bench and bought your Super Bench, along with a number of the attachments for it, plus the add-on kit for the dumbells, and your straight bar. I was not disappointed. Again, the quality of everything exceeded my expectations. And the attachments give me tremendous versatility in a small space. They are quick to put on and take off, so I don't waste any workout time.

Thank you,

Mike S.

Your company does sell a great product. I used a Bowflex for years but had hit a plateau. The “power” rods weren’t so powerful. Their progressive resistance gave an illusion of gain. Also, I’m 6’3” and over 230 pounds. Its build quality wasn’t designed for my size. In contrast, your system is real steel. The dumb bells build strength, endurance, and balance. I credit your products for curing a nagging shoulder injury. The Bowflex allowed me to cheat and unintentionally divert load to my good shoulder. I would recommend your products to anyone. For the record, I’m nearly 50 and, over the years, have broken my share of fitness equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, and resistance bands that were all apparently intended only for 110 pound housewives. I don’t see how I can break your stuff but I’ll keep trying.

I have had the Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells since sometime last year and I have to say, I am more than impressed. These things will hold up against anything and feel like real gym fixed weight dumbells. I have just ordered the 120lb add-on kit and have no doubt I will be just as satisfied with that as well. A note to those out there looking for a good set of dumbells: The Bowflex© Dumbells and every other "Dial the weight" quick dumbells are for wannabe bodybuilders. They don't hold up, they don't go high enough on the weight and are very awkward. If you are wanting to bodybuild or powerlift don't go with a dumbell just because a ripped guy on an infomercial bragged all night about how good they are. They aren't. Do your homework, they fall apart all the time and aren't heavy enough. The only thing that will ever come close to the quality and usability of the Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells are the Powerblocks©, however from what I have read and just by looking at them, I can say with confidence that they are WAY too awkward. The design severely limits the wrist's range of movement. Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells have no such design flaws. The Bowflex© Dumbells cost just as much and weigh less than these puppies! Bowflex© Dumbells 90lb version will run you $700. The Ironmaster 75lb dumbells WITH the 120lb addon kit will run you only $690. 30lb more for $10 less anyone? And just hearing all the testimonials about how those Bowflex© Dumbells fall apart, I would hate to be doing skullcrushers or dumbell bench presses as that happens. I think that every bodybuilder would agree that injuries which keep you from the gym till they heal are like our worst nightmare! Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells are the best out there. Period. I searched for 2 weeks, read review after review. It doesn't get any better than Ironmaster. So glad I found them before I made the mistake of buying the Bowflex© Dumbells. If you're gonna go, go all out. Ironmaster all the way! I would say that should I ever need to replace my dumbells I would undoubtedly get another pair of Ironmaster's… but I, as everyone else who owns Ironmaster gear, know that they never break so that's never gonna happen. Besides, if by some impossible event they were to break, Ironmaster has my back with a lifetime warranty to cover the replacement. You know a company has a good product when they are willing to cover the replacement of the item should the need ever arise during your entire life. If you came here looking for the best dumbells for the best price, you found them.

This is as good as it gets.

Thanks for the response to my e-mail. I received my Ironmaster Package 4 plus add-on kit for the Quick-Lock Dumbbells (which adds 45 pounds to each dumbbell), the organizer and the two wheel kits for the Super Bench three days ago and I am already loving it! With all those attachments and accessories it took me a total of nearly four hours to assemble everything - but then I'm not the most mechanically gifted guy around. The packaging and the assembly instructions were very professionally done and it made for a much easier time of assembling all those pieces. I know it was a very worthwhile investment - both in time and money outlay. The foresight you had in designing the Quick-Lock Dumbbell System and the Super Bench - the way it adjusts to different angles with the mere upward movement of one foot and raising or lowering one end of the bench on its axis with one hand - is nothing short of genius! There is nothing else on the market like the Quick-Lock Dumbbells for the person who wants a home gym that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and who doesn't have a lot of extra square footage in their house or apartment to hold a set of dumbbells that have the capability of going from five to 120 pounds each in 2 1/2 pound increments. Furthermore, there is nothing out there that even comes close to the versatility of the Super Bench - regardless of price - with its easy-adjustment to so many angles while having the seat remain perpendicular to the bench (in a choice of three different heights) regardless of angle, and its adaptation to so many different attachments and accessories - and still more are coming! I'm looking forward to that! In summary, Ironmaster has the best combination of basic equipment and attachments/accessories for home gym use of any fitness related company in existence, no matter the price to the customer. And I ought to know - I took four months of intense search on the internet to find the right combination for my needs before deciding to make my purchase from Ironmaster! And I am sure glad I did!

Thanks much. Sincerely,

David A. Bakersfield, CA

... By the way, the IM2000 was as advertised. My only regret is that I did not find you guys sooner. This thing is awesome! I especially like the fact that the bar does not have any counter-weights so you are getting the full effect of the weights. Thanks for everything and I will spread the word to my friends that are looking for home gym solutions.

Kindest regards,

Michael J.

I got the Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells set up and they are awesome! I wasn't sure how fast I'd be able to change weights but it's perfect! I vary reps in different muscle groups and still change the weights well within my normal rest time!
I was also impressed on the feel, exactly as your website said... They feel like the real deal. I'm glad I did a bit of research before I purchased the bowflex, so nice to have the real deal and be able to go to 75lbs.
It's only a matter of time before I'll be buying the added weights and ez-curl bar. Thanks again!!!!!

Sincerely,

Sean M. - Grand Rapids MN

I purchased your product about 2 months ago. I accidently picked up a brochure at a local dealer and got home and began to take a look at it. I researched it online and went back to the store and purchased the IM2000 and the Quick lock dumbells/super bench. I have been lifting weights for over 20 years and this is an awsome product. Just wanted to let you know. Also your website is very good for letting people know what your product is capable of.

Thanks,

Scott K.

I received my Super Bench with the Crunch, Dip and Chin up attachments as well as my Quick Lock Dumbells early last week. I have now moved from the gym to my home with the slightest of ease. The Super Bench is much nicer than anything you'll find at your local gym. I have belonged to many over the years in many different states. The Super Bench and the Quick-Lock Dumbells are perfect for my home. I was about 2-hundreths of a second away from buying adjustable dumbells from a competitor and LUCKILY found your website just in time. After perusing your site and speaking with your wonderful CSR's, I quickly decided that Ironmaster was the way to go. Thank goodness I did. I am a workout-aholic and am absolutely in love with your merchandise. The Super Bench is sturdy and easy to adjust. The attachments are top shelf and work very well with the bench. Dips and Pull-ups are very stable. The Quick-Lock dumbells are sheer genius. They change fast and they are just like traditional dumbells. The free stand is very sturdy and excellent quality. You guys are extremely top notch and I thank you very much for your wonderful products! Keep up the great work!

Sincereley,

Carroll G.

As senior science editor for Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines, I get to try a variety of training equipment. Out of all the adjustable dumbbells I have tried, the Ironmaster Quick Lock Dumbbell System is the best. In fact, they are so good they are the only dumbbells I have in my home gym. They are the only dumbbells I need. With the Quick-Lock Dumbbell Add-on Kit, I can have an entire rack of dumbbells, from 5-120 pounds, in a matter of seconds. They make it easy to move from one exercise to the next.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how happy and satisfied I am with the Ironmaster 120lb dumbbell set I ordered from you. The product is truly as advertised, the dumbells are well built, solid steel and easy to change best of all there is not need for me to have twenty plus individual dumbbell sets. I have trained in a commercial gym for over 15 years and wanted nothing but the best in equipment, I believe that the Ironmaster dumbbells are the best quality and durable adjustable dumbbells on the market. I just wanted to thank the Ironmaster team for providing me with an outstanding product and friendly customer service. I look forward to future pieces of equipment manufactured by Ironmaster.

thanks very much and happy training,

Jim R.

I just wanted to let you all know you have an outstanding product. I previously owned the "Quick Change" dumbells and was thoroughly impressed. But the "Quick Lock" dumbells are simply put- Awsome!! Quicker and take up less space means more focus on my workout and not changing plates. Also, your customer service is superb!! More companies should do business the way Ironmaster does!!!!

Thanks again for such a fine product,

Dean A.

I recently purchased the super bench and I can honestly say that it is the best piece of equipment that I have purchesed period! I have owned a soloflex, a bowflex power pro, and have worked out in the some of the best gyms in Callifornia and the the Super Bench out ranks them all. I know that is saying a lot but the super bench should be in every home. Thanks for building such a quality product and please do not change it! The Bench is made of the highest quality material and has a keen design... keep it up and you have a customer for life! Note: I live in CA and the only place I could see the bench was on the web... I am a very picky consumer and I expect a lot. I took a leep a faith and i am not sorry.

Thanks,

Justin K.

I'm glad I chose Ironmaster to outfit my home gym! The combination of the IM2000, Super Bench and Quick-Lock Dumbell Set doesn’t even take up HALF of my spare bedroom, yet this equipment enables me to perform practically unlimited exercises. The attachments and the add-on sets are ingenious, with the same durability, quality, and ease-of-use of the base equipment, without taking up anymore space. Thanks to its durablilty and design, this is equipment that I will never outgrow!

Thanks,

Mirek K.

Just wanted to let you know that the Iron Master II that I purchased from you in 1989 or 1990 is still serving me well and I'm very satified with it. I received you brochures on the current Iron Master products and if and when mine wears out, I'll be ordering another one from you. I've used mine faithfully 4-5 times a week and its still going strong. Thanks for a great product.

Thanks,

Reid L.

Just a note to say how impressed I am with the Ironmaster Bench. What an excellent piece of equipment, at a reasonable price. It has made a great addition to my gym. PS- Everyone who has seen/used your bench at my facility were really impressed with it. That says a lot when you're talking about an exercise bench!

Thanks,

Mark D., Owner Gensis Gym

Just dropping a line to say that my Super Bench arrived yesterday and that it is AWESOME! I really appreciated that I only needed to bolt on the feet to get up & running, not to mention that it's built like a tank! Looking forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Keith C.

I just wanted to let you guys know how pleased I am with the ironmaster super bench and quick-lock weight system. I did a lot of research into what would be the best small home gym setup and was very skeptical of all the dumbell systems out there. Ironmaster seemed to be make the most sense and was the least complicated of all the other home gym setups out there. I thought about a bowflex but I don't like guided movements over dumbell excercises. I also heard that they break often. I think my only hesitation with the ironmaster quick lock system was with the time it would take to swap out the plates for two separate dumbells. I quickly realized though that it's the perfect amount of time for rest in between sets. The size of the handles are perfect; they're large and super comfortable on my palms in comparison to standard hex dumbell grips. I've always been skeptical about attachments on a universal bench but you guys got it just right. The pull up, dip, and leg attachments all work in a very sturdy and professional way. I can't thank the designers enough for making such a stable, durable, compact, and professional feeling home gym setup. I can comfortably work out in one of my spare bedrooms by only using a 9' x 7' space with anti-fatigue mats. It's great, thank you again Ironmaster!

Thanks,

Weston, B. - Ramona, CA.

I got the dumbells yesterday and they look and work great. Thank you to everyone there for being helpful and keeping me informed during the processing and shipping of the equipment.

Sincerely,

Stephen H.

The Superbench has met all of my expectations and then some. The versatility that this bench provides allows me to perform so many different exercises and with only a set of dumbbells, my "weight room" takes up very little space. All of my friends have been asking about the bench and how to get one!!

Sincerely,

Dave B.

Received the order, got it all together and wanted to tell you it all works great. Very very nice stuff. The bench is the best design I've seen yet. Really. And ive been powerlifting over 17 years, have trained in gyms all over the world and the us. Its definately the best designed utility bench.

Thanks,

Greg T. 

Just wanted to let you know that I received my dumbells yesterday and they are great. Very compact and durable ... they are perfect for my needs. Well worth the wait. I plan to place an order for the 120lbs upgrade in a couple of months.

Again Many Thanks,

Roberto A.

I really like the dumbbells and I'm looking forward to arm day to put them through their paces.

Daniel P.

I have received the Super Bench and I am really impressed with the design and quality of materials. The heavy gauge steel makes a big difference.

Thanks,

Kelly

I would just like to let you know about how pleased I am with my purchase of your quick change dumbells. They are a great space saver and an excellent design. I also had excellent customer service.

Thank you,

Peter J.

What a great product with SUPER customer service. I will pass the word.

I am a personal trainer and just got the Super Bench. Wow! This bench is so much better than the three others I have used before. You build a great product!

Thanks a lot,

Tony M.

The new dumbells work just like you said and they are getting used everyday! Glad I upgraded!

Regards,

Ray I.

I just ordered the Add on Kit for the Quick-Lock Dumbells. I plan to take them on the road with me so I can stay in shape when I travel. I will take the Super Bench also.

Thanks again,

Ryan O.

I am a strength coach and I have already shown my Super Bench to 3 other coaches who want one. I will try to send more business your way. Can’t wait to try the new dumbells!

Thanks,
