Valeo Neoprene Hand Weights for Fitness Training, Includes Exercise Wall Chart

This is a great set of weights at a reasonable price. I had a different set of 3-pound weights, but lost them; I purchased the Valeo set to replace them, and I like them much better.My last set had a non-slip grip as well, but it was smooth and very sticky; it stuck to everything! I couldn't leave it on my carpet because it would pick up strands; I always had to leave it on a smooth plastic-like surface. And it would pick up dust on the sticky surface!But the Valeo set is a little bit textured and not sticky at all! If your hands get really sweaty, I can see how it might not be so non-slip, but I haven't used it for rigorous activity or outdoors, so I can't say from experience.While I do like the purple color, I wish it had other color options. But I'm happy with this set and would recommend it.

I purchased these weights almost 7 years ago. I have used them more frequently lately since barre/ballet workouts have really come into vogue. Even before those types of exercises, I used them up to five times a week for years. I am really impressed with the fact that the neoprene is not discolored and is still completely in tact. I have also stored these in the most random places (under the bed, in the closet, etc.) and in various humidity/temperature conditions. These also have a very comfortable grip that have never irritated my hands whether they are sweaty or not. They are slightly darker than in the photo, but that did not bother me. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants to workout with light weights at home. They're even light enough to take while traveling and then can be used in a hotel room. If they fall apart then I will definitely purchase them again. I highly recommend these!

I bought these weights along with a copy of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. They are great! Love the pink color. They are great quality and don't roll when you set them down on a smooth surface.In case you are like me, you may be wondering what amount of weight to buy for the 30 day shred. I hemmed and hawed for several days over whether to get 2, 3, or 5 lb weights. Now that I have the dvd and have done the workout, I am SO GLAD I got the 2 lb weights. The workout involves a lot of repetitions, so if you are not super strong, you want very light weights. I would consider myself to be of an "average" level of fitness. If you work with weights a lot or are otherwise pretty strong, you'd probably be fine with 3 or 5 lb weights. But for me, the 2 lb ones are perfect.

The first thing that I like most about this dumbbells is the price that is reasonable compared to the other dumbbells sets sold on Amazon. I was not sure when I ordered whether it would be a good quality dumbbells because the price is relatively cheaper that the other brands. However, once I got them, I think they looked really fine. I cannot see any difference of this set of dumbbells from the other brands which I bought before and more expensive. The only one comment that I have for this dumbbell set is that there is a small bump at the end of each dumbbell which I am sure that it was not the design, but some defect from manufacturing process. Although I don't like this small defect much, it does not bother my workout at all. So, so far I rated this dumbbell four stars.

The Neoprene rubber coating is very nice. It was advertised as being non-marking, and so far that appears to be correct. The flat sections that keep them from rolling after you put them down are very convenient. As long as you place them on the floor with that flat edge down, they stay where you put them. The only negative thing for me has been the diameter of the handle bar. I have somewhat small hands, so I would have preferred a more slender hand grip like all the other weights I own. That minor problem has not stopped me from using, but I do have to be careful to keep a tight grip.

These weights were exactly what I was expecting - 3 pounds and purple. :-) I was concerned by other reviewers' comments that they might be uncomfortable and have things "poking out," but mine don't have any problems like that. There is a seam, naturally, but it doesn't hurt my hands at all. I bought these to replace some 2 lb weights that had foam lining that my dog chewed off. She can't chew the neoprene off these!One small con keeping me from giving it 5 stars: I found them cheaper at Target. As an Amazon Prime shopper, it almost never works out that I find something cheaper in town since Amazon usually has great prices and I get free shipping, but Target had a selection of weights that were a couple of dollars cheaper and seemed just as good.

If you have smaller hands they might not work well for you. I have pretty big hands for a women and my hand just wraps around it. It does make it a bit hard to hold them, and I've almost dropped them a few times, but if you have larger hands they should work just fine for you.

They are a good pair for beginners like me. This is the first pair I bought.It will seem like they are very light weight but once you start the exercise you will feel the burn.They are not overly heavy not too light. The grip is very good , non slip. They don't roll away. And last but not least they are my daughter's favorite color purple :).I have been using this for a year now and they are still good as new. When I am working at my desk I just do 2 sets on each hand one at a time . This is the laziest work out ever

A pair of 8 pounds weights

Smell a little chemically at first but do the job

Exactly what I was expecting.

Good quality, good price, great value.

Very comfortable grip
