Dumbbells are, arguably, the best home training tools money can buy, but investing in a new set can weight heavily on your wallet. Luckily, thanks to a slew of Prime Day dumbbell deals, you can now enjoy hefty discounts on some top quality products.
To help you find some great-value weights, we've done a deep-dive on Amazon and beyond and picked out the best dumbbell deals you can buy right now, from fixed-load hex weights to adjustable dumbbells.
The fixed-weight sets are a perfect fit for dynamic exercise styles like functional strength training. However, if you're looking to build strength at home, you might be better served by adjustable dumbbells like those featured in our roundup of the best weights deals.

Dumbbell deals for under $50
Challenging your muscles to lift the extra load of a dumbbell is a great way to build strength and muscle—you have to continually push yourself to trigger your body into making these adaptations, as per the progressive overload principle.
Strength training is one of the best things you can do for you health, helping you build a stronger, more resilient body that's better equipped to withstand the rigors of everyday life (like running for the bus or picking up heavy objects while moving house) without injury.
It can also boost your body awareness, balance, mood and metabolism—muscle is a metabolically active tissue, so the more you have, the more calories you'll burn at rest.
But strength training isn't the only thing dumbbells are useful for. You can also incorporate them into HIIT workouts for fat loss or, better still, high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) sessions.
These training styles are known for crushing calories, but they also offer a side of significant cardio perks. That's why, if you're after an all-round fitness booster, the dumbbell comes top of our list of recommendations.
