Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • 24 kg per hand is a realistic long-term ceiling for most home lifters
  • 15 increments give finer jumps than a 5 kg-step set

✗ Cons

  • Sold per piece, so budget for two to train both sides
  • Loading plates between sets breaks the rhythm of a superset

The 24kg adjustable dumbbell hits the ceiling most home lifters actually use: 15 increments from 2.5 kg up to 24 kg per hand, for around ₱3,900 per piece as of August 19, 2026.

Is 24 kg the right ceiling?

For the majority of people training at home, yes. Twenty-four kilos in one hand is a serious row or a serious press, and getting there takes most people a long time. Buying a 40 kg dumbbell to use 18 kg of it is a common and expensive mistake.

The 15 increments are the practical feature. Starting at 2.5 kg and stepping up finely means you can add a small amount each week, which is how progress actually happens, rather than facing a 5 kg jump you cannot make yet.

The per-piece catch

Same warning as every heavy adjustable here: the price is for one dumbbell. Two of them is the real cost of training both sides, and that puts the set well above most complete sets in this roundup. It is worth doing that maths before you fall in love with the spec.

Loading plates between sets also takes about half a minute, which matters if you like fast circuits.

Is it sulit?

At around ₱3,900 per piece as of August 19, 2026, a pair is a significant spend. Set against buying a light set now and a heavier one next year, it works out better, and the fine increments mean you use every step of the range.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you train seriously enough to need real load but sensibly enough to know 40 kg per hand is not coming soon. Skip it if a pair breaks your budget, or if you want instant weight changes.

Alternatives to consider

If you want the highest ceiling available here and the budget allows, the 40kg adjustable dumbbell uses the same format with more range. For a complete set at a similar total spend, the York Fitness Chrome 30kg includes both dumbbells and a barbell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price for one dumbbell or a pair?

One. It is a per-piece listing, so training both sides means two units and double the cost. Check the variant selector before checkout rather than assuming a pair is included.

How fine are the 15 increments?

They start at 2.5 kg and climb to 24 kg, which works out to small, manageable jumps. Fine steps are what keep you progressing week to week instead of stalling in front of a 5 kg gap.

Is 24 kg per hand enough long term?

For most people training at home, comfortably. Rows and presses at 24 kg per hand represent a serious working load. Only committed lifters chasing heavy volume will find the ceiling.

What is the downside against a fixed dumbbell?

Time. Every weight change means sliding plates and locking a collar, roughly half a minute. In a circuit or superset that pause breaks the rhythm, which is the trade you make for the range.
