ALLOW FOR A WIDER
RANGE OF MOTION

MACHINES DO. 
THEY ARE ALSO
EXTREMELY
VERSATILE AND EASY
TO STORE, WHICH
MAKES THEM
ESSENTIAL FOR ANY
HOME GYM SET UP.
With free weights, you’re
fully in control of the speed
and direction of movement.
In addition, dumbbells
activate more muscle mass
than machines do.

THE TOP 8 BENEFITS
OF FREE WEIGHTS
Want to squeeze in a 20-
minute session without
having to face the world?
Create your very own gym
space at home. Free
weights are affordable and
don’t take up much room!
FREE WEIGHTS
CAN BE USED
ANYWHERE
Free weights give you the
freedom to target smaller
muscles that typically don’t get
much of a workout. Bicep and
tricep curls are arguably easier
to do with free weights than a
machine. 
WEIGHTS TARGET
FORGOTTEN
MUSCLES
Lifting weights for less than an
hour a week may reduce your
risk for a heart attack or stroke
by 40 to 70 percent. It’s safe to
say that lifting heavy can
actually help to keep us alive.
WEIGHTS PROTECT
US FROM HEART
DISEASE
Our bodies tend to have one
side that is more dominant
and stronger than the other.
Free weights are a great way
of adjusting that imbalance.
WEIGHTS IMPROVE
YOUR BALANCE
Resistance machines will help
you get stronger, but free
weights allow you to mimic the
kinds of movements you do
outside of the gym e.g.
carrying, pushing, pulling. 
WEIGHTS MAKE
YOU FUNCTIONALLY
FIT
If you want to practice
mindful movement, weight
lifting can help shut off busy
thoughts as it forces you to
focus on the moves you’re
doing.
FREE WEIGHTS
HELP WITH
MINDFULNESS
Free weights aren’t reserved
solely for dumbbells –
kettlebells are equally
effective. Try incorporating a
kettlebell into reps of several
exercise circuits.

STATS
At around age 30, we begin to lose up to 5%
lean muscle mass every 10 years, but weight
training can help reverse that.
You can reduce body fat the most by
combining strength training with dieting.
Studies of older adults have pointed to
improvements in cognitive function, like
memory and processing speed, in individuals
who participated in strength training.
Hex Dumbbells are the perfect
option for building size and
strength in all your key muscle
groups. The rubberised ends of
these dumbbells have a hex
shape, which prevents them from
rolling on the floor. 
A great option for anyone looking
for a safe, durable dumbbell for
their home gym. Due to the weight
of these premium rubber dumbbells
being a single piece, they are much
more resistant to any exterior
damage.
A worthwhile at-home gym investment
if you're looking to amp up your
strength training in 2023. Out of all
the pieces of equipment you can find
in a gym, you’ll be hard-pressed to
find a more versatile tool than the
barbell for building strength. 
Kettlebells have become hugely
popular for use at home. These
simple, versatile, and convenient
weights are small and easy to carry,
but they also offer a huge range of
workouts so you can mix things up
whenever you want.
