POWERBLOCK
PowerBlock revolutionized the fitness industry in 1993 with the launch of the world’s first commercially successful adjustable dumbbell. Our patented, selectorized design transformed how people train at home—replacing entire racks of traditional dumbbells with one compact, efficient solution. It also transformed the world of pro sports by becoming commercially available to hundreds of professional sports teams, redefining how athletes train, recover, and optimize performance.
For over 30 years, we've led the way in innovation, setting the standard that many others have tried to follow. From unmatched durability and expandability to space-saving engineering, PowerBlock continues to raise the bar in strength training equipment.
We don’t just build adjustable dumbbells. We invented them, and here's how we make sure to continuously stand out:
Carl Towley noticed dumbbells cluttering gyms and homes, leading him to dream of a better design for adjustable dumbbells. His passion for fitness began in California during the 1970s, inspired by bodybuilding legends. After years of working in health clubs and struggling as an entrepreneur, he identified the need for improved gym equipment. Through extensive prototyping and research, he developed the PowerBlock, which features a nested weight stack and secure handle design, revolutionizing adjustable dumbbells.
