Our Take

The PowerBlock Pro 100 is a premium adjustable dumbbell system that replaces a full rack of weights, adjusting incrementally up to 100 lb (approximately 45 kg) per hand. Aimed at serious home gym users who train with heavy compound and isolation work, it sits firmly in the upper tier of the adjustable dumbbell market, competing with the likes of Bowflex SelectTech 1090.

Key Features

Adjusts from 5 lb to 100 lb (roughly 2.3–45 kg) per dumbbell in incremental stages

Uses a selector pin and collar-style mechanism to change weight quickly between sets

Compact block design replaces up to 16 pairs of traditional dumbbells

Steel construction with a relatively dense, square block shape that stays stable on a rack or stand

Compatible with PowerBlock's optional accessory stand and curl bar attachment

Handles feature an open-centre design, with limited knurling compared to fixed dumbbells

Our Verdict

The PowerBlock Pro 100 suits dedicated home gym users who lift heavy, want a space-efficient solution, and don't mind adapting their technique slightly to the block format. Casual lifters or those who prioritise a traditional dumbbell feel should consider a fixed set or a lower-priced adjustable alternative instead.

What We Like

  • Exceptionally high weight ceiling for an adjustable system, suitable for genuinely strong lifters
  • Saves considerable floor space versus a traditional dumbbell rack
  • Selector mechanism is fast and reliable for changing loads between exercises
  • Long-term expandability via compatible add-on blocks on certain models

Things to Consider

  • Square block shape feels awkward for exercises like hammer curls or floor presses compared to traditional dumbbells
  • Handle grip and knurling are noticeably less satisfying than fixed iron dumbbells
  • Significant upfront cost puts it out of reach for casual or beginner gym users
  • Bulkier dimensions at heavier settings can interfere with natural wrist positioning during some lifts
