Gifts by person
For the first-time home trainer
Start with a bench or a pair of adjustable dumbbells, depending on the space they have.
It adjusts to flat, incline or decline positions, folds for storage and needs some minor assembly.
$99
The pair is two dumbbells, each adjustable up to 24kg, and 48kg is the two added together. It comes in red, yellow or blue.
$209
For someone short on space
24kg adjustable dumbbell pair and weight bench set
The set includes two 24kg dumbbells (each adjustable up to 24kg, 48kg combined), two dumbbell holders and an adjustable FID weight bench that moves between flat, incline and decline positions. Each dumbbell measures 43 x 21 x 21cm (L x W x H) without its holder.
$299
The 24kg pair ($209) and the FID weight bench ($99) bought separately come to $308, so the set is $9 less.
For someone who already lifts heavier
The pair is two dumbbells, each adjustable from 5kg up to 40kg, and 80kg is the two added together. Each dumbbell measures 45 x 25 x 25cm without its holder.
