Why Choose Round Over Hex?

Both the Round and Hex ranges are built to a high standard — but they serve different priorities. The table below shows where each range excels, so you can choose the right dumbbell for how you train.

RUST-PROOF ENGINEERING: The RPM Power Round Dumbbell features a precision-machined aluminium handle that is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. Unlike chrome or nickel-plated steel handles, the protection is built into the material rather than applied as a surface coating. If scratched, aluminium naturally reforms its protective oxide layer, making it ideal for garages, humid environments and busy commercial gyms.

ROUND HEAD PROFILE: The symmetrical round head keeps the weight evenly balanced around the handle, creating a smooth and natural feel during presses, curls, flyes and other free-weight exercises. The rubber-encased cast-iron heads help protect flooring, reduce noise and provide the clean, uniform appearance associated with premium commercial dumbbell areas.

KNURLED ERGONOMIC GRIP: Precision knurling across the aluminium handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, even during high-intensity sessions. The consistent commercial-standard handle diameter ensures the same familiar grip across the entire weight range, while the non-porous surface resists wear from sweat, chalk and regular cleaning.

HYGIENE & MAINTENANCE: The smooth, non-porous aluminium handle is easy to wipe clean and does not suffer from the pitting or flaking that can develop on worn electroplated finishes. This reduces maintenance while helping the dumbbells retain a clean, professional appearance in high-traffic training environments.

CUSTOM BRANDING: The RPM Power Round Dumbbell range is available with custom logo and branding, ideal for commercial gyms, fitness studios, PT facilities, and corporate wellness spaces that want their equipment to reflect their brand identity. Whether you need your logo embossed on the dumbbell heads, branded stand panels, or a fully customised colour scheme, our team can work with you to deliver a bespoke solution.

To ensure minimal shipping costs for our customers, some items may arrive in multiple packages. Although dispatched together, these packages can often become separated on their way to you and some may arrive a day later than the others.

 Pallet orders: Heavy/oversized items are dispatched via the pallet network. Please note that there is no tracking reference provided for pallet deliveries and they are kerbside delivery service only meaning that the delivery driver will not bring your item(s) inside your home.
