PowerBlock, Inc. was founded in 1991 by specialty fitness equipment designers who became friends while designing equipment for several companies including Parabody and Cybex. While searching for specific needs in the fitness industry, they were drawn to the large amounts of dumbbells they would encounter in the specialty fitness stores they visited. There had to be a better way of providing fitness enthusiasts with the performance advantage of hand weights without the space and restrictions of old fashioned racks and dumbbells. It was here the idea for PowerBlock was born. After two years of extensive testing, PowerBlock began sales of the newly coined "selectorized dumbbell". Since then, PowerBlock has continued to be the leader in the fitness industry as we constantly strive to out do ourselves in the pursuit of excellence.
PowerBlock (powerblock.com) has 384 customer reviews on The Fair Hearing, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5.

I tried to upgrade the blocks I bought with additional weight kits. I did not realize I had the U50 as they look identical to the U90 50lb on the website. I purchased the kits only to have to return them as they do not fit. The shipping was expensive. My fault but could have been avoided if there was some info regarding this on the website. Good sales response in sorting out the problem.

It took me a minute to figure out how to navigate their site to find the add on I wanted. Once I located it everything was super easy, shipped quickly and exactly as described.

Both the pull up bar and dip extensions are made of quality material but the pull up bar when attached to the bench feels a little wobbly, but still functional.
