I've been working out at home for years now. It started (unsurprisingly) during the pandemic and, in the years since, I've rarely set foot inside a gym. It's not just about saving membership money, but I also don't have to wait around for the weights and equipment to be free.One of the best changes I made was consolidating my weights into a single set of adjustable dumbbells. I mention this because the Ativafit adjustable dumbbell set I use every week are currently $60 off at Amazon, bringing their price down to $379. This gets you a pair of weights that range from 11lbs to 66lbs.Back when I reviewed these dumbbells for Tom's Guide, I noted things like the textured handle and the easy-switch mechanism on these weights made using them a breeze. Nothing has changed in that regard, but they've definitely taken a beating in the intervening time (the pictures in this post are from when they were still pristine!). I've noticed the mechanism can occasionally get stuck, but a little WD-40 goes a long way.The $60 price drop on this deal brings these dumbbells under the rival $399 SelectTech dumbbells from BowFlex that you'll see in our roundup of the best adjustable dumbbells.If we do the math here, each dumbbell costs $189.50 and if you workout with them three times a week in a 31-day month, you're paying just over $14 per workout per dumbbell. Extend that out to a year and that cost-per-workout shrinks to $1.21 per dumbbell.
