I bought 24kg adjustable dumbbells and they are brilliant! I wish I had invested in them before now. Initially I was worried they would be too bulky but they’re absolutely fine - even for females. The... See more

Excellent Customer Service

I have had an excellent level of service and experience after initially having a few issues with my order. I communicated with Sultan over email and I have to say that the responses from him were fast, efficient, polite and most importantly resolved my issues. I would hugely recommend BrainGain as a result and I will likely shop here again. Thank you Sultan.

Ordered a set of the 40kg dumbbells

Ordered a set of the 40kg dumbbells.
The website said next day delivery however the estimate date was a few weeks away. I got in contact with the support team and they confirmed the estimated was correct and the website needed updated which it was within a few hours of contacting them.

The dumbbells came well packaged as well as split between three packages making it a lot easier to carry to where I would be setting them up.

Overall the quality is great the latching mechanism for the plates seems solid and very secure. Easy to use between sets.
Highly recommend them if you're just start your own home gym/workout.

Braingain 41.5kg adjustable dumbbells

I ordered the heaviest black dumbbells. The shipment arrived quickly but of the four packages one was incorrect. After unsuccessfuly trying to contact Braingain three times (in three weeks) through the form on their homepage I contacted them directly via email. Sultan of customer support got involved and things quickly moved in the right direction. Within a week I got the correct package and the incorrect one was picked up again by UPS.
As far as the dumbbells themselves are concerned I have only used them for four workouts but so far I really like them. They look and feel great and take up far less space than my loadable dumbbells. Changing the weight is easy. Putting them back in the stand correctly after a hard set takes some practice as they have to be oriented correctly. So its best not to change grip after picking them up. One downside is, that the platform itself sometimes gets picked up alongside the dumbbells when using heavier weights (fewer plates remain on the platform)
However I would definitely buy them again, they are a massive improvement for a homegym that is short on space.

Great Customer Service

Original Review
Adjustable dumbbells are incredibly flimsy and prone to locking and/or breaking. I've had to replace the handles several times since purchase. Some under warranty, some at my own cost, only for them to break shortly after. Would not recommend this product.

09/07/2026 Update
The BrainGain customer service team got in touch and I've been incredibly impressed by their response to my negative experience. They've been very polite and understanding to the circumstances and have more than addressed the fault with the equipment. The replacement adjustable dumbbells feel significantly more durable than the originals and I am looking forward to using them again. Thanks to BrainGain for taking the effort to remedy the situation.

Hi Curt,

We’re really sorry to read this and completely understand your frustration. Having repeated issues with handles is not the experience we want for any customer, and you should not be dealing with continuing faults after already replacing parts.

Management has now been made aware of your case, and we would really like the opportunity to review this properly and look at a different resolution for you. Please contact us at support@braingain.fit with your order details so we can pick this up as a priority and work out the best way to get this resolved.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and would like the chance to put this right.

Great team, great product

I've had the SmartBells Pro 41.5kg Adjustable Dumbbells for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied with them, they feel sturdy, are easy to adjust, have a good grip, look great in my home gym, and the shape of the base is pretty useful to stick your feet under, thus helping with exercises such as crunches.

As a side note, I ran into some communication issues trying to get one of my orders sent back but Molly from BrainGain's Customer Service reached out quickly to get it sorted and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

Would easily recommend, a great team selling great products.

Hi Romain,

We’re genuinely sorry you’ve had to chase us and that it felt like you were being ignored. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been, especially when you were simply trying to arrange a return within the correct timeframe.

We’ve looked into this and can see that a reply was sent regarding your return, but it appears not to have reached you correctly. We are currently investigating an ongoing issue affecting some outgoing emails, where messages are being sent from our side but not always reaching customers as expected. We know this is creating confusion and frustration, and we’re really sorry for the impact this has had.

Please be assured that we are not ignoring customers, and we are actively working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Our Customer Experience Manager has now reached out to you directly and will personally keep an eye on your case to make sure your return is arranged and handled properly from here.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We really appreciate the opportunity to get this sorted for you.
