Product FAQs

I’ve never used adjustable dumbbells before, how do I adjust the weight?

We have a number of adjustable dumbbells in the BRAINGAIN range and the mechanism to change the weight varies depending on the adjustable dumbbell selected. The most important thing is to make sure that the adjustable dumbbell is in it's tray as the safety lock mechanisms prevent the weights from being changed otherwise.

All of the BRAINGAIN adjustable dumbbells are designed and built to change weights in a matter of seconds rather than minutes with the old style spinlock adjustable dumbbells.

I’ve never used adjustable kettlebells before, how do I adjust the weights?

The adjustable kettlebells have a very simple lock and unlock mechanism when adjusting the weight. Simply pull the tab, slide to unlock and then remove / add the relevant plates to set your weight. Once the weight is set, slide the tab back to lock and you’re good to use your adjustable kettlebell.

What is the best practice to use the adjustable dumbbells?

As with all things mechanical we do advise being sensible when using our adjustable dumbbells. We suggest to always lay down gently and never be dropped. We also suggest using a soft mat to place the dumbbells upon in between sets. Unlike fixed weight dumbbells in a commercial gym, they are not designed to be dropped or thrown down. 

Are the dumbbells / kettlebells easy to use?

The dumbbells and kettlebells are both very easy to use, specifically designed to change the weight in seconds instead of minutes, removing the need for a full rack of fixed weight dumbbells. 

What are the weight increments?

These vary depending on the product and can be found on each product page. The BRAINGAIN adjustable dumbbells vary from 5 dumbbells in 1 all the way up to 26 dumbbells in 1. 

Is there a warranty?

All of the BRAINGAIN products have a 12 month warranty from receipt of delivery. The warranty covers any defects under normal use during the warranty period and we will repair or replace, at no cost, products or parts of the product that are defective because of improper materials or workmanship, under normal use and maintenance.

The warranty does not cover damage of the product resulting from negligence (e.g. dropping the product), unauthorized modification of the product or damage caused by weather (e.g. rust if product is kept outside).

Please note: any orders placed before 1st September 2022 benefit from a 6 month warranty.

Do you stock spare parts?

All of the BRAINGAIN range comes with a 12 month warranty included free of charge, with longer warranty options available. We understand that sometimes you want the peace of mind of having spare parts just in case and we do stock spare handles, bases and plates for each of our products. Please do contact us if you would like to purchase.

If you have ordered more than one item, it is likely they will be delivered at the same. However on some occasions you might receive them on different days and / or with different delivery companies. We use a variety of reputable couriers based on quality of service and cost to make sure we can get your order to you in the quickest way and keep the price of our equipment as affordable as possible. Tracking information is provided on all orders.

Due to the size and the weight of orders many of our products ship in multiple boxes which can sometimes be separated in transit as it goes through the courier’s network and may not be delivered together. We would recommend checking the tracking in the first instance and if the rest of order hasn’t turned up within 48 hours please contact us.
