Knowing what to purchase to help achieve your goals is important. To build strength and tone targeted muscle groups, free weights are effective tools. Gone are the days when weight stands and barbells took up huge amounts of space and involved locking heavy plates onto the bars.  Modern free weights come in a handy and useful PowerBlock form.  So, how can a new fitness buff choose the best free weights? Research is the key; knowing what you want, what you can afford and what each option will provide you with will help you get started on the road to fitness! ## Top of the Line ![free weights.jpg](https://blog.pushpedalpull.com/hs-fs/hubfs/free%20weights.jpg?width=195&name=free%20weights.jpg) The PowerBlock IB-S55 Sport 5.5 is being touted as the world’s smartest dumbbell.  This handy little block replaces 1265 lbs. of free weights and 22 pairs of dumbbells. Rather than having all those separate pieces of weight equipment hanging around you, simply use the adjustable PowerBlock to customize your workout to your needs. This is very handy as you increase your fitness levels. You won’t have to purchase more and more weights.  As far as pricing goes, the top of the line model is the priciest as well, but in comparison with other free weight setups you’re saving a great deal of money. Imagine if you had to purchase 1265 lbs. of free weights in 5 pound increments, that cost would be tremendous. At a price of around $350 the [PowerBlock IB-S55 Sport 5.5](http://pushpedalpull.com/index.php/powerblock-ib-s55-sport-5-5-set.html) is actually a bargain. ## Mid Range While the PowerBlock IB-S55 Sport 5.0 only replaces 10 sets of dumbbells and 550 pounds of free weights this is still a great set for home use. The versatility of the PowerBlock system makes it easy to upgrade using cores and towers for more weight as your fitness level increases. With the price tag of just at $300 this is a great mid range free weight set. ## Bargain![weights-1.jpg](https://blog.pushpedalpull.com/hs-fs/hubfs/weights-1.jpg?width=195&name=weights-1.jpg) The bargain priced PowerBlock IB-S55 Sport 2.4 only costs around $150 making it a very inexpensive, quality starter set. The 2.4 set replaces 216 lbs. of free weights or 8 pairs of dumbbells. As with the 5.0 you can purchase additional cores and towers to match your fitness level as you build your strength. PowerBlock is the new free weight system that is quickly replacing those old, bulky free weight sets. These 3 sets are the best free weights for 2017, and have something for everyone no matter what their fitness level or budget. ### Subscribe Here! ### Topics ### Top Posts [Back to Blog](https://blog.pushpedalpull.com) ## Related Articles ## [Best Treadmills of 2016](https://blog.pushpedalpull.com/best-treadmills-of-2016) Best Treadmills of 2016 Now that the first quarter of the year is over, you have a better idea of...
