Bodytone Rubber Hex Dumbbells 5 kg — Pair

The Bodytone 5 kg rubber hex dumbbells — sold as a pair, 10 kg total — open the hex progression for beginners and intermediates: shock-absorbing rubber heads, anti-roll shape and knurled chrome handles in a commercial-grade build. Price: 36.40 EUR excluding VAT per pair.

The entry point of the free-weights rack

Five kilograms is where most new members meet the dumbbell rack: goblet squats, presses, rows and core work at a load that teaches movement before it tests strength. For intermediates it remains the accessory weight — lateral raises, rehabilitation-friendly pressing, warm-up sets — so the 5 kg pair works across the whole membership rather than one segment of it.

Commercial build in a light weight

Light pairs take the most handling of any rack position, so this one is built to the same standard as the heavy end of the run: one-piece construction, high-density rubber heads that absorb daily set-downs and protect the flooring, and a machined knurl on the chromed handle that stays secure in sweaty hands. The hexagonal profile stops the pair rolling into walkways and steadies floor-based moves like renegade rows.

Quietly professional

Rubber-encased heads keep re-racking noise down — a small detail that matters in hotel gyms, physiotherapy rooms and studios sharing a building with offices or bedrooms.

Specifications

Planning quantities for a functional zone

Because the 5 kg pair serves beginners, warm-ups and circuits simultaneously, it runs out before any other weight when a class starts. Practical sizing: one pair per two members in circuit formats, which means a twelve-station functional zone typically stocks four to six pairs of 5 kg against one or two pairs of the heavier steps. On the rack, position the light pairs at mid-height — the most-grabbed weights should need no bending or reaching — and keep the pairs together with colour or position discipline so re-racking stays fast between classes. We plan rack layout and duplicates as part of a full free-weights quote.

Frequently asked questions

Who reaches for the 5 kg pair?

Beginners building base strength, intermediates on accessory and warm-up work, and coaches running mixed circuits. It is typically the highest-rotation pair in the rack, so many clubs stock it in duplicate.

Why hex rather than round at this weight?

Stability and order: hex pairs stay where they are set down, double as push-up and row handles, and keep busy functional zones safe from rolling weights.

Can a full run be quoted with racks?

Yes. We quote complete hex runs with storage and quantity discounts — free quote within 24 hours.
