How expansive a range can an adjustable dumbbell set go? Of course, the wider the range, the more space can be saved in a home gym, garage gym, or the like. On April 3, 2024, the fitness world received the latest evolution of adjustable dumbbells.
REP Fitness and PÉPIN partnered to release the “FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell,” which ranges from 10 to a staggering 125 pounds. Check out the promo video below from REP’s YouTube channel:

The FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell sets are made of steel with “CNC-cut plates with a black powder coating,” according to REP Fitness’s website, the Colorado-based equipment company founded in 2012.
This new product is part of REP’s Inventor Series, a line of products they manufacture in partnership with various equipment inventors. “The goal is to simultaneously lift up other gym equipment inventors while making their amazing products more accessible to more people,” REP writes on their website. “It’s a win-win-win.”
Colorado-based REP Fitness was founded in 2012 by brothers Ryan and Shane McGrotty. They’re known for producing American-made, high-quality strength equipment, ranging from power racks to barbells, weight plates, and training benches. PÉPIN is based and Canada and is a small shop known only for their FAST series adjustable dumbbells. The fitness reviews site Garage Gym Reviews ranked the FAST dumbbells 4.5 out of 5 stars.
The design is purposefully compact without impacting the above-average weight range. REP also extensively dropped test the steel dumbbells to ensure durability, and the steel cradles ensure you won’t wear out your dumbell holsters over time. Each dumbbell is adjustable in 10-pound increments via magnetic pop-pins. Smaller increment plates weighing 2.5 pounds each are included.
