David Johnson, the founder of Dumbbell Club® has spent a lifetime as a dedicated fitness professional and he wanted to highlight the importance that dumbbells have had on the fitness industry. Dumbbell Club® focuses on the use of dumbbells in any workout. Before there were motorized treadmills, elliptical machines, weight machines, or exercise bikes, there was the dumbbell. The versatile dumbbells come in different weights, and in all shapes and sizes, making them a workout tool for everyone, from beginners, to the very best bodybuilding and fitness pros.
It’s Smart to be Fit™ using Dumbbells.
