Design could have been better, but better than nothin! July 6, 2010

The wii controllers must be placed inside 'tunnels' in the dumbbells. This creates three small issues, which aren't very bad but slightly annoying: a. the controller has a harder time communicating directly with the Wii because of said tunnel and the position you'd generally hold a dumbbell in isn't directly straight forward, so you miss points/hits/whatever. and b. by holding the dumbbell you're actually pressing buttons on the controller - the grip is removed so you've got direct palm to button pressure. and c. it's hard to disconnect the nunchuck from the controller which is required for several other games which dumbbells would make a better workout for, so I end up popping the controller out disconnecting. well, it takes up valuable time.

nice idea though and I'll continue to use them. the design could have been better.

Pretty useless June 5, 2010

Although I LOVE my Wii, these dumbbells are pretty useless. It takes so long to hook them up in the middle of your fitness program that you lose momentum. Also, the Wii has trouble reading the remote through the dumbbell. I tried using them for extra weight during boxing and the game wasn't registering my punches. I can't recommend this product.

Wrist Weights would be a better option March 9, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got these becasue I thought it would be a good way to step up my routine. The weight inside ( i think sand) was loose causing the weighting to not be steady. I returned them because of the weighting flaw and also due to the fact that wrist weights would do the same thing and not be as cumbersome as trying to insert and remove the controller.

I good idea but has some kinks to work out.

Can't Get to the Gym? February 16, 2010

I bought these for my daughter-in-law who has been faithfully going to the gym. Little did I know we'd have the biggest snowstorm since the 1950's and snow upon snow afterwards. My girl was ecstatic. She has used her stuff every day and not missed a step. Great investment.

Great product for a little extra weight to use with the Wii Fit. Good starter weights - I wish a heavier version would become available.
