About this product
A single vintage 2-pound cast iron dumbbell by Healthways, designed for weight lifting. Made entirely of cast iron, this is a simple, old-school hand weight. Priced at $80.00.
Our take
I collect vintage fitness gear, so I had to grab this Healthways 2-pounder. It's a solid piece of cast iron with a nice aged finish. But $80 for a single 2-pound dumbbell? That's steep. Unless you're a collector after a specific brand, you can find similar vintage dumbbells for much less. Functionally, it's just a hunk of metal: no coating, no grip, just raw iron. It works fine for light exercises, but let's be honest, you're paying for the name and nostalgia. If you want a usable weight, go for something modern. For display, it's neat, but the price is hard to justify.
