You can buy two Olympic dumbbells for about £50-60 and then about £1 per kg, so for £100/£110 you should be able to get a 50g set.

At the moment, Fitness Superstore are selling discs at 1kg at £1.29; however, it has been as low at £0.89. If you look at other websites online, you should be able to find something cheaper.

They are selling two Olympic dumbbells at £65 and collars for £6.


18" standard dumbbells will cost about £20 and about £2 for the collars.



If you only want about 25kg per dumbbell then a standard equipment would work out cheaper. However, if you want to expand on this in future, then Olympic equipment would be better.
