How To Choose a Dumbbell

In the case of dumbbells, size does matter. Make sure you pick a size and weight range that aligns with your current and future fitness goals. Depending on the kind of exercises you like to incorporate into your workout routine, you might require different dumbbell weights. In this case, you have a few options: You could pick up a few cheap dumbbell sets at varying weights, or you could score a deal on a set of adjustable dumbbells.

Fixed Dumbbells: These dumbbells come in a predetermined weight capacity (10 pounds, 15 pounds, etc.) and are typically what you’re used to seeing at your local gym. They’re durable, classic, and get the job done. Some fixed dumbbells even come with a rubber coating on both ends to protect your floors, which may be a worthwhile upgrade if you’re using these weights at home. Multiple sets of fixed dumbbells can take up a lot of room, so if you’re low on space, only order what you think you’ll need to accomplish your workout.

Adjustable Dumbbells: If you don’t have a ton of spare room for workout equipment, consider investing in adjustable dumbbells. These most often come with a set of metal weights you can attach to rods that allow you to customize your dumbbell workout routine — it’s simpler than it sounds. Spin-lock adjustable dumbbells are great for beginners and can grow with you as your strength increases, and your workouts get more intense. Adjustable dumbbells are compact, versatile, and can be hidden away in a closet or under the bed when not in use.

Generational fitness: A father’s story for passing health to his children
David and Shaya Charvet talk fitness and working together as father and son
Adult, Female, Person

Father's Day is a holiday that is sometimes overlooked, sometimes celebrated, and sometimes divisive. There are those of us who have great relationships with our fathers, there are some who have strained relationships with our fathers, and then there are many of us who are in between. I was lucky enough to have the perfect father, split between three different men. My biological father taught me how to fail. Mostly, he taught me what not to be as a father by failing hard and often. There are lessons there. My step-father was the provider and the disciplinarian, something I didn't openly acknowledge even to myself until later in life. And my grandfather was the hero, the man I always looked up to and wanted to be. All three were vital to my upbringing and teaching me how to be a man, and some people have them in one person. Shaya Charvet grew up with a father who was first a rising star in Hollywood, who then stepped away at the height of his career to be a present father. He decided to be all three of the men I listed, and then taught lessons through fitness. David Charvet and his son have launched BUILD, a new kind of gym with a focus on all the things you would want out of staying in shape, with the background of a father and son learning together.

My dad brought me to the gym from a very young age. They always told me if you can take care of your body and be disciplined there, you can be disciplined in all other parts of life. - Shaya Charvet, Co-Founder BUILD

Reinvent yourself in the summer of 2026 with advice from the man who makes it happen
James McMillian, President of Tone House, gives us a peek into the lifestyle we all crave.
City, Blazer, Clothing

Living in New York City offers a slew of opportunities to meet new people. As a matter of fact, even when you want to be alone, you're likely going to meet six or seven. There are new people everywhere. And more of them, like myself, show up every day. So I tend to relish meeting as many as possible. But when I met James McMillian, it was different. He is striking. Sure, he is handsome, built like a steam engine, and dresses like he just left the red carpet. But it is more than that with him. The room gravitated towards him. And, simultaneously, split for him as if he were parting the Red Sea. What is it about him? Confidence. Appearance. Aura. He struck me as a man who has it all. So, I wanted to find out how he did it. We spoke at length about his life, profession, discipline, and mindset. And, as the president of Tone House, a premier athletic training facility in New York City, he proved to have a lifestyle most of us crave. So, how did he do it?

Progress over perfection. Take your time. The small wins are the most important because longevity is key. Give yourself grace and become a life athlete. - James McMillian, Tone House President

Circle the door: Finding my zen at Banyon Tree Krabi Thailand for Men’s Mental Health Month
A wellness program dropped in the middle of paradise is impossible to beat
Land, Nature, Outdoors

We don't talk about men's mental health very often. We have all heard the same things over and over for the majority of our lives. "Man up," "I don't want to talk about it," "I'm fine," "I will figure it out." All of these are things you and I have definitely used or heard in our day-to-day lives that make it seem (to us) that we are strong, capable, and invulnerable. The problem with the quest for invulnerability is that it stigmatizes vulnerability as weakness. It doesn't start here, though; it starts with the daily stress we feel from work, life, and relationships. Never processing, just burying it. In a recent trip to Thailand, I landed in the new wellness program at Banyon Tree Krabi. Here, I learned something I will take with me forever: "Circle the door."

Before I get into what I brought home with me, let's talk about what I went in with. I am not a woo-woo kind of guy. I am the guy who has masked vulnerability with sarcasm, self-deprecation, and solitude for the majority of my life. Going into a situation where I was going to try to go face-to-face with my own emotional processes, I had to let go a little and go into it with some openness. So, without going into it with an open mind, there was no way I was going to come away with "Circle the door."
