Iron Grip Barbell Company Updates Its Iconic Urethane Dumbbell Line with an Innovative Product Line Extension and a Longer Warranty

Orange County, CA - October 17, 2024 - Iron Grip is expanding their premium Urethane dumbbell line to include their new, innovative ultra-heavy dumbbells under the Iron Grip MAX™ lineup. They have also expanded warranty coverage to seven (7) years on the entire Urethane line, encompassing dumbbells, fixed barbells and Olympic weight plates.

New Iron Grip MAX™ Dumbbells

Available in heavier sizes from 100 to 200 pounds, the MAX™ dumbbell has a wider 10-inch diameter head, resulting in a more compact form in ultra-heavy sizes. A wider diameter head (versus a longer head) centers the dumbbell mass around the handle to improve balance at higher weights. The innovative compact design allows for a greater range of motion (for example in pressing movements) and a more comfortable lifting experience overall. All MAX™ dumbbells feature Iron Grip's patented XL™ handle with an extra-thick 1 3/4″-inch diameter from end to end, to fully engage the muscles in the hand and aid in building grip strength. The handles also offer a premium stainless-steel finish for maximum durability.

The Iron Grip MAX™ dumbbell was conceived and designed to address the needs of elite athletic programs that frequently rely on heavier dumbbells. However, as more and more membership-based fitness centers are experiencing increased demand for strength training equipment (including in heavier sizes,) they are frequently planning and upgrading their free weight areas to include ultra-heavy dumbbells. The MAX™ dumbbell is a natural fit to meet the rising trend in strength training across a wide diversity of users. Iron Grip MAX™ dumbbells are proudly built in the U.S. for superior strength, safety, and durability. Heavy-duty press-fit and welded construction, beefy XL® Handles, and hardwearing American-made urethane combine to deliver the most durable heavy dumbbells yet.

Industry-Leading Warranty Extended to Seven Years

As a testament to Iron Grip's reputation for reliability and durability, all Iron Grip Urethane products, including Iron Grip MAX™ dumbbells, are now covered by an industry-leading seven (7) year warranty from the original date of purchase.

Iron Grip's urethane line had reliably carried a five-year warranty since its introduction; however after more than two decades of consistent customer satisfaction and nearly nonexistent claims, Iron Grip has officially expanded the warranty to better reflect the value and dependability of the line.

"Many of our longtime customers and their members, athletes, and soldiers are still using Iron Grip products after seven, 10, and even 20 years of intense use," said Michael Rojas, president and co-CEO. "Iron Grip customers are regularly using our free weights in some of the most intense and punishing conditions imaginable, including demanding NFL strength training workouts, rigorous US military fitness tests in remote outposts, and busy fitness centers that see hundreds of workouts a day. Our loyal customers are putting Iron Grip products to the test each and every day."

As the only manufacturer of a complete line of equipment made in the US, in their own factories, Iron Grip's best-in-class equipment will continue to offer a best-in-class warranty. Said Rojas, "Iron Grip urethane products have reliably outlasted and outperformed the competition for more than 30 years. Backed by the best warranty in the industry, we are confident our products will continue to deliver the durability and dependability Iron Grip has become known for until well into the future."
