I’m not super buff- but 2 Lbs is a little wimpy. Almost not even worth it. I bought these to use with EA active because the resistence band wasn’t giving me a good work out. Another con is that they are difficult to remove and replace the controller and nunchuck. It makes it annoying when you have to switch activites i nEA active. Overall the concept is good- I just wish they were heavier and easier to remove and replace the controllers.

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

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.

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.

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.
