Coop, thanks for doing this interview with them. A lot of us are super hyped for this product. Loved the questions you asked. Also, you're a fellow nickel finish enjoyer 👍
Got mine pre-ordered the first day. Can’t wait to see these in my garage. Looking forward to your review Coop! Awesome colab A++++++++ to REP and Pepin.
$1,299 for a 10-125 lbs range worth of dumbbells is bananas. If you wanted a set that size in individuals it would cost like $7k+ and be a combined weight of a Honda Civic lol. I initially waited on pulling the trigger after watching one of your earlier videos where you mentioned "tieing up $1,300 for 6 months" as a downside (rightfully). However, 2 weeks ago just went full send and ordered anyways lol. These seem like pretty much the pinnacle of adjustable dumbbells right now. Shape, close construction tolerances, weight range, compact overall length, durability, and price... these things are going to be hard to beat for a very long time. It hard to imagine anything about their design that can be significantly improved upon. The only reason I stuck with my Bowflex adjustables for the past 7 years was because Rep x Pepin didnt happen yet lol. 2024 is a good year for the home gym community. Edit: Spelling

The price has already Jumped up to $999 as of September 19th 2024 from $799 when i watched this video a few months ago... like... so whats thr difference between these the the orgianl ones now that the price is almost the SAME as the original ones were 🤷.
This post is inaccurate. The cheapest version (85lbs) was never $799, it was $899, which can be seen in the video. The price has gone up $100 since then and is now $999. The original 85lb Pepin set was nearly 1700USD, and that's BEFORE having to pay exorbitant shipping costs. It's shitty they increased the price, but the Reppins are nowhere near the same price as the originals, you're saving at least $800.

Notice how the "Does Coop even lift?" comments stopped? Coop put in the work. Thanks for all the coverage of new products and reviews. You are changing the industry for the better.
i have to admit: i was one of those. and the funny thing is, i subscribed and have been watching coop EVER SINCE. he is THE go to for fitness equipment reviews. whether he lifts or not.
Nice video. The rep x pepin cross product is nice. Rep should put an add on 2x cushions to sell with these dumbbells for allowing the dumbbells to land softly. It will also extend lifetime and assure warranty, too.
And make them 1.25 pounds so that it can act as an “adder weight”. That way only 2.5’s are needed on the inside. Probably best if they were made by abmat.
Really cool dumbbells! I might have to get a pair. I had the 120ib Ironmaster set which is nigh indestructible (I doubt any other adjustable db comes close to their durability) but I hated how long it took to change weight.
Hope to see them some day. They just push their initial shipping by two month. That's really sad. They should have communicate while ago that the shipping would have been delayed not 2 day after the inital shipping date.. At least we know we can count on them for the quality. Hoppefully they will be able to make a rack by the time.
REP already started raising the price on this dumbbells and they haven’t even been released only available on pre-order. High demand equals greed. Snode might have to be my go to option. Very disappointing….
Each set went up $100 which is approx 11% increase. Contacted REP and got a vague response offering financing or a local pick up discount. They look nice but I can’t justify spending $1000.00 on a 85 lbs set with no stand
you made us wait 4 days!!!!!!!! before posting the reppins COOP😡. I swear i refreshed your page at least 1000 times to see if a new video came up🤣. I even started doubting the notification bell and wanted to make sure i didnt miss this.😂😂
Hey Coop, just found your channel and loving your honest and very detailed in depth reviews. Do you think the Repins are worth an ~C$600 premium over the Snode AD80's? Can get the Snodes for a touch over $1000 taxes in, free shipping from Maxum. The Repins are C$1242 + $200 shipping and tax putting them around $1650. I do love the look and features of the Repins, but do you think the extra features and lifetime warranty would be worth that premium? Appreciate any advice!
Coop amazes me . I'm about his size , height and weight but I have giants pythons as arms. I swear Coop is freaking strong! He can bench press and dumbells press more than I can. His confidence is such a major strength of his. I own the powerblock pros latest model and the IMs DBs. I'm thinking about selling my powerblocks for these peppins.
Was an interesting proposition coming in at 900 as it approached other options in terms of pricing but offered qualtiy within reach but I mean if they are going to keep raising the price its just going to be the same Pepin problem where it just gets priced out of the market again. Havent even shipped any and already raised the price 100USD.
Coop you grind like a tank man!! This trip has been an immense value added to look at. Huge thanks all you, Sam and all the fantastic team put on into making things happening.
Would love to know how well these work for things like two arm tricep extensions or pullovers. It seems like the bars on the side would get in the way, but not 100% sure.
Hey Coop, are you going to address Rep’s crazy additional 2 month delay on these? Rep should really compensate those who pre-ordered at the start. I’m thinking a free stand, free weight upgrade, or a decent discount like 20% off. Come on Rep, show you care about your loyal customers.
Yeah, I love my fixed and never thought I'd need anything else, but these are the first adjustables I've ever actually considered buying. I don't even need them, they'd just be nice to have, and that price point is going to be tough to beat.
Pepin seems like such a cool dude. Virtually the same product, just cheaper for mass market. What an absolute gigachad. I'll be getting a Reppin for sure.
Love my Ironmasters, they can go heavier. But if these had been out a few years ago I might have got them. Certainly much faster/easier to change weight and 120lbs is great.
This is wicked cool.. I flipped when I received the preorder. I've wanted a set of Pepins for a while now... REP has now sped up my timeline on when I was going to pull the trigger.
Wonder what you guys would recommend with these. Currently my bench dumbbell work out max is 55lb. Been training 2 years. Slowly progressing. Im 42, looking to keep weight lifting as a life goal towards health and function. Should I go for the 80's or pull the trigger on the 105's. 120's might be overkill for me looking to avoid injury. Thanks Guys!!
I would say go 105. middle range and you can always upgrade. if you build up some strength in bench or dumbbell row it's always good to have a little bit of extra weight. 125 is probably unnecessary at this point

@@REPfitnessLooks like I’ll be visiting my relatives in Germany soon! Can’t decide should I take my Wagon or should I get a large Van lol. Hopefully you won’t put "Euro TAX" on us like many other companies do who don’t even produce the product themselves…
Coop should I be worried that my rep-pepin dumbbells pre-order no longer shows up when i put my order number in there system? Rep still does not have a dumbbell standard listed yet.
I'm really excited for these! Idk how many times I visited the Pépin website and looked at these. I just couldn't pull the trigger at the original price. The first day they announced the collab, I put my order in!
Are those side rails annoying in anyway? I've always avoided the blocky adjustable dumbbells because of that...just wondering before I pull the trigger on this. I almost bought the REP set then this came out.
The only thing i would maybe see is if your doing wrist curls maybe they get in the way. Other than that these are the most minimalist adjustable dumbbells ever. I dont think you can make a adjustable dumbbell that goes this heavy, this durable any less minimalist. They feel 99% like a real dumbell which is perfect in my opinion
Ideally, cageless is the best. But, I do prefer this cage to Powerblocks. I don't find they get in the way most of them, except for a couple movements, but honestly, I've used the rails as handles for french press and it feels pretty good. - Coop
I'm going to wait a year. See how people like these, see if anyone tries to compete with them, then I'll pull the trigger. Just got the new Powerblock Pro 100 exp, happy with them, but I've had my eye on the Pepin fast series, just couldn't put out that kind of cash right now. I'd like to see Rogue come out with an adjustable dumbbell. It's not like they don't have the engineers or tools to do so. Jump in Rogue!!
Looks like with the full 120lbs you could see the weight plates moving around. Is this a prototype issue or are the plates not 100% secure with the pepin design? Maybe im being dramatic but these looked basically perfect until I saw that
You will have rattling with any fast adjustable dumbell. I was concerned as well but it is not a concern for the safety or the design but my brain autistic need for perfection.
I saw that too but honestly I have 130lb old school metal powerblocks and they rattle and shift around waaaay more than this. I got used to it though and it doesn’t really bother me now. I have the Pepins preordered and even if they’re like the ones in this video it will still be a big upgrade, even better if they can tighten up the tolerances on the production units.
These look like the adjustable dumbbells to beat now. 85lb to 125lb. Expandable between. All metal and durable. Fast. Solid price. Every other one on the market has a drawback. I’ve been looking forever. Either slow and good durability. Or fast and using plastics like nuobells that will break in time. Sign me up!
I've obviously seen the pepins before.... just always dismissed them as I'm not a fan of adjustable DBs.... and they came out of Canada... so... $$$$$ for me. Price was similar to a set of urethane dbs I got from Rep. But.... now that I'm actually reading into the pepins on their site. I'm actually floored. I always just assumed adjustable dumbells are laughably oversized to their fixed weight counterparts. These.... are pretty much the exact same size. At least on the heavier weights..... if not somehow a hair smaller. At the very least.... comparable. I jumped over to Rep's site and see they aren't offering them... well... shipping them until September. Which is both a bummer but a good thing. I'll get a few more months out of my urethane set.... and sell them - I'm getting these. Consider me impressed. It's always fun to sell and then get new equipment anyways. Will definitely free up my wall of dumbells...... more room for me to deck out my gym... err... "garage" in fettle fitness machines come this time next year. My garage gym is going to be *mwah*... perfect. Getting these will probably allow me to add another piece of equipment from fettle, haha. Or... just have more floor space.
Hey Coop. Thanks for all you do. Any idea if the Rep handle will be compatible with the original weights? I just picked up a used pair of the originals (they're amazing), but do love the idea of the 10lb start for certain exercises... it would be awesome if I could pickup a new handle and just use my old weights. But am guessing it's not that simple... but would be neat if they could mix and match (although I'm doubtful). Worst case, I suppose I could grab some 10 and 15lb dumbbells
AsSAMbly Sam lookin buff in this one jkjk Edit: Also, this coupled with Gluck's "Nuobells suck butt" really make me want to switch. Can't really have $1,200 tied up for like 6 months but will def sell the Nuos and buy the Pepins in like a year haha
Really want to preorder these but my power blocks haven’t let me down yet and I have a feelings that Rogue may have something in the works since they’ve been pretty quiet lately.
Did they feel any similar to a powerblock at all? Didn’t know if the bars on the outside have any affect on the feel. Looking at upgrading from my powerblocks to an adjustable that feels more like a traditional dumbbell. Between these, IM, and Snode
Wasn’t interested until they said lifetime warranty! 👀 I better not have any fucking problems if I drop them and they brake, and REP won’t replace them! Life time means till I’m dead! Soo if they honor that I will get these 💯
I ordered the 120 lb set... those babies are pretty long! I'm hoping the stand they're designing allows the dumbells to sit side-by-side lengthwise against the wall so they don't stick out three feet into my workout space. 🤞
Currently changing my bedroom into a GYM for myself! It’s going to be pretty difficult as a visually impaired person but I definitely want to find a way to add these and adjustable bench emoji thank you!
I'll wait for the final production unit to comment on that. But, I will say, at this point, I don't plan to replace the originals in my garage with the Répin's. But, we'll see when the final units land. My wife would enjoy the 10 lb start weight.) - Coop

I have the Pepins preordered and even if they’re like the ones in this video it will still be a big upgrade, even better if they can tighten up the tolerances on the production units.
Is Rep coming to Europe?
I want these and i already have Watsons .. 😅
These look like the adjustable dumbbells to beat now. 85lb to 125lb. Expandable between. All metal and durable. Fast. Solid price.
Every other one on the market has a drawback. I’ve been looking forever. Either slow and good durability. Or fast and using plastics like nuobells that will break in time. Sign me up!
I want that Quick Draw stand. When is available? Coop, can you try to know something about that from REP?
Pepin vs Reppin? Which is truly better please? How is the coating holding up on the Reppin? I’m looking for the best set, setting price aside
I've obviously seen the pepins before.... just always dismissed them as I'm not a fan of adjustable DBs.... and they came out of Canada... so... $$$$$ for me. Price was similar to a set of urethane dbs I got from Rep. But.... now that I'm actually reading into the pepins on their site. I'm actually floored. I always just assumed adjustable dumbells are laughably oversized to their fixed weight counterparts. These.... are pretty much the exact same size. At least on the heavier weights..... if not somehow a hair smaller. At the very least.... comparable. I jumped over to Rep's site and see they aren't offering them... well... shipping them until September. Which is both a bummer but a good thing. I'll get a few more months out of my urethane set.... and sell them - I'm getting these. Consider me impressed. It's always fun to sell and then get new equipment anyways. Will definitely free up my wall of dumbells...... more room for me to deck out my gym... err... "garage" in fettle fitness machines come this time next year. My garage gym is going to be *mwah*... perfect. Getting these will probably allow me to add another piece of equipment from fettle, haha. Or... just have more floor space.
Hey Coop. Thanks for all you do.
Any idea if the Rep handle will be compatible with the original weights?
I just picked up a used pair of the originals (they're amazing), but do love the idea of the 10lb start for certain exercises... it would be awesome if I could pickup a new handle and just use my old weights. But am guessing it's not that simple... but would be neat if they could mix and match (although I'm doubtful). Worst case, I suppose I could grab some 10 and 15lb dumbbells
For sure getting these. They don’t ship out until September of 2024.
AsSAMbly Sam lookin buff in this one jkjk
Edit: Also, this coupled with Gluck's "Nuobells suck butt" really make me want to switch. Can't really have $1,200 tied up for like 6 months but will def sell the Nuos and buy the Pepins in like a year haha
REPPIN !! TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE! Great questions Coop Way to do your homework as usual.
Stellar lift boyz
The problem for me is that grabbing the DB with both hands is not possible. For pullovers or two hands tricep press. Maybe I'm just to picky
Okay.. absolute banger of a video, and the dumbbells are sick! BUT, what I really must know is where Coop's shirt is from??
Really want to preorder these but my power blocks haven’t let me down yet and I have a feelings that Rogue may have something in the works since they’ve been pretty quiet lately.
Coop, what’s model/color are your Altras? Great lifting by the way. Next year you have get 3-5 reps 😎
Did they feel any similar to a powerblock at all? Didn’t know if the bars on the outside have any affect on the feel. Looking at upgrading from my powerblocks to an adjustable that feels more like a traditional dumbbell. Between these, IM, and Snode
Man, if you know any French and can pronounce a forward accented E, you know why they aren't calling these the Reppin' dumbbell.
Wasn’t interested until they said lifetime warranty! 👀 I better not have any fucking problems if I drop them and they brake, and REP won’t replace them! Life time means till I’m dead! Soo if they honor that I will get these 💯
Gotta know when that stand for the QuickDraw dumbbells are coming out. 🙏🏼got mine on the floor right now 🤦🏻♂️😂
Coop, can you review the landmine linebacker squad by titan ? Thanks
Hoping they sell the Rep quick draw adjustable dumbbells in pairs here in the Philippines
I ordered the 120 lb set... those babies are pretty long! I'm hoping the stand they're designing allows the dumbells to sit side-by-side lengthwise against the wall so they don't stick out three feet into my workout space. 🤞
Currently changing my bedroom into a GYM for myself! It’s going to be pretty difficult as a visually impaired person but I definitely want to find a way to add these and adjustable bench emoji thank you!
Coop if you had to pick between the originals or the news ones to keep forever which one would you pick alluminun vs steel
I'll wait for the final production unit to comment on that. But, I will say, at this point, I don't plan to replace the originals in my garage with the Répin's. But, we'll see when the final units land. My wife would enjoy the 10 lb start weight.) - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews you can’t tell the difference from aluminum handle vs steel handle ? The steel doesn’t feel more sturdy ?
For anyone doubting if COOP lifts. 120lb club boys!
