Alexa can change the weight on NordicTrack's adjustable dumbbells
can be incredibly useful in a home gym, but the need to manually tweak weight can be a pain when you're trying to keep your heart rate up mid-workout. iFit's NordicTrack badge might have a solution: have Alexa do the work. The brand hasiSelect Adjustable Dumbbells that can use an Alexa-capable third-party device to quickly adjust the weight from 5lbs to 50lbs using a motorized selector.
The dumbbells are unsurprisingly meant to play nicely with iFit's $39 per month fitness subscription, but you don't need the membership. There's even a tablet holder on the weight tray to let you use your own screen and service. This might make sense if space is at a premium, or if you'd rather not hog the TV.. That's expensive compared to many conventional adjustable sets, but you might not mind if the speed of adjustments is more important than price.
