The Kabata dumbbells were designed to be space-saving, compact, and functional for all spaces. Keep them in a bedroom, home gym, office - wherever you find yourself getting your workout in.
Bluetooth and internet connectivity are required to connect the dumbbells with the Kabata mobile app and stream workouts. However, you are able to still use the dumbbells on their own if connectivity isn’t available.
While basic functions such as manual weight adjustment do not require the Kabata app, the app is recommended for the best user experience. The Kabata app is available on both iOS and Android and comes with real-time feedback, guided coaching, advanced analytics, and workout content.
While anywhere you have an outlet is ideal to keep the dumbbells charged, Kabata does not need to be plugged in while in use.

Kabata is the only dumbbell in the world that counts your reps for you, tracks your workout metrics in real-time, and uses the data to coach and progress you.
Its unique features - including rep counting, automatic weight changing, haptic feedback, real-time analytics, form correction, and velocity-based training (VBT) - are unprecedented in the free weights category. Its sleek, minimalist aesthetic, which has won several design awards, also adds to its uniqueness.
The dumbbells are predominantly composed of steel and iron, which drives the weight of the product. These metal plates are then covered in a premium overmold, allowing the dumbbells to slide in and out of the base smoothly.
Kabata is produced in partnership with top manufacturers in Asia, who specialize in high-quality consumer products.

At Kabata, we value your satisfaction and strive to ensure that our products meet your expectations. If you have pre-ordered a Kabata set and wish to cancel your order, you are entitled to a full refund provided that you request this cancellation within 30 days of placing your pre-order. To initiate the cancellation and process your refund, please reach out to our Support Team within this 30-day period.
Note that this policy is applicable only if the cancellation request is made within 30 days of the pre-order date and before the shipment of the Kabata Dumbbells has commenced. Beyond this 30-day window or once the shipment process has started, we may not provide you a refund, and only the standard Post-Delivery Return Policy will apply. However, if you reach out to support@kabatafitness.com, we will consider in good faith any special circumstances that may exist.
Please see our Cancellations & Returns Policy for more information on order cancelations and post-delivery returns.
Your pre-order will be charged immediately upon completion of the order process.
Monthly and annual memberships will be charged following your 30-day free trial, unless you opt out before your trial ends. Your membership term will not begin until either your dumbbells have been activated or 7 days following delivery, whichever occurs first.
Your membership will automatically renew until cancelled.
A subscription, or membership, is required to use the Kabata mobile app alongside the dumbbells, with access to exclusive features, including data-driven coaching, engaging workout content, form correction, rep counting, automatic weight changing, and real-time analytics. The membership can be shared by up to five members within a household. If your membership is no longer active, the dumbbells can still be used on their own but without any of the advanced features, analytics, coaching or workout content.
Yes, sales tax is applied based on the state where your dumbbells are purchased, if applicable. However, if you're one of the first few orders in a given state, you may not have to pay any sales tax on your purchase - yet another reason to pre-order your Kabata sooner than later!
