Abstract

A dumbbell with revolving counterweight to keep upright a logo and weight-number includes a first side weight, a second side weight, a handle bar, a first spindle weighted assembly, and a second spindle weighted assembly. The first side weight and the second side weight are terminally connected to the handle bar as each side weight comprises a body, an outer surface, and a circular cavity. The circular cavity concentrically traverses into the body from the outer surface so that a rotatable body and a cover plate of the first and second spindle weighted assembly can be concentrically and rotatably mounted to the circular cavity by a shoulder bolt of the first and second spindle weighted assembly. A counter weight of the rotatable body maintains the upright orientation for the cover plate to outwardly display a logo section and a weight-number section that respectively displays the logo and the weight-number.
