1. An adjustable dumbbell system, comprising:
- a handle assembly including a disc that is rotatable into a set of discrete rotational positions;
a plurality of weights selectively fixedly connectable to the handle assembly, each discrete rotational position of the set of discrete rotational positions of the disc corresponding to a different combination of the plurality of weights fixedly connected to the handle assembly;
a sensor configured to detect each discrete rotational position of the set of discrete rotational positions of the disc; and
a computing device in communication with the sensor and configured to determine which of the plurality of weights are fixedly connected to the handle assembly based on each discrete rotational position of the set of discrete rotational positions of the disc detected by the sensor, wherein the sensor is positioned on the handle assembly so as to remain in a fixed position during rotation of the disc.

Abstract
An adjustable dumbbell system may include a handle assembly, at least one weight, at least one sensor, and a computing device. The at least one weight may be selectively fixedly connectable to the handle assembly. The at least one sensor may be positioned on the handle assembly. The at least one sensor may be configured to detect a handle assembly attribute indicative of whether the at least one weight is fixedly connected to the handle assembly. The computing device may be in communication with the at least one sensor and may be configured to receive information regarding the handle assembly attribute from the at least one sensor.
