I bought these as I'm mostly doing zoom workouts with a trainer and not going to the gym due to Covid19. I am really glad I kept my smaller 5, 8, 10 and 12 lb weights because these large BowFlex weights are just too big and clunky for me. I am a petite, 5 foot tall woman and even if I just have these weights on 5 or 7.5 lbs, they are just too long and bulky to keep close to my body where I need them to be. If they weren't so heavy I'd send them back but I'm sure I can find someone to buy them from me.
Pros: Durable, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Hard To Set Up, Hard To Use, Heavy / Bulky, Not Effective, Uncomfortable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use cardio apps to workout in my living room. Going to the gym across town once or twice a week just to lift weight. This product basically turned me into a hermit and I love it.
We waited 6 months during the pandemic to get this and it was worth it. The best most versatile weights, you don't need anything else.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!
