Started a regiment on January 1, 2015 to overcome the trifecta of death - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes Type 2 - As of June 2015, I no longer require any medication and have changed over from quarterly physicals to annual physicals. Using the Bowflex SelectTech 522 Dumbbells are an integral part of maintaining my health as I rapidly approach 60 years young.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Only thing I wish is that there was a way to just have to turn one dial on each dumbbell to change the weight...maybe do it on the base, rather than dumbbell itself. I say this because I sometimes watch workout videos where you need to change weights quickly, and its a pain to have to change a total of 4 dials. Its small, but something I know everyone would love
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
First Bowflex product I've purchased and after pulling it out of the box, I realized, it simply looked cheap. For the price one would expect it to look as expensive as the price. I noticed that the DVD does say "don't drop", so it's not like a set of weights where sometimes you drop them a short fall as your setting them down. With these, I'm afraid to do so. You break it, you don't get a replacement set.
Pros: Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles, WORKS GREAT
The selling points are clear and I am a fan. Had it not been for the dumbells already getting stuck and locked at a weight, after only my 3rd use, then it would have gotten a perfect reviews, however, that is a clear issue.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Gets locked at times (used less than 3x)
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so sorry to hear that, Erock! We can definitely help - there are a few things listed in your owner's manual that cover what to check in instances like this, including making sure the weights are straight in the base and there is no debris under them. If you have tried this already, I would recommend reaching out to our chat team on the site. They can help you get warranty support if needed. Thank you so much for your review! -Bowflex Team
