For Those Who Like Classic Weights

I'm not a power lifter by any means, but like many, I prefer lifting traditional weights - and I became a big fan of dumbbells when I saw a full body dumbell workout on a fitness show back in the mid 90s. And while I could use heavier weight for maybe 2-3 exercises, the 552s suit my needs very well - especially if I implement the 4 step rep. But these bells are sturdy, easy to set the weight, and really do reduce workout time because changing weight is so fast and simple. Have not had any problems with them so far. A great investment!
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Strengthens
The weights are well made and of obvious quality. They fit together solidly and there is no shaking or rattling of the weights no matter what poundage is selected. Incredibly convenient to have such a variety of weight housed within such a small footprint. Highly recommended.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
The only complaint I have is that the grip is too small and wish it was longer. The thickness is fine but for someone with big hands, the grip is very uncomfortable. Not properly thought out or designed. I would recommend but with a few caveats.
I'm loving these - less money spent in the long run rather than replacing weights and allows me to advance seamlessly rather than waiting to buy a new set. The 2.5 increments helps me upgrade upper body easier. They do feel a little rickety and not the weight is too spread out BUT still amazing. #sweepstakes
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I am involved in a weight training program guided by a trainer/coach. The bow flex allows me to work out at home, utilizing the different weights, while saving space in my small apartment.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Nice set of adjustable weights. As a female these weights are a little bulky however once you get used to them they are well worth the investment.
Pros: Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

This set is great for daily lite workouts in front of the tv. I use the weights for muscle toning and body slimming. The set is compact and easy to hide out of sight. Two dumb-bells replace the space usually taken by 20.
Pros: Accurate Weight, Compact, Easy To Use, Good Grip
