After hitting a plateau at the gym, I decided to try P90X at home. Unfortunately, my free weight system was entirely too cumbersome to keep up with the P90X pace. When I researched how much it would cost me to purchase all of the free weights I needed, I was amazed how much it would cost and how much room it would take. I had seen the commercials for the Bowflex adjustable weights and decided to research them. I found lots of great feedback on [@] and other web sites. I also considered other brands, but nothing compared to the "user friendliness" of Bowflex. I even went to a local store to try about several types before I made my decision. I ordered the Bowflex and I am so happy with them. The stand was easy to assemble and looks great. The weights work just like the commercial shows and I can keep up with the pace of the P90X program. I would recommend the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells to anyone. They're GREAT!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Makes P90X so much easier, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
For all the workouts I have done (only had them a couple weeks) with the dumbbells, they have been great. Seem sturdy enough when out of the holding cell, but the only concern I have had is placing them in the stand...every once in a while one of the disks will slip into another slot.
One of the smartest fitness purchases I have ever made. The weights are easy to use, and because they are dumbbells, there are limitless exercises that can be done with them. The weights are perfect for anyone unless you need heavier weights, in which case I suggest going to the heavier set. I should have bought these when I was younger and saved the monthly gym fees.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Fast, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
This product is all that I believed it would be, and then some. Don't buy them without the stand, it's a huge benefit to be able to roll them around my small apartment. I've already started picking up my old gym rat routine a little bit, but mostly now I'm following a PT regime for a soldier injury. They're not as compact as you'd think, but considering what they replace I have no complaints. The only improvement I would suggest is to set the weights so that they could automatically match weight settings, i.e. Setting to 30 lbs will automatically switch the other dial as well. Otherwise, it's one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.
I love my new select techs, Saves so much space compared to old dumbbells that i had. Adjusting weight on the fly has never been easier. Even my younger kids use these on the lower settings and they love the feel of them. They also look a lot cooler than traditional dumbbells. No cons to give becouse these are flawless in every way that i use them. Great buy.
