I first looked into purchasing the SelectTech 552 dumbells when i started the P90X workouts and have been extremely satisfied since receiving them about a year ago. It is simple to adjust the dumbells to the desired weight in only a matter of seconds just by turning the dial. Also doesn't take up a lot of room.
I bought this as a gift for my husband, and decided to try it for myself. I absolutely love these weights. No more waiting at the gym or wondering around looking for the other dumbbells. I get a great work out and can target muscles well. The hand grip prevents my hands from getting callus formation. Easy to use, and nice to have everything in a small compact area.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, NO waiting at the gym, Targets Muscles
I use the dumbbells on a regular basis. I really like how I can switch the amount of weight on the dumbbells so my boyfriend can also use them. Currently I am starting out at 5 lbs and I am working my way up. I have already noticed a difference in my arm strength and core strength.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
I've been using them for p90x and they work great. Really easy to change the weights. They are really well made and feel durable. My wife even commented on how nice they were!
These dumbbells are exactly what you expect. A little bulky so you can't bring your hands together at times, but perfect for a home/garage gym when you don't want to put up racks along your whole wall. My husband and I both use them, him for weight training and me for toning. We're both pleased. He thinks maybe he'll outgrow them sooner than he would have liked, but we're not there yet.
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Exactly what you expected
Cons: A Littly Bulky, Limited Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best weights I have ever used

I use these weights as part of my workout program that includes running, boxing, core strength, and aerobics. I had used free weights in the past but never adjustable weights like this. It's so fast and easy to change the weight it makes working out so much easier. The are sturdy and very easy to adust. I've had them now for about four months and I would say this is one of the best fitness purchases I have made.
Saw the SelectTech dumbbells in a fitness magazine and asked my fiance for them. She got them and the stand and had it all put together for me on Christmas morning (so if she can do it you know you can do it). It's been the greatest gift, 1: because it's so versatile and 2: I can finally loose my gym membership. Being able to dial in to different weights on either end and then using the Swiss Ball really engages my core to have to stabilze the offset weight. Will definitely be getting the 5.1 Series Bench soon to complete my home gym.
Excellent tool to use with P90X, P90X Plus, P90X2 or any fitness program. Before purchasing the Bowflex Select dumbells, the time frame to complete the P90X daily scheduled workouts took alot longer due to having to change dumbell weights. Bowflex Select dumbells eleviates that problem and allows you to keep up with Tony without pausing. Great product!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional
