I use these weight for my virtual training sessions with my personal trainer. They are incredibly versatile and allow me to rapidly change weights when I switch from one exercise to another. They take up very little space and are perfect for folks working out at home.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Like many, the pandemic has pushed me from gyms to training at home. I live in an apartment. I have the kettlebell as well as these dumbbells. I don't have any cons really. Just be careful getting them on and off the base straight. I feel that's the one quick way to ruining these. Pros: Very compact. They replace a whole rack of dumbells and... Easy to use. The dials are nice and smooth so it's really easy to switch weight. Versatile. Multiple weights and you can offset each side. Also can hold just the plates. Just make sure they get back in the right slot. So far seems pretty tough. Just pay attention to getting them on and off. No setup. Just get it out of the box. The base is really easy to move, I'd suggest having most of the weight off though. Having these will really help diversify my training. Don't let the initial price stop you these are well worth the cost for how many different dumbbells you'd have to get. If you can get the heavier ones. I wish I did! Especially, if like me, you don't plan on using a gym again. #sweepstakes

Hello! We are happy to hear that after a much anticipated wait on your Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells, you were able to receive them and enjoy them. We wish you the best on your fitness goals! -Bowflex Team
I wanted a solution that was compact and economical for working out in between a busy life schedule. I am a single dad with 2 kids, so I needed to have a set of weights that could fit into our lives and not take up a whole room. These are a great set to keep me motivated, changing exercises is a breeze and makes me want to work out more. The only challenge was the length of time it took to receive them, I ordered on December 1st and they arrived the last week of March, and caused me to have to buy a few single dumbbells while I waited.

Ordered these as a birthday gift to myself back in December. Although with COVID they took a lot longer to get to me, it was worth the wait. My wife and I work out from home and use these daily. The ease in changing weight amounts really helps with quick moving HIIT routines.
