Customer Reviews for BowFlex - SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells - Black

These dumbbells are excellent. Nice and compact and super simple to operate. The one thing I was curious about before I bought them was how difficult is it to change the weight. I wondered, does it require a lot of tension to adjust these things? The answer is an overwhelming no. The adjustment on these dumbbells is incredibly smooth considering the mechanics behind what must be happening to ensure the bar picks the correct weights up and doesn't let go. And of course above all, you can pick them up and put them down repeatedly to gain muscle. They work.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use my weights mostly for Beachbody on demand workouts. They are wonderful because I have a small house and they are great space savers, but still able to progress and advance my strength moving up weights as I get stronger. The only two things I don't love about them are: I have to pause my videos a lot because there is no way to do a quick drop down/pick up transition between weights since I have to dial the weights to change them, and for some exercises the weights are too long for me to have good form (i.e. bicep curls).
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Difficult to change weight in fast paced workout, Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm using them to strengthen and increase my lean muscle mass. I'm getting back into weight training and needed a dumbbell with multiple weight options. I reviewed several competitors products but decided on Bowflex. It was a good decision on my part.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens

Ordered this to expand my Bowflex routine. I already had the Bowflex Extreme 2, and got the Bowflex Max Trainer as a Christmas gift (early). Added the dumbbells, and I was not disappointed! Easy to set up and use! With the flexibility of changing weight (and the benefit of using limited space), this was a great choice. I've only had them a couple of weeks, so my opinion could later change if something happens (mechanically), but I really don't see that happening. They are sturdy, well designed and constructed, and I am very pleased! #sweepstakes

These were a little bulky for many moves where arms should be fairly close to your sides for proper form. Otherwise, they are great...so easy to use and easily stored. Glad I bought them.

Thank you for your review. If you haven't already, I suggest downloading the SelectTech App. We have videos of different exercises that work well with the shape of these dumbbells and might help you target those same muscle groups. Let us know if you have any questions! -Bowflex Team

My only regret was not purchasing the stand with them, keeping them on the floor can be straining and makes slotting them in slightly difficult (6'5")... especially at failure. The selectors are smooth and while there is slight rattle, it is soft (plastic shells), and easily ignored. #sweepstakes
