My husband owned the Bowflex adjustable weights when we got married and we used them off and on over the past 17 years. Then gyms shutdown and they became a staple in my at home Crossfit workouts. One day, I was working out in the parking lot of my condo building with them, and went for a warmup run (which I had done many times) and came back to the weights gone. I was devastated because I knew I should have locked them up before I ran. And it was June, 2020, so nothing in stock. But Bowflex as a company was great when we contacted them. We got on a wait list and as soon as any were in stock, we were notified. We were told it would likely be three months before them arrived. It was 6 weeks. And just in time for a second shutdown of gym classes in our state. I love the amount of varied weight we can use while storing only one set of dumbbells. While the group for things like single arm snatches is a bit awkward, they are useable and get the job done for solid strength workouts.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Strengthens
compact and always ready to be used. I like how they offer a range of different weights setting and do not have to buy additional weights when you graduate to higher lbs.

First impression: I was ecstatic when this arrived having waited months. The dumbbells were very sleek and just as they pictured. I use them for regular bicep training. The way the weights distribute makes it hard to do any tricep training. I love this set. It's easy to set up, switch the weights and there's a nice rubber grip for comfort. -1 star because they're great and I love them don't get me wrong. But I'm scared to drop them and they feel like they have a plastic like coating so it feels like it'll scratch easily. I feel like I have to be very gently with them.
My ONLY complaint would be how big and bulky these are. (Granted I'm very petite at 5'1" and weighing about as much as these two weights together) They can be clumsy to maneuver for someone smaller but I don't mind at all. These were worth every penny! Very easy to dial between weights and it's nice to have so many variations!

First off, I want to say that these are a great set of dumbbells. They feel very high quality and sturdy. They are also very quiet. These dumbbells are a game changer for anyone like me that is now doing all of their weight training at home due to Covid-19. Just the amount of variation alone that these added to my workout routine us worth the price.
