We use the dumbbells for a program for weight loss/building muscle. When we need to change the amount of weight we use, it's easy to make the adjustment before beginning the next exercise. They have greatly increased the effectiveness of our workouts.
We canceled our gym member ship, leaving us 30 days, when we ordered the techselects. We Havent missed a beat since our bowflex techselects arrived. Great product easy to use! Could not be happier!
This is the most durable line of free weights I have owned. They are compact and easy to use. I am able to maximize my workout time due to the ease of turning the knobs on the sides of the Dumbbells to the desired weight. Quick, easy and well worth the purchase!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Love how easy the dumbbells are to use. Love how little storage room the dumbbells take up. I use the dumbbells to do curls, kick backs, flies, squats and presses and they work for all activities. Only down issue is I am a 5 foot woman and I purchased the smaller weighted set they are a little long because of the design. I have to adjust some movements because my arms are short and the length is longer then a standard dumbbell. I wish Bowflex made a ladies set that was less in weight because I will not use the upper weight on the dumbbells, also with less plates the length could be shorter. Overall I over the Bowflex dumbbells and look forward to year of use.
I work out every othe day to maintain. I love the compact and easy readily available weight set. I don't have to much time to go to the gym. This works out great!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
I would totally recommend these dumbells! They're really easy to use, and quite sexy looking. Plus, I will probably never have to buy a new set of dumbells again! The only thing I wish didn't happen is sometimes the weights get stuck, and this is also too bulky at times (I feel). However, I would not get any other set!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
I bought the Bowflex weights to begin getting into better shape. I like that I don't have to have so many different weights laying around to use and that I can just simply dial, lift, and use these. I have just had them a couple of weeks as of this review, so I can't give any feedback yet on the long term effects. Use the dvd to get the most out of the proper form to use during the workout. I would also recommend getting the workout bench to compliment your workouts.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
The ability to compact your dumbells into just 2 is excellent. The design is top notch. Price wasn't too bad. They are very wide and limit some workouts and make others harder. Shipping was horrible. Nearly 4 weeks.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional
Cons: Slow Shipping 3 Weeks, Very Wide Limits Workout
