I debated for a long time whether this was worth the investment. After the purchase and use for the first week, I can say I made the right decision. The ability to have 1 set of dumbbells which act as 15 sets is very convenient. Add the Bowflex adjustable bench and do a search for DumbBell Workouts and you can replace half your time in the gym which can be a task to get to after working a long day. I find it best to use for full Arms and Shoulder workouts since the amount of exercises are endless. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a home gym alternative but wouldnt recommend that this replace your gym membership.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been waiting for these weights to go down in price enough to buy them. I have been working out, on and off, for the last 30 years. I have owned a Bowflex machine for 15 years. I got them after Christmas for a great deal. I didn't buy the stand because of limited space and built my own shelf to hold them. The flat support the weights come in fit nicely on my shelf. I am so happy i got them and they work just like the gym weights that take up 10x more space!!
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional

I bought these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them! They are very easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of room. They are a little bulky for me, but I am still able to use them, I just have to alter my arm workouts to fit the weights. My husband raves about them and would like to get another set so we don't have to share. Love these weights!!!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

I use my Bowflex dumbells almost everyday as I am going through the P90X workout. Having had gone through P90X both without the dumbells and now with them, it is a world of difference and make the workouts easier to get through and more challenging. Being able to change weights so quickly has been invaluable. Love it, love it, love it! Easy to use, takes up small space, on wheels so I can move it easily across my wood floors (I also got the stand which has been invaluable...GET THE STAND!)...no complaints! Very happy!
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Multifunctional

Use it thrice a week; has a lot of good things going for it; the only design change I would have made is to lock the weight selectors at both ends; so if at one end 15 pounds is selected on the other end the dial sets to 15 pounds as well
Pros: Compact, Multifunctional
Cons: Difficult To Use

I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THESE SELECTTECH DUMBBELLS. THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY AND A WELL ENGINEERED PRODUCT. WHEN YOU SELECT A WEIGHT AND REMOVE THE DUMBBELL FROM ITS HOLDER YOU HAVE NO WORRIES ABOUT THE WEIGHT BEING SECURE ON THE DUMBBELL OR IT SHIFTING AROUND AS YOU WORKOUT. THE PLATES ARE FIRMLY LOCKED TO THE DUMBBELL AND DO NOT RATTLE AROUND. EVERYTHING FEELS SOLID AND PRECISE. NOW THAT I HAVE HAD THEM FOR A FEW MONTHS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM AND AM GLAD I PURCHASED THEM. IM 36 YEARS OLD AND HAVE WORKED OUT IN GYMS SINCE I WAS A TEEN. IVE HAD TWO SURGERIES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS THOUGH AND IM MORE ABOUT STAYING IN SHAPE AND "FIT" NOW THAN JUST PUTTING ON TONS OF MUSCLE AS I DID WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I USUALLY CAN GET MY WORKOUT IN NOW IN LESS TIME THAN IT WOULD TAKE ME TO DRIVE TO THE GYM AND BACK. AND BECAUSE OF THAT I TEND TO WORKOUT MORE NOW THAT I HAVE THESE AT HOME. I ALSO PURCHASED THE 3.1 SELECTTECH BENCH AND THE DUMBBELL STAND..SO YOU DONT HAVE TO BEND OVER TO THE FLOOR TO PICKUP YOUR DUMBBELLS. WITH THE BENCH, WHICH IS ALSO VERY WELL MADE, YOU CAN ADJUST BETWEEN FLAT, 45 DEGREES AND VERTICAL MODE DEPENDING ON THE EXERCISE YOU ARE DOING. ONE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS THAT THE "4-STEP-REP" DVD THEY INCLUDE IS VERY GOOD. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT PROPER FORM AND WORKING OUT WITH A WEIGHT THAT YOU CAN CONTROL...FOCUSING ON THE MUSCLE/MUSCLES YOU ARE WORKING. THE TRAINER IN THE DVD GETS THAT AND SHOWS HOW TO DO EVERY DUMBBELL EXERCISE IMAGINABLE SAFELY AND WITH PROPER FORM.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles

Bought these as a gift for my husband who was looking to add free weights to his workout. He loves them and because they start as low as 5 pounds I have started using them as well. A great product!

Although I have read many negative comments about these weights... I like them very much so far. I am careful when replacing them on the rack. I hope to get many years of use from them. Highly recommend them.
