Customer Reviews for BowFlex - SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells - Black

I use these for P90X and various other in-home Beachbody workouts. Before the 552's, I used resistance bands which worked ok, but with the addition of these I gained a LOT more muscle! What a difference! I don't write a lot of reviews but these are too good not to review.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm a P90X fanatic and these are perfect for quickly moving between exercises and weights. Too light? Too heavy? Not a problem! The SelectTechs are quick change artists. The only real issue I have is how quickly I built strength - I've already outgrown these and need to upgrade to the 1090s!
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Targets Muscles
Cons: A little long

I use this product for P90x and it is fantastic. Allows for quick weight changes between exercises so I can continue without wasting time switch plates or looking for the right weight dumbbell. For sure it saves on space.
Pros: Easy To Use, Eliminates an entire set, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Cons: Could be more compact
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like that the weights are compact and that they only take a small area of space yet contain all of the weights that I need for my various workouts. The only complaint that I have is that the select dial that changes the weights sometimes gets jammed and it takes awhile to get it unstuck. The adjustment is made of a hard plastic instead of heavy metal which I think would make it more effective.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Targets Muscles
Cons: Limited Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Saves space, period! Very comfortable to work out with. It is takes some extra time to change weights between exercisers, but not a big deal...

I use these for my at home workouts when I am unable to hit the gym. Excellent for use with the P90x program. The design is better than other brands I have tried. The mechanism works smoothly every time, a quality product worth the price.

Love these dumbbells. The only problem I've had is that sometimes it's tough to get them off the stand after switching back from a heavy weight. Have to work them around a little to get them back to normal. I can't imagine working out at home without them. Have done P90X 4 times with them. Lost 35 lbs and now have 6% bodyfat. Purchase was a no brainer for me. Would've paid more for a gym membership and I'm in the best shape of my life (I was a college athlete too). Golf swing has increased 6 mph with my driver!
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Multifunctional

This is the best set of dumbbells I've ever owned. I am using the Chalean Extreme workout series and these are perfect for challenging myself to go heavier with each workout. It's so fast to increase or decrease weight and the 2.5 increments are just right. I recommend also purchasing the stand. They take up about a two foot by 2 foot area. I did lot of research before asking my husband to purchase for my birthday. We looked at the PowerBlocks and other adustable weights. The Bowflex were a little pricier, but the reviews were better and I am so happy with my purchase. I highly recommend them!
