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
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.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
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!
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!

I like that you use less space than tradition dumbbells and it is much quicker to change the amount of weight which is the obvious purpose for owning these. They are high quality and would absolutely recommend them. The only negative to them is you can quickly out grow them if you use them for chest and back exercises and they are i little bit bulky if you are doing flies or bench press type exercises where you would bring the dumbbells together. Perhaps if the weights were made of a heavier material you could make each plate a little smaller. I have never seen the heavier set so perhaps my issues have already been addressed with that. I am still very happy with mine and they are still useful for the smaller muscle workouts even if you cant benefit from them for chest exercises

I constantly switch from P90 P90 Plus, Chalean Extreme, Cathe Friedrich, Insanity.. you name it, I do it. I love this set. Wish I would have picked them up earlier.
Pros: Breeze to use, Infinite adjustment, Quick and Easy, Rugged Stand, Space efficient, Very sturdy
