The ability to select weights on the fly and space saving for a smallish apartment is a game changer for me. I showed the set to a friend and she wants to buy one as well. I am slowly setting up a gym within my home and these weights are pivotal in that plan.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use. Compact, saves space from traditional individual weights. Works both for older (me) regular but more casual and younger (my son) more serious workout. Had to wait for these because of the demand created with the Covid, but well worth the wait.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love these things! A must have for home gym. Saves a ton a space. And both my husband and I can use them with the wide range of weight they have. Slightly bulky when working out but doesn't bother me much as I can easily accommodate, definitely worth it!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I knew it would be bulky. I kind of has to be. But, the convenience of having one set is worth it. You can't have everything

These are great. So much better than using resistance bands and so much more convenient than having individual dumbbells.

Great product, only thing I would like to see changed are the dials to select the weight. They could be cut down in size to take overall width away from the dumbbell.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Cons: Noisy
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's large, when I row, it keeps touching my body. But that's the only complain I have on the product. Weight adjustment is very easy. Overall, I am very happy with the product. The shipping time is extremely frustrating. I waited fo 4 months.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

Hey there - It's wonderful to hear that you are enjoying your 552 dumbbells! We love how easy it is to adjust the weight and get a great workout without searching for different weights. I'm sorry to hear that the dumbbells are slightly larger than you would like. We value your feedback and will pass it on to our development team! - Bowflex Team

I use the product to supplement home workouts when can't get to the gym. The bow flex 552 are nice because they are easy to use and don't take up a lot of space. They are easy to switch weights and they arrived well packaged. The only downside is the grips can be a little slick when hand is sweaty. The weights are a little long for some exercises so I know widening the grip would exacerbate that but a different stippling type grip would be better. Overall very pleased with the product. May need to get the barbell at some point in the future.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Grips
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there! It's awesome that you're happy with your Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells! For a better grip when you're working out, we suggest wearing weight lifting gloves. Let us know how that works for you, and keep on enjoying those workouts! - Bowflex Team
