I recently had the pleasure to try the Bowflex dumbbells. Since I saw this, I thought they were the best thing in the history of fitness equipment. So I thought it was time to try them.
The product is very impressive. You get 15 sets of dumbbells from 5 pounds - 52.5 pounds (2.5 increments to 25 and then £ 5 to 50) in two pairs of dumbbells. The way in which the work is simply a dial tone again, the amount of weight you want on all four sides andaway you go!
Bowflex SelectTech professionals
-This set is the ultimate space saver. With only two pairs of dumbbells, you will not have to dedicate an entire room together with a weight. You can also take home or a place with friends for a workout.
-You look really cool! Especially with the state, which is sold separately for about $ 150.
They are for Bowflex-Nautilus, which is a respected fitness equipment.
-An interesting feature is thathave offset weight selection. You can do curls or extensions in the head with one side heavier than the others, for an extra challenge. They advertise this as a unique feature, but people have been loaded with this weight forever. However, there is still an advantage over fixed weights, and a transition much easier than changing discs.
-A lot of people say that they are expensive. They are not real and why I have this problem as a professional. A set of 15 good quality dumbbellswould cost $ 775. The Bowflex range from $ 400-500. And 'more or less convenient. The weight is also available, much cheaper than a certain weight dumbbell rack. This is a good value.
Disadvantages of Bowflex SelectTech
A maximum weight of 52.5 pounds can not be limited to a few people. You can use a larger amount of up to 90 pounds. And 'more expensive but at around $ 700-800.
-A common complaint about this product is that the disks that are not usedsometimes holding the handlebars. If it pulls off the base, a plate of weight, which is not used, it may fly out. This can really hurt floors or feet! This is actually the first time I tried them successfully. The best solution to this problem is to shake a little 'before takeoff. This has happened since my customers (who have the dumbbells) has found the trick tremble.
-You look a bit 'weak. The Bowflex SelectTech is also a warning not tofall. I do not think that many people throw their weight around at home anyway (even in the gym there is this strange phenomenon of weight to throw), but I am still a bit 'nervous break when they fall randomly from a bank.
-Most is about a factor of this product, what will happen if they break? Even one. The entire set is ruined. Bowflex offers a 5 year warranty. I personally do not think it's long enough! Imagine losing 15 sets of dumbbells all at once. Thewould be devastating!
Bottom Line
The Bowflex SelectTech is fun to use and it looks really REALLY cool! I think it's a great product to buy. Especially if you are trying to save space. The only thing that would actually stop me from buying these are the risk that they are not durable enough to last years and years. At least with free weights you know they are practically indestructible.
The cons listed have solutions, like buying the heavier set and basically being a little more cautious with them then a normal weight set. These are things that are not a terrible inconvenience. It just takes a little bit more consideration.
If you want to buy a weight set and get it done all at once, try out the Bowflex SelectTech. If you buy from Bowflex directly, they give you a six week trial period to test them out.
