GREAT WITH P90X!! December 2, 2008
these dumbbells go with the P90X home fitness system. it allows you to quickly adjust weights without having 20 diffrent sets of weights. You can also see faster results because the weights gradually increase to a max of 52.5 allowing you to improve and build up stregth. it sucks amazon dont ship to APO but i was able to just send it to my friend and forward it to me. overall the postage was about 70 bux from cali to APO. if you want the best dumbbells system.....get this one!
Bowflex Dumbells November 30, 2008
These are great for those who don't have the space for separate dumbells. I keep them in my office at work. I would recommend the stand as well.

First Thing -- You cannot / must not / should not attempt to drop these.
If you want a dumbbell that you can work out until failure and drop (which I, personally, think is foolish) this product is not for you.
If you are performing workouts that are under control / smart these will work fine.
I like that they were cheap to ship from Amazon. I am a previous owner of the smaller SelectTech (the 2.5-20lbs ones) and I purchased the 552 because I needed heavier things to lift.
BEST DUMBELLS EVER!!!! November 5, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I was torn between these and the PowerBlock dumbells I kept reading about. I had a chance to check out the 2008 and prior model Bowflex Select Tech's at Dicks Sporting Goods, and I remember thinking about how easy it was to spin the dials to adjust the weights.
My only concern and hesitation was that a few reveiws mentioned the possibility of the weights rattling and people were worried they could fall off? I had not heard this before, so I researched it more and although the PowerBlock dumbells had gotten good reviews, I simply could not get past how ugly they were, and the fact that they used a magnetic pin to hold the weights in.
I decided to spend the few extra dollars on these 2009 model Select Techs (assuming any prior issues they may have had were corrected) and boy am I glad I did, they are AWESOME! The dials, in my opinion, are ten times easier than the magnetic pins of PowerBlocks, and these Bowflex dumbells look ten times more fashionable (our gym equipment is on our loft, so yes my wife and I have a style standard). These dumbells are about 15 inches long, but neither of us have any issues with their size (I think the PowerBlocks were only a 3 inch difference anyways).
We are 100% happier we bought these, and we bought the stand from Amazon to go with them also (it is better for your back if you lift dumbells from a standing position instead of from a squatting one). I hope you enjoy your SelectTechs as much as we enjoy ours!
