Excellent Dumbbell
I purchased my first set of Bowflex 552 dumbbells about 12 yrs ago and recently broke one of them by slamming the dumbbell down on its base too hard and damaged one of the clips that hold the plates in place. These are built exceptionally well and the design is very efficient and durable enough to last me 12 yrs. The adjustability is a fantastic feature that makes them very functional for a full range of exercises for everyone in my family. Adjustable from 5 to 52 lbs and the space saving design keeps my excercize equipment nice and consolidated.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells… are great!
Man, I was excited to try out these Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells! So letâs get down to it…
-These dumbbells were packaged well. They are encased in very thick styrofoam blocks which is inside of a very thick cardboard box. The dumbbells themselves have a plastic bag around them and they are fastened to the dumbbell base with a strap. Overall, very pleased with how they are shipped. Nothing was broken so A+ to Bowflex, Amazon, and UPS.
-Easy to operate right out of the box. Itâs all fairly self explanatory. There are two knobs, one on each end of the dumbbell. You turn the knobs to the desired weight setting and lift straight up on the dumbbell. Thatâs it. You donât need to try to figure out any weight plate combinations in your head. You just turn the knobs on each end to the desired weight. As an added bonus you can do an âoffsetâ dumbbell. You simply set one knob for a specific weight (20lbs for example) and set the opposite knob for a different weight (7.5lbs for example). Using the dumbbells in âoffsetâ mode can be beneficial in certain exercises. Bowflex goes into greater detail about âoffsetâ in the owners manual. This is not something you can do with traditional dumbbells.
-Operation is smooth. The knobs turn very easily and give a distinct/solid âclickâ when the knob is in the correct position. Lifting the dumbbells out of the base and putting them back in is easy.
-The handles are great! They have a grippy section that makes them feel very secure in your hands. And there is plenty of room to grab the handle. It doesnât feel cramped (I mention this because some of the pictures Iâve seen make it look like thereâs not a lot of room)
-The plates are the only area where I have a couple of very, very small complaints. First, they do shift slightly as you are using them during exercises. Iâve never felt like they were going to disengage from the handle but there is a slight movement of the weight plates during curls/presses/etc. Iâm used to using solid, old school dumbbells so the movement of the plates is just something I will need to get used to. The second small complaint is the overall width of the dumbbells. In order to accommodate all of the weight plates the dumbbells have to be wide. I understand that. And I HAVE NOT whacked myself in the head while using these BUT it feels like they get very close to my head on certain exercises (shoulder press, shoulder flies) and on other exercises (upright rows for example) they almost… almost… get in the way of themselves. Again, this is just a small complaint and wouldnât stop me from recommending them.
-The weight range is phenomenal. I mean, come on. To be able to have the equivalent of 30 dumbbells ranging from 5-52.5 lbs and be able to tuck them neatly away in the corner somewhere?? Yeah. Thatâs a HUGE advantage of these dumbbells, which leads me to…
-A GREAT VALUE! You are getting the equivalent of 30 dumbbells with this set. $350 divided by 30 dumbbells equals $11.67 per dumbbell. With dumbbell prices currently hovering somewhere near $2 per pound you would have to spend over $1500. Even if prices go back down to $1 per pound these are still an amazing bargain.
-Extra stuff… they come with a 2 year warranty (make sure you keep your proof of purchase), a really nice, well written owners manual that explains the previously mentioned âoffsettingâ and gives you instructions on several exercises to try. They come with a nice, solid base that has hand holds at each end so they are very easy to move. Theyâre made by Bowflex so you know youâre going to get a quality product AND quality support should you ever need it.
-Overall Iâm very happy with these dumbbells. Would highly recommend. Thanks for reading this review! I hope you found it helpful!
**Edit – I had a dumbbell âfreezeâ during my second workout. It wouldnât release from the base. Panicked a bit until I looked it up on YouTube and found out how to fix it. This has only happened once and Iâve removed/replaced them from the base multiple times during the two workouts in which Iâve used them. At this point Iâm still very pleased with them and my rating wonât change unless this freezing issue keeps recurring. Also, I added a photo of the dumbbell on a scale to show the accuracy of the weight.
Edit (9-8-2021): These continue to be my go to dumbbells after several months of use. Itâs just very convenient to twist a knob and have a weight range from 5-52.5 lbs. They are still a little tricky to remove from the base occasionally but itâs something Iâve gotten used to. No major problems at all. Iâve been using them 5 days a week for several months now and would still recommend them to anyone looking for a solid set of adjustable dumbbells.

Nicely built, well packaged, great function.
Quality. I’ve used tons of equipment over the years. Adjustable dumbbells of all sorts. These, to date, are the best I’ve used. They are also hands down the most expensive. You get what you pay for.
They are packaged up in such a way that nothing shakes loose or could get damaged (aside from personal injury lifting/dropping them).
They look nice, which I suppose isn’t something you would care much about initially–until you have a set of the PowerBlock dumbbells sitting in the corner of your workout space looking like some type of tie-dye experiment gone wrong. They look like they belong, and they look like some consideration was taken to ensure you wouldn’t say “They are nice, but they look like a my little pony’s nightmare.”
Joking aside these have a great feel. The plastic stands in the photo do come with the dumbbells, and make a nice place to set them since they hold the weights you aren’t using at the time. If you select, say, 35lbs the remaining weights from the dumbbell sit nicely in the base as you perform your exercise–then it all clicks right back into place when you set it down. Super handy, not clumsy, and easy to use. Speaking of the ease of use I should mention the grips. The grip of these is a nice semi-soft rubber material and it generally feels like an average sized dumbbell grip if not slightly larger. Having used the PowerBlocks (which I found to “work” but be pretty clumsy) I really appreciate the simple feel of these. I don’t like having to sacrifice the feel simply because it’s an adjustable dummbbell, and these don’t force you into that tradeoff.
The adjustments are simple: there is a rotary knob with weight labels on each end of each dummbell. Simply click the selector to the amount of weight you want, then lift the dummbell. So easy, a former meathead (myself) can do it!
If you’re looking for something that will get the job done, you can buy any weights. If you want something that makes you feel like you got what you paid for, but will also be a superior piece of equipment, get these. They cost more than the others, and the reasons why are extremely easy to see as soon as they are unboxed.

Compré el kit que incluye la base. Es muy práctico tomarlas de ahà y tienes toda la flexibilidad de cambiar el peso muy rápido según la rutina y parte de tu cuerpo que quieras trabajar. Tenia unas mancuernas que habÃa que estar cambiando el peso en cada ejercicio y era muy tardado y tener mancuernas de todos los pesos ocupa mucho espacio y tampoco es tan práctico. El cambio de peso es muy sencillo, se giran las dos perillas al mismo peso en cada mancuerna y listo se levanta de la base. Quieres otro peso? La regresas y cambias de nuevo el peso y listo. El material es muy buena calidad y su forma impide que anden desplazándose en el piso. El único pero y es relativo es que asà levantes 52lbs o 5lbs el tamaño (largo) de la mancuerna no cambia y puede ser muy aparatosa para pesa muy bajos, como ya levantando 35, no me afecta ese tema, si vas empezando tal vez si.

I have been using it since one month and it is working great. It has good locking mechanism but that makes me nervous too. It is very delicate locking system and it could be damaged easily if dropped or handled badly. This is best if you use it carefully for home workouts!! Hope they have warranty on this.

Like many people the past week, I have been scrambling to find home gym equipment. While I was hesitant about the price at first ($399 at the time), you will find that you would probably pay alot more buying the individual pairs which take up more space.
After a week of use, I am highly satisfied with the dumbells. Easy to use, comfortable and highly durable.
It takes a workout or 2 to get used to the feel. Certain workouts (any chest press or squat) require little adjustment with your positioning and wrist, but never is range of motion limited.
Obviously these are more delicate than your local gym weights so DO NOT DROP by any means necessary. However, if handled with care, the feel becomes natural and you don’t feel like your holding little machines.
I highly recommend these dumbells. Fantastic value, a space saver and a great investment during these times and even after this all passes.
Edit: 5 months of heavy use. These have held up real well. No issues to date. Like others have mentioned, the weight discs have a slight give. I only noticed this after a month or 2. Nothing to worry about in my opinion. As long as you’re not dropping these hard into the base or onto the floor, these should last a while.
Edit #2: 9 months in and these are still holding up. There is some aesthetic wear and tear that doesn’t affect function. The chrome paint on the handle is starting to chip. Other than that, these are still proving to be highly durable.
