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!

These things are very high quality and work great if you are limited in space. It is like having an entire set
of dumbbells. Switching between the weight amounts in quick and easy. I am using these along with the P90X program
and I have plenty of time to make the switch to different weights before the next exercise begins. I would highly
recommend these dumbbells to anyone else interested in a good dumbbell set who does not want to purchase an entire
set of individual dumbbells. The price is a little steep but I already feel it has been well worth it. Buy these
things and get to work. You will see results. Bring It!!

The Selectech 552 dumbbells are one of the best fitness inventions ever. You get a whole racks' worth of weights
in a 3 foot wide space. Changing the weights takes seconds. I am using this with P90X workouts and I have no
problem keeping up moving between exercises because changing is so easy. They are a little bulky if you are using a
small amount of weight, but how else can you put 52 pounds on one dumbbell unless you make it big enough! You get
used to that.
The stand is essential also. Very solid, easy to assemble.
