    I have seen adjustable dumbbells throughout the years and always wanted them. I finally took the leap and I am very happy I did. They might be pricey but you would spend more money buying single free weights than you would with these. Also save a lot of space just buying these instead. I’m going to buy the base for them eventually too so they will be off the floor. My workouts have never been this easy. the delivery was great too. They came right up to my door brought them in and placed them where I needed them and it was a done deal. Unpacking was easy and I was working out with them 5 minutes later. So happy I finally own them. You won’t regret this purchase!

    Good value, not quite as convenient as I'd hoped

    Convenient if you don't want to store a bunch of different size dumbbells for home workouts. They are rather large, which can get in the way on some exercises, especially ones where you're bringing them together. Think standing chest fly or overhead extensions. You also can't change their weight rapidly, though that probably applies to most adjustable dumbbells. I'd like to store them "away" somewhere, but you need something sturdy enough to hold the full weight. Still, it's better than trying to store a dozen pairs of dumbbells for the same variety, and also cheaper. BE WARNED, they say you should not use them for pushups or renegade rows where you're putting weight on them on the ground.

    Been waiting for the right sale to buy these and I was in luck for a deal of the day! Bowflex has been around since I was a kid and it’s been my go to for equipment. The dials make it easy to switch up your sets before each workout. I paired mine with a bar that allows me to attach dumbbells on both sides. Total time saver for multiple workouts!

    I sold a collection of 10 individual dumbbell sets and relaced it with these BowFlex dumbbells. I now have 15 optional weight sets to choose from, which takes up 1/10 of the space. The dumbbells are solid in construction. I use extra caution when releasing them or setting then on the floor. I never drop them like my old dumbbells. I haved used them for 2-3 weeks now and have no issues with the locking mechanisms at all. I routinely use them for bench, curls, shoulder presses and lateral raises. I also bought the Bowflex stand, which I would highly recommend.

    I really like the dumbbells and the ability to select different weights. I would give it 5 stars except for the plate locking mechanism is plastic and has broken on both dumbbells. Warranty service has been outstanding and replacements were sent but these weights are not meant for heavy use. You need to be careful setting them down and adjusting the dials.

    These are nice. A little on the expensive side for what they are, but work well. Only complaint is that you have to dial the weight in on both sides. Ive seen others where its just one place and thats it. Again, not that hard to adjust both sides.

    Versus buying several different dumbbells. This saved us tons of space in our spare room. We really like the adjustable dumbbells. My husband and I can get a good work out at home when we can’t make it to the gym or just need a quick pump.

    Wish I ponied up the money for these earlier! Rather than buying several sets of dumbbells over time which is less expensive short term. They are so easy to use and take up less space than the equivalent number of individual dumbbells
