Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

Product Information

The appeal is in their simplicity and cheap price point. However, there is a reason they are cheap and here’s why: With dumbbells in short supply right now and with home workouts being enforced in the UK due to the ongoing Covid restrictions, this offering from Strongology promises to keep those gains coming even for the biggest lifters. There are few adjustable sets that can promise up to 40kg per dumbbell but that is exactly what you get with this offering from Strongology. The ISOGYM is a selectorised dumbbell that has a unique twisting handle that is used to select your preferred weight. The handle itself is really comfortable and has a textured rubber grip that is perfect for lifting heavy weights.

In the instance that you aren’t sure if you’re going to get into bodybuilding, you can always get this set as a cheap way of finding out if it’s a hobby. There’s no denying that automatic adjustable dumbbells are pretty expensive. When I first kitted my home gym out, I had to use fixed dumbbells. However, another thing that you could consider, are the traditional adjustable dumbbells. Adjustable dumbbells are well sought after, which keeps supply low & demand high. Perfect for selling! Are Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells worth it?

The selector pin dumbbell does what it says on the tin. Just like cable machines at your gym, you would grab the selector pin with this type of dumbbell and select your desired weight. Just like the dial system, the remaining weight is stored on the base station. Selectorised dumbbells are by far the most convenient and easy to use weights after fixed weight versions. They usually have some form of weight selector whether that be a pin selector, knob or turnable handle that allows you to select the weight you need.

The best adjustable dumbbells will provide you with access to the equivalent of 10+ weights that generally range from around 2kg per dumbbell to 20-25kg per dumbbell – some even go as high as 32.5kg! They might seem costly on the face of it, but when you consider how many weights they replace they soon start to look very affordable indeed. You will need to consider space with these dumbbells, as quite often you won’t have the bar fully loaded. This means that there will be weight plates which are lying around the floor, your movement space. These dumbbells are very comfortable to use, very well made and if you can get past the high price then they will provide a good long term investment. An added feature of the Sports Tech dumbbells is that they can be adjusted in to a single barbell to provide a 30kg weight resistance on a single bar. This is a pretty innovative feature and we can testify that it works well. The BoxBell 3-in-1 system is a new addition to our list and goes straight in to our top 7. It isn’t often something comes along in the home fitness market and truly offers an innovative solution that promises to revolutionise the industry – but that’s exactly what UK based BoxBell have done here.

The combination of high weight load, price, space-saving ability, excellent build quality, and happy customers means this set gets a Savvy Score of 9.7 out of 10. The Selecttech 552 is an adjustable dumbbell which can replace 15 sets of weights. In addition to saving you time, you’re also going to save floor space and some money alongside it! Selector pin dumbbells work in much the same way as dial a weight models but use a pin instead of dial to select the weight. The remaining weights are then usually left in the base.
