Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

Product Information

We have compiled the best adjustable dumbbells in the UK and are showcasing them here in our handy buyers guide. The Bowflex dumbbells have an impressive maximum weight of 24kg and in total they replace the need for 15 different sets of weights with the lowest weight being 2kg. Generally they increase in 1 or 2 kg increments and the weight is selected using the simple to use dial on the side of each dumbbell. If you can’t justify the cost of the Bowflex ones, I would look at the ISOGYM ones as alternatives, as they’re much cheaper at the cost of no 24kg option. Our Winner: Best Adjustable Dumbbells

Key features – Main material: Chrome and plastic; Weight range: 2.3-22.7kg; Number of weight options: 16 We believe the greatest fault with these weights is the weight adjustment increments. They do not increase by a standard amount – for example, 5kg, 7.5kg, 10kg. Instead, you’ll notice 3kg to 3.5kg stages: 5kg, 8kg, 11kg, 14.5kg, 18kg, 21kg, 24kg, 27.5kg, 30.5kg, 33.5kg, 37kg, 40kg. 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 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.

You won’t be able to load these dumbbells up with a ton of weight – so once you progressively overload and start lifting heavier and heavier weights, these might become inadequate. Add the SelectTech dumbbell stand and adjustable workout bench to your range and you can transform any space in your home into a personal fitness centre! There is a maximum weight of 15kg per dumbbell so the same limitations apply here as to the Sports Tech models but if for any reason you prefer a plastic moulded finish rather than the iron and rubber protector of the Sports Tech then this is a good option.These dumbbells are one of the most aesthetically pleasing we have used and from the smooth edges of the plates to the well made handles providing an excellent and comfortable grip – these dumbbells are sure to have you firing on all cylinders during your home workouts. The weight starts off at 10lbs (4.5kg) which is a little heavier than many of the other dumbbells that start off at around 2.5kg but for most people this 10lb starting weight will be fine. From there, the weights go up in increments of 5lbs which is ideal for progressive overload purposes. An adjustable dumbbell is essentially any kind of dumbbell that allows you to change the weight. Whether it is worth purchasing an adjustable weight is likely going to come down to your personal preferences and the amount of space you have in your home gym. Enjoy the versatility of a free weights work station in the comfort of your own home with the Bowflex® SelectTech® super heavy dumbbells. With an adjustable weight range of 4-41kg, this single pair of dumbbells delivers the same results as 17 sets of weights – but without the clutter! As I’ve already touched upon, an adjustable dumbbell is a massivetime-saver. Instead of having to find the correct set of weights, walking around the gym floor, you can complete all of your exercises with the same dumbbells.
