Nice idea, poor execution by Generic Consumer (madison,wi)  1 Stars
November 08, 2009
They tell you right away in the instruction video to be very careful not to drop these because they can break. They feel loose and the weights made me think they were going to fall off as soon as I took them out of the box. The weights are also very wide, which made it hard to do movements in the front of my body or to bring your hands closer together (closest you bring your hands together is about 1 foot - awkward).
I had been looking at these for about 6 months before I committed to buying them (because you can't try them locally). I'm glad I tried them, and now my experience can serve as a warning to others: I would have bought 2 - 10 lbs and 2-25 lbs wts instead. These cost $140 to return regardless of which carrier you use. They need to work on a lot of things to perfect them. It was worth it to me to spend the money to return them. Knowing how delicate they are, I'm sure they'd break within 6 months, and then where would you be?
Don't do it...heed the warnings!!!

Great Set of dumbells by sepu (San Francisco, USA)  5 Stars

Solid by J. Young (Duluth, MN USA)  4 Stars
November 02, 2009
Wanted something versatile without taking up a lot of space. So far I like what Bowflex has made. Quality construction. I have three gripes that I would like to see them improve on. 1) when you used anything 35+ they are quite bulky in terms of the space they take up. 2) they are touchy, be carefull because if you drop one, they are done. 3)rubber grips can get pretty darn slippery. I would prefer something with a rough surface. May need to swap in a supplement. Overall however, I would buy them again. Perfect if you are looking for a piece of free weight equipment that is easy to use and versatile.

Made for a workout by Worth B. Weller 5 Stars
October 28, 2009
I bought these on sale at Dick's sporting goods after reading about them on Amazon. The salesperson already owned a set and was completely satisfied. I am too. I could have spent thousands on a full set of weights, or over $500 a year at the gym. Instead I bought these and a nice bench for my home. I'm a long-time lifter and I know what i want out of a set of weights. These dumbbells provide exactly what I need for a hardcore workout in a package that can be easily placed out of the way when you're done. Great product.

Almost as good as the real thing by Howard Butler MD (Lantana, FL United States) 5 Stars
October 18, 2009
Having moved and redesigned my workout room, I was a little tight for space and had no room for all my equipment. I sold much of what I had including my individual dumbbells and stand.
I saw these Bowflex and thought it was a good idea. All I can say is awesome.
My only complaint is that they feel a little awkward compared to individual dumbbells even more so working out on a bench.
This a great product that I recommend highly. Get the stand as it makes it easier to lift when working out with higher levels.
