It provides a wide selection of weights with a straightforward selection method. It is solidly built with a robust mechanism that will give many years of problem-free performance. You won't be disappointed! The Bowflex name and reputation speak for itself.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseI’ve had these dumbbells for a month now, and I absolutely love them! They’re super versatile and easy to adjust, which makes switching up my workouts a breeze. The quality feels solid, and they’re comfortable to use. Overall, they’ve been a great addition to my home gym! Highly recommend if you're looking for space-saving, adjustable dumbbells.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseMan, I was excited to try out these Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells! So let’s get down to it...
-These dumbbells were packaged well. They are encased in very thick styrofoam blocks which is inside of a very thick cardboard box. The dumbbells themselves have a plastic bag around them and they are fastened to the dumbbell base with a strap. Overall, very pleased with how they are shipped. Nothing was broken so A+ to Bowflex, Amazon, and UPS.
-Easy to operate right out of the box. It’s all fairly self explanatory. There are two knobs, one on each end of the dumbbell. You turn the knobs to the desired weight setting and lift straight up on the dumbbell. That’s it. You don’t need to try to figure out any weight plate combinations in your head. You just turn the knobs on each end to the desired weight. As an added bonus you can do an “offset” dumbbell. You simply set one knob for a specific weight (20lbs for example) and set the opposite knob for a different weight (7.5lbs for example). Using the dumbbells in “offset” mode can be beneficial in certain exercises. Bowflex goes into greater detail about “offset” in the owners manual. This is not something you can do with traditional dumbbells.
-Operation is smooth. The knobs turn very easily and give a distinct/solid “click” when the knob is in the correct position. Lifting the dumbbells out of the base and putting them back in is easy.
-The handles are great! They have a grippy section that makes them feel very secure in your hands. And there is plenty of room to grab the handle. It doesn’t feel cramped (I mention this because some of the pictures I’ve seen make it look like there’s not a lot of room)
-The plates are the only area where I have a couple of very, very small complaints. First, they do shift slightly as you are using them during exercises. I’ve never felt like they were going to disengage from the handle but there is a slight movement of the weight plates during curls/presses/etc. I’m used to using solid, old school dumbbells so the movement of the plates is just something I will need to get used to. The second small complaint is the overall width of the dumbbells. In order to accommodate all of the weight plates the dumbbells have to be wide. I understand that. And I HAVE NOT whacked myself in the head while using these BUT it feels like they get very close to my head on certain exercises (shoulder press, shoulder flies) and on other exercises (upright rows for example) they almost... almost... get in the way of themselves. Again, this is just a small complaint and wouldn’t stop me from recommending them.
-The weight range is phenomenal. I mean, come on. To be able to have the equivalent of 30 dumbbells ranging from 5-52.5 lbs and be able to tuck them neatly away in the corner somewhere?? Yeah. That’s a HUGE advantage of these dumbbells, which leads me to...
-A GREAT VALUE! You are getting the equivalent of 30 dumbbells with this set. $350 divided by 30 dumbbells equals $11.67 per dumbbell. With dumbbell prices currently hovering somewhere near $2 per pound you would have to spend over $1500. Even if prices go back down to $1 per pound these are still an amazing bargain.
-Extra stuff... they come with a 2 year warranty (make sure you keep your proof of purchase), a really nice, well written owners manual that explains the previously mentioned “offsetting” and gives you instructions on several exercises to try. They come with a nice, solid base that has hand holds at each end so they are very easy to move. They’re made by Bowflex so you know you’re going to get a quality product AND quality support should you ever need it.
-Overall I’m very happy with these dumbbells. Would highly recommend. Thanks for reading this review! I hope you found it helpful!
**Edit - I had a dumbbell “freeze” during my second workout. It wouldn’t release from the base. Panicked a bit until I looked it up on YouTube and found out how to fix it. This has only happened once and I’ve removed/replaced them from the base multiple times during the two workouts in which I’ve used them. At this point I’m still very pleased with them and my rating won’t change unless this freezing issue keeps recurring. Also, I added a photo of the dumbbell on a scale to show the accuracy of the weight.
Edit (9-8-2021): These continue to be my go to dumbbells after several months of use. It’s just very convenient to twist a knob and have a weight range from 5-52.5 lbs. They are still a little tricky to remove from the base occasionally but it’s something I’ve gotten used to. No major problems at all. I’ve been using them 5 days a week for several months now and would still recommend them to anyone looking for a solid set of adjustable dumbbells.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchasePros
The product is easy to use and understand. The weights are well balanced. The grip is comfortable. The adjustable knob is extremely smooth and feels well designed. I really like ability to adjust the sides to different weights, it allows for more exercise variations than possible with traditional dumbbells. The wide range of weights available allow me to use this product for all types of muscle building. The total volume of this product is small, making it ideal for storing in small areas. I've had noticable gains within the first month of this product!
Cons
The only thing I don't like about the product is that they are always big, even when they are light. The 5 lbs setting is just as long of a dumbbell as the the 52.5 lbs setting. So, while a large dumbbell being 52.5 lbs isn't really a problem, sometimes it is problematic to have a 5 lbs dumbbell taking up so much space. It could limit your ability to maneuver the dumbbells during certain exercises.
Price
I would say it was priced exactly what it is worth. Although, considering the costs of going to the gym, or the cost of buying individual dumbbells for each weight, the cost of this product is actually pretty low.

Miguel MéndezReviewed in Mexico on January 17, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Mejor de lo que esperaba! Muy fáciles de utilizar!
Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseCompré el kit que incluye la base. Es muy práctico tomarlas de ahí y tienes toda la flexibilidad de cambiar el peso muy rápido según la rutina y parte de tu cuerpo que quieras trabajar. Tenia unas mancuernas que había que estar cambiando el peso en cada ejercicio y era muy tardado y tener mancuernas de todos los pesos ocupa mucho espacio y tampoco es tan práctico. El cambio de peso es muy sencillo, se giran las dos perillas al mismo peso en cada mancuerna y listo se levanta de la base. Quieres otro peso? La regresas y cambias de nuevo el peso y listo. El material es muy buena calidad y su forma impide que anden desplazándose en el piso. El único pero y es relativo es que así levantes 52lbs o 5lbs el tamaño (largo) de la mancuerna no cambia y puede ser muy aparatosa para pesa muy bajos, como ya levantando 35, no me afecta ese tema, si vas empezando tal vez si.

Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseLas mancuernas están muy bien, y a pesar de que intentamos quedarnoslas, no pudimos, pero el vendedor no puso una sola pega en la devolución y aunque tuvimos algunos problemas con el envío, el vendedor siempre fue de cara aportando soluciones. Los problemas pueden surgir en cualquier sitio, lo que marca la diferencia es como los gestionas. Aunque las mancuernas van muy bien, estas 5 estrellas no van por ellas sino por la gestión y el trato recibido durante todo el proceso que también es importante, sobretodo cuando surge algún problema.

Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseDie Lieferung der Hanteln erfolgt in einem stabilen, gut gesicherten Karton. Der Zusammenbau der Hanteln ist einfach. Die Beschreibung ist sehr präzise und Schritt-für-Schritt aufgebaut; auch die deutsche Übersetzung ist hervorragend.
Die Scheiben liegen sicher in der Halterung, das heißt kein Klappern, kein Herausrutschen. Die Bauweise ist sehr kompakt und elegant, die Scheiben sind ein echter Handschmeichler. Das Konzept Viele-Hanteln-in-Einer spart erheblich an Platz, besonders wenn man keinen eigenen Fitnessraum hat.
Das Gewicht lässt sich mühelos verstellen. Gerade für App-geführten Trainingsprogramme, zum Beispiel Muscle-Booster (ebenfalls hervorragend), bei denen für unterschiedliche Übungen unterschiedliche Gewichte erforderliche werden, sind die Bowflex-Hanteln sehr gut geeignet. Auch bei Überkopf- und Schwungübungen sind die Hanteln sicher.
Wer konsequent trainiert, der sollte sich diese Hanteln anschaffen. Er und auch sie können sicher sein, ein Premiumprodukt zu erhalten, welches sich vor allen Dingen langfristig bezahlt macht.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme value, highly durable and easy to use.
Pattern Name: BowFlex ST 552 Dumbbell (pair)Verified PurchaseLike many people the past week, I have been scrambling to find home gym equipment. While I was hesitant about the price at first ($399 at the time), you will find that you would probably pay alot more buying the individual pairs which take up more space.
After a week of use, I am highly satisfied with the dumbells. Easy to use, comfortable and highly durable.
It takes a workout or 2 to get used to the feel. Certain workouts (any chest press or squat) require little adjustment with your positioning and wrist, but never is range of motion limited.
Obviously these are more delicate than your local gym weights so DO NOT DROP by any means necessary. However, if handled with care, the feel becomes natural and you don't feel like your holding little machines.
I highly recommend these dumbells. Fantastic value, a space saver and a great investment during these times and even after this all passes.
Edit: 5 months of heavy use. These have held up real well. No issues to date. Like others have mentioned, the weight discs have a slight give. I only noticed this after a month or 2. Nothing to worry about in my opinion. As long as you're not dropping these hard into the base or onto the floor, these should last a while.
Edit #2: 9 months in and these are still holding up. There is some aesthetic wear and tear that doesn't affect function. The chrome paint on the handle is starting to chip. Other than that, these are still proving to be highly durable.
