The Bowflex adjustable dumbbells are the equivalent of 15 sets of dumbbells with the gym footprint of just two. With 2.5-pound increments up to 25 pounds, followed by 5-pound increments up to 50 pounds, and then another 2.5 pounds for the max of 52.5 pounds, you're sure to get a great full-body workout whatever your strength level. The large selection of weights also means you can do high-repetition with the lower ones and then switch seamlessly to higher weights and lower reps for shoulder shrugs, bicep curls or even squats — all with the turn of a dial. And you don't have to worry about the annoying clanging; these Bowflex dumbbells are coated with a soft molding, that the company says will give you a smooth lift-off, solid grip and all-around comfort.
The JRNY app — which comes free for a year with the dumbbells purchase — will let you work out with real trainers across a variety of customized classes. To change the weight setting while sweating it out in class, you just turn the dial on the dumbbell and lock in the weight you want.
An Amazon reviewer raved about how the dumbbells are a big space-saver and that the mechanism for adjusting the weights is well-designed; even so, they said that when reinserting the dumbbells into the base, you need to be careful and make sure none of the plates stick together.
