What We Liked About the Bowflex SelectTech 552
Our favorite part of the Bowflex 552’s was undoubtedly the ease with which you can change from one weight to the next. If you had to stop and put the weights down to check and correct the weights every time you used them it would make the SelectTech dumbbells pointless, and luckily, they don’t have that problem.
With a quick flick and turn of the dial, you can move through the weights with ease, making supersets or tri-sets easier than ever and truly helping you to move faster through your workout, saving you space and time, when you’re working out.
