It comes with high low and medium pulleys to allow you to work your body from a variety of angles. The maximum user weight of the X2SE is 300 pounds. Its footprint is 53 x 49 x 82 feet, which is relatively modest, making it a good fit for people with limited apartment space. The unit weighs in at 185 pounds, which is considerably less than most competing home gyms thanks to the power rods being very lightweight. This unit comes with an ab crunch shoulder harness and a squat bar. You are also able to purchase the following accessories: leg press, stirrup handle, ankle strap. The change between exercises is quick and easy on this machine. We were disappointed that it does not come with an instructional video that shows you how to use the device.

The power rod resistance level on the PR1000 maxes out at 210 pounds. It is one of the Bowflex Home Gym models in which you are not able to upgrade to a higher resistance level. That means that it is possible to outgrow this machine as your strength level increases. The resistances come in the standard 5, 10, 30 and 50-pound power rod increments.

The Bowflex PR1000 allows you to perform more than 30 exercises. You can do all of the standard weight exercises that you know from the gym, including the bench press, lat pulldowns, shoulder press, and bicep curls. You also get a rowing rail that adds a cardio aspect to your workout.

The PR1000 is compact and portable. It can be folded for ease of storage. Bowflex recommends taking out the power rods before folding the unit up, so you will also have to store these away somewhere. The dimensions of the PR1000 when setting it up for use are 84 x 38 x 81 inches. The minimum floor-space that is recommended is 103 x 80 x 82 inches. The shipping weight of the unit is 148 pounds.

Here’s everything that you get with the SelecTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbell set: Weight Range of 5-52.5 pounds per dumbbell; Adjustable in increments of 2.5 pounds for first 25 pounds; Adjustable in increments of 5 pounds after 25 pounds; 15 weight settings as follows: 5. 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25,30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 52.5 pounds; Bonus workout DVD included with purchase; 6-weeks Fitness Results Guarantee; 2-year warranty; Dimensions of 8 inches (W) x 9 inches (H) x 15.75 (L).

To keep challenging yourself at that point, you will have to upgrade to the SelecTech 1090. They go up to 90 pounds per dumbbell. Both of the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells make use of the SelecTech dial adjustment system. There is a dial at the end of each dumbbell, which allows you to select the weight you require easily. Do the same on the other end of the dumbbell and then lift the weight off the rack. This adjustment can be made in a matter of seconds.

The SelecTech dumbbells are both high-quality products that are made to Bowflex’s exacting standards. The base and stand are excellent, while the brackets and core are made from heavy-duty metal. The plates have a thick plastic coating that makes them very hard wearing. Bowflex adjustable dumbbells have maintained the rounded look of conventional dumbbells. It is in contrast to the much squarer Powerblock brand, which is the main competitor in the marketplace. It makes Bowflex an easier transition from traditional dumbbells than Powerblock. The major negative on both the 552 and 1090 is that they are longer than conventional dumbbells. At around 16 inches in length, it tends to get in your way when you are doing such exercises as seated dumbbell curls and side lateral raises. When you buy either the SelecTech 552 or 1090, you will get an immediate 6-week Fitness Results Guarantee. If you don’t like the way that they feel, you can return it in the first six weeks. Over and above that you get a 2-year warranty on parts and labor.
