Hi, does anyone have a set of Bowflex SelecTech dumbbells they are looking to sell, or know anyplace where I can get one? The Bowflex shop in Bangsar Shopping Centre has closed and I tried to enquire from the distributor without success.
I've seen a similar set in one of the fitness stores in Mid Valley but it's not quite the same as Bowflex.
Please reply or PM me. Thanks!
Davin

Wow.. almost a grand for a dumbbell !!! & thts for one single dumbbell or a pair of dumbbells ? Won't it be cheaper to get normal dumbbells & add weight plates later ? I know it replaces like 7-8 dumbbells, but how often do U use 8 dumbbells in a single workout ? Just my opinion. If U have the money then just go for it la. Dumbbells are still just dumbbells...

That's true in the sense that the functions are the same. But some people don't have the space to store all those weight plates, and there's also the slight hassle of dismantling the weights, and changing the weight plates whenever you wanna increase/decrease the weight. But RM1000 for a dumbbell is just absurd in my opinion. Haha.

Haha. well, in defense, its SLIGHTLY more expensive compared to the normal db's according to the pricing given at the webbie, RM550 for 2 db's weighing 32.5kg's each. having those 2 db's + bench enough for the basic home gym so i think its quite worth it. plus, it really looks nice haha. Hmm i might consider getting it! hope can cod though, if by delivery its gonna cost a bomb This post has been edited by mikehuan: Oct 13 2010, 08:50 PM

But I prefer having all the weight plates lying around, gives a real sense of a "complete" home gym. Well, that's just me. Haha!

When back home, read the user guide, there is a step by step guide to test the proper functioning of the patented locking mechanism, and I tested mine, everything in order and functioning well.... I would advice those who interested to buy, shd check and test the proper functioning of the locking mechanism on the spot by following the guide. Btw, it comes with the Bowflex exercise guide DVD + the P90X program CD. This post has been edited by maxximus: Dec 12 2010, 05:54 PM

I bought the SelecTech 552 model, weight range from 5lbs (2.27kg) to 52.5lbs (23.9kg) in 15 selection steps. Yes, I like it very much, as it is easier for me to change the weight just by turning the adjustment knob. This post has been edited by maxximus: Jan 25 2011, 02:13 PM

QUOTE(gicanktrl @ Mar 25 2012, 12:57 PM) Anyone selling this product yet? Don't buy it. For the price, you can get a gym membership. The Bowflex's weight measurements are way off past the 20lb mark, you can't drop it, and there are a lot of reported cases of the plates falling off after a few months of use. tl;dr it's a piece of shit, don't buy it. If someone brings in the Powerblock, however, those are worth considering for a home gym

I got myself a pair of 1090 bowflex dumbbell knockoff for around Rm1100.Tbh,I been using it for 3 month and it break 2-3 times,minor break and now I am more experience using it I think it is quite good…but if got space better buy real solid dumbbell. Would rate the dumbbell 8/10,as it goes up to 39kg one side which is more then enough for a newb like me ☺️☺️
