Amazon's Black Friday sale was filled with incredible deals on fitness equipment, but the most shocking came from Bowflex. The brand's adjustable dumbbells, arguably the most popular model ever, were listed on sale after a long stretch without any discount, dropping the price to below the $400 mark for the first time in over a year. The good news is that if you missed the sale, it's not too late to score a pair for the Black Friday pricing.
Bowflex’s SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells are now on sale for only $379, an extremely rare 31% off their usual asking price of $549. A pioneer of the selectable and adjustable dumbbell craze, these bad boys have earned well over 20,000 five-star ratings, have been purchased over 10,000 times in the past 30 days, and are among Amazon's top 5 bestsellers in the best exercise and fitness dumbbells category. If you've been wanting a pair, now is the time to do it, because these will either shoot back up to full price soon or sell out entirely because of the low price.
The OGs in the adjustable dumbbell space, the SelectTech can revolutionize your home gym thanks to their innovative build. These weights are as durable as they come: Its alloy steel construction provides the ultimate stability and strength while the ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) helps to soften the dumbbells from damaging floors if dropped. A soft rubber grip provides the ideal non-slip touch to let you lift confidently. And, with the turn of a dial, you can change up each dumbbell's weight from 5 to 52.5 pounds in 2.5-pound increments, essentially giving you 15 dumbbells in one compact package.
“Worth its weight in gold—they’re fantastic,” one shopper raved. “Above all, what I like most about these is the amount of space they take up...or the lack thereof. They’re about as versatile as you can get without taking up more room than a standard chair in a corner.”

“Bowflex is flexing its guns," another shopper joked. "With a name like Bowflex, you know you are getting a good set of dumbells, and they are indeed.” They also loved their overall quality. “They are a slight premium up from other brands but there's something about Bowflex's ease of use, quality, and durability that just can't be replicated. Love them.”
If you have an at-home gym or you're just looking to work on your upper body in your living room, the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells are the gold standard, and at a price like this, you’ll want to grab a pair before it, or the 'bells themselves, disappear.
