Amazon Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to furnish your home gym, and every gym should at the very least carry free weights. A pair of dumbbells is all the equipment you need to get access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. Combine that with cardio exercises and you’re ready to go.
For Prime Day, Amazon is offering $100 off a pair of Bowflex’s newest Results Series SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells. They’re normally $429, but you can pick them up for just $328.99. The free shipping cannot be overstated, because the package is going to weigh over 100 pounds. There are a lot of adjustable dumbbell models on the market at various price points, but Bowflex is still the most recognizable brand that all others are compared to.
Save $100 Off the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells for Prime Day
Each Bowflex dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way up to 52.5 pounds with 15 total increments, so it’s essentially like 15 total weights in one package. The SelectTech dumbbells have been around for a long time. Many people, including myself, have used them for well over a decade with no problems. The structural components and moving parts are made of metal wrapped in plastic and rubber to protect against dings, deaden vibrations, and provide better grip. The “Results Series” is just an aesthetic redesign of the original Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells that happened after Johnson Health Tech took over all of Bowflex’s assets.
Free weights are a great choice for anyone who wants to work out at home but is limited on space. A pair of dumbbells is all the equipment you need to get access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. Supplement your free weight exercises with cardio and other workouts that use your own body weight as resistance (like pushups, burpees, or squats) and you may never need to purchase more equipment.

If you buy two of these, you’re paying $199.98, or over $100 less than the Bowflex.
