Bowflex SelectTech 52 at a glance

• 2 to 24 kg: 15 weight settings per dumbbell, from light exercises to solid sets.
• Dial: you select the weight with a turn, without changing plates or collars.
• Metal components: sturdily built for regular use in your home gym.
• Storage tray: keeps the weights organised and off the floor.
• Compact size: 44.3 x 21.1 x 20.7 cm per dumbbell, easy to store in a small space.

Lots of weight in little space

The SelectTech 52 has 15 settings: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23 and 24 kg. In the lower range you make small steps, ideal for shoulder and arm exercises where a couple of kilos makes a big difference. With the heavier settings you train squats, lunges and rows. You place the dumbbell in the storage tray, turn to the weight and lift it out.

Choose your option

You can choose a single dumbbell, a set of two dumbbells or a set of two dumbbells with the SelectTech dumbbell stand. The stand brings the dumbbells to working height and has a holder for your tablet or smartphone, so you can easily follow a workout.

Good to know

Due to manufacturing tolerances, the actual weight per setting may differ slightly from the stated value, according to Bowflex. With a maximum of 24 kg per dumbbell, the SelectTech 52 is mainly suited to beginners and intermediate users. If you want to train heavier, look at a SelectTech with a larger range.

Frequently asked questions about the Bowflex SelectTech 52

How many weights does the SelectTech 52 replace?

The SelectTech 52 replaces 15 sets of separate weights. You set a weight from 2 to 24 kg per dumbbell. That gives you the range of a dumbbell rack in one compact dumbbell. Handy for a home gym or a corner of the living room.

Who is the SelectTech 52 suitable for?

The SelectTech 52 is a good fit for beginners and people who do regular strength training at home. You start light at 2 kg and build up to 24 kg per dumbbell. If you already train with heavier weights, a model with a higher maximum makes more sense.

How do I set the weight?

You place the dumbbell in the storage tray and turn the dial to the weight you want. Then you lift the dumbbell out; the weights you are not using stay in the tray. That way you switch between exercises in a few seconds.

Should I buy one dumbbell or a set?

With one dumbbell you can train single-sided exercises such as rows and goblet squats. For exercises using both arms at once, such as a dumbbell press or bicep curls, choose a set of two. If you want to store the dumbbells neatly at working height, the set with stand is handy.
