Introduction

Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells represent a revolutionary new kind of strength trainer. While cardio machines have been “smart” for years, strength equipment is rarely connected with the web. These selectorized dumbbells can wirelessly track weight, count reps and count sets, plus they work with a video coaching app that helps ensure great form.

Workouts

Bowflex SelectTech 560 Dumbbells can support more than 30 strength exercises for the upper body and core. A free app with video guidance and six weeks of daily workouts is available for customers using Apple iOS 9.0 or greater, and most Android devices with version 5.0 or greater. Strength coaching is provided for everyone from novices to advanced athletes.

Bowflex SelectTech 560 Features

Bowflex SelectTech 560 Dumbbells have 16 weight settings ranging from five to 60 pounds. This helps ensure that people at varied fitness levels can choose light resistance for toning or heavier resistance to build bulk. The settings on Bowflex 560 Dumbbells are: 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 pounds. For even more challenge try the SelectTech 1090 set instead.

Bluetooth technology helps ensure that you’re using proper form for strength training. It also tracks the weight used and can count reps and sets. Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells can export data to a wireless app for easy tracking.
Compatible equipment including a Bowflex bench and an advanced rack with media shelf are sold separately. The stand isn’t necessary but it can make it easier to correctly position your body for weightlifting.

Warranty & Guarantee

Bowflex SelectTech 560 Dumbbells have the following warranty coverage:
– Mechanical parts: 2 years

Conclusion

Bowflex SelectTech 560 Dumbbells can help almost any trainee develop strength and tone. While taking up very little space this equipment can eliminate the need for strength training at a paid gym, and the comprehensive video coaching helps replace a personal trainer. We’d like to see a longer warranty on the cutting-edge electronics, but overall these innovative weights are highly recommended for home gyms. Similar Bowflex models with different maximum weight settings are the SelectTech 552 and SelectTech 1090 Dumbbells.
