Adjustable dumbbells are great because you don’t need to make room for a large set. Instead, you only need room for the two weights. That’s especially true of Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells. They sit inside a core case, and with the turn of a dial, you can select precisely the weight you want, from 5 pounds up to 52.5 pounds. They can be expensive, though, with a higher upfront cost since you’re basically buying an entire set of weights in one package unless you get one of the best adjustable dumbbell deals. Well, get excited because they’re discounted pretty heavily right now, thanks to Prime Day deals. Usually $549, they’re just $429 for the pair, saving you $120. That’s a great deal.

Why you should buy the Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbell pair

Prime Day runs from July 16 to July 17, so why would you purchase these dumbbells early here and now? While we don’t know for sure the price won’t be better, it’s likely this is the deal price that’s going to stick. We recommend shopping for them now if you’re interested because not only will this deal go away soon, but there’s no telling if and when it will sell out.

Outside of that, this pair of two dumbbells provides the equivalent of a complete set of weights. You can select between 5 and 52.5 pounds for each dumbbell without making a huge mess or dealing with a full set of dumbbells. They latch into the case, and you turn the dial to select your weight. That’s it. Plus, thanks to the broader range of weights, you can use them for various exercises, from squats, shrugs, and lunges to arm curls. That also makes it ideal for families with different workout needs. Everyone can use them and adjust to the weight levels they’re used to.

You might care about this, or you might not, but they also come with a free 2-month trial to JRNY All-Access, an adaptive fitness membership available digitally for a few products, including these dumbbells. Get personalized health and fitness advice, workout tips, and more.

These early Prime Day offers have dropped the price of the SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells by $120. Instead of paying the usual $549, you can grab them for $429. Remember, you’re technically saving even more because you don’t have to buy an entire set of dumbbells ranging from 5 pounds up to 50 pounds — you’re only buying the two modular and adjustable weights.

Let’s get this party started, this workout party.
