Bowflex Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bowflex home gym made for women or men?
The Bowflex home gym is great for all members of the family.
With a weight range that runs from 5 lbs up to 600 lbs (272 kg) of resistance (depending on model) and no heavy weights to lift, this machine is equally beneficial for both men and women.
What is the difference between SelectTech Dumbbells and other dumbbells?
SelectTech Dumbbells are a compact unit that replaces an entire set of dumbbells saving a tremendous amount of space in your home.
The locking mechanism sets it apart from other adjustable dumbbells by locking in properly positioned weight plates so they won't separate from the handle.
The sleek, smooth design enhances your workout area.
Does the weight of the dumbbell have to be equal on each side?
Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbells provides the unique option of offset weight selection.
Offset weight selection involves using a different weight setting on one side of the dumbbell relative to the other, assisting in supination and pronation of the wrist and forearm.
During offset weight selection, the combination of weight plates selected will not be the same on both sides of the dumbbell, so it must be returned to the base in the same orientation that it was removed.
Do I need to assembly the HVT?
Yes the HVT requires assembly. They do offer in-home assembly for a fee.
