Adjustable dumbbells are a great choice for building strength and muscle at home—especially useful if you're short on space. The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells top our guide as the best adjustable dumbbells and right now, at Dick's Sporting Goods, you can pick up a pair of the Bowflex for just $399 reduced from $429.99.

Our tester chose the Bowflex SelectTech 552 as his top choice, writing that "if you told me I could train with just one set of adjustable dumbbells for the next year, these are what I’d choose." This recommendation is backed up by thousands of reviews with an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

When we reviewed the Bowflex SelectTech 552, some of the highlights we noted were the great performance, reliability and ease of use. They come in 15 weight options and are easily adjustable from 5lb/2.3kg to 52.5lb/24kg.

The Bowflex are a superb and versatile piece of fitness kit and are suitable both for those who are new to strength training as well as enthusiasts —which takes up a fraction of the space when compared with 15 pairs of dumbbells.

While buying the pair is more convenient—you can curl with both arms at once rather than doing one side at a time—if you're on a budget you can purchase a single Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbell for just $199 reduced from $249, also at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Whether you buy a single dumbbell or a pair, you get a month's free access to the JRNY app featuring trainer-led workouts developed exclusively for the SelectTech dumbbells.
