You will need to consider space with these dumbbells, as quite often you won’t have the bar fully loaded. This means that there will be weight plates which are lying around the floor, your movement space. Easy dial dumbbells are ideal for fast paced workouts, where you’re working on your core home fitness. The adjustment mechanism on this works by you literally dialing in what weight you want. The weights will then attach itself to the bar, with the remaining weight remaining on the base station. It works just like a vending machine, and the technology behind it is really clever. There is a Bowflex app that can be used with the Selecttech range with over 30 exercises at your disposal. They can of course also be used without the app. There’s no denying that automatic adjustable dumbbells are pretty expensive. When I first kitted my home gym out, I had to use fixed dumbbells. However, another thing that you could consider, are the traditional adjustable dumbbells.The selector pin dumbbell does what it says on the tin. Just like cable machines at your gym, you would grab the selector pin with this type of dumbbell and select your desired weight. Just like the dial system, the remaining weight is stored on the base station. That being said, if money is no object then these are probably the out and out best adjustable dumbbells you can find.

Bowflex made their name in creating multi gyms with flexible bows instead of standard cable and pulley weights. Nowadays they make a full range of fitness equipment and have a top adjustable range known as Selecttech. The only real limitation of these dumbbells is that there is a maximum of 30kg of weight plates distributed between the two dumbbells which means a maximum of 15kg per dumbbell if using them at the same time. This weight is split between the two dumbbells so the 30kg set gives you 2 x 15kg dumbbells which for some people might be limiting – if that’s enough for you and you think you would benefit from a barbell too then this is an excellent option.The weights available with the ISOGYM are 2.3kg, 3.8kg, 4.2kg, 5.3kg, 5.8kg, 6.8kg, 7.2kg, 8.4kg, 8.8kg, 10.3kg, 12.5kg, 14.5kg, 15.5kg, 17.5kg, 18.5kg and 20kg which means it has 16 different weights to choose from in total. They aren’t cheap, but they offer enormous value. If you’re building your home gym, I would ensure these are top of your wishlist. Bowflex offer nothing but quality in their range of exercise equipment. They aren’t a household name due to the niche of equipment that they offer, but they are a well established company & have been providing gym equipment since 1986!
