They’ve literally dropped the dumbbell.
On June 5, Bowflex announced the recall of nearly 4 million adjustable dumbbells, following reports of over 100 injuries. It’s not the first heavy hit the home exercise equipment company has taken. In March 2024, the brand filed for bankruptcy protection, citing dwindling sales and increased competition.
Fitness enthusiasts still have plenty of options when it comes to solid weights. Bowflex’s popular SelectTech 552 Set was originally priced around $400, but we’ve clocked a rock-solid, iron alternative that’s much lighter on the wallet. Right now, the Yaheetech Adjustable Dumbbells are just $32, and they’re available before Prime Day even kicks off (mark those calendars for July 8 through 11, by the way).
Yaheetech’s Adjustable Dumbbells feature two pairs of spinlock collars that can be adjusted from 4 to 44 pounds, safely accommodating a variety of exercises. The compact design is perfect for small spaces, too, so you don’t have to stumble around your apartment to get in a sweat session.
Here’s the deal: Bowflex may be on this bench, but this pre-Prime Day sale sure is standing strong.
Whether you’re looking to get your glutes, arms, or core toned, this set of sjuatable dumbbells will support sculpting and toning of all types. The sturdy, anti-scratch, wearproof iron construction is designed with anti-slip grips to produce good friction for a safe and smooth lifting experience. Thousands of customers have raved about the value and quality, mentioning that they’re ready to use right out of the box and are the ideal addition to their home gym set-ups.
