Bowflex Selecttech Dumbbells And Treadclimber - Revolutionizing The Home Exercise Experience

Bowflex, America's leading home fitness equipment company, has helped millions of people reach their desired health and fitness goals. The revolutionary Bowflex line of home exercise products offers gym-quality workouts in your own home, helping you to lose weight, get in better shape or completely reshape your body.

In this article we’ll focus on the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbells and the Bowflex line of Treadclimbers -- two best-selling Bowlex products -- and for good reason.


The Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells exemplify one of the most innovative and versatile exercise equipment advances in recent years. You no longer need a group of dumbbells at various weights. The SelectTech series effectively replaces 17 sets of dumbbells using a patented dial system that allows you to quickly modify the weight in 2.5 lb, 5 lb or 10 lb increments, depending on the model. The whole system sits on one compact base that takes up about the space of one set of dumbbells.

Bowflex manufactures the SelectTech Dumbbells in three models – the SelectTech 220, SelectTech 552 (the most popular) and SelectTech 1090.

Available in four primary models, the Bowflex Treadclimber provides an option for every fitness level and budget. They include the TC1000, TC3000, TC5000, and TC6000. Owning a Bowflex TreadClimber effectively gives you a treadmill, elliptical trainer, and Stairmaster combined in one compact home exercise solution. The machine's unique combination of movements, utilizing two independently operating platforms, is efficient and produces excellent results.

The lowest priced model, the TC1000 features a 3.8 mph (6.1 kph) maximum treadmill speed, while the high end TC 6000 runs as fast as4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The TC3000 and TC5000 each top out at 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).

There are many other important differentiating factors among the individual Bowflex Treadclimber models. Beginning with the TC1000, all models include 3 elemental functions -- Speed, Distance and Time. The TC3000 also includes Calories per Minute, Total Calories and Total Steps. The TC5000 then adds two additional functions -- the Climb Indicator and the Heart Rate Monitor. Finally, the high end TC6000 includes all of the above plus additional training programs, including Cross Training, Intervals, Plateau, The Brooklyn Bridge and The Golden Gate Bridge. The Heart Rate Monitor on the TC5000 and TC 6000 allows you to easily keep track of optimal levels using a wireless chest strap and an integrated display.

We’ve focused on two popular Bowflex pieces of equipment designed for very specific types of exercise. The Bowflex influence is also evident in their line of complete home gyms. These include the Bowflex Revolution, Bowflex Ultimate, Bowflex Ultimate 2, Bowflex Xtreme SE, Bowflex Xtreme SE 2 and Bowflex Blaze.

Bowflex has become the most recognizable name in fitness. They continue to design and produce home equipment options that will keep you motivated and on the path to realizing your fitness goals.
