BowFlex Results Series 552 SelectTech Dumbbells ($430, originally $480)
Unless you're blessed with unlimited space and budget, when you're looking to stock your home gym, you have to be choosy about equipment. This dumbbell set offers a huge range of weights in one small package, and while it does clock in at a higher price point, it's still more affordable than buying the equivalent individual dumbbells.
Editor Quote: "These easy-to-use adjustable dumbbells, which are sold as a pair, shift from 5 to 52.5 lbs (per dumbbell!) and can replace 15 sets of weights. As I was building out my home gym I quickly began to notice how expensive individual dumbbells were as the weight increased. I discovered these adjustable weights a few years ago and have never regretted the investment . . . Whenever anyone asks me what's one essential home gym addition, I always recommend these weights first." — Christa Janine, former PS contributor
