[Canadian Tire] Weider Adjustable Dumbbell 10-50lb - 179$ (Vancouver)

No discount, hot because it seems like it is actually in stock - at the time of writing seems like 96 available
Also price is not bad, bowflex 552 are not only sold out everywhere but are also 50$ more expensive.

Got myself a pair of these, and they are quite nice, be warned boxes are huge!

Ta OP. Tried to get these last week, now I just had success and bought the last pair I could see in Atlantic Canada. Hefty shipping but worth it.

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/weid ... p.html#srp

Is it just a price increase or different product?
mostly just the price increase..
159.99 version they had before the start of the pandemic and those sold out quickkk and were never restocked since march as I was tracking them
179.99 have red (vs blue) handles to adjust the weight tho, but otherwise are the same

not sure why this post is getting downvoted, other than fake bowflex from kijiji/craigslist I could not find cheaper adjustable dumbbells for the life of me.
Powerblock goes for 549.99 at fitness depot (for the set) vs 359 for 2 of these and apparently they are OOS and theres a waitlist, and genuine bowflex is easily more expensive and also mostly OOS

If anyone has any leads on a cheaper adjustable dumbbell 10-50lb that is actually in stock let me know and I'll go return my set lol?

Because some people can't purchase them at their local CT store (OOS).
Your screenshot shows stock in Vancouver. Which is great if you live in the area near the CT store.

I bought a pair a few months ago when they were in stock in the GTA. Very good dumbbells for working out at Home (IMO).

I've been using these for the past 6 months and they've been great. They're really sturdy and feel like a natural dumbbell. I've read a few reviews that the Bowflex ones feel strange due to their length at lower weights.

You can do the half weight trick to get increments of 5 - load 1 plate on 1 side and 2 plates on the other to get 15lbs. But I don't love it. It does feel unwieldy. Some people have suggested arm bands but I don't like those either.

Overall though, very solid. I'd still rather use these than take my chances on the strange knockoffs that are flooding the market.

I can see half weight working for some exercises like hammer curls, sumo squats and skull crushers but totally weird for most other exercises.
Yea, I read a few reviews about fake bowlflex dumbells not locking properly after short period of use, so was apprehensive about investing in them

I got these last time Grandview got a shipment and I love them. As to why they put them upstairs, I have no idea.

Lol the only difference between these and knockoffs is there a logo slapped on it other than that same stuff. It’s like how collectible bike shoes sell for $500 when you could get replicas for a fraction of the cost - same stuff

Grabbed a set and am very happy with them. Wife has 2.6 and 5lb wrist bands so can use those to I crease weight slightly. I am just trying to stay fit and retain strength not get noticeably bigger since in the age bracket where that ship sailed
How can I be broke when I am saving so much?

I got these a few months ago from Crappy Tire I really like them. The only thing I dont like it they only do 10 pound increments but other then that they have been great.

The Ikea LACK TV stand is a decent cheap stand ($16) for them.

A “fraction” being 20% off? (499 vs 399) Knockoffs should be a lot cheaper than 20% off

Genuine question here. What is the real advantage of this kind of set compared to an old style adjustable dumbbell set like this one from amazon?

Fair question. Answer is simple - convenience.

I've used one of those sets before. It's annoying to have to spin those weights on and off. You might say it's 5-10 seconds and sure.
But you're going to use a different weight for different exercises. You can probably bench more than you can curl. So you'll need to swap again.
Or you want to increase or decrease weights between sets. So you'll need to swap again.
And vice versa.

It's just annoying. I don't know about you but when I work out I want to focus on the workout as much as possible, and not all the little things. So for me, it's worth it.

How long have you had them for? How are they holding up?

I know the serious reviews trash the interlocking tiles, but I want to just take the chance with the tiles if I am using a set of adjustable dumbbells. It's not like I've got a power cage set up.

not at all, Bowflex knockoffs break and are an actual safety hazard, due to improper locking mechanism (not as precisely machined as real Bowflex)
