Pretty sure all the stores are closed right now and you need to curb side pick up.

Nothing in Alberta except 82 in Cochrane strangely...

I think the Weider 5-in-1 at Canadian Tire is the better option than the 552s. Cheaper at $179.99, and designed more like an actual dumbbell. I have them and they work very well.

Almost the same price on Kijiji now in Calgary.

No stock in Victoria/Vancouver.

But only 10lbs increments?

Reviews state that the quality of these are relatively poor, but the big downside is increment of 10lbs, that is a huge gap between weights. Bowflex does 2.5lb increments, but imho a gap of over 5lbs is too much.

Build quality is no problem at all. There are also plenty of complaints of the 552s build quality with the plastic gear assembly discs breaking and selector issues.

Easy enough work around for 5lb increments. Once you shift your hand a tiny bit, you don't even notice since it's only 5lbs.

I made a short video a little while ago, and I'm not being overly careful with them.



If I had to make the purchase again, I'd still get the Weider. But I also am not a person who would ever have a need for 2.5lb increments. 5lbs yeah occasionally, but 10lb increments generally. I guess my brain just prefers even numbers!

Oh Cool. Good to hear from someone with first hand experience with them.

Yeah, I quite like them. True, they don't have the finer 2.5lb weight increments, but modifying for 5lbs isn't an issue if you need to. The convenience and usability of a more traditional dumbbell design was really the main selling factor for me. Other than price of course.

I also own these and have zero complaints.

For the money, you can't beat them. I think I was right around $400 all in for the pair.

That is true
Haven't been out much since Covid ... Forgot they aren't open
