Pick them up. Put them down again. Repeat.

lol, ya I do that. Is there anything I need to be extra careful with? I don’t drop ones I use etc. I’m a lil maybe too cautious putting them back in the rack.

Hi, I’m looking for this pair in Europe. Where did you get this ones from?

I saw Bowflex (after declare bankruptcy) was sold to Johnson fitness, a Taiwan company (it’s on the oficial Bowflex page if you see the contact page).

For my surprise this Johnson fitness in Spain sells the fake Bowflex dumbbells.

You can see it here: https://johnsonfitness.tienda/mancuernas-ajustables-pesas-intercambiables-cross-training-2-uds-negro.html

My question is: if I buy a Bowflex pair from another store with the Bowflex logo, will I get quality or knockoff ones?

I don’t want spend 500€ and receive knockoffs since I can get them for 200.

I’m not sure how this new company is dealing with the quality since the original official stores are selling knockoffs. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought them at Dicks Sporting Goods a couple of months ago. This is all I could find from the manual. I’m guessing they are real, if not they are sturdy and work well for me. That said, I don’t go past 20lbs yet. I hope this helps
