Bowflex 2080 Review

In use:

Answering a few questions:

[roberthorn]

I have the same equipment. I received the unit a few weeks ago. I have issues that mimic yours, but all in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

[zorosuncle]

When I turn the thing to add different weights it never goes out far enough to get on more than 2 plates and it’s very annoying. Idk what to do

[NfiniteRage]

I have the adjustable dumbbells and the adjustable kettlebells and I'm thinking about buying this but already spent so much money. I think the adjustable dumbbells should be enough for me but again I'm not sure. I also have a treadmill and a rowing machine. This cost so much money.

Garage gym reviews just did a review on this. I think it's nice but for the price I would rather have a Olympic barbell and plates

[nfswift]

Thanks @MKDLMR for giving your opinion on the ST2080 system and additional plates, I just ordered mine today. I was getting worked up about the whole "recall issue" (single reported instance of property damage from plates sliding off the end).

Seeing your footage makes me think it was some user error or assembly error and that it's still a good, albeit expensive, system for a home gym.

I drive truck over the road and I purchased the select tech 552 dumbbells in January and didn’t get them until June!. But they’re really nice I like them it’s a great way to exercise in the truck in between runs. Thanks for the video I may be adding to these for my home gym

Great video. Does the base have to be changed with the addition of the extra plates or does it fit on the stand without adjusting where the plates sit?

[Somtric]

Could you show in a video, where you take it up, away from the stack.. then put it back, change to some what higher weight, up again... just to get an idea how it all functions. Because, as you say yourself.. for some reason, there isn't really any videos out there of this amazing product.

[masakik]

how do you like it after all this time?

[protectandserve]

Based on the shape of the weights, is there a wobble effect when doing curls?

[guillermomartin]

Do you think its worth it being that it only can max out at 120lbs? For bench pressing it would be useless right? I can bench more than 120 which is why I ask.

[nathanieljackson]

Is it 120 per side or 120 for total weight? How much does the bar weigh?

[rbntamez]

Are the plates the same weight or do they go up in increments? If in increments do they go up by 5lbs are how much

[lourdeflores]

Thank you for the review !! It really helps. I have a question I am thinking of getting this for my husband so much total weight if you upgrade is 240lbs ?

[kevincampos]

do u have any issues re-racking the weight? i dont have the stand but notice i have to readjust alot wen racking it to change weight or just set it in. Also once i seat it i have to slightly push down on it as well

[nnagol]

How did you get the barbell on the plates?

[lolololololololo]

How does it feel in motion? When you use it, do you feel the plates shake? This was my issue with the 552s

[alexm]

Thanks for this review. So do you recommend the stand? I don't think I'll use the ipad/media portion of the stand but I wonder if I should get it versus having everything on the floor. TIA.
