Home gym for those with little space
Convenience. Don’t have to deal with lack of space or clutter. Clean set up. Purchased with stand and additional weights.

I’ll Sum It Up
Ill sum it up as the best piece of equipment Ive ever bought for my home gym. It’s easy to put together and works exactly as described…I also bought the stand to go with it. I was on the fence about buying it because of some of the negative reviews about putting it together. I just dont understand how anyone had any difficulty putting this together? Its actually embarrassing that you had trouble with 22 or so bolts. Lego sets are harder than this.

Bowflex Selecttech 2080 set and 40lb upgrade has major problems
I have to preface this review with what I purchased, as the description seems to keep changing, leaving a flood of good reviews for other items. I bought the Selecttech 2080 set with curl bar, straight bar and the 40lb upgrade set. There were problems with it explained below, and I called Bowflex support for assistance with the problems. I imagine Bowflex records customer service calls, so they can verify all of the following. I called them at 6:48 PM EDT on 8/8/2023 and spoke to a rep who said some discouraging things to me about this product and Bowflex’s quality. The Bowflex rep was honest and helpful, and I appreciate his honesty. Unfortunately, what he was honest about was that Bowflex’s parent company Nautilus did not have good quality control, and in some weird way he associated it with the planet being overpopulated. Anyhow, after I assembled and ensured everything was adjusted properly based on the owner’s manual, I set the weight settings to 120lbs on both sides (using the curl bar), lifted it straight up, and the weight plate to the far right fell off. I then went to set it back in place, and the far left weight plate fell off before I could set it back down. I got everything set back in right in the stand and tried the straight bar. The same result happened, the far right weight plate fell off then the left. I set it all back in order in the stand, looked everything over then went through the owner’s manual again to ensure I didn’t miss anything. I confirmed everything was set up and adjusted properly. So, I searched online to see if this was a common problem and found several news stories saying this was recalled for this problem, and that buyers should call Bowflex’s parent company Nautilus directly for the kit to fix the issue. Once I called and got in touch with this Nautilus rep., he first confirmed that my unit had not been a recalled unit or it had already been updated with the fix, as the little spring-loaded plastic tab at the center of the bar that goes through the weight plates was white, and the recalled ones were black. He then went on to tell me, as mentioned above, that their quality control is not good and my unit or possibly the 40lb upgrade could be defective. He gave me some trouble shooting instructions to go through each weight setting progression and lift up a couple of inches at each setting to see if other settings have issues. This hurt my back a bit doing so, but I did follow his advice and went through the progressions. The problem only occurred at settings 110lbs and 120lbs on both the curl bar and straight bar. He recommended returning it all and (to paraphrase) he talked rather negatively about selectable/adjustable weight products in general. Other consumers should be aware that a Nautilus company rep. admitted that they have poor quality control, and even after recalling the product for this exact reason, the problem still exists. I had to re-box all of this heavy equipment and take it to a UPS drop off location myself to return it all. This has been a discouraging and bad experience from a company (Nautilus / Bowflex) I once regarded as the best at what they do.

Typical Bowflex
I let myself go and now pushing 70 it’s time to get into some kind of shape. I have a good deal of Bowflex equipment. It lasts, this is the same quality. This dial in system is great, it’s 80 lbs us plenty for what I do. Give this a try.

Works well, Durability concern
Pros:- Both curl and straight bars provided- 80lbs total weight with option to upgrade to 120lb- Compact size for the weight range available- All tools and parts provided with clear instructions for installationCons:- Plastic tabs to hold the plates together – definitely concerned with durability considering they tried this with their dumbbells and had to go back to the metal tabs- Adjusting the weight cradles for the final step was time consuming and frustrating (if not adjusted correctly, weights don’t lock or unlock easily when placing or removing the bar)- Stand is an upgrade for $200 but I feel should be included as standard in the current packageOverall works well and is great for a home gym. My only concern is the durability of the plastic tabs that lock the plates against each other. With 80-120lb and regular usage not sure how long these will hold up. Overall installation took me about 45min with clean-up and unboxing. 15 to install, 10 to clean up and unbox, 20 to adjust the cradles.

Elegant
OMG, what an amazing improvement over my dumb old curl bar with screw on collars! Changing weights is so quick it allows for a faster, seemless, workout with a sustained higher heart rate. Minor drawback is that it only changes weights by increments of 10 pounds.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT some assembly required
WARNING: the packaging for this is terrible. Lots of broken Styrofoam from in the box and pellets will get everywhere. I would prefer if they used something more environmentally friendly like rigid cardboard. More importantly there are STAPLES in the packaging that holds all the bolts and screws you need to assemble the base. I have NEVER ran into this before building anything, shame on bowflew for using staples you cant see until they stab you.Now for the normal review. Assembly of the base was straight forward, there are 2 screw holes that were not tapped well but all the other holes were smooth and thread in fine. I really like the weights. They are causing me less pain then lifting standard dumbbells so I am able to weight train more consistently. The handles are knurled (when they carve a grip pattern into the metal) which I love and wish their kettle bell had. Its easy and satisfying to adjust the weights however re racking them can be tricky because they have to drop into specific slots on the other plates. Overall for a full 2 bar it is quite compact and I’m happy I got it. I WOULD NOT however pay the full $700 price for it. To me the cheaper Chinese brands and having more space taking up is worth it. That $500 is just about the max I was willing to shell out for this type of equipment. I do recommend this for $500 for your home gym unless you are a person that drops their weights, you cant do that with any bowflex products to my knowledge.

Good Option For Home Gyms In Small Spaces
PROS: I really like that the length of the bar has been shortened from a standard barbell length, especially considering the available weight to purchase is much lighter than a typical commercial gym. It makes it much safer/practical to wield in confined spaces (i.g. not going to smash a lamp or tv in a condo). Similarly, I also appreciate the reduced profile of the weight plates. Once racked, changing the weight is extremely quick and easy, and the weight feels very sturdy and evenly balanced on the bar. The knurling on the bar is consistent and there are evenly spaced hand grips.CONS: This is very. very, very light weight for a barbell of any kind, even with the 40 lbs. upgrade. I wish more weight upgrades were available. It is VERY difficult to rerack the bar; it takes extraordinary finesse to settle the weights into the rack system, much more so than any weight system I’ve ever worked with. As with as all Bowflex Selectech equipment, the dumbbell/barbell has to be racked for you to change weights. Obviously, this is meant as a safety feature, but it is completely stupid and effectively eliminates the ability to do drop-sets with an level of efficacy.
