With gyms closed for the foreseeable future, exercisers across the UK have been stocking up on fitness equipment to continue their training from the comfort of their own home. For a lot of people though, they don’t have the luxury of bags of space to accommodate some of their favourite larger pieces - compact equipment is definitely the name of the game here.

That’s where Bowflex’s SelectTech range really shines, with the recently released SelectTech 2080 Adjustable Barbell the latest in a line of space-saving strength equipment, including dumbbells and kettlebells, that are designed to maximise whatever space you’re working with.

Save Space and Replace 7 Weights

Replacing up to 7 barbells and 7 curls bars (we’ll come back to this later), the compact set can switch between 9, 13.5, 18, 22.5, 27, 31.5 and 36 kg at just the turn of a dial, meaning you don’t have to allocate the space for a full set of barbells. With the bar sat in its dock, just twist the weight selector at either end to select your desired weight and it’s ready to go. Plus, if you want to change weight quickly mid-workout, you simply have to place it back in the dock, twist, and lift again!

Straight Bar and EZ Curl Bar

That’s right, the 2080 isn’t just a single bar. It includes both a standard straight bar for traditional strength movements, and an EZ Curl bar that’s designed primarily for bicep and tricep movements.

Expand Your Workouts

With the addition of an EZ Curl bar, the exercise potential of the SelectTech 2080 is truly vast. Thanks to its curved design, the Curl bar places your hands at the optimal position for specifically targeting your biceps and tricep in movements like curls, skull crushers and tricep extensions. Meanwhile, the straight barbell lets you perform total body exercises like deadlifts, clean and press, glute bridges, squats, lunges and more from any room in your home.

Optional Attachments

Want an extra challenge? The additional Upgrade Kit adds an extra 18kg to your SelectTech 2080 for even greater workout variety, taking the maximum weight of your bar from 36kg to 54kg. Bowflex have also created an intuitive storage solution for both bars, protecting your lower back and keeping your workout area tidy. Complete with a large built-in media rack, just prop up your smart device and easily access training videos, entertainment and more. The stand includes two different heights in which to rack the bar that’s not in use, and features levellers on either side to ensure stability.

Exercise Video Library

What if you’re new to weight training, and don’t really know where to start? Don’t worry, Bowflex have created a helpful exercise video library to help you master the perfect form, with a clear understanding on how to use your new SelectTech 2080 barbell and curl bar effectively.
