Forget dropped weights, bruised toes and bulky dumbbell racks, the new SelectTechä system from Nautilus is the ultimate dumbbell set for home fitness.

Fully adjustable, this innovative dumbbell system provides all the benefits of 15 separate pairs of dumbbells in just one simple to use set – saving both space and money.

Specially developed for home use, SelectTech’s user-friendly design means that anyone can use them from a serious ‘fitness junkie’ to a total novice. Just twist the dial to choose the weight you want to lift – from 2 to 21kg – and simply lift the weight out of the base.

And, because SelectTech allows small weight increments of 1kg up to 10 kg, and 2kg up to 21kg, these dumbbells are ideal for anyone just beginning a strength-training programme. SelectTech also offers a unique offset weight option which is useful as an effective muscle development tool, or to support rehabilitation from a sports injury.

For maximum safety, SelectTech’s patent-pending locking mechanism ensures that each user securely changes the weight on the handles, because it only works when the handle is fully inserted into the base – eliminating accidents with dropped plates.

Well-made and durable, Nautilus SelectTech dumbbells use only high grade materials and quality components. A special injection-moulded plastic encases each weight plate so the dumbbells won’t clank and clatter when they are set down – or scratch floors and surfaces. And, regardless of how sweaty the workout gets, the weights are also protected from corrosive rust.

With a RRP of just £299, SelectTech dumbbells measure 40 x 20.5 x 23 cm in size. An optional SelectTech dumbbell stand is also available at a RRP of £129. Designed to enhance the performance of the dumbbell set, the stand’s V-shaped ‘step in’ design allows the user to maintain correct upper body positioning while lifting the dumbbells from the rack.

With dumbbells one of the most popular home fitness products in the UK*, the sleek, compact and competitively priced SelectTech set is an ideal choice as either a stand alone home fitness product, or if you want to complement a home gym.
