Kettlebells

Kettlebells for commercial and home gyms — cast iron, rubber-coated and competition-spec urethane, from 4 kg upwards. Cast iron gives the classic feel at the lowest cost per kilo, rubber-coated 4–14 kg suits studios where floor noise matters, and Ultra Series CPU urethane competition kettlebells keep uniform dimensions regardless of weight, so technique stays identical as members move up.

Kettlebells are bought by handle and finish as much as by weight. A wide, smooth handle takes two hands and chalk for swings and cleans; a rubber or vinyl base protects the floor in a studio where bells are set down between sets.

Buy the range rather than individual bells – kettlebell work moves in large jumps, and a gap in the middle of the set is what stops a class running. Keep them on a kettlebell rack from free-weight storage, and pair with dumbbells and functional equipment.
