Does Kettlebell Brand Make a Difference

Does Kettlebell Brand Make a Difference?

Good question!!

Not all kettlebells are created equally.

I personally have purchased many different kettlebells from a variety of places. I must say I have been happy with each and everyone of them as they have varied in price range from the dirt cheap to fairly expensive.

The kettlebell brand does make a difference but for various reasons. Unless you're gonna throw the kettlebell then most brands allow you to perform a decent workout/training session.

Here is a list of the places I have got kbells from

LondonKettlebells.com
Newitts.com
Powerseekers.com
Tvdeals.tv

I have found that the best value for money kettlebells have been tvdeals.tv (nice thick handles) with Newitts a close second due to their excellent construction. I have also found poweseekers to provide superb competition style kettle bells but my all time favourite being LKB mainly due to the superb quality but also the fact that they provide 'Monster Kettlebells' upto 60kg and there support is fantastic. So if you're looking to buy kettlebells in London and want to save on some carriage.

When buying a kettlebell............

1. If you can only afford one and it's your first, makesure you're getting the right weighted kbell. Try a friends or go to gym and makesure you're gonna be able to handle the weight. If it's far too heavy for you then you ain't gonna get much of a workout.

2. Make sure there aren't badges sticking out of the kettlebell (a symbol cast into the kbell) as this will certainly cause abrasions on your forearms after doing several hundred reps in a session.

3. Try and find a review on the kettlebell you are buying. Scan the internet or ask on forums etc to see what other people think. Also check the carriage costs as this can add quite a lump to the cost.

4. Don' forget you'll become seriously addicted to kettlebell training when you get one and will have less time to spend with boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives.

5. Buying a kettlebell will lead on to wanting to buy more kettlebells of same and various weights.
