I have this and have been using it for more than a year. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I can't fit many kettlebells at home and this is really a space saver and did the job reasonably well. On the other hand, because of the design, the center of the mass would change depending on the selected weight, and makes it a bit awkward when doing the same exercises with different weight (have to compensate for the different center of mass).

Also the kettlebell has edges not smooth enough (not a standard kettlebell shape). I always find it a bit uncomfortable doing some kettlebell clean.

And the weight gap between 25lb and 35lb is too wide. Given the max weight is 40lb, it would be much better if there's a 30lb option.

Overall I like it, well worth the money. At this price I would definitely buy it again (I paid ~300 during the peak of the pandemic).

I second this, I bought this shortly after the pandemic started in 2020 for $149. I like mine but the form factor makes it hard for any overhead movements because it's so big. It gets the job done and saves space so I'd gladly get another one if mine broke. Jaxjok also makes one but it cost $249.

Agreed. Also, I feel I have to "baby" the plastic base. Overall, I appreciate the design and how I can reduce the number of kettlebells.

sounds like the same issues I have with the bowflex adjustable dumbells and the conclusion I came to with those is If I'm gonna be stuck with them for life or until they break, I should have paid extra for better/smaller ones instead. So I think I'll learn from my mistakes and avoid these.

well said. It held me over when gyms were closed. I think it is fantastic except for the weight jump 25 lb -> 35 lb! I go between 25 and 30 at the gym, and to avoid injury, don't do anything above that. But still worth $150 I paid - $119 is a steal!

it's big because it uses plastic weights. walmart sold the FitRx that was very compact because it has steel weights. the only downside for some would be that the FitRx is 35 lb. the up side is that the FitRx is/was $63 https://slickdeals.net/f/15784540-fitrx-powerbell-quick-select-adjustable-kettlebell-18-35-lbs-for-62-84-free-shipping?src=SiteSearch.

personally i think the FixRx is a better deal (if you don't need the extra 5lb.

not worth it at all, you are paying for the brand and getting plastic weights. get the FitRx brand that is 100% steel (small form factor and much more durable), and cost significantly less. just read the reviews on walmart and you will realize that this thing is a hidden deal that most have not realized yet.

I have the 90lb dumbbells. I like them a lot but they're just so damn bulky. I also baby them a bit like with bench presses to make sure I don't tap them together which I usually do to get that extra squeeze. I only really use them for heavier workouts. Still a good product but I prefer single weight dumbbells overall.

with the price difference you should not have any problems picking up additional 8/12 lb of Vinal kettle-bell on CL, FB orWalmart [walmart.com]. or even real solid steel https://www.walmart.com/ip/Athlet...hbdg=L1300.

the point is that bowflex is plastic, let go of it one time and it's game over https://youtu.be/NaqdmkVLYyA?t=281 . and the FitRx is basically PowerBlock at a very discounted price.
