What you should know about kettlebells

A good set of kettlebells is an essential part of any gym. They open the door to kettlebell swings, snatches and other full-body movements.

Our cast iron kettlebells are practical and affordable. They come in a wide range of weights from 4kg to 28kg to suit any experience level.

For a more premium finish and standardised look across weights, turn to our competition kettlebells. These are colour-coded for easy identification and look right at home in PT studios and commercial spaces.

FAQ

01

What weights do your kettlebells come in?

Our cast iron kettlebells come in 4kg, 6kg, 8kg, 10kg, 12kg, 16kg, 20kg, 24kg and 28kg.

Our competition kettlebells range from 8kg to 32kg, with 4kg jumps between each weight. Both are sold as singles.

02

What weight kettlebell should I buy?

Most beginners start with an 8kg kettlebell for two-handed movements like swings and goblet squats, and a 4kg or 6kg kettlebell for single-arm movements like presses and snatches.

If you already lift, 16kg to 24kg is a common range for swings. If you can, try a few weights at a gym first, then choose one you can lift for 8 to 12 reps with good form.

03

Are kettlebells good for beginners?

Yes. Kettlebell exercises work your whole body, which makes them one of the easiest ways to build strength at home. Start light and focus on swings, goblet squats and cleans, then go up a weight when 12 reps start to feel easy.

04

Should I buy one kettlebell or a set?

You only need one kettlebell to get started. Most kettlebell exercises use a single weight, while most dumbbell exercises use a pair.

If you buy two, get different weights rather than a matching pair: a lighter one for isolation movements and a heavier one for compound lifts.

05

What’s the difference between cast iron and competition kettlebells?

Cast iron kettlebells get bigger as they get heavier. Competition kettlebells are the same size at every weight, with colour-coded handles so you can tell them apart.

Cast iron is the better choice for home gyms, while competition kettlebells suit commercial gyms.

06

What’s the difference between kettlebells and dumbbells?

A kettlebell’s weight sits below a wider handle, which makes it better for swinging movements.

Dumbbells are better for controlled lifts like presses and curls, where you want the weight balanced evenly on either side of your hand.

07

What are your cast iron kettlebells made of?

Our cast iron kettlebells are made from solid cast iron with a painted finish rather than a rubber coating.

08

What exercises can I do with a kettlebell?

The kettlebell swing is the most popular kettlebell exercise. You can also use a kettlebell for goblet squats, snatches, cleans, presses, rows, Russian twists and farmer’s carries. In a home gym, a kettlebell can also cover most dumbbell exercises, which saves space and money.

09

How do I do a kettlebell swing?

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a kettlebell in front of you with both hands. Hinge at the hips, swing the kettlebell back between your legs, then drive your hips forward to swing it up to shoulder height. Keep your back straight and focus on letting your hips do the heavy lifting, not your arms.

10

What are the benefits of using kettlebells?

Kettlebells combine strength and cardio in one piece of equipment. Moves like swings and snatches work your legs, glutes, back and core, while raising your heart rate more than a standard dumbbell exercise would. They’re also compact, allowing you to do a full-body workout with minimal equipment.

11

Can you build muscle with kettlebells?

Yes. As long as you keep adding weight or reps over time, and make sure your diet supports your training, kettlebell training will build muscle.

12

Are kettlebells good for cardio and fat loss?

Yes. Fast movements like swings raise your heart rate quickly, which makes kettlebells a good fit for circuits. Try swings, presses, rows and goblet squats, doing each for 30 seconds with 30 seconds of rest in between. For fat loss, combine your training with a calorie deficit.

13

Will kettlebells damage my floor?

They can if you’re not careful. Our cast iron kettlebells have a painted finish, so train on rubber gym flooring or be extra careful when setting them down to avoid scuffing your floor.

14

How do I look after my kettlebell?

Keep your kettlebell indoors somewhere dry, and wipe it down if it gets sweaty or wet. Don’t spray cleaning products directly onto it, because this can damage the paint and cause rust.

15

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes. Orders over £250 get free delivery. Orders under £250 have a delivery charge based on weight, which you’ll see at checkout. Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and the Channel Islands may have separate charges.

16

What’s the warranty on your kettlebells?

All of our kettlebells come with a one-year warranty.
