Ready to Purchase Kettlebells?
So you think you might be ready to purchase kettlebells. You’ve been looking around online for the best way to get into shape, and found out about them. Personally, my results from kettlebells have been better than any other type of exercise I’ve tried.
Fortunately when you’re ready to purchase kettlebells, you have a few options. Unfortunately, good kettlebells are rare in the “real world”, so you’ll probably have to get them online. I’ve found a few trustworthy options, whether you just need one or two, or a full kettlebell set.
First, you can buy kettlebells from RussianKettlebells.com. These are the kettlebells designed by Pavel Tsatsouline and offered through Dragon Door. These are the kettlebells that started the current trend in the US and are great bells. They are black powder-coated, which means the finish is baked-on for durability. They’re made in the USA, hence the higher price. These are available as a kettlebell set of three.
Second, you can purchase kettlebells from RussianReds.com. These are actually the same as the black ones listed above. The only difference is the finish. Where the black ones are powder-coated, these are simply painted red. The finish doesn’t last as long, but they are also a little less expensive, and are also made in the USA.
Third, you can buy kettlebells from MuscleDriverUSA.com. These are the least expensive of the bunch, and are not made in the USA. They have them available in a few different finishes. I personally have not used these kettlebells, but they’ve gotten positive reviews. In addition, Muscle Driver has gotten good reviews as well (quick shipping, good customer service). While they don’t offer these in a kettlebell set, you can still get three for a great price. If you’re really ambitious, they do offer a discount if you buy six or more (three pairs).
After you purchase kettlebells, you’ll probably want some training material. For beginners, I recommend Enter the Kettlebell. I haven’t seen the DVD, but the book is very clearly written and covers everything from absolute beginner to advanced trainees. In fact, you can save some money by picking up one of the Quick Start Kits from RussianKettlebells.com. Also, the From Russia with Tough Love is a good DVD to start with. I have it and it’s not just for women. It’s also at RussianKettlebells.com, and is also available as a Quick Start Kit.
Another option for beginners is Steve Cotter’s DVD - Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Lifting Volume 1. It’s basically an all-inclusive kettlebell training system from beginner to advanced. It’s seven hours long and covers just about everything from strength and endurance to speed and flexibility. Certainly worth checking into.
If you’re more advanced, or think you’ll advance quickly, consider Mike Mahler’s books or DVDs. Be sure to check out his bundle offers for some good discounts. If you’re really advanced, just serious, or are a personal trainer, consider Boys Are Back in Town Kettlebell Workshop DVD set with Mike Mahler, Steve Maxwell, Steve Cotter, and Nate Morrison. I have this set and it’s loaded with great information - and not all kettlebell-related.
I hope this helps you buy the right kettlebell and training material to get started on the right foot. Soon you’ll be getting your own results from kettlebells.
