Apex Adjustable Heavy-Duty Kettlebell Weight for Strength Training and Weightlifting, Ideal Home Gym Equipment, Cast Iron, Grey APKB-5009

This is a solid well made kettlebell. I am thankful it is adjustable so I can increase gradually. I will update when I actually start using it.

This is a great value if you have the right plates already available AND if you can start off at 20 lbs. It will save you lots of money (and storage space) over buying individual kettlebells. While the handle is only 15 lbs (just under 7 kg), it's a big jump (+32%) to put on the base to make it 20 lbs. This kettlebell plus 4 - 7.5 lb "pancake" plates gets you to the maximum of 50 lbs (23 kg). However, I prefer about 10 percent jumps in weight, so I added in a combination of 1.25 (close to half kilo), 2.5 (just over a kilo), and 5 lb plates I had from my dumbbells with the 7.5s and that provides a 20-50 lb range (9-23 kg) in 1.25 or 2.5 lb increments (about same as half kilo to 1 kg jumps). This gives you the versatility to have very small to very large jumps in weight load. Finally, it is about as tall as a traditional 35 lb regular kettlebell, but the handle is a little more squared (although not as much as a competition kettlebell). Also, how you stack the plates and plastic spacers will greatly affect the balance and feel. Overall, I found this to be a great option when I just started to learn kettlebell exercises and needed lighter weights. I was then was able to inexpensively add weight to the same piece of equipment as my strength increased.

Great product, if you find the right plates you can get it up to 60lbs which is more than they say.

Let me start by saying this is a great product. It is sturdy, has a great studded metal type feel and easy to grip for different exercises. It's a larger size in my opinion but I like that it can be modified for more weight plates which is a huge plus for my family's needs. Pros Heavy, easy to grip, works as intended. More plates can be added for additional weight (only one 5 lb place included with the my order) Cons More bulky than some other kettle bell brands. The bottom nut will come loose with use sometimes and must be tightened. Overall it's a great addition to a small workout space that I've carved in my home.

I bought two of these adjustable kettlebells for my home gym and have been extremely pleased. They are very easy to use and adjusting the weight is very simple. I’ve had these up to 60lbs and they are very solid. If I had to be critical on one thing I’d ask them to add a checkering to the grip. If your hands are sweaty they can slip around in your hand a bit. But overall I highly recommend this product for any home gym.

For the price, I shouldnt have jad to do any finishing work. Inside of the handle on both kettlebells I bought was a mold seam that had to be filed down and repainted. Would have chewed my skin up with any additional weight added. Otherwise, they're great. Easy to add weight up to 40lb total, and they're built to last.

good kettlebell for price paid

Good value in that you can create your own variety of pound increments with your own playes
