Stamina 36-Pound Adjustable Kettle Versa-Bell Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Shaped (pretty much) like a traditional bell; weight changes are super quick and easy
Cons: A lot of plastic, slight rattling from the weight plates
New to kettlebell training, so I don't have a lot of experience to rate this against other types of bells.
The handle and top of the dome that you see in the picture is metal, the red part is a plastic dome that conceals the weight plates. It seems sturdy enough for its intended use (lifting, swinging, etc.), but I could imagine shattering the plastic pretty easily if I dropped it on a hard surface. The internals seem pretty solid though. Not perfectly round, it's slightly flattened on the sides parallel with the handle, but the top portion is round.
Weight changeover is amazingly quick, pull down a rubber bumper on the side, slide the pin out, put it back in the new hole, flip the bumper back up, and lift. Five seconds, tops, and foolproof. It has an internal weight stack, unused weights remain on the floor on an included mat.
My other first impression is that it is pretty big--think volleyball size. Doesn't bother me, but it's considerably bigger than the 35-pound solid bell at my gym. A typical 16-pound fitness bell would probably be a third of the size.

With the Stamina Adjustable Kettlebell, there is no need to have an entire set of kettlebells or to guess at which weight is right for you. One Stamina Adjustable Kettlebell replaces an entire set of conventional kettlebells at a fraction of the cost, and takes up very little storage space. The adjustable kettlebell is six kettlebells in one. A simple locking pin let's you choose 16 lbs., 20 lbs., 24 lbs., 28 lbs., 32 lbs., and 36 lbs.: that's six weights in 4 lb. increments.

KettleWorx Complete - Total Body Kettlebell Fitness in a Box 13 DVDs with 2 Kettlebells Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product for both my husband and me to use. We've had this product for one week and we've both completed two workouts. We were extremely disappointed to find that the workouts were not contiguously filmed, but are comprised of multiple segments strung together. It's very demotivating when you know that the people you're watching on the screen aren't doing this workout in its entirety!
Each segment is played twice and that is the whole workout. I think circuit training is very beneficial but I don't appreciate having to hear and see the exact same thing twice in just one workout. Additionally, the same clips are used in multiple workouts. These workouts do not offer as much variety as is claimed. The cardio workout was comprised of several of the same exercises as the resistance and abs workouts.
Furthermore, we had to be very careful as the instructor is not always doing the same number of reps on each side of the body. During the week 1 resistance workout, he instructed us to perform 7 reps on one side and only 3 on the other. That's a huge difference and very unhealthy I might add.
I am currently attempting to return this product which has been a frustrating process in itself as the customer service phone number does not give customers the option of speaking to a live person; you must either leave a voicemail or email them.
Save yourself some time and money and look elsewhere.
