Body-Solid Kettlebells Review

Body-Solid Kettlebells
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just spent an hour going through the stock of a local fitness company. The Body Solid kettlebells are really well-finished - not quite as smooth as the picture makes it out to be, but close (!) and quite a bit smoother and better finished than the GoFit, Cap, Troy, Apollo, and Powermax bells I looked at recently. I found several that I could buy and never bother to touch up the handles, in fact. They're almost as smooth as most epoxy coated kettlebells.
The handles graduate in size somewhat, but are roughly 1 3/8" or 35 mm through most of the range (appx. 20 - 50 pounds), and a bit smaller below that and a bit larger above. Space inside the handle is a bit under 3", but measurements were hard to get very accurately with a tape measure. Suffice it to say that handle diameters are sufficiently beefy, and space is certainly mainline.
The paint on all the examples I saw, except one oddball, was shiny black. Body Solid describes it as enamel, though the dealer insisted it was powder coat. It scratches white, and some on the rack showed some scratches like this. I actually preferred the matte finish on the oddball, but the dealer insisted that all new ones are the shiny black.
I like them, and they're well-priced. The only problem - for me - is that I prefer kettlebells in conventional kilo weights, as virtually every book, video, training regime, article, etc. that you read on kettlebells uses kilos (standards weights start with 4kg and go up in 4kg increments). Pound weight is a non-issue for the 35 pounder, as it's only 3 ounces different than a 16 kilo bell. The 55 pounder, however is 2.2 pounds heavier than a 24. Body Solid doesn't make bells above 75 pounds. All competition bells, should you develop that interest, are in standard kilogram weight progressions as well.

TRX FORCE Kit Review

I got this product during my most recent deployment to Iraq, and I have to say, I doubted it's usefulness at first. This has quickly become my preferred method for strength and endurance training, and all I have to do is string it over my door. A simple chest press becomes a shoulder, chest, tricep and core workout all in one. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a change from traditional weight lifting, have limited available space, and are looking to combine exercises for a more functional workout. A great buy.

I couldn't believe I was able to get a kettle bell for this amount! I got it for my husbands birthday and he loves it. He thinks now that he has it he also needs a lighter one so that he can do all his exercises with the kettlebell, but that will have to wait. The only thing I wish was different, it I wish it were epoxy coated, but that is just a preference. Maybe for the next one I will sped the extra money for the epoxy coated one.
The service was GREAT and delivery was fast. Thanks!
