Kettlebells & Kettlebell Sets

Many beginners start around 8–12 kg (18–26 lb); active or stronger lifters often begin at 12–16 kg (26–35 lb). Choose a weight you can press for multiple reps with solid form; for fundamentals and progressions, see The Keys to the Kettlebell.

Start with a single bell to learn swings, squats, and presses; add a lighter bell for overhead work and a heavier bell for swings/squats as you progress, and choose pairs if you plan lots of double‑kettlebell training. REP Fitness offers singles in kg and lb and an 8–24 kg set for smooth progression.

Fixed bells offer a rock‑solid feel and predictable balance for any movement, while adjustable bells save space by covering multiple weights in one unit. REP’s adjustable kettlebells provide three incremental weight options to cover common training ranges in minimal space.

Pick one unit system and stick with it to keep programming and progressions simple (kg is common in sport; lb aligns with many U.S. programs). REP carries full ranges in both kg and lb so you can match your preference.

Look for a smooth, seam‑free handle with enough width for two‑hand swings, a comfortable diameter, and a flat, stable base. Durable, grippy finishes like powder coat help maintain control, especially when your hands get sweaty.
