not bad for the money
I got these kettle bells during the lightning round so I saved a little bit of money.
It is not made of solid iron like many of the better quality kettle bells out there. But it is good for those that are careful with plastic components and don't drop weights on the floor after they're done.
But if one is the type that likes to just let go of the weights after an intensive workout and let it drop I would caution the durability of these kettle bells.
(before anyone argues why would anyone drop weights on the floor they must have never been to a gym and watch people do that. And it is a dangerous "habit" but people DO do it...anyways....)
the material is a bit flimsy. The bells are bigger than I'd liked when you hold it to your sides it feels like you have bowling balls resting against your legs.
it does have a good grip on the handle and is comfortable to hold in your hands.
The bell tree/tower that holds the bell is well designed although it could use a bit more space saving innovation and improvement.
Overall for the price that I'd paid for this set it is worth the money. And with the free shipping it makes it an even more of a bargain.

Just find the right weight kettlebell for yourself!
Quite a few people give their own personal experience when getting these bells so you do need to pay attention to what weight accurately fits your strength. It is interesting to hear others experiences. In a book one might read a male who is of average strength can start out with 36 pounds! I must be really weak I sometimes need to use my 15 lb. kettlebell but the 20 pounder is what I prefer and I can see possibly moving up from that in time. The whole thing is a good exercise for the entire body and one's agility.
Find the right weight. I agree it really can be a portable gym to work on where ever you are. The booklet likewise is helpful to get you started on basics. I'm not sure how brands compare but the gofit KBs are sturdy with the fine vinyl coating which I'd think are good on carpet.

Nice to Start WithI like this kettlebell it's good for a newbie like me. Very well made the dvd is only instructional not good for a work along dvd but the dvd does explain the basic and that's good thing. This kettlebell has a smooth handle which is less damanging to hands and it's also Vinyl Coating which is good for those of us who workout inside and want to be careful with floors the price is good to. This bell is very portable I took it with me on a weekend trip so I was abe to maintain my workouts but make sure that if you take it in your car (which is what I did) seatbelt it down in the back seat or tuck it in underneath passage side back seat but never in you trunk. All in all I really like this bell and it's a good investment.
