Lifeline Kettlebell Weight for Whole-Body Strength Training with Kettlebells

I've been weight-lifting for almost three years, but I'm new to kettlebells. For that reason, I can't give as in-depth a review as someone with more knowledge. I am really happy with this kettlebell. It arrived in a styrofoam box within a cardboard box, with many straps and much tape, so that getting it out into the open was a workout in itself. It came out in perfect condition -- no scratches or chipped places. I've tried it in a rack position and lifted it overhead. The grip is comfortable for me -- enough texture for my hand to grab onto but not scratchy. I also find it to be comfortable in the rack position. For a two-handed hold I find my pinky fingers are better left outside of the handle, but that works for me. FYI I'm a 5'6" woman with medium size hands. I will definitely purchase more kettlebells from this company. The workmanship is very good, the price fits my budget, and they care about packaging their products in the best way.

I love kettlebells and have been using them for many years. I have experience with a wide variety of kettle manufacturers, from bargan basement to top tier companies. I have found that quality can not only vary from brand to brand, but also within a brand; a pair of 35#/ 16kg from the same manufacturer will be the same size, but often have variations in the coating coverage, especially in the handles where the coatings can coagulate and create rough parts inside the handle, where you grip and rotate the kettlebell.I discovered these Lifeline kettlebells when they were in sale and I was looking to get a second 26k/53#. The one I had was from a high end company and I initially felt I was lowering my standards by getting the Lifeline, but the price difference was substantial, particularly when you added the cost of shipping (vs free shipping with Amazon Prime).When the kettlebell arrived, I was simply shocked by how well it was made. I understand; you're probably thing that this is just a hunk of metal, what could possibly be the difference? As someone who's callouses can attest, the coating of the handle is paramount. The Lifeline kettlebell handle was coated smoothly, without any rough spots under the handle. The coating was also perfect for using chalk, as it adheres to the coating allowing for both a solid, strong grip, as well as smooth rotations during cleans and snatches.I was so impressed by the quality of that Lifeline kettlebell that I began buying them to replace the ones I already owned, even from the high end manufacturers. I currently have doubles of Lifeline 26k/53#, 32k/70#, and 36k/80#. I also have one 40k/88#.I store all of my kettlebells outside under a canvas tarp and exercise outside in the heat and humidity. They get exposed to a lot of sweat and weather, but only one of them has shown any signs of rust. The 40k kettlebell has shown some small spots of rust on the handle (it is visible in the photos), but it turned out to just be surface rust and it was easily brushed off when I cleaned off the chalk residue.Overall, these kettlebells have proven to be an incredible value, given their competitive price and the savings on shipping. I plan on continuing to expand my kettlebell arsenal by adding their 44k/97#. I highly recommend these kettlebells for anyone looking to expand their KB collection.

This kettlebell arrived in good time and with good packaging. It was in a Styrofoam encasement which was in a cardboard box.This is a nice looking and feeling kettlebell. For many years, I’ve used dragon door kettle bells, which have a beautiful fit and finish and a nice thick handle. This one also has a thick handle and the finish is slightly less smooth than the dragon door but with a very fine texture.The base of the kettle bell sits flat in case you want to use it for any sort of push-ups or stability work it has a great appearance and the casting looks good and it’s just an overall nice kettlebellThe Dragon door kettle bells are very nice. However you have to pay large shipping costs because they’re heavy and they are very expensive. Sometimes they do have black Friday sales, which helps.Compared to the Rep kettle bells, both seem to have a similar nice finish, and the Rep one is slightly smoother. This kettlebell, however, has the nice thick grip that Rep seems to have not used. The Rep kettlebell grip is too small and thin.Having heard Pavel talk about kettlebell training on his videos and interviews, having the nice thick handle is part of its benefits as it builds up your grip strength.So yes, these are nice kettle bells. I realize I’ve only purchased one, but I would definitely buy more weights. Stay hard! and Merry Christmas. PS: I bought the 16 kg size also.

I bought three pairs, and liked them so much I immediately bought two more pairs. Having used them for a few weeks now, I'm very pleased with their quality. They came well packed, with no damage, defects, or smell. These are every bit as good as the kettles I've used in commercial gyms. And I would buy more if I needed them.

It doesn't get any better than this at the given price point. Great quality, the powder coat is done well, there's no rough chunks and it's holding up well with daily use. The paint on the horns is also holding up well. The handle could be a little wider but other than that this bell is great!

Great grip, and overall good handling as a kettlebell. Good price compared to some other well known brands. Worth the investment for your home gym
