GYMENIST Neoprene Coated Kettlebell - 5-50lbs Iron Weights for Home Gym, CrossFit & Strength Training - Perfect for HIIT, Cardio & Full Body Workouts

Son de buena calidad.I've been working out with these at home a few times a week for several months and have been satisfied with them. The neoprene coating has not thinned or torn - one bell arrived with a small chip in the neoprene where it opens to the exposed iron and it hasn't expanded at all. The handle itself was smoothly finished and is comfortable in the hand. The weight is true and consistent between the two. They 'feel' a little smaller than other kettlebells I've used but I like that about them, since they don't get in the way when I use them in pairs & can easily be used for less common stuff, like holding them on my chest for weighted sit ups. They were also one of the more affordable sets I found on Amazon. Would buy again.I absolutely love these kettlebells and wish I had found this brand first when filling our gym with equipment. Great grip, durable and perfect!Other than there being rust on the handle it’s a nice weightI'm just starting out using kettlebells. I'm 51 and have very little strength. I decided to purchase a 12 lb and 15 lb bell. I liked the idea of having a wrap around the bottom of the bell to protect my floor. I read a lot of articles on the best kettlebells and the two highest rated was Rep Fitness and Kettlebell Kings. However, they were very pricey and since I am just starting out, I didn't want to pay that much. I purchased the 12 lb GYMENIST and the 15 lb Amazon Basics. I'm going to compare both of them and hopefully this helps someone when considering future purchases.GYMENIST ProsNeoprene Coating is thinner than vinyl coating (Amazon Basics) so when your fingers touch the neoprene it isn't as rough or as uncomfortable than the thicker vinyl coatingCost (both Gymenist and Amazon Basics were comparable in costs - about a 1/3 of the cost of Rep or Kings)Gymenist ConsSharp edges on handle. The black paint on the handle was chipped and there's a very sharp edge right on the side/center of the handle where you would naturally grip. I could probably sand it down, but then that would further remove the paint.Handle is thick. The Gymenist is the lighter and smaller of the two kettlebells (12 lbs) but the handle is slightly thicker than the 15 lb AB kettlebell. I feel like my hands are a normal size but I definitely prefer the thinner handle from Amazon Basics.I don't think I'm going to keep either kettlebell. The sharp edges of the Gymenist and the uncomfortableness of the vinyl coating on the Amazon Basics just don't lend itself to using these long term.The weight is accurate. The padding is fine. Came packaged weirdly, but held up during shipping. No ridges or sharp parts in the handle. I can just fit both hands in the handle for swings so the handle itself is probably not acceptable for a man unless you are only using it for single arm exercises. Very happy overall though; it does what it should and the quality is decent!Worked for my needsI purchased the 12lb GYMENIST Kettlebell to use while rehabbing my rotator cuff & bicep. I have a very diverse set of kettlebells in my home gym. This is the only GYMENIST kettlebell in the Set & the only one w/a neoprene coating. I do have a few w/plastic coatings which is harder & smoother/slicker than the neoprene. I found the neoprene coating around the bottom half of the kettlebell to be a nice feature. This makes the kettlebell very comfortable & improves gripping when holding the bell around the base (ball portion) w/sweaty hands/fingers. There are no seams visible on the kettlebell nor any sharp or protruding imperfections from casting.Arrived with a substantial burr and really sharp point that interferes with usage. Going to keep it and file it down (which will take away some of the paint). Unfortunately, 12lb kettle bells are hard to find or I would return it.Bought it since we’re all force inside for social distancing. It’s a nice replacement from the the dumbbells I use at the gym. I like using kettlebell exercises for fitness. I plan on extending my collection if we’re inside for much longerits small easy to travel withTrès bienIt’s so small and cute
