Rhino Kettlebell Rubber Weights, Black - Premium Strength Training Equipment - Multiple Weights

Due to a back injury, I couldn’t perform a lot of very dynamic exercises for a long time. I bought the 6 lbs version of this kettlebell to use as a form trainer to help build up my muscle memory for complex kettlebell movements before I moved back to using my old heavy cast-iron kettlebells.I didn’t try any of the heavier kettlebells as I already had a set, but this was invaluable in optimizing my form and technique as I got back into the swing of working out.Even though I bought the lightest one and wasn’t using it for the weight resistance, it’s not hard to tell that they’re solidly built. It seems common sense that you can’t screw up a kettlebell, but believe me, I’ve seen some companies do it.My only issue with this is the same as I have with most every set of kettlebells I’ve ever used in that the handle is never big enough. I have large hands and if using a double-grip, it gets a little crowded in finger town.Overall though, it worked great!

Handle is very thick and narrow and hard to grab with quick/switch movements. Would have preferred one of the pretty colors that appeared when I ordered. (was sent black). I am using it, but I will be looking to replace with an easier to use handle. Love the flat bottom that keeps it in place when resting.

We have a pretty expansive weight set as both my hubby and I worked out at home quite a bit pre-COVID and over the years we've created a pretty good set up that works for us. For some exercises, I definitely prefer using a kettlebell instead of a dumb bell. I have the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells that can be a bit bulky for certain exercises so I opt for a kettlebell instead since the grip and angle just works better. The 12 pounder here is a versatile size for all sorts of stuff so I was thrilled to try it out.The traditional metal kettlebells I sometimes have a hard time holding as the grip is far too wide for me. I don't have small hands but they're also not huge and the slick coating along with the wider grip is not a great combo, especially if you're sweaty. I love this rubber kettlebell because it's easy to grip but it's also "softer" for setting down and whatnot. You shouldn't drop your weights, especially at your own house, but if you did happen to drop this one, it wouldn't be as bad as dropping an actual iron kettlebell.The current listed price on this is $95 which is absolutely insane for 12 pounds (I'm pretty sure it was around $40 when I originally ordered this so not sure what the heck happened). $40 is a little expensive for 12 pounds in my opinion but once you factor in the unique material, relatively consistent on pricing. I would NOT recommend it at the $95 price at all. If you're still considering buying it at $95, do yourself a favor and check out the Bowflex adjustable kettlebell for $50-ish more and get a lot more weights and versatility.Bottom line: Great quality kettlebell (what you would expect from Rhino) and I highly recommend but shop around for sure.

This review is for the Champion Sports Rhino Kettlebell Rubber Weights, Black - Premium Strength Training Equipment - Multiple Weights (6 Pounds). Very nice, well-made, at-home kettle ball, made of durable plastic and rubber, which is much better than metal to help protect your home’s floor surfaces. The handle is smooth and comfortable to grip, and can be gripped with either one or two hands. To grip with two hands, you do have to hold it somewhat by the curved part of the handle on the sides to have enough space. I really like the flat bottom design as well. You can set it down on a spot a know it will stay there in an upright handle position. It works really well for any typical kettlebell exercise.With all that being said, I would have rated this 5 stars, however I dropped it to 3 because the actual weight is wrong. This was supposed to be 6 pounds, but it seemed too light. I weighed it using 2 different devices, and sure enough, it is 20pct too light, weighing in at only around 4.75 pounds (4 pounds 12oz) total both times. Apparently they have a quality control problem when it comes to delivering the specific amount of weight stamped on the kettlebell.

My sister in law is an instructor and she always talks about the benefits of using a kettle ball. There are tons of videos and exercises that I didn't even know about. I've been using this to strengthen my arms and realize it works a lot more than just my arms. It's an incredible workout when you know how to use it. The overall design is great, love the heavy durable rubber that it's made of. I have a small workout gym that has hardwood floors and this is absolutely ideal, even if it drops. Impressed with this kettlebell , it's getting a lot of use.

Nice kettlebell that's been great to have on hand for workouts. The rubber casing around it is thick so it's easy on my flooring. The grip is comfortable on the hands and everything about it feels well made. I'm very pleased with it!

The kettlebell can be used for a variety of workouts and having a rubber ones makes it even more versatile. This is a quality made product and very durable. The handle is smooth but not slick so it's easy to grab, even if you have big hands. It's got a thick rubber coating that doesn't make a loud sound or dent the floor when you put it down. The brand offers a variety of weight options to select from so that's a plus. We went with the 12lb one and are happy with it for the exercises we typically do. The current price of $95 seems very high. Although this is a better made product, I think a price-point of $40-60 for 12lbs seems more reasonable.

Well made and just what I was looking for. The weight is great for toning up without creating bulk.
