LogestAdjustable Kettlebell Trainer - Heavy-Duty Exercise Equipment - Compatible with 2-inch Olympic Weight Plates - Ergonomic Equipment Training Tool with Maximum Pressure Capacity up to 315 pounds

I have shoppted kettle bells and they are just so expensive and haven't been able to justify buying all the different weights.I have round bar bell weights of different weights already. This is great!I can add subtract with all my existing weights and it works great!This is definitely a great buy and very simple to use.

This gets 5 stars in value for money, 4 for comfort, 3 for versatility, and 2 for engineering/manufacturing.Many (many) years ago, I thought myself quite clever and made an actually quite similar "adjustable kettlebell" type object from 3 plumbing pipes connected to a T joint. Mine looks cooler than this, more industrial, but this one admittedly works better. And I think is even cheaper than what the parts cost today. I definitely prefer this one. That said, it still has a lot of room for improvement.The plates don't slide around as much as they do on the DIY kettlebell, but they still jostle a bit, due to the too-thin main cylinder. For this alone, it should be updated and re-released. I know they have the parts for it, as I have shopped other Logest products, which include proper 2" olympic sized piping. Another issue is that the handle is no more sophisticated than my DIY unit. It's just a T handle, which means no central grip or one-handed use. That's a big deal, as it strips away potential for many of today's popular exercises. And it's just as slow to unscrew and remove for adding weight as my old DIY unit. Yes, this is technically adjustable, but changing weights is a slow enough hassle that (if you're like me) you're going to want to just pick one weight that lets you do your favorite exercise and leave it there - at which point you've defeated the adjustable bit.VERDICT:All that said, I'm still going to give it a 4/5 overall, carried mostly by its affordable price. But as a purpose-built product, it really should see a revision that gives it a better fitting olympic pipe, better handle, and quick-release for changing weights on the fly. I know they can do better than me.

Pro: the grips are GREAT.Cons: the holes don't align, making the device totally useless. The holes don't even come close to aligning!

This product does work. It's easy enough to set up and allows me to expand my workouts. My biggest complaint is when it comes to adding/removing weights. The screw is not made for quick changes. That said I rarely change out the weights so it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm sure there are better products out there but for the price I'll stick with this one.

I love that I can expand my gym equipment without having to buy a kettlebell. This works great. Kinda wide with a big plate on it but works fine. Easy to put together and take apart to change the weight plate.

This is a decent addition for any home gym - unless you have the funds to purchase a set of kettle bells. This comes in two pieces - a solid metal base bar that is designed to accommodate 2” weight plates - and a T shaped handle unit that slides onto the base piece and is secured in place by a large bolt & nut that is tightened by a hex wrench. There are several holes/notches in the handle unit that are designed to lengthen or shorten the trainer. Putting the trainer together is pretty simple and intuitive - however, it does require removing the bolt and disassembling the handle from the base to add or reduce weight. This may be a bit tedious if you need to adjust the weights between sets. The handle width is unfortunately not adjustable - so it may be too wide for some folks to perform full swings - but personally, I found it to be narrow enough to do the job, although it does take a bit of getting used to.Truth be told, you wouldn’t pack on 45# or even 35# on this to perform kettle bell swings - the plates would simply be too wide and bulky for that purpose - but this trainer can easily accommodate several smaller/lighter plates for that. I personally found the straight bar handles to be sturdy, nice solid grip and not overly awkward to use vs the traditional curved handles on kettlebells. This trainer can also be used to perform other types of exercises - similar to kettle bells (ie: goblet squats, bicep curls, bent rows, etc) however, cleans, overhead presses, and most unilateral work are a no- go. Still, it is functional and versatile enough to warrant adding it to your muscle building arsenal - especially for those days you may not want to use a full barbell set up or drag yourself to the gym. The handle/ grip feels nice and sturdy - foam makes it quite comfortable. Overall construction seems very solid - the base unit that holds the plates is well made and should be able to handle several plates (again - the smaller, lighter ones…). Overall, it is a decent value and a nice additional tool to augment your workout regimen.

I've been looking for something like this. I love using the kettlebells in the gym but didn't want to buy and store the various sizes I would need for my home gym. With this, I can use existing plates and it worked great. You are limited by the number of plates you can stack as its maximum extended length is 21". However, I put 270 lbs using 6 plates of 45lbs each. I don't know if I would stack it much higher than that, but the lift was good and felt solid. There was no bending and it appears to handle it just fine. The advertised capacity is 315lbs but as it is telescoping, the upper portion is a bit smaller diameter than the lower, giving it a bit more side to side play on the plates. It's not a lot, but shifting weights can throw off your lift.

The grips are excellent but what I like as much as the grips is the fact that you can adjust the height to different levels. It fits a lot of weight and you can do many many different exercises, with front and reverse grips...this gets a lot done without changing machines ..saves time and burns your arms !
