PurAthletics Adjustable Kettlebell Review – Major selling points include:

• The PurAthletics adjustable kettlebell has an extremely easy to use adjustable dial, which makes it fast and simple to change weights.
• Incredibly small 2.5lb weight plates allow you to dial in the perfect weight for whichever exercise you are doing.
• The handle is extra wide, which performs optimally for 2-handed kettlebell swings.
• Quick weight changing capability saves time, and keeps you moving burning calories.

The PurAthletics model is a decent entry into the adjustable kettlebells niche, sporting some nice features that will surely please serious workout enthusiasts, especially woman.  Having said, that there are a few downsides.

For fitness training

Most grown men wouldn’t use this adjustable kettlebell for a full-blown strength training workout, since the PurAthletics kettlebell maxes out at 25 pounds (approximately 11kg).

This doesn’t mean it isn’t a good choice for some.  This mass-market kettlebell was probably designed with women, and beginner kettlebell users in mind.

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door, master the basics, or perfect your technique with lower weight, than this kettlebell is an acceptable choice.   High-rep swings and other high-rep kettlebell exercises don’t necessitate heavy weight. Those interested in using kettlebells for weightloss, toning up, and general conditioning, will be more than satisfied with the PurAthletics adjustable kettlebell.

 

Not for hard-core strength training

Again, since this is only a 25-pounder, you won’t turn into the world’s strongest kettlebell athlete simply by using this adjustable bell. If you want a heaver adjustable kettlebell that will keep up with you as you increase your strength and power, than we suggest you look at the Mir Adjustable Kettlebell.

 

MiR Adjustable Kettlebell

Bleeding edge kettlebell athletes know the value of an adjustable weighted vest, and athletes that want the best they can get, buy Mir adjustable kettlebells.  The Mir Adjustable Weighted Vest fits better and is more easily adjustable than any other design on the market.

And now, Mir makes adjustable kettlebell handles that accept the same weight plates used in their weighted vests, and adjustable dumbbells.

Features and benefits of Mir Adjustable Bell

• Change between 18- 78 pounds of weight. Exercise at any level of intensity at any time.
• The wide handle design is ideal for swings and overhead work.
• The patent pending quad locking pin makes this one of the most indestructible and safest adjustable kettlebells around.
• Each weight plate is 11lb.
• The weight plates are the same as used in the MiR adjustable dumbbell, and MiR Workout Vest.

This is a serious exercise tool for those who work-out with a plan in mind.  Don’t bother with those 20-40lb adjustable kettlebells that some other companies construct out of plastic. The Mir is made to be used hard by athletes who want to use kettlebell training to reach serious strength training goals.

The MiR adjustable kettlebell is not for those who just feel like swinging a bell around once in a while to stay in shape.  The Mir is fairly expensive, but when you consider the versatility inherent in its innovative design, the price becomes much more palatable.

 

More than just an adjustable kettlebell

The MiR adjustable kettlebell uses the same weight plates used in MiR’s adjustable weight vests, and adjustable dumbbell sets.  Even better: when you buy a MiR kettlebell, they throw in one of their dumbbell handles for free.  You get an adjustable bell and an adjustable kettlebell at the same time.
