I enjoy my dragon door kettlebell. Its a great quality product and I plan on purchasing other products in the future.
Pug - Philadelphia, PA

I purchased the 35 pound KB, and after carefully reviewing the DVD and the book, I started doing the workout. I did have a bench press over 200 pounds, but I decided to get the 35 pound KB anyway. I am glad I did. Its a workout for me.
Im 40 years old, and I really took the time to study and practice the movements rather than just jumping in and doing things. I would recommend anyone that does not have patience to not purchase this product. It is worth taking your time and practicing to be able to perform the exercises correctly. I would recommend buying the "Enter the Kettlebell" book and DVD together. I purchased the book and realized I needed more than just pictures on some of the exercises.
The last two weeks I have just really been getting a rhythm down with a good majority of the exercises. I have a little workout schedule with certain exercises on certain days. All I can say is for a guy who grew up playing sports and working out with free weights, I wish I would of had this kettlebell growing up and Pavel's instructions. Like I said, Im 40 now, and I can't wait to do these workouts. No need for aerobic training or running. You get both with the kettlebell, along with the awesome strength training and muscle balance to add. When I finish a workout with my kettlebell, I do not have a dry spot on my shirt. This thing rules
J. Meier - Greenville, SC USA

I got this as my starter KB, and let me tell you... the workouts will leave you feeling dog tired and like you just got your butt whooped, but you enjoy every bit of it. I wouldn't go so far as to say it eliminates the usefulness of other, more traditional, equipment entirely, even Pavel's released material on traditional barbell/dumbell/bodyweight strength-building workouts. For someone looking for a simple, compact way to build themselves the body they want and improve their overall well-being while they're at it, though, no single piece of equipment will ever come close to the kettlebell.
Noah Ahmed - Silver Spring, MD USA

I bought the 35lb kettlebell for my husband for his birthday this past July. He is an avid kettlebell user and has convinced many of our friends into trying a kettlebell. He loved his 35lb kettlebell when he only had one, but is absolutely in heaven to have two. ALthough he does own a 55lb kettlebell his two 35lb kettlebells are perfect to take along to work for a quick lunch workout.
Julie - Alabaster, AL.

Just got an email from Dragon Door asking me to review this product. Okay, why not? I got my 16kg on 2 July and have been practicing with it every other day following the instructions in ETK. The practice consists of 10 minutes of warm up: wall squats, pumps and halos followed by 15 minutes of TGU practice and 15 minutes of swing practice. In between sets I perform the backbends Mr. Tsatsouline recommends.

In eleven sessions I've dropped 5 pounds, have increased definition in my core area (above the knees and below the chest). My shoulders feel like they never have before and my wife has complimented me on the tightness in my butt! I'm 52 years old, 5'-8'' 155 lbs. and am loving every minute using this kettlebell. I take it outside to practice and I'm amazed that this one chunk of iron is so effective. Can't wait to start the RKC Minimum program next month.
Thanks for a great product. I've been working out my entire life via various methods and this way is so simple it's ridiculous!

I shopped around before buying from you and your kb is the best one out there.

i have only been using kettlebells for the past couple of weeks and already i can feel the flexibility and strength improvements. not to mention the cardio benefits.
Klif - USAF

Excellent quality and a great price!I only wish I had known about these little jewels years ago,just thinking of the money and space I could have saved makes my head spin.I'm already looking forward to increasing my kettlebell collection.Power to the People!
Scott A. Parker - Orlando, Fla., USA

The kettlebell is an unforgiving scorned woman. Remember it doesn't like you and don't expect anything you do with it to be easy, but who ever got great results doing something easy. I really enjoy exercising multiple muscles to maximize time and training. I've only been doing the RKC minimum for a short while but it is keeping me in great shape. You truly won't need any other exercise equipment if you have this mean hunk of metal. You can take it anywhere. I take it everywhere I travel, I can't do that with the proper cardio equipment or dumbells to get a total workout. I may never use any exercises other than body weight and kettlebells for the rest of my life.

In just a short period of time have seen tremendous Physical Appearance and Strength gains never before realized with the use of traditional dumbbells. Highly recommend this product for anyone that wants to explode through plateaus and into a new realm of weight training. 5 STAR ACROSS THE BOARD
Dennis J. McKevitt - Highland Mills, New York USA

After using my 16kg now for the past three weeks it appears to me that everything I've heard about these kettlebells seems true, except that you need to buy two of the same weight. I am getting stronger quickly, am looking stronger, and feel great. Besides the workout strength and stamina benefits there is also a satisfying psychological benefit. My bad shoulder injured three years ago playing basketball has been fully healed by this cannonball. Ditto my golf elbow (like tennis elbow). Amazing! I just ordered the 20kg kettlebell. I appreciate that they're made in the USA--and beautifully so--and that also made me inclined to order more. It's a part of my life now.
Peter Dilorenzo - Bonaire, GA

In late 2007 an online friend of mine mentioned Kettlebells, not having a clue we went into detail and that lead me here to Dragon Door. Around March 2008 I couldn't stand idle any more and ordered a classic set of three, this 35 pounder, a 53 pounder and a 70 pounder along with Enter The Kettlebell DVD and Book which I highly recommend to go with the Kettlebell! When they arrived I knew my delivery guy would start to hate me, but thats OK with me. I opened each box and then lined them up, I can tell you they literally demand your attention and that you pick them up and let them have their way with yours weak body. It has been months now, and I feel and see a difference in my shoulders and in my general well being. Matter of fact, speaking of shoulders. Years ago I had dislocated my right shoulder, and it had bugged me with pain and discomfort for years. To my astonishment shortly after I started working with Kettlebells, I noticed I had forgotten it ever hurt and the nagging pain has never returned! They are very addicting and you will not be disappointed, in fact you just may well find yourself in love with these things. Fun, challenging and absolute dynamite! I now too want to strive to one day become an RCK, thank you Pavel for making me a better man!

Just add one 16 kg kettlebell and pure devotion and you WILL get results.
Erwin - Tucson, AZ

I started off with one 16kg, working with that one for a while. My brother treated me a few months later to a 24kg. Shortly thereafter, I wanted a pair for double-bell exercises, and jumped to a second 24kg. The first thing I noticed is that the bells come out slightly different if you order them in different batches. It seems that the glossiness diminishes over subsequent production runs. My most recent purchase was the sister to my first bell, another 16kg. Again, each of my four bells were purchased some months apart from each other, and I am struck with how different the feel is between each of them, mostly while doing upside down presses with a pair of the same weight.

I recommend buying pairs of the same weight so that they feel the same. I turn forty this year and am in the best shape in my life. I owe this to the last two years with my kettlebells.
David - Ann Arbor, MI

With the expense of this item it should include video workout to come with the unit.
Tracy l. Smith - Katy, Texas

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, I read all of the reviews and said, this almost looks like alot of hype; well, I can truly say that I have never had a more demanding or enjoyable workout in my life. I am 51 years old and my body was starting to get back at me for all the years of abuse I had heaped upon it. When I first received the 35lb kettlebell I remember saying how heavy it felt, it was actually hard for me to pickup. Now, after 6 weeks of progressive workouts it feels like it weighs only 10lbs and I am ready for a heavier kettlebell. These are truly amazing, very well made and durable. I couldn't be more pleased!
David Girdley - Orlando, Florida United States

I have never focused more clearely during my workouts while using the Kettlebell I feel like its me and the kettlebell. I feel every muscle working to its capacity and then some. The kettlebell gives me a challenge while it is not boring at all to say the least my RKC trainer in which I located thru Dragondoor.com gives me a training session packed with variations working the entire body, mind, and spirit as I have a good time training with the Kettlebell. I see results already in strength, endurance and muscle response. In given time I will be ready for the next size kettlebell. I have much respect for the Kettlebell and Dragondoor.com.

Aside from learning how to not destroy my wrists on snatches, this is by far the best single piece of workout equipment I have found. As an endurance athlete (triathlons, running, etc). I am searching for functional strength gains without additional weight. Especially for cycling and helping maintain strength on the runs, I feel like my brief stint of kettlebell training has really helped my shoulder and upper back stability. I might use kbell to supplant my entire lifting routine. A great time saving device as well.
Joel B - Denver, CO

Greetings Comrades!
As a long-time fan of Pavel and his giryas, I must say that I have never been so "pumped" over a ball of iron with a handle! Pavel's kettlebells are indeed the real thing when it comes to pure, scientific strength conditioning and total fitness. As a Tai Chi and Baguazhang practitioner, I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial the kettlebells and Pavel's exercise program is to someone who is interested in overall physical fitness. Get 'em...you will be amazed!
Steve Solomon - Dallas Texas

As I stated in a recent email to you, the finish on the kettlebells I recently purchased is quite inferior to some I purchased from you three years ago. The metal is very grainy and rough. While it doesn't matter on the bell, it matters on the handle as it makes it hard on the hands. If I go ahead and grind it smooth, like it should have been in the first place, it will take the finish off. That leaves me with a choice I shouldn't have to make, blistered hands or no finish on the kettlebell. With the growing popularity of kettlebells there are many other places to get them. I think you might want to have a serious talk with your quality control department. This applies only to all of the American made bells I just received. The Russian Reds from India are exquisite. A beauty to behold. Far superior to the black ones.
Stephen Simpson - New Castle, CO USA

I can't believe how much more dynamic and engaging it is to work out with my kettlebell. I really feel that unlike regular dumbbells I am actually building muscle that I can use through a complete range of motion. An added benefit has been my right shoulder which I injured rock climbing has improved doing halos.

This is the fifth kettlebell that we have purchased and we are happy with everyone. I have played sports my entire life most recently 15 years of rugby and this workout is by far the best. My wife has never played sports but has fallen in love with the kettlebell workout and now my daughter who plays basketball has found the benefits of working out with the kettlebells. We are making kettlebells a family affair.
Jason Schimizzi D.C.,F.I.C.P.A. - Pennsylvania

I am a retired Army NCO and have graduated to a "desk job". I found that it takes longer for me to "recover" from my workouts ie pushups, situps and 4 mile run. I have been looking for something that I can get a cardio as well as resistance type workout at the same time and still be able to control the level of difficulty. The Kettlebell seems to provide those parameters.

I especially enjoy Pavel's DVD, "Enter the Kettlebell". I can relate to the Task, Condition, and Standards format and he almost shames you into working out with his No nonsense "Spetsnaz" persona. His RKC regimen is the real thing. I think I will be looking good at fifty instead of feeling flabby.

Thanks Pavel.
Daniel M. Dieli - Monterey, CA

The finish on this kettlebell is better than the first set of KB's I purchased. Easier on the hands than my older KB's.
George E. Butler - Detroit, Michigan

The ease of use is the best thing about this piece of equipment. It really kick your system into action. Glad I changed my emphysis.
Fred - Newark, Caliornia

I am an out of shape 43 year old desk jocky. Too many years have passed gaining 10 to 12 pounds a year. I am 320 pounds at 6'0" and got tired of being sloppy. I have used the Kettlebell 4-5 times a week for the last month. I have gained 5 pounds, but my muscles are starting to to shape up. My forarms are getting tighter. My upper arms, shoulders, and abdomen are getting stronger. I feel better and have more energy. The best part of Kettlebell is low impact on my joints. At 320 pounds it would be tough on my joints for many conventional exercises (Running etc.) The investment has paid for itself allready because I had the beginning of carpal tunnel and couldn't completly close my fists. I now can and their tight! Thank you very much for a wonderful product!

This is one solid piece of equipment! I've only had it for three weeks but I'm already noticing its effectiveness. Even the simple “Halo” exercises feel great on my shoulders. As for the “swing” don’t let the simplicity of it fool you this is a very tough conditioning and strengthening workout! I heavily recommend the Book by Pavel “Enter the Kettlebell” to go along with it especially if your new. Anyone can benefit from this rather your just staying in shape or trying to get an edge on your sport competition! In my case brazilian jiu jitsu!

tony deep sea diver - san diego, ca

I work 50-80 hours a week and travel on business constantly so I was never able to join a gym or get involved with a club. The kettlebell solved all my problems because I can work out at home with just this one workout tool. Pavel's book and DVD, Enter the Kettlebell, are all you need to get started. I highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking to increase strength and speed. I would also recommend reading the book and watching the DVD multiple times before you start practicing. You can really hurt yourself if you use the kettlebell incorrectly.

I have been exercising with a kettlebell and I have to say I am getting in great shape. I have gone from 27% body fat to under 13% body fat in the course of 3 months. I have also gained about 20 pounds of lean mass. This product is great because I can do the exercises in my living room. I have no more excuses to not work out, no more excuses to be weak and out of shape.

I have been reclaiming my life and my kettlebell has played a huge part in the process. I highly recommend buying a DVD to learn the correct form. I am living proof that persistence, dedication, and hard work pays off.
Jeremy C - Los Angeles, CA

I recently purchased 16kg kettlebell. I think you can get a great full body workout with just this one piece of equipment. I have found the kettlebell to be a little tough on the elbow joints but I think this can also be attributed to my technique not being perfected yet. I was a little dissapointed with the DVD that accompanied the kettlebell in that it didn't have exercises for the chest, arms or upper back. But after performing some of the cleans, snatches and bent presses that were outlined in the video, the next day it was apparent that these muscles were definitely worked as well.I was also able to find some other exercises on the internet. Overall I think it was a great purchase and will be purchasing another heavier kettlebell soon.
Todd Zeno - Hummelstown, PA

After about 3 weeks I was able to see great results. After using the kettlebell for a little over a month the 40 pound boxes at work seem much lighter and i find I can toss them around like nothing now. If you're looking for a quick super-effective way to gain usable strength quickly the kettlebell is the only way to go. Your body only has one choice when using it, and that is to get stronger.
Mike S. - Michigan, MI USA

I've recently come across this website through another training program and I have to say that I love working out with kettlebells. My primary goal is getting healthy and the kettlebells have been an integral part of my recent gains. I incorporated kettlebells along with a healthy diet. I have lost 10% body fat in a couple months and I have gained 6 pounds of muscle. I've been doing the Enter the Kettlebell program. I highly recommend buying the DVD as well so you can learn the proper techniques.

I have ordered 4 of the 35 pounders. I have two that I use at home in Texas. Also, I have one in Chicago and one in New York that I workout with when I visit my grown children. At home I work out with the 10 to 106 pounders. I am 63 and find them to be the best exercise equipment I have ever used. I have heart failure and my cardiologist encourages me to workout with the kettle bells.

Thanks

Michael Lussier - San Angelo, Texas United States

The 35lb kettlebell gives an excellent workout. You can learn some basic exercises for free just searching the net, but I'd highly recommend Pavel's "Enter the Kettlebell."

I'm 6'2" and 190lbs. I'm not a bodybuilder, but I do exercise and keep myself in shape. I like the 35lber, however, feel I could have bought a 44lber to start with. Pavel even recommends a 44lber to start if you are a little above average. Average is defined as benchpressing less than 200lbs.

I'm now eyeing the 53lber! Apparently that is the standard Russian military weight. The 35lb and 53lb kettlebells make an awesome combination.
Jon H. - Loveland, CO USA

I came across the kettlebell searching the web for workouts, and decided to give it a try. In my opinion, this is the best investment anyone can make for their health. It stregthens your whole body, increases your lung capacity, and does wonders for your blood pressure. If you're out of shape it's much easier to swing a kettlebell than to go run a couple of miles, well, up to about the 30th swing! Definitely the best fitness product money can buy.
Robert - Bloomfield, IN USA

This was my first purchase from Dragon Door and it will NOT be my last. I was very pleased with the the service I received. From the time I placed my order I received e-mail notifications every step of the way, which confirmed purchase and shipment of my Kettlebell, which left me worry free. I received my KB in about a week. I am also pleased with my Kettlebell. It is a quality product which will last me a lifetime. For those of you who are interested in Kettlebells, I encourage you to invest in one. It will change your body in no time. A kettlebell is all you will need, it is a gym with a handle! Thank you Dragon Door. I will be making another purchase soon.
Enrique Gaitan - Seguin, Texas

It seems to be pretty amazing in regards to payoff vs. effort. More focus on diet (less sugars, etc.) and mastering a few of the exercises (not totally mastered =D ) with 2 nights a week (Monday and Thursday)for about 4 weeks people have notices what appears to be lower body fat (thinner face, neck and stomach) and increase muscle size (Bicepts and tricepts)

I was curious about the information I had on KB's from a friend. After using the 35lb KB for just three weeks I have lost 6 lbs and two inches from my waist. I feel stronger and more flexible with this training than with any other strength training I have used while in the FBI or in retirement. I wish I could share this info with all of my agent friends. I am certain my KB will improve the physical quality of my life for years to come. I hate all the time wasted on changing settings on my bowflex and other exercise machines. This is so fast and easy to get a hard work out. It just makes good sense to me. Thanks Pavel!
Lynn F. - Utah, USA

I purchased the 16kg Russian kettlebell a little over 3 months ago and its the best exercise equipment I have in my arsenal. Learning the swing and how to "tame the arc" has been a nice challenge. I'm ready to move up in weight and try other routines. My strength has gone up and the swing ladders get my heart rate up high enough it feels like I'm sprinting. Can't wait to see what the 24kg feels like.
Jason - Middletown, NY, USA

I was a little hesitant on which size to purchase, thinking the 16K was a little light. I have been working up to a twenty minute constant cycle, the total workout strains the cardio unlike anything I have previously done. Very versatile item that travels with me, since I am on the road all week, I throw the KB in my work truck and have no excuses to miss a workout. Highly reccomended!
Greg - Columbus, Ohio

Currently we are only doing about 8 of the different excercises with the kettlebell. It is truly amazing to see how much of a difference the kettlebell makes.
After just 1 month of using the kettlebell, I plan on getting rid of my entire olymipic style weight lifing bench with the lateral pull down extension.
The kettlebell does everything I need and I can take it with me anywhere.

I swim, bike, run, lift weights, and play sports, but never have I received a workout like this. Right when you pick it up it feels like you are doing something meaningful with your body--something worthwhile.

When my friends first saw me with this thing, they thought I was some kind of imbecile. Now I have a hard time ripping it from their hands.

If you don't want to dramatically change your strength and physical conditioning, please do not buy Kettlebells.
Paul Riley - Santa Ana, CA USA

Can't get a tougher piece of eqiupment with as many uses as the kettlebell.
Chris - Belgium

Due to a neck injury/surgery, I had to remove most of the traditional exercises from my workout routine. It was boring to be limited to stretching and mobility movements. That all changed when my trainer (RKC certified) introduced me to working out with kettlebells. I can get a workout without injuring any body parts and the 16kg/35lb just feels right in my hands. I owe my physical health and condition to kettlebell workouts.
Linda Walton - San Jose, CA USA

A kettlebell was something I had to take serious due to it's extreme nature. I have never seen anything like it in gyms or through private instruction. Since training with my kettlebell I've sold all other workout equipment. The combination of kettlebells with yoga are an extreme combo, one of which that neither dumbbell nor barbell can contend with. It should be said that Pavel has done a job which far exceeds any workout guru who shows his lame ass never-ending infomercial on ass flexors or aerobic phantom punching. Sincere appreciation for the introduction of kettlebells to western culture, Pavel. Thank You.
Tony - Los Angeles, CA

I've had my kettlebell for a few weeks now, and in that time I have convinced two friends and my girlfriend to purchase their own. Let me re-phrase that: the kettlebell has convinced my friends of its worth. You only need to lift it once to be a believer. It is deceptively heavy for its size and offers a unique full body workout in a matter of minutes. Once you clear the exceptionally short learning curve, the kettlebell figuratively beckons you to use it, and use it, and use it. In fact it's almost an unhealthy obsession as its addictive qualities do not mesh well with recovery time. I even take it to work with me, so those who are skeptical about finding time for it should be relieved to hear that the time finds you. To illustrate the love my friends and I have for this cannon ball, we have ventured into personalizing our equipment with kettlebell art by designing vintage world war II iconography (among other ideas) to be painted on the outside. Maybe one day this art form will be regarded as high art, telling the struggle for perfection, performance, and pain tolerance.

I work in a Wine and Spirits store and must stock upwards of 400 cases every Tuesday and/ or Wednesday. Before training with the kettlebell I would leave work on those days feeling obliterated and waking up with terrible back pain. Now after only a short while of using this incredible device I not only leave work with plenty of energy and awake with zero residual soreness, but I can also finish my work much more quickly. I am also a martial artist and originally bought this equipment for conditioning and strength reasons to enhance my fighting and performance skills, but now I know that that intention was close minded, for the kettlebell provides immeasurable benefits for all of life's physical and even mental challenges. If you are serious about your health or wish to gain an edge in a world gauged by accomplishment, then give the kettlebell the respect it deserves.

Ted Adams - Lubbock, TX USA

At nearly fifty years old and being a die-hard believer in the benefits of resitance (weight) training since high school - I can't believe my recent 'ridiculous to sublime' journey!

In my younger years, I would never work out with anything but free weights. However, as I grew older and as the availability of equipment, time and work-out partners grew more scarce, I began using machines and then began trying to find the perfect home gym.

Finally, after finding what I felt were the finest machines around (VecrtraFitness), I spent years getting what I thought were great workouts in the privacy of my home. However, since I could never break the 'whole-body workout' addiction, I would strive to get two to three 'full-body' workouts a week that would take me an hour and a half to two hours each time.

I just hated breaking up the body into parts or portions to work out. I loved that 'full-body' fatigue. But, I had to work out for long sessions, since I was using relatively safe machines to work out, in order to get the whole body worked out.

Over time, I developed some shoulder problems due to (discovering lately) that the machines caused due to the 'groove' the machines force you to work within (vs. free weights). But I didn't want to take the risk of working with free weights by my self.

So I started doing dumbell workouts. They were quite satisfying, so I thought - until I discoverd kettlebells!

Now - I can't believe that I can get such a satisfying, full-body, sweat-dripping, resistance anaerobic and aerobic, combination workout - and do it in such a short amount of time! And, just in time, since I was going insane and was almost considering seriously looking at the ultimate of expensive machines (the 'Quick Gym' or 'ROM" machine)!

So, now I'm looking for a home for my VecrtaFitness equipment and maybe even my dumbells - which will mean instead of needing a large room for all my equipment, I now have a portable gym that requires very little space or the wide-open outdoors!

It's the perfect tool. Versatile, durable (I know now)... Perfect.
Tabonga - Los Angeles

I am 56 years old, a father of two small children and recently returned to grad school for my third life-change of career.

I am also a life-long martial artist and the combination of a sedentary lifestyle and the need to keep fit enough for martial arts and keep up with two active kids is a continuous problem. When I was younger I did hard physical work for a living, but now the only exercise life throws at me is walking.

I've just started kettlebell workouts and find them an excellent combination of training for strength, flexibility and endurance - both aerobic and anaerobic.

As I'm just starting out, I like to begin with warming and flexiility exercise, move on to more vigorous form practice and shadowboxing (barehanded and with weapons) and finish with a 20-minute workout with the RKB. It's economical of my time, I only have to step outside to do it, and the equipment doesn't take up a lot of room in our student apartment. (Not to mention the fact that it's nothing the kids are going to hurt themselves with and/or break.)

I can feel the results already in my legs, shoulders and upper chest. In particular, I feel the lower back is getting a workout I didn't realize I was lacking.

I love the Russian kettlebells and I'm happy to see a movement back to an older philosophy of fitness training that emphasizes strength training for the real world of physical effort, rather than esthetic bodybuilding.

P.S. When I was a young man I worked as a garbageman for several years. The elementary clean of the RKB is exactly the same movement we used to lift the heavy containers on out backs to take the garbage to the truck. It kind of made me nostalgic...
Stephen W. Browne - Norman, Oklahoma

I own 3 kettlebells, this is a great product. The finish does not chip, the handle doen't tear up your hand. The weight has been a challege to work up to when doing circuit training type workouts. Will buy one more.

Kettlebells
thomas O'Rourke - boston

The kettlebell arrived just as described and has been kicking my ass on a routine basis since it's been unboxed. Money well spent as i've already noticed a loss in weight (about 6 lbs) in the 2 weeks of swings and getups coupled with my existing yoga routine.
The handle is rough on the palms, which is the only fault i can find in an other-wise perfect fitness tool
Horomancer - Norwalk, CT USA

I started using DragonDoor 35lb kettlebells about 2 months ago, and I am very impressed. I bought a 25lb pair of generic brand kettlebells from a local fitness equipment store when i first started using them and they DO NOT even compare! For starters the thicker handles are a huge plus! They helped improve my grip strength as well as the rest of my body, which is very important because I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I've seen a huge improvement in my physique, endurance, and explosiveness since using these kettlebells. I already placed an order for a pair of 44 pounders. Working out with DragonDoor kettlebells sure beats a conventional gym workout using machines, barbells, dumbells etc...ANY DAY! Thanks DragonDoor.
Joe Lopez - Philadelphia, PA USA

A killer addition to any type pf training reigime! You feel a new kind of strength in the first week! No matter if you are a lifter, or endurance trainer. Sack-up and get one... its worth it!

This kettlebell rules. The workmanship and quality show through. Unless global warming really gets out of hand and melts everything, I'm sure it will last many lifetimes. I highly recommend it.
Patrick - Atlanta, GA

Absolutely incredible!! I'm still amazed at the versatility of the kettlebell. I am a female, and after only a couple of months learning proper form and technique with the lighter 8kg and 12kg bells, I am now a POOD-er!! Thanks Pavel, for bringing such a tried and true training tool into the open market and public eye!!
Sharon - Myrtle Beach, SC USA

Dragon door has been fantastic to deal with. I ordered a total of three kettlebells for shipment to my miitary APO in Iraq. Dragondoor tracked the shipment thru the APO and kept me informed of the delivery date. I received my Kettlebells within 10 days in Iraq, pretty darned impressive. The bells themselves are exactly as advertised, great quality, and arrived in perfect condition. Can't say the same for the postal clerk who had to deliver them that day. I will purchase two more kettlebells from dragondoor, Russian Reds, within the next two weeks based on my success this time. My only complaint is the price of shipping nearly doubled the cost, I wish there was a way around that but I certainly understand that things don't get mailed for free. Thanks again Dragon Door!
CW4 Macs Burke - Kirkuk Iraq

I learned about the KBell from a Military budy of mine when visiting in San Diego. After one day of training with the Kbell, I fell in love. I placed an order for one 16kg KB from Dragon Door. "Fantastic Service" I was hoping it would arrive quickly and it did. I have worked out with your standard free weights since I was 8yrs old. Now that I am 30 maried with children,I am starting to get the agressivness, fight and youthfullness that I have dearly missed since 18. Thanks Very Much!

After working out with the Kettlebell my back pain is virtually non-existant. Pavel Tatsouline teaches you correct posture and correct use of your muscle through the Kettlebell. It will strengthen you in every way and give you a feeling of power that you never had before.

Steve N - Charlotte, NC

I'm not very disciplined when it comes to lifting any weights. I like to jog, swim, and hike. Push ups, sit ups, and pull ups make up the most of my strenth training because I don't want to gain mass. I want to gain strength and endurance. To this end I use a light weight kettlebell = 35lb. High repititions really kick the snot out of me, and I love it! Lifting releases testosterone, and . . . being a man, I like that side effect.
Dana Pohlson - Boston, MA, USA

I am a police officer. I began using the kettlebell at work with a co-worker who swears by it. I got a great workout with it and fell in love. Since I have a personal training business on the side, I began to learn more about it and then to train people with my own. They love it and the results are great!!

I have been so excited with my progess with kettlebells, that I have decided to take it up a notch. I recently purchased my second kettlebell and it's been amazing. If you really want a workout, get two kettlebells and purchase the Art of Strength "Firepower" dvd. You will be wore for days. As always, your company shipped the kettlebell in a timely manner. Thanks again for everything.

Best quality I seen so far. I had some other off brands and they dont compare to the quality of these.
John - Coatesville PA

I've found that this kettlebell is of extremely good quality and I am very happy with the product. The only downside was that the shipping to Hawaii costs more than the actual kettlebell itself. I feel that this will limit the number of people that are looking to possibly begin training with kettlebells. If there is some other way to get them out here at a better shipping cost, I feel that you may gain a lot more kettlebell practioners.
Bryson - Oahu, Hawaii

I had first heard about Pavel and his Kettlebell training methods from some friends of mine who were coupling it with their Muy Thai workouts. At first I was a bit skeptical given the seemingly small weight used for the drills, but even after my first intensive workout I knew I had found something spectacular. The Kettlebell workouts succeed in so many ways over regular weight training. Where benchpresses and curls leave only certain muscle groups exercised, the workouts provided by Pavel and this "Demon Weight" left my entire body feeling full of strength and very well punished. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get back in shape, or simply looking to up the ante on their current routine.
Greg Wilson - Santa Barbara, CA USA

The Kettlebell workout forces you to perform the exercises correctly , and they always stimulate the body. I know no
other exercise equipment that can burn fat and strengthen the
body so easily. After the first workout you will feel more energetic and confident. Its amazing.
Zig - Annapolis, Md

After three years of reading articles on this “tool”, I finally worked the nerve to buy two KB (same size). When I opened the box to see what a Dragon Door KB would look like, I was surprised by how small it looked. But when I started to do some exercises with them, I quickly discovered that the size of it had fooled me. What I mean is that I was huffing and puffing in less then a minute. Having done exercises with thick handle barbell & dumbbells I thought surely this is a one time deal… nope. Just like the other “tools” I use to test my strength, the Kettlebell keep surprising me with how tough they are at such a small size.

Also, to stay motivated, I decided to use the training journal Dragon Door provides (free of charge!). That way, whenever I feel like not doing the exercise I had plan, I just imagine all the meatheads mocking me and calling me a wimp. Now if you will excuse me, I have some Clean & Press to do.

I had been working out with the 26 lb. kettlebells (one in each hand)and enjoying them very much, but I decided I would try and move up to the 35 lb. ones. Last night I used them for the first time and, boy, what a total body workout - every exercise taxed my whole body. All the techniques I had been hazy about for the exercises became very easy, because there is no way I could have completed my workout without using proper breathing, tension, form, etc. with the heavier weights. It was definitely a challenge and that is exactly what I am looking for. A pair of 52 pounders will be my next order.
Sonny Ritscher - Los Angeles, CA

Nothing to compare it to! and I have. The real deal.
Migdoel "Dio" Miranda - Miramar, Florida

I recently spent a good amount of time working out at The Warrior's Forge, a high intensity combatives and conditioning training facility in Manassas, Va. Kettlebells (KB) are a staple of the conditioning programs conducted there. Ergo, I have had a decent amount of exposure to another model of kettlebell. And while I do not dislike this other brand, the simple fact of the matter is that I much prefer the Dragon Door kettlebells and will pay the premium for them. In fact my preference is such that I bought a complete series of Dragon Door kettlebells for working out at home on days Nena and I would rather do a home workout rather than hit the Warrior's Forge. Heck I even bought a starter one (18 lbs.) for my ex-wife and daughter (high school track star) which I will deliver today and hope they take the challenge. I believe KB training could make my daughter an even better runner and hurdler.

Michael - San Diego, CA

A colleague introduced me to the Kettle bell and I thought I'd give it a try. I like it and am looking forward to using it consistently. However, the Kettlebell did not come with a manual explaining different routines. I had to purchase "Enter the Kettlebell", which I do not regret. I haven't finished reading it but it has proven helpful thus far.
steve - virginia beach, va

I am in the military and needed a different medium to enhance my already strenuous workouts. I am so pleased with my progress since receiving my kettlebells that I have been trying to persuade the leadership in my unit to purchase some. It is pretty easy to pass the Army APFT, but, I love the fact that these KB's are making me strong, really strong. They have given me the power to do more than just train to pass the APFT.

I have Russian Kettlebells ranging from 9lbs up to 35lbs. They are far and away the best exercise equipment I own. They are durable, well made, easy to handle and versatile. I absolutely LOVE them! They are well worth the investment--I've no doubt they will last a very long time.
Julia Steiner - Cooper City, Florida

I paid the extra to get a kettlebell from dragon door because I had read that these are the best.

I was not disappoited. The 16kg feels much heavier than that amount of weight. Nearly all the weight is in the ball and not in the handle. In addition, the handle is very meaty and feels wonderful to grip.

Looking forward to getting another one to make a pair and then eventually a pair of the next higher weight.
Jason - Lexington, KY USA

This is my first kb, so I can't compare it to others. I do know how to spot quality when I see it, though. The handle is nice and thick for easy grasping. There are no sharp seams from the mold that will cut your hands. The kb is coated with something that makes it smooth and a pleasure to touch. This doesn't feel like your cast iron pots and pans!

Other people that I show this to worry about it slipping or dropping while working out with it. I don't see that happening. Once you hold it in your hand, you can feel that the coating won't let that happen. I haven't had to worry about my grip no matter how sweaty I've gotten.

If you're thinking about getting into this sport, I would recommend this product. I've read reviews on other sites from off-brands of easy breakage and sharp seams from the molding that basically make it useless. You're not going to want to handle something that will cut you. PS - I typed my review with paragraph breaks, but the submit form removed them for some reason. Thanks for reading.
David - Jacksonville, FL

On the box the kettlebell came in, it said "Enjoy the Pain". I've been doing just that. Dragon Door was the most reasonable site I could find for the purchase of and shipping of kettlebells. And the product arrived in a timely manner. Thanks again for a great product and great service.
Mike Haggerty - California

I received my 35lb Kettlebell about six weeks ago, and have been very pleased and surprised with it. I have not been able to perform bench presses over 100lbs or dumbbell military presses for about 2 years now due to shoulder pain that would persist for a week or more, the Kettlebell exercises have given me a chance to work my upper body with very little pain. I am still experimenting with the various exercises in Pavel’s books, and from various KB websites I have found. The Dragondoor Kettlebell is very well manufactured, has no rough areas, and has a nice glossy painted finish. I point these out because I have since purchased a 45lber from another vendor to save some money, and am not satisfied with it due to rough areas on the handle (I had to grind the handle smooth myself), diameter of the handle (grip is almost too large for my long fingers), and flat finish. The Dragondoor KB is a much nicer hunk of metal, and since you are not buying a whole set, worth the additional cost.

I found myself getting very bored with my normal traditional weightlifting routine and then I saw an instructor at a brazilian ju-jitsu seminar swinging one of these around and I had to have one. It's a nice change from your traditional lifting and I can feel how it works the whole body together. With just the one kettlebell I can do a whole workout in my tiny NY apartment. A great investment!
Keith - NY, NY USA

I have greatly enjoy the short but strainious work outs with one kettle bell than all the machines I have used in various Gyms. Lost 3 Lbs of fat in 8 weeks. I only do three day a week and 30 minutes per session.
Pavel's Enter the Kettlebell is a must to along with this beautiful one of a kind product. Ofcourse I beleive in calories in equal Calories out.

I would not trade it for the all the machines if some one gave them to me for free.

Thanks to Pavel for bringing it to us.

Kyle Kappenman - Watertown,SD USA

I live in Canada, I thought that I was paying for a pair of kettlebells. I paid the $70 shipping thinking that I was getting a pair. When the UPS guy shows up at the door I am told that I must pay an additional $50 for international shipping! And that the book that I ordered will not be here for a couple of weeks.
Therefore I paid nearly $300 for a 16kg piece of metal and a black and white book. Insane!!!

Ajit - Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

I have been using the Iron Core work out with the 36 pound kettlebell for almost two months. With at least a 2 percent drop in body fat and increased definition in my Abs and arms I am more than satisfied. I still occasionally do aerobics, but I don't get half the burn I get from doing the Kettlebell work out. I have to admit this is the best fitness purchase I've made and I am considering making the jump up to the 44 pound kettlebell in the near future.

Robert Grossman - Was Baltimore, MD now is Cincinnati, OH

More fun than dumbbells. More variety in exercises. More muscles worked at the same time. More strength in less time. My dumbbells are going to collect dust from now on.

The product is well made, epoxy coated, and shipped quickly. Thank you Pavel and DragonDoor for sticking to your guns and making true health and strength available to those willing to listen.
Mark Pearlscott - Seattle, WA USA

I bought the RKC book 3 months ago, and started doing the exercises with dumbbells. After reading several testimonials, explaining the difference of using kettlebells over dumbbells, I broke down and got the real thing for my wife and myself.

Due to my occupation, I receive a full physical examination each year. The results this year were a little surprising. At age 38, I did not train with KBs, at age 39 I started KB training. Basic results were: Resting pulse at age 38 was 72bpm. Resting pulse at age 39 was 58bpm. Blood pressure at age 38 was 116/70. Blood pressure at age 39 was 102/60. Weight at age 38 was 170. Weight at age 39 weight was 159.
My favorite test: Age of lungs: at age 38, my lungs were recorded as to have aged to 44 years old. At age 39, age of my lungs dropped to 30 years old. Gotta love that!
Of course I can't prove that KBs were responsible for the physical improvements, but KB training was the only thing I did differently between the 2 examinations. I can't wait to take my next physical examination!

Thanks Pavel!





romzilla - Atlantic City, NJ

The kettlebell is just as described and I enjoy using it immensely. It will be beneficial to my Ju Jitsu training. My wife on the otherhand is fearful that I am going to throw it through the wall!
Paul - Rapid City, SD USA

After a long absence from the world of real exercise, due to injury after injury, its nice to be back. I couldn't have made the transition back with convetional free weights and machines. The kettlebell has been my saving grace. After almost a year of rehab and licking my wounds the kettlebell has been instrumental in reconstructing my physique as well as the confidence in my ability to use my body again. I'm finally getting back into wrestling-shape again and have never felt more optomistic about my ability to acheive. I highly recomend this product and its brothers and sisters to everyone looking to make a dramatic change in their life both physically and mentally, this is second to none. Russ,age 23.
