I'm a 58 year old with arthritis. I'm trying to stay as active as possible for as long as possible and began competing in the Scottish Highland Games last year. I've been working with Dan John on strength and conditioning. On his recommendation, I'm basing my training on the double kettlebell press, a farmers walk and double swing complex, and snatches.

I bought a second 20 kg kettlebell make a pair when I was ready to move up from my 16 kg pair. Kettlebell workouts have been easy on my joints while significantly improved my strength and conditioning. I feel much better prepared for this years season.

No need to repeat what everyone else has written - but this is great stuff. I now own 2 12 kgs, 2 16 kgs, 2 20 kgs, and 1 24 kg. Will likely move up to a 28 kg but it's getting pretty expensive. However, all the hype is true - you get a tremendously satisfying workout, far better than at a health club. It's all business, no b.s. The bang for the buck is worth the money.
Dragon Door's products are definitely superior to the others',

After purchasing a decent quality 35lb. kettlebell, I thought I would try a high quaility 44lb. kettlebell from DragonDoor. The difference is apparent and appreciated. This kettlebell is so much better than the cheap garbage available at my gym. The handle is perfect for my hands and doesn't tear them up. With cheaper kettlebells, I really need to wear gloves - not good! This excellent kettlebell fits my needs perfectly. I will be ordering the 53lb. one too when I get strong enough to handle it.

Having used a variety of Kettlebell's for the last few years (I have 12, 16 and 24kg bells from other manufacturers), i can honestly say the 2x20kg bells from Dragon door are far superior, seriously, you want the best, get these! I'll be buying the 24Kg set next.

This is my 6th order with DragonDoor and as always, delivery was quick! My new 20kgs had a more matte coating, not the shiny kind from my previous orders. I contacted DragonDoor via email and questioned them about this and within 3 days they replied, stating that the new matte finish is less rough on the hands. They are right, along with the excellent quality the bell is, the new finish is perfect! These are very high quality kettlebells and you definitely get what you pay for!

I started with a 16 kg kettlebell in January, but it was too heavy for me. I ordered an 8 kg bell and got to work. Soon I ordered a 12 kg bell as I got stronger, and then after several months I could finally handle the 16. In May, I was ready for another step up. The rate at which my strength is increasing is amazing. I was able to complete 50 cleans and presses with my new 20 kg bell the first week I had it. All my Dragon Door kettlebells are of great quality and I am looking forward to the day I can press the 24's.

Recently moved up to the 20kg from a 16kg. DragonDoor Kettlebells are simply the best. Well crafted, smooth finish ... simply perfect! This is the must own kettlebell. I see a 53kg kettlebell in my future. DragonDoor 16, 20 & 24kg kettlebells are the must own set. I'll never own another kettlebell.

Home Run!! Looks good - feels right - trains right. I'm 66 and expect to give to my grandchildren.

This is a fantastic kettlebell that I’d heartily recommend to anybody looking to progress past the 16kg kettlebell. For me, it’s the handle that makes it. It’s not too wide, not too thin, and fairly slick to work the grip but also to keep the skin fairly intact for high rep snatches.

I heartily recommend this product for a serious and amateur kettlebell enthusiast alike who’s strong enough to wield it.

-Power to you!

After making quick progress with a 35 lb Kettlebell, I felt the need to get a heavier one. My beloved fiancee bought me the 53 lb Kettlebell the following Christmas. I tried pressing it the first moment I had it in my hand. I was not ready for that weight, and I ended up causing myself some pain. I continued to work with this bell, not realising that I was ruining the good form I had developed with the lighter bell. I decided to buy a pair of 44 lb Kettlebells to do double-bell workouts. Working at this weight, I was able to correct my pressing form and truly earn the right to work with a 53 lb bell. I had read in Enter the Kettlebell that one should not chase after heavier bells, that there is plenty to do with a lighter weight. The Dragon Door 44 lb Kettlebell is the perfect bridge between the 35 lb and 53 lb bell. Dragon Door Ketlebells remain the gold standard for this type of equipment. I have tried bells made by other manufacturers, and none measure up to the small family of Dragon Door Iron I have gathered.
