If you are sold on the benefits of kettlebell training and want to give it a try, but are balking at the price tags, here are some tips to help you get a better bang for our buck. When you start looking for these for sale, remember these tips.

Buyer Beware
Before you jump on the first discount deal that comes along, there are a couple of things to check for first. Just because the price is low doesn’t mean it is a good deal.

#1: How does the handle look?
The shape and finish of the handle are important features and shouldn’t be overlooked. After all, it is here that you will grip, swing and press over and over again. At the very least, the handle should have a smooth finish that won’t tear the hands with extended use.

#2: Does it come with an instructional DVD or manual?
These products look pretty darn simple. It is a cannonball with a handle. How hard can that be? However, to achieve desired results you will want some level of instructional guidance. A DVD with live-action, guided workouts is best. If it comes with a manual, make sure it provides clear, step-by-step pictures of the drills.

#3: Does the company specialize in kettlebells?
Companies that produce general exercise equipment may offer their interpretation of this product at an enticing, low price. Such hasty iterations of the latest fitness wave, may overlook the nuances of this product created in the Russian tradition. Plus, a company that specializes in this product has a lot more on the line if their product gets bad reviews, so it is a safe bet that higher quality is assured.


#4: Is it a gimmicky design?
Adjustable stacking space-savers, detachable handles that convert into a medicine ball — these may sound like good innovations but amateurs and professionals all over the world have used the original Russian kettlebell design for more than 100 years. No need to re-invent here. Even if you believe in innovation, do you really want to be the guinea pig?

Lower the Risk for Buyers Remorse
Consider attending a seminar that has this product for rent or purchase at the venue. This will give you a chance to try out the weights with immediate face-to-face instruction. You may also be able to return it at the end of the seminar if you are unsatisfied or decide it’s not for you.

Purchase this product that come with a guarantee. Read the fine print. Look for inclusive guarantees to include the possibility that you change your mind or lose interest.

Take Advantage of Two-for and Shipping Deals
Look for deals that include one or multiple instructional DVDs or books. Consider opting for a second product of the same size or the next size up if a discount is offered. Finally, free shipping just might trump all deals (with requisite quality, of course). Remember, it is a heavy weight, people.

Give Up Your Gym Membership
This is the most radical option yet, but if you embrace the philosophy of this product, you may never need (or want) a treadmill or weightlifting machine again. Think about the hundreds of dollars that you would save every year!

Many kettlebell enthusiasts turn their backs on the gym forever when they discover how effective and comprehensive this product’s training can be. Besides, you can always sign up at another gym or go back if you change your mind.
