You must be interested in Kettlebell Training if you found your way here. This page lists quality resources from which to purchase Kettlebell Equipment.
There is no sense spending any more money on Kettlebells than you have to. But, you have to be careful with some of these discount places. It's better to pay a little more to a reputable outfit than to take a chance with some fly by night company.
Kettlebell Types:
Your basic kettlebell is cast iron, and painted black. For a higher price you get them in exciting fashion colors. Handle shape and thickness varies with manufacturer. A standard thickness is about 1.5" in diameter.
Kettlebells now come with a vinyl coating on them. This coating will help protect the flooring in your workout area.
Adjustable kettlebells are another option to consider. As you gain strength, you add more plates.
Shipping:
Kettlebells are obviously heavy items to ship, so try to find a supplier with a warehouse close to you. Some kettlebells are even shipped from China.
