Primal Personal Series Adjustable Kettlebell £149.99, primalstrength.com
Having space in your home gym set-up to house a range of free weights isn't easy. But anyone looking to maximise gains from progressive overload will benefit from at least three individual kettlebells covering a decent weight spread. Which is where adjustable kettlebells come in. Like their dumbbell counterparts, these clever and compact units cram a useable weight spread into a very small footprint.
Key features
Primal's Adjustable Kettlebell offers five weights in a well-designed package. The design has a rotating dial at the top, to select the weights beneath it. The lower the weight you select, the fewer plates the kettlebell picks up. Unlike some other rivals, such as the Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell, there's no tray, so you don't have to cart around an extra piece of plastic when you want to move the kettlebell. Simply select the max weight and away you go.
That said, this design feature is also a quirk that impacts the overall user experience, as the fewer weight plates you select, the smaller the Primal Personal Series Adjustable Kettlebell gets. In fact, select the lowest 4.5kg option and it's little more than a handle.
