Product Information

Despite the rise in popularity of gym class experiences in the home, I find the whole business of working out in a bedroom or living room a bit weird. Having to shift a coffee table to bound around in front of the TV or sweating all over a rug in the hallway is just odd. But hey, it's cheaper than a gym membership, so I get it. I'm no professional kettlebell athlete but I'd wager good money anyone seriously into their classes would agree that the JaxJox unit just doesn't feel quite right.

It also features a wide handle that’s easy to grip with one or both hands, as well as a flat bottom for easy storage. Unsheathe the JaxJox from its relatively large box and the first thing to hit you is its size. Anyone who spends any time in the gym will know that the majority of kettlebells are fashioned from cast iron or something equally brutish, but they come in a spread if shapes and sizes. You can use kettlebells instead of dumbbells to build great upper body strength. The feeling and effect of each exercise will be slightly different because the bulk of the weight of a kettlebell is positioned under the handle instead of on either side of the handle like it would be if you were using a dumbbell. Unfortunately, that's sort of where the experience stops, as it is up to the user to watch one of the many Vimeo-based workout videos (that often didn't work for us when used within the app) and kettlebell along with a guy in a strange orange room.Thanks to them, with their awful name and clever tech, you can now get an innovative kettlebell unit that sits on an electronic weights base, which allows you to adjust the mass of the bell at the touch of a button. A kettlebell with a spread of 5kg to 19kg is effectively condensed into one unit. For kettlebell swings and other dynamic movements that use momentum as part of the exercise, you can often choose a heavier weight because you’re using momentum to move the kettlebell in addition to your muscles. But for now, it counts and collects reps, sets, weight used time spent exercising over a week and encourages you to do a bit more. The unit itself sits on an electronic base with simple plus and minus buttons for adjusting the amount of weight secured inside the exterior shell. This unit has to be plugged into the wall but when fully charged, it last around 14 hours without a power source.

Kettlebells can add resistance to a wide variety of lower body moves in place of dumbbells, barbells, or medicine balls. You can also add an extra challenge by holding only one kettlebell at a time, which means you’ll have to use your core to stay balanced. Rather than buying a set of kettlebells, this 6-in-1 machine is adjustable from 8–40 lbs. (3.6–18.1 kg) by simply turning the dial located at the top of the kettlebell. Although rumour has it that JaxJox plans to take the route of Peloton etc. and open up a subscription-based workout channel that could see you swinging along to a live instructor in the future. Standard kettlebells will go up in size as the weight increases. A 20-lb. (9-kg) kettlebell, for example, will be larger than a 10-lb. (4.5-kg) kettlebell. However, it’s important to note that the Kettle Gryp only fits dumbbells with handles that are at least 4.5 inches (11.3 cm) long and no more than 1.5 in. (3.6 cm) in diameter.Kettlebells are cast iron or vinyl ball-shaped weights with a handle attached at the top. There are all sorts of kettlebells on the market, including rubber encased, vinyl covered, neoprene covered and even selectorised kettlebells. Kettlebells that have a protective cover are popular as they cause less damage and are quieter if dropped.

This is an adjustable kettlebell bag that you can fill with sand, emptying and refilling it for a portable option. Finally, and slightly nannying-ly, a kettlebell isn't like a treadmill or an exercise bike, where the risk of injury among the uninitiated is fairly low. Here, you're literally swinging 19kg of metal between your legs and it's very easy to get things wrong. Call me a traditionalist but for that reason alone, I'd strongly suggest trying a good ol' fashioned, face-to-face class with a trained instructor before delving into the realm of JaxJox… JaxJox KettlebellConnect review: also consider
