Our take
The Amazon Basics kettlebell is the no-surprise choice for kitting out a home gym. It is cast iron, with a handle wide enough for two-handed swings, and comes in several weights. Thousands of reviews make it one of the best rated in its category.
For functional racing it covers swings, goblet squats and farmers carries. Add NetroxSports non-slip lifting gloves if the handle rubs, and a Adjustable speed jump rope to round out a home training corner.
What we like
- + Sturdy cast iron, easy to hold
- + Several weights to choose from
- + Very well rated by thousands of buyers
What to know
