Best kettlebells for home workouts

Top pick: REP Fitness Adjustable Kettlebell — one bell that clicks through 8–16 kg, so it replaces a whole rack in a small space. Competition-style shape and matte powder coat mean a consistent handle for swings, cleans and presses, and it's the best-rated of the bunch.

Who the others suit:

• Bells of Steel Adjustable Competition Kettlebell — for serious kettlebell sport or lifters who want fine 0.5 kg jumps up to 32 kg.
• CAP Barbell Cast Iron Kettlebell — the classic cheap way to start; buy one or two weights and add as you get stronger.
• BalanceFrom Wide Grip set — light 5–20 lb bells for beginners, rehab or cardio circuits.
• TRX / Nike rubber-coated — if you want floor-friendly bells that won't scuff hardwood.
• Yes4All 88 lb — heavy single for deadlifts and carries.

Skip vinyl-coated bells if you'll do cleans and snatches — the coating drags on your forearm.
