The ordering and delivery process was flawless and the kettle bell arrived undamaged. There were unexpected rough spots on the handle that probably should have been cleaned up before shipping. Overall, a very good piece of exercise equipment.
Jeff Heilman - Lebanon, PA USA

If you started with the 16kg /35lb Kettlebell and need a greater strength challenge - take this next step. Helped me to focus all of the correct breathing and form that might have strayed when my other 'bell got too light. Next goal is to perform 10 snatches with this within next two months.
MCA - Seattle - WA

You can't beat a Dragon Door Kettlebell - they have a beautiful balance to them, and they feel so nice in your hands. I can't recommend them highly enough.

And of course, if you've never tried a kettlebell, you'll always be a second rate competitor.
Adlai Perry - Loxahatchee, FL USA

About four weeks ago I recieved my new kettlebell. The increase in weight has been a significant challenge for me, but I am slowly getting better and more confident with handling the weight. I own two smaller kettlebells that I use in conjunction with this one to vary my workout regime. I am finding the key to all of this is changing things up all of the time and using my own imagination to come up with tougher, yet safe workouts. I am glad my buddy Jeff introduced me to these. The recent strength increases I have gotten has been very beneficial to me at work and at home. Also Pavel's books have also been a great source of inspiration and guidance.

Brandon Smith - Marina, CA

I received my KB about a week or so ago. Let me just start out by saying the quality is second to none. I needed a 53er to bone up for my certification, that is coming up. I had bought some adjustable KB's because I was trying to save some $$$$$$, but now I can say that, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR THE REAL RUSSIAN KB!!!

Your name here - Sacramento, CA USA

Hello Everyone,

I started with the 35lb kbell, then moved to a 44lb kbell, and now am using a 53lb kbell. I am still surprised by the fact that 9lbs can make such a huge difference in the amount of energy you spend in one exercise lesson. I recommend the 53lb kbell to anyone looking to intensify there exercise lesson.
Brian Davis - Lakewood, Washington

Works great, will be buying more of the same model in other sizes soon,
Thanks
Thomas E. West - Pinebluff, NC

I haven't been this strong ever. Traditional weight lifting cannot build the raw strength and muscle power that this kettlebell can. In 7 Weeks of use I have put on 8 pounds of Lean muscle and increased my vertical leap by 3 inches. No more working out in a box (the gym).
Ryan Packard, MilwaukeeKettlebellclub.com - Milwaukee, WI

When moving up from 1 pood, I considered skipping the 1.5 pood and going straight for the 2 pood KB. Glad I didn't!

I like the 'epoxy gloss' on my new 1.5 pood KB. It seems to slide in your grip easier as you swing it.

A year with this one and I'll be ready for the 2 pood.

I just upgraded from the 16kg to the 24kg kettlebell. I felt I needed more of a challenge in some of the exercieses I perform. The 24kg delivers!
Andy - San Diego California

It's a great piece of equipment. The handle is very smooth and does not tear up my hand very much even during high rep practices. The thick handles fit my rather large hands nicely.

My results are startling. I've gotten leaner, faster, and my endurance has gone through the roof! I wish I had access to this product when I was in the Army.
Tim Russell - Kettering, Ohio United States

I just started training with kettlebells, and after two weeks with the 35 pounder, I upgraded to the real thing. After four weeks training with the 53 pounder, I already feel stronger, leaner, and badder. I hope to hit Pavel's goals in his Enter the Kettlebell book in about a year. Also, kettlebell training has helped condition me for rugby without having to compromise muscle and doing boring cardio sessions like hour long runs.
Rustam - Austin, TX

The Equipment is great. The only issue I had was the day it arrived some of the paint was chipping off. Not a real big deal because over the years some of the paint will chip off. It is nice to have new Kb to work with. Thanks Guys.....

I had been using a 16kg kettlebell for almost a year now, and because my "grinding" movements were getting too easy to keep to low repetitions, I thought I'd just move on up to 24kg. I thought it would be just about right to do presses, low rep snatches, etc. WRONG! "What's the heaviest weight you can lift? One you can't lift!" This bell is what separates the men from the boys, folks. My 16kg bell is named "pain," and this one is "more pain!" (But in a good way.) I can one arm snatch the 1 pood for three reps at present, and I can't mil press it for more than one rep. If your form has become sloppy, this little baby will correct it in a hurry! If you need more iron in your blood, this is the one for you.

I recently spent a good amount of time working out at The Warrior's Forge, a high intensity combatives and conditioning training facility in Manassas, Va. Kettlebells (KB) are a staple of the conditioning programs conducted there. Ergo, I have had a decent amount of exposure to another model of kettlebell. And while I do not dislike this other brand, the simple fact of the matter is that I much prefer the Dragon Door kettlebells and will pay the premium for them. In fact my preference is such that I bought a complete series of Dragon Door kettlebells for working out at home on days Nena and I would rather do a home workout rather than hit the Warrior's Forge. Heck I even bought a starter one (18 lbs.) for my ex-wife and daughter (high school track star) which I will deliver today and hope they take the challenge. I believe KB training could make my daughter an even better runner and hurdler.

Nothing to compare it to! and I have. The real deal.
Migdoel "Dio" Miranda - Miramar, Florida

i have the 16 & 20kg bells. i am pleased with them and was looking foreward to the 24kg. it's just what i thought. GREAT.
by the way, i was using the kb handles that you add weight plates to. these are o.k. but a real russian style kb is way better. also, i've had the opportunity to check out a cheaper & different brand and i do not think it is as good as what i buy from dragondoor!
alan daly - sugar land , texas usa

I began using a kettlebells two years ago. I began with a 35lb. and a year later went to a 44lb. I subsequently purchased a 9lb. kb for my then 6 year old son whom was beginning wrestling. My 8 year old daughter also started using the 9lb. kb.

My children would see me excercising with a kettlebell and "marvel" that anyone could even lift it. After learning that smaller kettlebells were available, my son wanted one.

Now I am using a 53lb. kb and, like my children, I too marvel that I can excercise with and manipulate such a unweildy, heavy object.

The results are amazing and "AS ADVERTISED".

For what little I know of fitness and everything I don't know, kettlebells deliver results. All it takes is healthy diet, desire and discipline--kettelebells do the rest.

Noah - CA

I love these bells. The new coating seems a bit slicker, but still, a great product. Thanks.
Thomas Fieber - Naples, Italy

I have been using a 1 pood kettlebell since Nov. 06. I have achieved dramatic improvement in back and abdominal strength(core strength). I'm clearly exercising areas that were not touched by standard weight lifting. I recently added a 1.5 pood bell which I'm slowly incorporating into my workout. This is a great exercise tool. It's also easy to take on trips so I don't miss workouts.
Paul Bumpers - Springdale, AR

I was introduced to kettlebells about 2 months ago, and I was hooked instantly. I've never felt this kind of pain, nor seen such immediate results, in over 20 years of traditional weightlifting. The combination of aerobic and anaerobic conditioning is unbeatable. KBs have given me a new outlook on all aspects of my fitness and diet routines.

Thanks for a great product!
Dave Arey - Havertown, PA

I like my new kettlebell, but I must confess that I like the old coating better than the new as it doesn't glide as well as my other ones I purchased three years ago. It's better for swings and grinds, but I prefer the old style for snatches, cleans and juggling. All in all it is still the top of the line kettlebell out there and I would not buy from anywhere else.

I have all the single kettlebells up to 84 lbs however I have never purchased a pair of the same weight. So, I just ordered a second 54 lb. kettlebell. Although I still like doing single kettlebells, with a pair of 54 lbs., I have added double kettlebells for good mornings, cleans, alternating presses, dead lifts, and farmers walks with IntoCombat gi sleeves. This has added another kettlebell challenge for me.
Dr. Daniel Rinchuse, DMD, PhD - Greensburg, Pennsylvania

This kettlebell is just like my other ones except heavier. I like the handle, its smooth but comfortable to grip. Can't believe someone can snatch this thing 275 times in 10 minutes. Already getting close to filling out a 5x5 ladder with this thing - the UPS guy is not looking forward to the next one - I can't imagen he'd even be willing at all to deliver the 48 kg. I took a point off because the DD kettlebells cost a fortune - nevertheless, my next kettlebell will be a DD as well, and the next, and the next...
Donald Dupuis - Keene, NH

I've only been working out with Kettlebells for the past three month and I can already tell the difference in strength. I already have one 24kg and with this one it adds to the pain. These 24kg's are only stepping stones to my goal which will be the bulldogs (88 pdr's) in 9 months. I Have used both of the 24kg's the past three days and love them. I wish I would of got a set of Kettlebells years ago.
Dan - West Bend, Wi USA

I started with a 16kg kettlebell and witin 90 days I was using a 24kg kettlebvell. I still use my 16 kg and 20 kg kettlebells but I am well on my way to my goal of using the 24kg kettlebell as my normal workout, I mean "practice", weight. I highly recommend getting the dvd and book and starting out with a lighter kettlebell but you will soon progress to heavier ones if you follow Pavel's instructions. My bad lower back is even getting stronger and regaining flexibility from using kettlebells. They are even improving my running and boxing workouts. Remember to take it slow and wok your way up.

Pat - New Jersey

I first head of girya from Russian and Ukrainian merchant marine seafarers, many of whom served in the Soviet Navy, not a few who were submariners. I work with seafarers passing through US Ports.

I started with 1 pood (should have chosen .75!), and I recently moved up to the 1.5 (24kg). It is primitive, brutal, and it kicks my Americansky ass. It cannot be used as a clothes-rack (unlike a chrome-gym!), and it frightens neighbors from my condo complex when I train on my porch.

RKC girya deserve their reputation for finish and design. I'm a fan of cast iron in cookware and in other fittings. It's a marvelous material which high-tech cannot improve, but it does develop surface rust. The finish on the RKC girya prevents this, and it is very chip resistant.

I did half-assed body weight exercises for years, but as I approached 49, I needed increased fitness for aging and for the stresses of setting out to establish my own operation from scratch.

Accept the RKC Challange! I now train five to six times a week, laddering from 20 minutes to 1 hour. I will live a very extreme lifestyle for the next 26 years, and girya is essential to my business and life plan.

My weight remains almost the same, but my pants are down one size. The sleeves of my polo shirts are getting snug.

While I never had great difficulty meeting smart and nice looking women, it is now much easier to engage random women in conversation during the day and make a date for coffee, tea, --or something else. And they now are more youthful, even prettier, and smarter.

I lived with chronic but mild depression for years (never used medications), but by the end of my first month with the girya, my entire mental attitude started to change. This is a fine thing not only for physical fitness but mental fitness!

Tovarich Pavel, Spociba!
"Chappy Mike" - Leaving Boston, Mass, for Hawaii, USA

WEll, what can I say. I started off about a year or more ago with a 44 lb. I worked with it; learned a few exercises and noticed the incredible difference in my exercise program. After a while, I knew I needed an upgrade in weight. The handle is slicker and that was a surprise but the bell snuggles up to my arm in perfect harmony.

Long ago I purchased two kettle bell handles that are like dumbells. You can load extra plates on them to increase the weight. While they serve a purpose, they can in no way match the real thing.
Don Rankin - Birmingham, AL

Just as I expected I got a top notch product (a 53 lb kettlebell)to pair up with the 4 others I purchased in the past. Could not be more pleased. Fast shipping, and tremendous communication from DragonDoor. Thanks!
Msgt William Carroccia USMC - Twentynine Palms, CA USA

I have purchased several Dragondoor kettlebells, and the other companies that make them dont compare. I purchased 1 from somewhere else(an 80lb'r), and the shape, size, and grip are dislikeably different. I only wish you made an 80lb'r.

P. Curry - Illinois, USA

I wish I bought the kettlebell sooner. I work in the Fire Service at the busiest station on the Island and staying in shape is a goal of mine. I was first introduced to the kettlebell workout in the year 2000 by a Fire Captain. He let me borrow his book about the kettlebell routines. At that time I was very skeptical about integrating a kettlebell workout into my routine, and I didn't. I was reintroduced to the kettlebell workout 2 months ago by a Firefighter who dropped off two of his kettlebells at the Station. Once again I was skeptical, however this time I started to use it during my workouts. Now I am hooked on the kettlebell workout. THANK YOU.
Pomaikai H. - Hilo, HI USA

Once again, I'm not disappointed with these products. This thing is well-made, and does its job well. It's fun to use and feels great. It is the perfect next step after the 44 lb kettlebell.
Nathan England - Missouri, USA

Kettlebells are a brand new world of exercise. I am enjoying working with these and have seen results already. After some 30 years of conventional weight lifting, I though I had seen it all. But Pavel's methods have truly made a big difference. I highly recommend these to anyone who is serious about trying something new.
Michael Bacigalupi - Sedona, AZ

It did weigh actually exactly 24kg. I have big hands so I should probably not complain, but I found that the circumference of the handle did make it a challenge to hold on to during high rep swings and snatches. I imagine that this could be viewed as a benefit to those who are working on improving their grip strength. For those trying to achieve the highest possible reps early, it'll be a drawback. The quality of the manufacturing seemed very good, but then, what else would you expect from a Dragondoor product? I bought it for two reasons. 1:I knew that the quality would be good and, 2: because when I test for RKC, I'll have practiced with the kettlebell I'll have to use to pass my test.

I've been exercising for over 20 years and using KB's for the past 3. Just recently, I added the 53lb KB to my repertoire of 35 and 44lbs. It's the perfect weight! I still warm up and cool down w/ the lower weights, but the "standard" as I like to call it gives me just the right resistance and feel for exercises like the clean and press and the one arm snatch. KB's are one of the best investments I've ever made and they'll last forever. They make the best portable gym. Bring them out in the backyard and get some fresh air and sunshine while you train. Enjoy!
Mike Shack - Long Island, NY USA

This is my 2nd 24kg Kettlebell, and my 3rd overall Kettlebell. After starting with the 16kg, I quickly moved to the 24kg. NOw I am doing doubles work and I must say that swinging two 24kgs give you a lung searing heart pumping feeling that single kettlebell work will be hard pressed to match. My strength, endurance, and size gains have been extremely rapid. Doing Military Press ladders has already carried over to my bench, no more sore shoulders, and my starting power off the chest is greater than ever. I recommend double kettlebell work to anyone and everyone looking to improve their strength, endurance, and body image.

Caesar Marciales, mbr of Old School Barbell Club - Westminster, CA

I started with two 36 pounders and worked with those for about eight months. I started to feel really comfortable with the 36 pounders. This is not to say that my kettlebell workouts were easy. I just started to feel like I wanted to take it up a notch. I did look into some kettlebells that I heard were at a major sporting goods store. That store only had up to 44 pounders. Usually, I am all about immediate gratification, but I didn't give in. I ordered my 53 pounder online and waited it out for a few days. I'm glad I waited. The bell is the same high quality that I expect from DragonDoor. I'm actually delaying my daily workout by writing this right now, but I have nothing but positive things to say about my DragonDooor expereinces, my new kettlebell, and the gains I have made in strength since I started working out with kettlbells.
Bryan Stoops - Chino Hills, CA USA

The quality of this bell is excellent. I have had other bells but this one is my favorite. The coating is great, the handle is not too rough or too slick. I would recomend DD bells to anyone. Aside from the quality of the bell itsself it has made a huge impact on my strength and conditioning. I have gotten more strength out of 3 months of kettlebelling than 6 months of bodybuilding routines. That was before I found out about the party though. Many thanks to Pavel and the party. God Bless
Zach - Nortonville, Ky USA

wow, if there ever is such a thing as functional strength; this thing delivers it. i started training with it and all the things people say got stronger; my hands, my lungs, my hips. i'm always carrying around 5 gallon jugs of water and they have become so light now. i just clean and jerk them like they're nothing! kettlebells are serious badass-ness.

Cory Holmes - Fond du Lac, WI USA

I just wonder if your scale is off, becuase it feels more like 150 pounds when I snatch it LOL! I love the direction my life and health are going thanks to the kettlebell and the party(forum) members at dragndoor.
Scott Wagner - Tri-Cities, WA

As an avid kettlebeller, I have purchased many of Pavel's products. However, until now I have never bought a DragonDoor Kettlebell. I figured that they weren't worth the extra money because kettlebells had to be pretty much the same. Well, I could not have been more wrong.

As I began to do more and more snatches I felt limited by my kettlebell: material, grip, handle, etc. Accordingly, I purchased a 24kg kettlebell from DragonDoor out of curiosity. The difference is amazing. I wish I had bought it sooner. I HIGHLY recommend DragonDoor's Kettlebells.
Eric Geyer - Beaufort, SC

I'm 55 years old and I started with the 16Kg kettlebell 10 weeks ago. When I saw amazing gains using the 16Kg KB I wanted to kick it up a notch. Glad I did. I call my 16 Kg KB "Bad" and now the 24 Kg KB "Badder." In two weeks I'm up to 5 ladders with 4 rungs and 300 swings. Enjoy the pain.

I have been training with kettlebells for a little over 6 months now and I am extremely pleased with the strength gains I have made. About a month and a half ago I ordered the 1.5 pood because the 1 pood had become too easy to press. After using it for various presses and ballistics for a while i found that the gains i had made had given me enough strength to do more technicly demanding drills with my 1 pood(bottom up cleans/presses, sots press with squat, as well as flipping and juggling the bells). Thank you Pavel for leading the way in what should render all other fitness crazes in this country obsolete.

After using my new 24kg bell I'm far from disappointed, the quality and craftsmanship is a bar setter. Dragondoor.com is the factory for top quality kettlebells. I'm a very happy customer with a new Iron baby!
Sean Murray - California USA

The 53 lb. kettlebell is one tough workout tool. DO NOT underestimate it. You'll read those words a lot and for good reason. No wonder the strongest and toughest men throughout history trained with them. I DL over 400 lbs but "practicing" with that bell made me realize I'm not as tough as I thought. It will humble you very quickly.
Mark - MO

I'm currenly staioned In Iraq. I ordered another kettlebell to be shipped here. It arrived safe and sound. The mailroom really whined, though. Now all I need is a sandpile (not hard to find) and a spare hour to get all the workout I need. The army really needs the kettlebell to be part of their TO&E.
Ken Bathgate - Baghdad, Iraq

Just like the Russians to develop the periodic table, they produced a tool to workout in three dimentional space. Once you begin to workout the kettlebell infuses itself with your essence. You will experience you entering the kettlebell and transversing back into your body during your workout. And just llke the "ring" in tolkkin's books the kettlebell will call to you. You will find yourself suddenly picking it up to do a clean or press or some other movement every time you pass it by. Best of all there are no bad workouts but great learning experiences.

It's tough for a novice to pick the right bell. After a month working with a 16 kg I was ready for this one and have made rapid progress with it focusing on Pavel's programs outlined in "Enter the Kettlebell". If you're an athletic male with a history of working out you will probably end up with one of these sooner than you think. For your reference, I'm 42 years old, not a body-builder, but have worked out (weights, yoga, boxing, Krav Maga) since my teen years.
