Friday Five #1: Kettlebell Training, Gear & Handle Talk

Every Friday we'll share five things we think are worth your time—training tips, gear we actually use, people we admire, company and product updates, and who knows what else.

Let's jump in.

One of our most popular USA-made kettlebells is finally back.

The Made in USA 20kg Apollo has returned to the shop in its official competition color, and we're excited to have it back on the shelves.

If you've been waiting for this one, now's your chance.

We've used GYMNEXT timers for years in our classes and our own workouts, and we wouldn't want to train without one.

Before we start, we program the entire workout—circuits, EMOMs, Tabatas, intervals, and timed sets—so once the clock starts, all we have to do is train.

If you're looking for one piece of equipment that makes every training session smoother, this is an easy recommendation.

If you're on instagram, Legendary_Pasos is worth a follow.

Based in Dallas, he regularly shares creative kettlebell training with Pro Kettlebells—from heavy strength work to athletic combinations that will inspire your next workout.

One of the questions we hear most often is:

"What's the difference between the USA and International Pro Kettlebells?"

While both are designed around the same ergonomic principles, there are a few key differences in handle shape, finish, and feel.

We've put together a simple side-by-side comparison just about the handles to help you choose the right Pro Kettlebell for your training style.

Every once in a while we make something just to see what happens.

This week, we painted one of our USA-made Pro Kettlebells white.

No launch plans. No secret product announcement. Just an experiment.
