Empower Fitness 3-in-1 Kettlebell Review!

What Is It
The 3-in-1 Kettlebell from Empower Fitness is one of the few adjustable kettlebells available. With a three-weight adjustable system in the one Kettlebell, this kettlebell for women can be used at 5 pounds, 8 pounds, or 12 pounds. For those that are particular, I’ll let you know that the kettlebell is sand-filled as well.

Designed with women in mind, the Empower Kettlebell is ergonomically designed specifically for a smaller grip. The plastic shell is designed to be easy on the hands and nails to help you keep your skin soft throughout your exercise program.

The 3-in-1 Kettlebell system also includes a workout DVD so you can get started right away on your exercise program. This DVD includes 3 different workouts to give you variety and continued results. If you don’t have the time to watch the DVD, there’s also an online guide that guides and instructs you through various exercises that you can do with your new kettlebell.

Changing the Kettlebell weights is extremely simple. There’s a small button on one of the sides of the kettlebell. You push down this button for the corresponding weight you want to use, and then twist the kettlebell. The extra “weights” will then just slip off, and you’ll be left with only the weight that you want to use. Changing the weight takes less than ten seconds, so you can easily use various weights during your workout with no problem.

My Opinion
I was a bit afraid that the mechanism that holds the Kettlebell weights together wouldn’t do its job, but I was pleasantly surprised. The 3-in-1 Kettlebell holds together really well, and the other weights don’t even “jiggle” at all. I swung this thing around pretty violently for testing purposes, and the weights didn’t even seem to move. The weights don’t twist or move, and once they’re “clicked” into place, they seem to stay there until you release them again. Once the lock starts wearing out, you should probably consider replacing them, but up until then, I trust the 3-in-1 Kettlebell to stay in one place throughout my exercises which is good for the health of the furniture in my living room.

I also thought that changing the weights would be a pain, but I was pleasantly surprised. Changing the weights takes less than ten seconds, and even doing it for the first time, it look less than a minute. The entire system is very intuitive, and even with sweaty hands, I had no problem changing out the weights on this. It’s just as simple to add the weights back on, so switching the weights throughout my workout is absolutely no issue. It’s a slight pain (since I have to switch them in the first place), but the entire process is really simple, and it REALLY beats having to store three kettlebells versus just having to store the one. We love to keep as much space as possible.

In some positions and with your hands sweaty enough, the 3-in-1 Kettlebell does get slightly uncomfortable to hold. I don’t think this is a fault with the kettlebell, though. I just think that any kettlebell with a decent amount of weight might get uncomfortable in some positions and with heavier movement. It’s just something to keep in mind if you were expecting the kettlebell to cause absolutely no discomfort. It does have some, in some positions, but for the most part, it’s more comfortable than a lot of the other kettlebells that I’ve used.

Something that works my muscles a bit harder is the fact that I can feel the weight in the Kettlebell “shifting” during use. This really challenges my muscles, a lot, to keep the weight steady. This does make the exercise more difficult, but when the purpose is to work your muscles, difficulty is a good thing. This does make the kettlebells work you that much harder, so don’t think that the weights are just going to be small and easy – they can definitely work you.

Pros
The 3-in-1 Kettlebell is extremely simple to use. Depending on what muscles you want to work, the ability to switch the weights on the fly is very helpful. This woman’s kettlebell is soft on the hands, and it’s easy to hold. I have no complaints about it!

Cons
None!
