Bala Kettleball, Soft Kettlebell for Women – Kettlebells Strength & Core Training Equipment for Home Gym Workouts – Anti-Slip Grip Exercise Weights with Cushioned Impact-Resistant Base

The best indoor kettlebell I’ve seen by far
So this is by far the best soft kettlebell that I’ve seen in terms of style and build quality, but there are a few things I need to point out.The handle is smooth and feels good despite it being plastic, the downside, however, is that at least on my hand, two hand swings are very uncomfortable because the window to place your hands is smaller than a normal kettle bell.But the trade-off is the vertical portion of the handle is much larger than a normal kettle bell so it makes something like goblet squats, much easier and more comfortable.I have the 30 pound version and it’s not crazy big, maybe about the size of a competition kettlebell or slightly smaller.And there is very little chance that this would harm your floor, even if dropped by accident.I initially was going to use this as something like a slam ball where I could essentially throw it to the ground from the handle grip, but after inspecting it, I don’t want to break the handle off of the soft bell so this will end up being my office kettlebell for when I need movement during a workday that I can’t leave my desk.I’m a guy, so 30 pounds is a good weight for casual movement, sport practice or many functional training exercises.Even for some kettlebell flow or juggling movements, this is actually a good option because you can do things like rack catching in. It doesn’t hurt your hand or forearm as much as metal would.And basically all this is is a plastic handle attached to a rubber-ish material and some sand in the middle, but it’s well constructed, and it looks good even in a well designed environment. Like this would not look out of place in a designer office or home gym.

Works Well for Swings and Deadlifts; Dimensions Differ From the Listing
I ordered the Bala Soft Kettlebell in the 20‑lb weight because it’s the next step up for my home workouts, and I was curious about trying a soft kettlebell. The handle is firm like a traditional kettlebell and feels comfortable in my hands. I can also see the appeal of the soft exterior: if set down a little too hard, it lands with a muted thud instead of a loud bang.I was surprised by the size of this kettlebell. The product listing shows the same dimensions for all three weights (10, 20, and 30 lb): 7″ wide, 7″ long, and 10″ “thick.” But the actual measurements of the 20‑lb kettlebell are roughly 11 inches from base to top of handle, with the base diameter at about 8 inches. It’s significantly bulkier than my 15‑lb iron kettlebell and even larger than the 35‑lb kettlebells at my gym.The size affects how it handles. I can use it for swings and deadlifts, but I found it awkward for goblet squats and unsuitable for halos. One advantage of traditional kettlebells is their compact geometry, and when the shape changes, the feel of the weight changes with it.I’ll make do. I realize that the “soft” feature requires extra padding that will naturally take up more space. But buyers who rely on product dimensions to plan storage should be aware that the listed measurements don’t match the actual size.For comparison, other brands offer soft kettlebells of the same weight at about half the cost, which may matter for budget‑minded buyers.
