Amazon.com Product Description
Personalize your workout with the Weider SpaceSaver 40-pound adjustable Kettlebell. Also known as a PowerBell, the weight quickly adjusts from 10 to 40 pounds, yet takes up the space of only a single Kettlebell. As a result, it's ideal for several family members, or for performing several different exercise types without buying additional weights. Each PowerBell features an oversized, powder-coated handle that's user-friendly, non-slippery, and easy to transition from hand to hand. With a PowerBell in play, you can perform bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder raises, and a host of other exercises without having to dedicate an hour-and-a-half to your routine. That's because studies show you get the same cardio benefits with a 20-minute PowerBell workout as you do running on a treadmill for 20 minutes at 6 miles per hour, plus it works every muscle in your body.
To help you get the most from your workout, the PowerBell comes with a PowerBell Workout DVD that engages every muscle in your body. Hosted by former U.S. Special Forces member and professional Kettlebell trainer Michael Skogg, the DVD takes you through a full-body, functional workout that delivers real-life results. In total, the PowerBell supports more than 1,000 strength and cardio exercises, from basic moves to advanced routines. Finally, the PowerBell includes a fitness journal that helps you track your workout progress.

Clever design, but pricey and fragile
Well I was really excited when I got my Powerbell a couple weeks ago. The kettlebell workouts definitely get the heart rate up and give you a total body workout. Unfortunately, the Weider PowerBell has an odd shape to it compared to normal kettlebells. Making certain moves, like the snatch and the rack, a little difficult. Notice I said 'difficult' and not impossible...it just takes a little tweaking in the technique/form.
But the biggest flaw, is how fragile it is. Considering the types of moves you do with these things, like the mid-air hand switch shown on the included DVD, you would expect them to be pretty tough. Well, just this morning, doing a the mid-air hand switch I missed...and it smashed to the ground right on the handle and broke into about 10 pieces. Luckily, I got it from Walmart, and I got a full refund.
Other than that, I really do like the clever design, I would just recommend to anyone that does purchase it to avoid the mid-air hand switches and flips that you may see in some videos. Stick with the basic moves and it should give you a pretty good workout. JUST DON'T DROP IT!
Good idea, poor implementation
Kettlebells can be very expensive, so the idea of getting a few for the price of one was appealing. After receiving the product I used it for about three weeks. Aside from being noisy as the plates clank together, it was fine. Then the handle started to get loose. I thought to myself, okay no problem, I'll just tighten it back up. Took off the plates to look at the screws and saw where they must have skimped on the cost of the production. The top is a plastic plate which the handle screws into. The screws are at a nearly impossible angle to tighten. I finally found a way to angle in a bit from a ratchet set, and the screws stripped -- they too are cheap. I returned the product at once. I'll be damned if the handle is going to come off this thing mid-swing, especially after paying $200. Look for Kettlebells USA online and get the real deal. You can still get two or three kettlebells for the price of this one, and they don't take up THAT much room. Nice try Weider, but you gotta make it silent, sturdy, and easy to fix in order for this to be remotely worth it.
total fitness
An excellent product allowing my wife and myself to do kettlebell exercises using a weight appropriate for each of us. The DVD is great also with concise explanations and a short but effective exercise routine. Get wrist guards before using the kettlebells--makes a big difference in comfort while learning techniques.
