Who is the 12kg Kettlebell for? This bell is for men who have not trained at all and have no experience with kettlebells or for a strong female with heavy weight training experience. The Apollo kettlebell has a smooth handle for maximum comfort and rubber guard to eliminate dings and scratches on the ground (assuming you don't drop it.) If you don't like the rubber plate it's very easy to remove. If you're looking for a quality bell at a great price they can't be beat. **Call for mass quantity shipping discounts.
