Perform Better First Place Gravity Kettlebells review

Perform Better sells equipment to coaches and training facilities and runs coaching seminars, and its First Place Gravity Kettlebells cover a wider kilogram range than most rivals. The product page lists 22 weights from 2 kg to 60 kg (132 lb), sold individually so you can build a set one bell at a time. The bells are cast iron with a chip and rust resistant finish, epoxy-filled markings and a smooth, flat bottom for floor starts and upright storage. Perform Better publishes the approximate handle diameter for each size, from 24 mm on the 2 kg bell to 38 mm from 16 kg and 41 mm from 48 kg. The warranty runs 2 years. Prices range from $27.95 to $264.95. The page shows that range rather than a price per size until you choose a weight, which makes comparing harder. Perform Better also sells First Place Competition Kettlebells in steel, from $64.95 to $279.95, for 8 kg to 48 kg.
