Favorite Gear Fridays - OneFitWonder OFW Kettlebells Review
FringeSport recently picked up a new line of kettlebells- the OneFitWonder kettlebells. We've have a bit of time to sell these 'bells and collect customer feedback, plus we've lifted on them a lot! We thought we'd use this chance to review the kettlebells. One note- OneFitWonder is FringeSport's gear brand.
In short
The new standard- our favorite kettlebells at FringeSport.
The pros:
- Well proportioned kettlebells- nice and round for less wrist/forearm pain
- Great thickness to the handles- wide enough for two-arm movements (swings), but perfect for single arm movements too
- Durable hammertone finish- more durable than most finishes out there, and holds chalk well
- Bottoms ground flat- no rocking
- One-piece construction with no seam under the handle
- Clearly marked with kilogram and pound sizing
The cons:
- People with very large hands may want a wider handle
- Currently available in limited sizes
The OneFitWonder Kettlebell review
There are a lot of kettlebell options out there these days- at a lot of different price points. OneFitWonder kettlebells are a relatively new entrant to the kettlebell market, but there are designed by me, Peter Keller. I have owned all major brands of kettlebell and I have been kettlebelling for 7 years, and selling kettlebells for 2 years. In this time, I've been able to notice and observe what I like about kettlebells, as well as get a lot of customer feedback one what our customers (who comprise all skill levels) like in kettlebells.
So, when I got the chance to design my own kettlebells, I tried to balance a few considerations:
- Newbie kettlebellers vs. old-schoolers
- WODders vs. kettlebellers
- Dual arm movements vs. single-arm
- Sizing conventions- (kilograms/poods) vs pounds
The OneFitWonder kettlebells are the result of the above considerations, and I think they are close to ideal for fitness kettlebells.

I would like to know if your kettlebells meet the rules for Kettlebell competitions in regards to weight and handle size?
Thank you!
