A vinyl-coated cast iron kettlebell weight
Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars
This 25-pound kettlebell weight is perfect for squats, lunges, cardio and more. You can also get it in other weights, including 10, 12 15, 20, 30 and 40 pounds.
Promising review: "These are solid kettlebells. My wife and I workout in our home and needed something that was versatile and practical for our small space. We actually have a bunch of these and they're great. We have 2 10lb-ers, 2 25lb-ers, and a 40lb-er. If you drop them or bump them on something, the vinyl makes it no big deal. The handles are a good size and they're easy to hold. If you do get sweaty they get pretty slick but just use a towel or your shirt to wipe off your hands and you're good to go. We'll continue to collect these kettlebells as we need more weights." — Drake Paul

A set of neoprene dumbbells
Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars

Promising review: "Anybody that buys a lot of exercise equipment knows that free weights basically cost twice as much because the shipping often doubles the cost. Being able to get these with free prime shipping made this a great deal. Also 12 lb Dumbbells are often harder to find compared to 10s and 15s. These were a great price when I bought them, and they have held up really well so far in the gym that I work at as a personal trainer. I would definitely recommend these." — Darren C
