These are just plain cool. I don’t use them to work out with as I prefer my Fringe sport savage bells but the set of 4 looks killer and people always comment. Crazy prices on the resale market too

Paid insane price for these because they are cool as f***. They work great but are more of a cool piece than a need. If wanting to save money just buy a normal one. Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!

Of all the Onnit kettlebells, these actually perform pretty nice. No sharp edges like some of the others. Still over priced for a kettlebell, but they are cool.

I’ve got the 16 (chimp), 24 (orangutan) an 32 (gorilla). An unnecessary addition, when compared to a regular bell, but fun is important. They look great. Feel pretty balanced given their construction.

72 lbs in the shape of a gorilla is almost the perfect design.

I have the Bigfoot (and have most of them in the past). Not super practical but look cool and work ok for swings. Anything and they were hit or miss.
