Adjustable Kettlebells (Dial vs Competition-Style) + Freeletics Weight Changes

[susi12]

Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying an adjustable kettlebell and would love some real-world feedback from Freeletics users.

From what I’ve seen there are mainly:

• Dial/selectorized kettlebells (super fast weight changes, but bulkier/mechanism)
• Competition-style adjustable kettlebells (internal plates, best weight distribution/feel, but slower to adjust) （ChatGPT recommendadtion ）

I’m currently doing the Freeletics Ultimate Strength Journey and I’m wondering:

• How often do you need to change kettlebell weight within one Freeletics workout/session? Do you adjust weight frequently enough that a dial system is actually worth it?

• Which weight range and is one Kettlebell enough or are two recommended? I already have two fast-dialtype-adjustable dumbbells up to 20 kg, which I love, but also maxed out earlier than I expected. So the kettlebell(s) would be an additional tool.

Especially in Ultimate Strength Journey but I’d also be interested in other “pure” Kettlebell journey.

Any feedback on durability and how “natural” the kettlebell feels would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi @susi12 , I think you will have an option in the Ultimate Strength to say that you are sharing the equipment. If you tick this, then the Coach should assign the same weight for the whole intervals, reducing the amount of times you have the change weights.
I think that quite good for adjustable equipment.

However, the Coach will assign a broad range of weights throughout the journey itself or in between each intervals.

One or two will sort of depend how often you want to be changing weights inside an interval I think. I don’t think I’ve seen any “double kettlebell” movements, but I might be wrong. The weight rane should be wuite broad from 6kg to 16-18kg, depending on your fitness level of course. It’s just that you wouldn’t use the same weight for like a KB halo or Kb turkish get up and a goblet squat or kb snatch/clean for example.
