The Spri kettlebell in this review is the Deluxe model: cast iron, vinyl coated, color coded and fitted with a wide handle. It is aimed at home and club users who want one tool for swings, squats and presses without marking the floor.
Below we go through what the listing states, how the colors and weights line up, and who should buy a different tool. All details come from the Spri listings for the 8, 10, 18 and 20 lb bells.
SPRI Kettlebell Weights Deluxe Cast Iron Vinyl Coated Comfort Grip Wide Handle
On paper, the Spri Deluxe kettlebell is a friendly first bell: the vinyl coat spares floors, the wide handle fits two hands, and the color system makes a small set easy to manage. Lifters chasing heavy competition-style work will want bare iron or steel bells instead.
- Home lifters training on wood, laminate or a mat
- Beginners learning swings, goblet squats and presses
- Small spaces where a flat-bottom bell can live on a shelf
- Competition kettlebell sport, which uses uniform-size steel bells
- Lifters who want very heavy bells for long-cycle work
- Anyone who prefers the feel of bare iron with chalk
What does the Spri kettlebell offer?
The listing describes the Spri kettlebell as a classic for any age and any weight room. It lists squats, throws, cleans, jerks, snatches and rotational swings as target movements.
Vinyl over cast iron
The iron core is wrapped in a vinyl coating that helps prevent floor damage. Vinyl also feels warmer in the hand than bare iron.
Wide handle
Spri calls the handle wide and authentic, giving a secure grip with no chalk needed. A wide window makes two-hand swings and goblet squats comfortable.
Flat bottom
The base is flat, so the bell stands upright for storage and stays steady for floor moves such as renegade rows.
If you want to see the bell next to bands and dumbbells, the Spri fitness picks page lists the whole range.
Which Spri kettlebell weight should you buy?
Spri color codes each bell and prints the weight in white. These are the four weights in our catalog.
Deluxe kettlebell weights in this catalog
From Spri listings, pounds
| Bell | Color | Good first use | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 lb | Orange | Presses, halos, Turkish get-up practice | 10 lb |
| 10 lb | Red | One-arm rows, goblet squats for beginners | 18 lb |
| 18 lb | Blue | Two-hand swings, goblet squats | 20 lb |
| 20 lb | Teal | Swings and deadlifts for most adults | Heavier bell |
A two-bell setup, one light and one heavier, covers most routines. Swings and deadlifts use the hips and need more weight than presses.
How to choose a kettlebell for home
- Pick the floor first. On wood or laminate, a vinyl-coated Spri kettlebell plus a mat is the safest combo.
- Check the handle. You want room for both hands for swings and squats.
- Buy for your main lift. Choose the swing weight if you will mostly swing; add a light bell for presses later.
- Think storage. Flat-bottom bells stand on a shelf; round-bottom bells roll.

A simple first week with one kettlebell
One bell is enough to start. The listing frames the kettlebell as a tool for strength, power and endurance, and a short circuit trains all three. Run this two or three times a week, resting a day between sessions.
- Goblet squat: 3 sets of 8, holding the bell by the horns at chest height.
- Two-hand swing: 5 sets of 10, driving with the hips and letting the arms float.
- One-arm row: 3 sets of 8 per side, with the free hand on a bench or chair.
- Halo: 2 sets of 5 each way, circling the bell around the head slowly.
- Farmer carry: 3 walks of 30 seconds per hand.
When the last set of swings feels easy and fast, it is time for the next color up. Keep the lighter bell for halos, presses and carries on the weaker side.
Kettlebell vs dumbbells: do you need both?
A kettlebell's weight sits below the handle, which suits swings, cleans and snatches. Dumbbells are easier for presses, curls and lunges with even load in each hand.
If you can buy only one tool, a mid-weight bell covers more full-body moves. If you already own a kettlebell, a pair of hex dumbbells fills the gaps; our vinyl vs rubber hex dumbbell comparison helps you choose. For a full kit that fits a closet, see the small-space home gym guide.

Kettlebell sport athletes train with bells that keep the same size at every weight; the Spri Deluxe line is sized by weight instead. Heavy lifters who need bells well past 20 lb should check the full range before ordering.
If you like chalk and bare iron, vinyl may feel too soft. For everyone else training at home, the coating is a practical trade.
The Spri kettlebell earns its place in a home gym on practical points: a vinyl coat that is kind to floors, a wide handle for two-hand work, a flat base for storage and colors that make a small set easy to read. Start with one swing weight and one press weight. Skip it only if you train kettlebell sport or want bare iron under chalk.
FAQ
Is the Spri kettlebell good for beginners?
Yes. The wide handle, flat base and vinyl coating make it forgiving at home. Start light, learn the hip hinge, then add weight.
What weight kettlebell should a beginner buy?
Many women start swings at 15 to 20 lb and many men at 25 to 35 lb, with lighter bells for presses. Fitness level matters more than gender.
Does vinyl coating wear off?
Vinyl can scuff with drops on concrete. Set the bell down on a mat and avoid dropping it from height to keep the coating intact.
Do I need chalk for a Spri kettlebell?
The listing says the wide handle gives a secure grip with no chalk needed. Dry your hands between sets for long swing sessions.
Are kettlebells better than dumbbells?
They are better for swings, cleans and snatches. Dumbbells are better for curls, presses and lunges with even load. Many home gyms use both.
Can I do a full workout with one kettlebell?
Yes. Swings, goblet squats, rows, presses and carries cover legs, back, shoulders and core. Add a second, heavier bell once swings feel easy.
