What weight kettlebell or dumbbell should I start with?

Most beginners start too heavy. A good starting point:

• Kettlebells: 6–8kg for most women, 10–12kg for most men, for swings, goblet squats and cleans
• Dumbbells: 2–5kg per hand for beginners doing isolation exercises (curls, lateral raises); 8kg+ for compound moves like presses and rows once form is solid

It’s easier and cheaper to buy light and add a heavier pair later than to buy heavy and struggle with form. Our range is priced to make building up a set gradually straightforward. See our 2kg, 6kg and 16kg kettlebells.

Adjustable vs. fixed-weight | which is right for your space?

Fixed-weight dumbbells and kettlebells are simpler, sturdier, and usually cheaper per kg. They’re the better choice if you have a bit of storage space and want to build a proper set over time.

Adjustable dumbbells pack multiple weights into one compact unit ideal for small bedrooms, flats, or anywhere floor space is tight. You trade some convenience (adjusting between exercises takes a few seconds) for a big space saving.

If you’re not sure, start with one adjustable set for versatility, then add fixed kettlebells as you settle into a routine.

Dumbbells vs. kettlebells | what’s the difference in training?

• Dumbbells suit controlled, single-joint movements — bicep curls, shoulder presses, chest flyes — and are easiest for beginners to learn with.
• Kettlebells suit dynamic, full-body movements — swings, cleans, Turkish get-ups — that combine strength and cardio in one motion.

Most home gyms benefit from having both rather than choosing one over the other.

Storage tips for small spaces

• A simple floor rack (like our dumbbell storage rack set) keeps weights tidy and prevents trip hazards
• Rubber or hex-shaped weights won’t roll when set down — worth prioritising if you’re short on space to lay them flat
• Under-bed storage boxes work well for kettlebells if you don’t have room for a rack

Frequently asked questions

How heavy a kettlebell do I need for beginners?
Most beginners start around 6–8kg (women) or 10–12kg (men) for swings and goblet squats, then add a heavier one as strength improves.

Are adjustable dumbbells as good as fixed weights?
Yes for most home use — they’re slightly slower to switch between exercises, but save significant space and cost less than buying multiple fixed pairs.

Can I build muscle with just dumbbells and kettlebells at home?
Yes. Combined with a bench, dumbbells and kettlebells can cover the full range of strength exercises most people need, without a rack of fixed gym machines.
