Who will the Kettle Gryp Suit?
If you’ve never done kettlebell training so you’re not sure if you will enjoy it, this nifty little device is the perfect introduction. It is far less costly than a kettlebell, it can be used with a broad range of hand weights, it is lightweight, and it takes up very little room. Along with saving space and money, the Kettle Gryp comes with other benefits.  
If you usually work out at the gym, you may have found that the one you attend doesn’t have enough kettlebells to go around. Pop a Kettle Gryp into your gym bag, grab a dumbbell, and you won’t have to wait your turn.
The device is convenient to use when traveling too.
Few hotels with a gym provide access to kettlebells and those that do rarely have a full range of weights. The ones on offer may be too heavy if you are a newbie, and too light if you are experienced. Most hotel gyms do; however, have dumbbells in a variety of weights.
Clip a Kettle Gryp onto the dumbbell you want to use, and you won’t have to change your workout routine just because you are away from home.
