BOSU HB25 (Water Filled Kettlebell)

Had it for a week, love it so far. I put sand instead of water which makes it heavier than 25lbs of water (roughly 40lbs) i can empty it and refill as needed.

With no end in sight for Covid-related gym closures, I started looking for ways to fit a semblance of a home gym into a tight NY space...I was looking for kettlebells, but I don't have the space for a set. The HB25-Surge Hydro Ball is a great addition, as it is adjustable for 5 to 25 pounds. I didn't have any leakage during my workouts; if anything, it's so leak-proof it can be slightly difficult to drain afterwards. The construction is an amazing quality: it's very sturdy with a hard tank and a thick silicone(?) covering. The handles are firm, but made from the same material as the softer outer coating: there's a bit of a give that makes it easier to get a good grip. My suggestion for an improvement on an already solid product: add fill lines for the correct weight approximation. Very happy with my purchase!

This really adds variety to workouts. You can fill it with water to 25 lbs, or add sand for close to 40 lbs. It can be used at 5 lbs and up to do cardio workouts. The Hydro Ball is very sturdy and the big handles make it easy to hold.Pros:Can perform many different movements / workoutsCan be used for functional training for sports like golf, tennis, baseball, etc...Sturdy / solid construction of the ballEasy to transportEasy to fill and empty to change the weight of the ballCan be used about anywhere (I plan on getting good workouts while at the beach with it)The ball seals and locks in the water tightlyAble to be used like a slam ballCan be used with any fitness level including kids (My 7 year old loves lifting and moving it around)Cons:No water level indicator for the weight of the ballIt does not collapse and is a little bigger than I thought (Think of a basketball with 2 handles)Not a lot of specific workout videos for the Hydro Ball, but you can adapt a lot of workout videosOverall I would give this a solid 9 / 9.5 out of 10. If you enjoy fitness or want to start working out, this gives you a lot of options and a variety of workouts for all body parts...

I don’t know why I was expecting something that would be flat until you fill it with water. It is exactly what it looks like in the pictures even when it’s empty. I guess I was expecting like a beach ball kind of thing? Anyway, this thing is great. It took maybe two minutes to fill with water and I can hold it over my head with the plug side down and feel secure that it’s not going to leak. It provides a really nice workout for those who don’t want to go to a gym or don’t have the room for tons of equipment. That was why I bought it. I don’t have room, nor do I want bulky equipment. This can slide right under my bed when I’m not using it and it is extremely durable and feels safe to store really anywhere. I guess the only very very nit picky complaint I could think of is it smelled very rubbery for maybe a day. Other than that, this thing really is unique, useful, and completely worth the money. I’m so glad I found it.

The ball is a little long for squats if your around my height 5’5 it hits the ground prematurely if that makes sense ..

I love how creative you can be with your workout with the Bosu HB25! The handles make holding on securely very easy and that frees you up to get really creative with different angles of presses, lifts, etc. It is large, so if you are shorter or a woman you may find that you catch the free handle on the floor if you squat deeply while using it as a kettle bell.I already have ordered the smaller round HB12 for my gym as a smaller one will be handy for shorter people to use as a kettlebell.

I liked that you can fill it up with water or sand.It is very durable and if you fill it up with water, it does not leak. I am enjoying my hydro ball.It takes my workouts to a higher level. I’m challenged more because of the higher weight. I purchased the 25 lb. hydro ball. Good investment.

This product is very well constructed. I was a little skeptical on having something full of water and there not being any leaking water during workouts. But not one drop comes out during our workouts. This product is great for my wife and I. I can max out the weight while my wife can lower the weight just by emptying out some of the water. Perfect for our quarantine workouts.

Not as durable as mentioned
