Hi guys

I am looking to buy kettlebells here in Korea but they seem to be quite elusive. Can anyone give me any solid leads as to where I can purchase them? A store or online site would suffice.

Gmarket seems to be very confusing let alone expensive!

Thanks for your help in advance.

speed and power website listed above is where my friend got his.
There's a gym in Ttuksam Resort Stn. that does a lot of kettlebell training. If you're interested, PM me. You can probably also get your kettlebells through them, if you can't navigate the Korean website.

The big problem with buying online would be not knowing the proper weight to begin with.

If a person doesn't have any weights or go to a gym and wants to start working out with kettlebells, I imagine that they should go to one and lift a regular dumbbell above their head.

Alleviates the headaches of having to buy the wrong bell and the those of shipping it back to exchange.

Thanks for the info guys. I emailed the people at Speed and Power and they speak good English. I was able to order some for delivery today without having to navigate the website.

Perfect!

Speed and Power is very reliable and probably the best place in Korea to buy them. I've bought 2 sets (ea) of 12's, 16's and 24 kg from them. Delivery was fast and not very expensive considering you're buying dozens of pounds of pig iron.
