Ader Pro Grade Kettlebells are considered to be high quality kettlebells by sources such as the Colorado National Personal Training Institute, which uses Ader kettlebells exclusively. The CNPTI says that Ader kettlebells have a perfect handle width, perfect handle diameter, wider base, superb appearance and an excellent finish that won't chip, unlike other brands of kettlebells. Ader kettlebells come in a variety of colors including pink, blue and yellow.
History of Kettlebells
Kettlebells, also referred to a kettleballs or Girya, look like a cannonball with a flat bottom and a molded handle. They have been popular in Russia since around 1700, where they were used as a weight measure for grain. In 1885, a Russian doctor introduced athletes to kettlebell exercises, and by the early 1990s circus performers and bodybuilders were using kettleballs. As Kettleball Fitness explains, everyone in Russia from regular folks to Olympic athletes trained with kettlebells, which became a conditioning tool for the Russian army. Kettlebells became popular in America early in the 21st century, and by 2010 they were increasingly found in fitness facilities and featured in exercise videos.

Expert Reviews
In addition to the Colorado National Personal Training Institute, other experts praise the Ader brand. Rogue Fitness says the Ader kettlebells are "personal favorites. Ader has managed to produce a kettlebell line which has all the right features we look for in a perfect kettlebell." Rogue Fitness likes the one piece casting of the Ader, making the handle much stronger. Casting seams are ground down before the finishing process, making an Ader kettlebell smooth and comfortable. The bottom of an Ader has a wide and flat surface, which makes it more stable during certain exercises. Plus an Ader is finished with an epoxy that won't chip as paint does.
Considerations
Kettlebells can add a new dimension to your exercise routine. However, If you decide to work out with kettlebells, it is advisable to receive instruction from a fitness expert. Good form with kettlebells is essential -- incorrect form can overextend your muscles and lead to injuries
