class=\"ffm-lead\">One kettlebell, three, or even eight: The question of the number decides more about your progress than the question of the brand. Here is which gradation really brings results and from when a set is the poorer choice.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"ffm-byline\">From <strong>Dominic Bertschin<\/strong>, Head of Marketing at Fitness-Flohmarkt \u00b7 Updated: 08\/07\/2026<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-box\">\n<p class=\"ffm-box-label\">In short<\/p>\n<p>To start, a single kettlebell is enough. As soon as you train regularly, you will need two to three weights: a lighter one for overhead exercises, a heavier one for swings and squats. A complete kettlebell set with eight increments is only worth it if several people are training at the same time, such as in a gym, a club, or a physical therapy practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-choices\">\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/kettlebell-cast-iron\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">I am just starting<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">A single bullet<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">12 steps from 4 to 48 kg, individually selectable<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/cast-iron-kettlebell-set-4-to-12-kg\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">I want to start in stages<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">3-pack 4 to 12 kg<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">Cast iron, CHF 90.-<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/soft-kettlebell-set-4-to-12-kg\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">parquet, laminate, rehab<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">Soft-Set 4 to 12 kg<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">Sand core, gentle on the soil, CHF 68.-<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/adjustable-kettlebell\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">Little space<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">Adjustable kettlebell<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">Six levels in one device<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/cast-iron-kettlebell-set-4-to-32-kg\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">Studio, club, practice<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">Set of dumbbells 4 to 32 kg<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">144 kg training weight, CHF 545.00<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<a class=\"ffm-choice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/category-2\/dumbbells-weights\/kettlebells\/\">\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-case\">I want to see everything<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-title\">Entire category<\/span>\n<span class=\"ffm-choice-hint\">Single balls, sets and accessories<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">The core question<\/p>\n<h2>How many kettlebells do you really need?<\/h2>\n<p>The honest answer depends on how far along you are. Which type of construction actually suits you is clarified by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/kettlebell-buying-guide\/\">Kettlebell Buying Guide<\/a>; here it is solely about quantity and gradation. For the first few months, a single kettlebell is enough because practically all fundamental exercises run with a single kettlebell: swing, goblet squat, deadlift, clean and press, Turkish get-up. As soon as the technique is down, you hit a limit that has nothing to do with strength. For overhead pressing movements, you need significantly less weight than for hip-driven swings. With only one kettlebell, therefore, one of the two exercises is always incorrectly loaded, either too light for swinging or too heavy for pressing. From this point on, the second weight is the biggest improvement you can buy for little money. A third is added when you want to train with two arms or when more than one person uses the equipment. Everything beyond that is equipment, not progress.<\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, this means: buy the first kettlebell individually, train with it for eight to twelve weeks, and only buy the second weight when you notice where you're struggling. This is the path you take with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/kettlebell-cast-iron\/\">single cast-iron kettlebell<\/a>, which are available in twelve stages from 4 to 48 kg. The downside: you pay for shipping twice and make a decision twice. That is precisely why sets exist, and exactly why they aren't automatically the better purchase.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">Three paths, one goal<\/p>\n<h2>Individual, set, or adjustable: which way suits you?<\/h2>\n<p>There are three ways to get multiple weights, and they differ less in price than in behavior. Buying individually is the slowest and the most honest: you buy the exact weight you currently need and learn along the way which level you are actually missing. A kettlebell set takes this decision away from you and delivers a ready-made progression, typically 4, 8, and 12 kg as a three-pack or eight levels up to 32 kg. That saves mental effort and usually a bit of money per kilo, but it costs space and commits you to a specific increment. Finally, the adjustable kettlebell packs multiple levels into one housing: one device, one storage spot, but a larger, more angular body and an adjustment mechanism that takes a few seconds between sets. Which path is right is decided less by your training level than by your living situation and the question of whether you like ordering twice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Away<\/th><th>What you get<\/th><th>Gradation<\/th><th>Space requirement<\/th><th>That works if<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Single purchase<\/td><td>Exactly one scoop per order, from CHF 14.40<\/td><td>Freely selectable, 4 kg increments up to 48 kg<\/td><td>Grows with every purchase<\/td><td>You are at the beginning or specifically closing a gap<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Kettlebell Set<\/td><td>3 or 8 balls in fixed gradation, CHF 68.- to CHF 545.-<\/td><td>Predefined, immutable<\/td><td>0.5 to a good 1 m\u00b2 plus shelf<\/td><td>Several people are training or you don't want to decide again<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Adjustable kettlebell<\/td><td>A 6-speed device, CHF 115.-<\/td><td>3,5 \/ 5,5 \/ 9 \/ 11 \/ 16 \/ 18 kg<\/td><td>A pitch, 32 cm high<\/td><td>Space is tight and you stay up to 18 kg<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Who has little space, but still wants several steps, is with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/adjustable-kettlebell\/\">adjustable kettlebell with six levels<\/a> best served from 3.5 to 18 kg. It replaces six balls in the space of one, measures 32 cm in height and 22.5 cm in width, and covers the range where most home workouts take place. Those who train dynamically and with high repetitions, on the other hand, are better off with fixed balls because nothing rattles and nothing needs to be adjusted.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">The gradation<\/p>\n<h2>Which gradation makes sense: 12, 16, 20 or finer?<\/h2>\n<p>The most common progression in strength training is in 4 kg increments, and the search for a 12 16 20 kettlebell set shows exactly why: for most trainees, this is the range where the leap from learning to serious training takes place. Four kilos sounds like a lot, but for a hip hinge, it is precisely the step you can cleanly manage after a few weeks. Finer increments of 2 kg are only worthwhile below 12 kg, where four kilos represents an increase in load of about one-third proportionally. Above that, you are wasting money on intermediate sizes that will just sit on the rack. It is also important that a kettlebell grows with its weight: with cast iron bells, the handle diameter increases from 29 mm at 4 kg to 39 mm at 32 kg. Anyone jumping from 12 to 20 kg will therefore have a noticeably thicker grip, which is a training stimulus in its own right during high repetition counts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Weight<\/th><th>Height<\/th><th>Ball diameter<\/th><th>Handle diameter<\/th><th>Handle circumference<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>4 kg<\/td><td>16.5 cm<\/td><td>9 cm<\/td><td>29 mm<\/td><td>91 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>8 kg<\/td><td>19.5 cm<\/td><td>12 cm<\/td><td>33 mm<\/td><td>104 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>12 kg<\/td><td>22 cm<\/td><td>14 cm<\/td><td>34 mm<\/td><td>107 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>16 kg<\/td><td>24.5 cm<\/td><td>16 cm<\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><td>110 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>20 kg<\/td><td>25 cm<\/td><td>17 cm<\/td><td>36 mm<\/td><td>113 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>24 kg<\/td><td>27 cm<\/td><td>18 cm<\/td><td>37 mm<\/td><td>116 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>28 kg<\/td><td>28 cm<\/td><td>19.5 cm<\/td><td>38 mm<\/td><td>119 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>32 kg<\/td><td>28.5 cm<\/td><td>20 cm<\/td><td>39 mm<\/td><td>123 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Competition kettlebells go the opposite way: they are the same size and have the same handle for every weight so that the technique stays the same when progressing. Anyone training in this direction builds up their progression sensibly piece by piece rather than buying a ready-made set. For everyone else: If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/cast-iron-kettlebell-set-4-to-32-kg\/\">Cast Iron Kettlebell Set 4 to 32 kg<\/a> you look at it, you don't buy eight training weights, but two to three training weights and five reserves for later or for other people.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">Price per kilo<\/p>\n<h2>How much does a kettlebell set cost and when is it a good deal?<\/h2>\n<p>You can tell a cheap kettlebell set not by its total price, but by the price per kilo of the training weight you actually use. The three-pack of 4, 8, and 12 kg weighs 24 kg in total and costs CHF 90.-, which is CHF 3.75 per kilo. The larger set ranging from 4 to 32 kg adds up to 144 kg and costs CHF 545.-, or around CHF 3.78 per kilo. The difference per kilo is therefore minimal, but the difference on the invoice is huge. Anyone who actually uses only two weights ends up paying over CHF 400.- with the large set for balls that won't be moved for two years. A set is therefore cheap when you make use of the progression, and expensive when you merely own it. Individual cast iron bells start at CHF 14.40, which is why the pure volume discount is rarely the main argument. The real argument for a set is that you don't have to think twice and you don't have to order twice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Set<\/th><th>Weights<\/th><th>Balls<\/th><th>Total weight<\/th><th>Price<\/th><th>Price per kilo<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/soft-kettlebell-set-4-to-12-kg\/\">Soft Kettlebell Set 4 to 12 kg<\/a><\/td><td>4, 8, 12 kg<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>24 kg<\/td><td>CHF 68.-<\/td><td>CHF 2.83<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Cast Iron Set 4 to 12 kg<\/td><td>4, 8, 12 kg<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>24 kg<\/td><td>CHF 90.-<\/td><td>CHF 3.75<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Cast Iron Set 4 to 32 kg<\/td><td>4 to 32 kg in 4 kg increments<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>144 kg<\/td><td>CHF 545.-<\/td><td>CHF 3.78<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Adjustable Kettlebell<\/td><td>3.5 to 18 kg in 6 steps<\/td><td>1 device<\/td><td>18 kg<\/td><td>CHF 115.-<\/td><td>not comparable<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The floor-friendly soft set is the most cost-effective per kilo.

Eight cast iron balls ranging from 4 to 32 kg add up to a total of 144 kg on a footprint of a good square meter. This is not a problem for a basement floor, but it can be one for an attic, a shelf, or a wooden beam ceiling. On the floor, the balls do not need extra protection as long as you set them down in a controlled manner; however, bare cast iron on tiles or parquet does not forgive dropping. If you leave the balls out in the open, you primarily lose organization: eight kettlebells in a row against the wall are a tripping hazard and visually clutter the room. Therefore, a set only becomes practical when combined with a storage solution, which costs money once again.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/kettlebell-rack-shelf\/\">Kettlebell Rack<\/a> holds up to 20 standard balls on two levels, measures 150 cm in width by 58 cm in depth and supports up to 300 kg. An 8-ball set weighing 144 kg therefore fits on it with plenty of clearance, as does a second set next to it. For smaller setups, you can find further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/category-2\/dumbbells-weights\/dumbbell-rack\/\">Dumbbell racks and storage<\/a> in the appropriate category. Anyone who only has two or three balls doesn't need any of that: One corner is enough.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">What is worth it for whom<\/p>\n<h2>Four situations, four clear recommendations<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ffm-profiles\">\n<div class=\"ffm-profile\">\n<h3>Beginner in the apartment<\/h3>\n<p>You want to find out if kettlebell training suits you at all, and you are working out on parquet or laminate flooring. Take this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/soft-kettlebell-set-4-to-12-kg\/\">soil-friendly soft-set<\/a> with three stages and decide again in three months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ffm-profile\">\n<h3>Home gym that is meant to grow<\/h3>\n<p>You work out regularly and want to improve over the years. Start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/cast-iron-kettlebell-set-4-to-12-kg\/\">staggered triple pack<\/a> and buy individual heavier balls later, as soon as you need them. That is cheaper than any complete set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ffm-profile\">\n<h3>Little space or frequent changes of location<\/h3>\n<p>One parking space, several weights. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/adjustable-kettlebell\/\">Adjustable Kettlebell<\/a> covers six levels and fits in a cabinet. The trade-off is the somewhat bulkier handling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ffm-profile\">\n<h3>Studio, club or physiotherapy practice<\/h3>\n<p>Multiple people are working out at the same time, so you need parallel weights instead of a progression. Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/cast-iron-kettlebell-set-4-to-32-kg\/\">Rear set up to 32 kg<\/a> the right choice.

You barely pay more per kilo, only buy weights you actually use, and learn through the training itself which level you are missing. A set is worth it if multiple people are training at the same time or you deliberately don't want to decide again.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>What weights belong in a 12 16 20 kettlebell set?<\/summary>\n<p>This progression is a typical advanced combination in 4-kg increments. It covers swings, squats, and single-arm exercises without wasting intermediate sizes. At Fitness-Flohmarkt, you put them together from individual cast iron bells; there is no pre-made package in this exact combination.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Is there an affordable kettlebell set for beginners?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. The soft kettlebell set with 4, 8, and 12 kg costs CHF 68, making it the most affordable three-pack in the assortment. Those who prefer cast iron over a sand core pay CHF 90 for the same gradation. Both completely cover the entry-level range.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Which kettlebell set is suitable for women?<\/summary>\n<p>The choice of set does not depend on gender, but on current strength levels and the floor. A set of three ranging from 4 to 12 kg covers the range where most beginners start. Those who already swing powerfully are better off with individual kettlebells starting at 16 kg.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>What about a competition kettlebell set?<\/summary>\n<p>We do not carry a complete competition kettlebell set. Competition kettlebells are usually purchased individually because their advantage\u2014the identical size regardless of weight\u2014only really comes into play over several years and many stages anyway. You build your progression piece by piece.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>And sets like the Neolymp Kettlebell Set 2 to 20 kg?<\/summary>\n<p>Similar sets from other suppliers use 2 kg increments at the lower end. This makes sense for very light weights, but leads to many balls that remain unused later on. With us, the fine gradation is provided by the soft kettlebells from 2 to 12 kg and the 4 kg increments above that.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Can I expand a kettlebell set later?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes, and that is the usual way. The cast iron balls are available individually in the same increments as in the set, so if needed, you simply buy the next size up. That is why a small set followed by later individual purchases is the more sensible order for most people than a large set in advance.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>How much space does a kettlebell set need?<\/summary>\n<p>A triple pack takes up less than half a square meter. Eight balls ranging from 4 to 32 kg need a good square meter or a shelf about 150 cm wide. What matters less is the surface area than the load-bearing capacity of the ground, because a set of eight brings 144 kg to a single point.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-cta\">\n<h2>Ready for the right number?<\/h2>\n<p>Individual spheres, ready-made sets, and the adjustable version are ready to ship in the Swiss warehouse.<\/p>\n<a class=\"ffm-btn ffm-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/category-2\/dumbbells-weights\/kettlebells\/\">Buy kettlebells<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-author\">\n<p class=\"ffm-box-label\">About the author<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominic Bertschin<\/strong> is Head of Marketing at Fitness-Flohmarkt in Liestal.
