If you don't have a lot of room to spare in your home gym, you'll love the versatility of YBells [1]. This four-in-one piece of exercise equipment can be used in place of dumbbells, kettlebells, double-grip medicine balls, and push-up stands. You can use these space-saving YBells for strength training and cardio exercises. Since there are four handles, you can grip them in various ways to do a range of exercises. Read on to learn more details about the five different YBell weights, how to use them, and how much they cost.
What Is a YBell?
A YBell is a compact type of weight shaped like a triangular prism. Featuring four handles on the outside and one in the center, it's more versatile than a dumbbell or a kettlebell, since you can hold it in various ways.
What Is the YBell Made Of?
The YBell Neo is a metal weight that's coated in nonslip, nonrust neoprene. It feels smooth and soft, and it's easy to grip — even when your hands get sweaty.
What Sizes Does the YBell Come In, and How Much Do They Cost?
The YBell Neo comes in five sizes:
- XS (10 lb/4.5 kg); $60 each
- S: (14 lb/6 kg); $65 each
- M: (18.5 lb/8 kg); $70 each
- L: (122.5 lb/10 kg); $75 each
- XL (27 lb/12 kg); $80 each
You can order one YBell or a pair. For even more versatility during workouts, consider getting two different sets of weights.
For price comparison, a pair of kettlebells of the same weight (about $125), a pair of dumbbells (about $60), a dual-grip medicine ball (about $60), and a set of push-up stands (about $15) would cost you around $260 in total.
How Do You Use a YBell?
You can use YBells for any exercise you'd use dumbbells, kettlebells, a dual-grip medicine ball, or a push-up stand for. All you need to do to is change how you're holding the YBell [3].
My personal favorite YBell exercises are bicep curls, step-ups [4], thrusters [5], lunges, plank rows [6], deadlifts [7], and lunges with a press [8].
