If you’re looking to kick your fitness routine into high gear for 2025, but aren’t willing to commit to a pricey gym membership or shell out hundreds of dollars on new at-home equipment, we hear you. Making small, more seamless and affordable upgrades to what you already have may actually be more effective and help you stick to your plan, and the Kettle Gryp is one of the best ways to do it.
Like most of us, you probably have just the basics — standard dumbbells — and there’s only so much you can do with those. With the Kettle Gryp, you can transform your dumbbells into kettlebells. Yep, you read that right: Kettle Gryp is a genius device that clamps onto free weights, instantly converting them to kettlebells, for a whole new range of exercises. Brilliant, right? You probably won’t be shocked to learn that the Kettle Gryp first came to prominence on Shark Tank; now it has thousands of five-star fans on Amazon.

Easily convert your dumbells into kettlebells in seconds, with this simple-but-brilliant Shark Tank product.
Kettle Gryp started as an idea between two friends. They wanted the benefits of a kettlebell workout without having to invest in a whole new set of weights, and came up with the idea to adapt dumbbells with a special handle. They took the product to Shark Tank, and it was an instant hit.
Available at Amazon for just $35, the Kettle Gryp is a sturdy, robustly made device that can hold most standard dumbbells up to 55 pounds, instantly turning them into kettlebells. And the Gryp itself weighs less than a pound.
The Kettle Gryp is not only a seamless way to switch up your at-home workouts without taking up additional space with equipment, but it’s also financially sound. Standard kettlebells, like this 40-pound option from Dick’s Sporting Goods, usually retail for $150 each. The Kettle Gryp not only costs less than half of that, but it allows users to customize weight capacities and not be confined to only one.
Using the Kettle Gryp also couldn’t be easier: Just open the Gryp’s handles, place the dumbbell on the foam insert, then close the handles around the dumbbell. Snap the latch closed and enjoy your workout. That’s all there is to it.
This product has nearly 7,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and shoppers love that it helps them save money in the long run.
“I already had an extensive dumbbell collection and wasn’t really excited about laying down even more money on a set of kettlebells,” one fan wrote. “[I] came across this and decided to give it a try. It works great!! Saved a ton of money and now I can use all my dumbbells as kettlebells as well. Brilliant.”
Another shopper wrote, “It is very sturdy and there is zero fear of the dumbbell flying out and hitting the wall. … I was concerned that it would be too wide on the bottom for kettlebell swings, but it worked great! I had room to spare.”
“Don’t let the plastic deter you,” one reviewer said. “It holds really well and is easy to snap on and off. So glad I bought this. Unless you want to spend extra money and take up more space for no reason, buy this!”
This fan loved the Kettle Gryp, but had one problem: “The only issue I have is that as you increase the weight on … adjustable dumbbells, the width increases, which makes movements like swings awkward. I really have to spread my legs out to make it work. Still, it’s a great product.”
One final shopper admitted that “it does get a bit slippery as you sweat,” but added that they will invest in some grips to attach to the handle for extra reinforcement.
