Fill a Stanley tumbler with a yogurt-based smoothie from bottom to top and you actually end up getting an arm workout. A 40oz Stanley cup can weigh close to 4lbs or upwards of 1.5 kilograms if filled to the brim with something dense like a smoothie or a thick latte. Jane Morelli just decided that if she was gonna give her arms a workout, why simultaneously rely on ugly looking kettlebells? Morelli superimposed Stanley\u2019s design language onto kettlebells and the result looks just gorgeous.<\/p>\n
Every gym equipment I\u2019ve used has looked boringly functional. The kettlebells at my gym come in bright colors, but that\u2019s just a color-code so you know the difference between a lighter and a heavier kettlebell even if the number on it wears off (it almost always does). Morelli\u2019s design merely bridges two worlds together, and I won\u2019t lie \u2013 the results look like the most seamless collab ever imagined. My only gripe is, I wish these kettlebells were actually tumblers too!<\/p>\n

Haute gym equipment might not be a category but these kettlebells definitely make a case for it. Each one is styled with chic curves, and a color palette I\u2019d only expect from companies like Herm\u00e8s or Stanley. Subtle pastel shades, punctuated by just one hot pink color for the yoga-moms who need their gym equipment to be as flashy as their gym outfits. Each kettlebell has a lacquer-like sheen on it, along with the Stanley logo emblazoned on the front, larger than the weight units below it because that\u2019s what matters more. The style statement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I get that I can sound a little ironic, but I\u2019m all for brand crossovers. (The only time I really object is when Tesla does stuff like manufacturing vodka or whistles because they seem to be obsessed with side quests and not really making any cars). This one piques my fancy because Stanley isn\u2019t just a social statement, it\u2019s perfect for fitness-freaks too who love chugging protein shakes from their 30-40oz cups, or sharing Strava stats superimposed against their Stanley cups just to paint a picture of how much \u2018aura\u2019 they have.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Morelli\u2019s done a pretty remarkable job of simply yet effectively distilling Stanley\u2019s brand language onto a piece of gym equipment, without necessarily caricaturing the Stanley cup\u2019s silhouette. The kettlebells have a separate, distinct character, and the dual-band colors on each individual kettlebell represents a palette that feels distinctly high-fashion yet accessible. Quite like the company\u2019s big, beautiful, nearly indestructible tumblers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
