Joe Rogan has always been a fan of working out with the help of kettlebells. Rogan’s dedication to fitness is an inspiration for many of his fans, so when a two-year-old video of his workout using kettlebells hit the internet, fans couldn’t help but be amazed by the JRE host. In the video, the UFC commentator can be seen performing various intense kettlebell movements, such as snatches and squats, and even the two in combination!

His fans were left surprised as the JRE host displayed his extraordinary core strength and stability. So now, Joe Rogan is allowing everyone to be like him by introducing his very own ‘Joe Rogan kettlebell’ for his fans to use and work out with. But while many other brands simply put a logo on their products, Rogan went to add a personal touch instead.

The Joe Rogan kettlebells are truly different from the ones offered by other brands. But why? Well, that’s because unlike the simple curves found in all other bells, Rogan’s kettlebells are a sculptural replica of his own face. Released by Onnit Fitness, Joe Rogan’s 55 lb kettlebell is an exclusive product that is set to inspire others to hit their fitness goals. Designed by @freakshopgallery, the JRE kettlebells are said to be limited edition and can only be owned after signing up for their draw. Not just that, they also revealed that they will also be donating $100k to the ‘Fight for the Forgotten’ charity.

Well, it looks like Onnit and Joe Rogan partnered together to help out people through this noble cause. However, it seems like fans aren’t big fans of the kettlebells. And we’re not talking about kettlebells in general, as fans are hating the Joe Rogan kettlebells specifically. But why? Well, according to fans, it is all about the design that has been chosen that gives them very wrong ideas about the true purpose of the product.

Fans are confused about the purpose of the Joe Rogan kettlebell

As soon as pictures of the Joe Rogan kettlebell hit the internet, fans were quick to point out that they were not big fans of the design chosen for the product. So did they find it ugly or unappealing? Well, not exactly. According to fans, the kettlebell seemed less like exercise equipment and more like a tool to practice kissing with instead.

A majority of the fans wrote sharing the same sentiment in the comments, with one fan calling it a tragic mistake, “That is tragic,” while others called out its real purpose by writing, “It is for you to kiss,” “Plenty of dudes in here are literally going to make out with that thing,” and “This is perfect for practicing kissing.”

Another fan wondered who was the person responsible for approving the design that really made the product’s appearance very confusing for viewers. With lips that seem to be pouting, it is a far cry from the normal expressions that the JRE host usually makes in the UFC or his podcast. So, venting out his frustration, the fan wrote, “This can’t be real, lol. Who the f*** would approve this!?”

However, not every fan hated the product. Some fans were of the opinion that the product actually looks decent. In fact, many were quick to express their desire to buy it instead. Taking to the comments, they let their thoughts be known. The fans wrote, “Shipping now,” “I bought two lol,” and “It’s too late to ask for this for Christmas :(“ Well, it seems like fans are divided. But, a majority do believe that the design is flawed. But what do you think? Do you think it is a bad design choice? Let us know in the comments.
