Traditionally, kettlebells have been used as excellent workout tools that people embrace because they provide a mixed body exercise that combines strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training, so it's only fitting that this monkey-inspired primal workout tool entitled 'Chimp!' sees exercise design company [Onnit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onnit-creatine) playfully changing up the look of this very old [weight training tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowflex-results-series-1090).

With 18lb, 56lb and 72lb models available, this 36lb primal workout kettlebell is a great showcase of Onnit's desire to "take kettlebells out of a dark garage" and instead make a grand statement with their hand-sculpted pieces of primal artwork.

Chiseled out using a 3D printing device, Onnit's kettlebell comes chip resistant, perfectly balanced and is sure to satisfy the needs of design and exercise fanatics alike.
