Bodytone 6 kg medicine ball with integrated handle

The Bodytone 6 kg medicine ball is the first load in the series fitted with an integrated handle, which opens up single arm swings, pulls and controlled throws that a smooth ball cannot support. A medicine ball is the tool for controlled functional loading: rotations, passes, dynamic bracing and partner work. Its compact format suits close range and rotational exercises, which is what distinguishes it from a wall ball or a slam ball. The list price is 145 EUR excluding VAT.

Technical specification

Choosing the right ball family and planning the training zone

The three ball families are not interchangeable and buying the wrong one is the most common mistake on a functional training order. A medicine ball is for controlled work and rotation. A wall ball is soft and oversized for overhead throws against a target. A slam ball is built for full power impacts into the floor. A complete room holds all three, and confusion between them shows up quickly as damaged equipment: a medicine ball is not designed for repeated full power floor slams.

The handle changes what can be programmed at this weight. Single arm swings, offset pulls, chops and controlled release throws all become available, which extends the ball beyond partner passes into individual strength and conditioning work. At 6 kg the load suits general population circuits and small group training rather than maximal power development.

For the training zone itself, allow a clear radius around each user for rotational movements, more than a simple footprint suggests, and place ball work away from mirrors and glazing. Rubber gym flooring under the area protects the slab and reduces noise transmission. Store the balls in a dedicated rack rather than on the floor, both to keep them visible for class setup and to remove a rolling trip hazard between stations. Wipe them down periodically as part of the cleaning routine.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the 6 kg load for?

It is the entry point of the handled series, appropriate for general population circuits, rotational work and partner drills. Neighbouring 5 kg and 7 kg steps let a coach match the load to the participant.

Medicine ball, wall ball or slam ball?

The medicine ball serves controlled work and rotations, the wall ball serves overhead throws, and the slam ball absorbs full power floor impacts. All three families are available in our catalogue and a complete room combines them.
