About

My name is Jay and I run Adjusta-Bell out of my garage in a satellite city of Cleveland Ohio.  I started my fitness journey about four years ago.  For my entire adult life I'd been overweight, out of shape and ate garbage.  I went through a very stressful and difficult time in my life and when it was over I had lost about 50lbs. from the ordeal.  I decided to make some changes and try to capitalize on the unexpected positive development.

I found kettlebells and I found Mark Wildman on YouTube.  I quickly decided that competition bells were for me and I bought my first adjustable competition bell from Titan fitness.  But I was still very de-conditioned and the 12kg empty weight of the bell was just too much.

In my professional life I design and make products with CAD/CAM and various CNC machines, so I fired up my computer, worked up a replacement shell for my Titan bell and 3D printed it.  It dropped the empty weight of my bell to about 8kg and allowed me to confidently start working with it.

Along the way I joined the Wildfan Discord message board for fans of Mark Wildman to talk and share.  There is a DIY section on the forum so I shared what I made hoping to help other folks that might be in a similar situation.  Word got to Mark and we worked to develop the shells I offer today.

This has all been truly amazing and a blessing to me and my family.  I've been able to talk to folks all around the world and just down the road.  I am humbled at the opportunity to help people on their wellness journey as we walk the path together.

Safe Training!
