Has this thing held up well for you? Would you recommend it?

It's definitely a good accessory to have.

Is it still holding up now?

Hey did you get this bag? Would you recommend it

Thanks for the support. The lightbox reads "one box, unlimited workouts". My wife has a business called fitbox. A small box filled with home workout equipment.

I wish I get that lucky why would someone just throw it away 😂

I just found one on the side of the road two days ago, Basically brand new.

How has it held up for you? Would you recommend it?

Any good?

Old gloves. The lining had worn away so I ripped the rest off leaving a nice mat finish.

This is good if filled with sand on a non slippery floor. Nothing will beat the heavy bag though for hitting hard as this bag is really for technique and movement

i ordered a bag like this last week, it still hasn't arrived due to me being in a different country, I saw many reviews on this product and I seriously recommend it, please tell me your review on it if that's possible .

​@@jules9367 So far it's been great for me! I did a lot of research about speed bags and double end bags but as I set out above - this was a bit of an impulse purchase... I'm actually in the process of editing a video about weighting it down. Key points: I did not want to use water because I was nervous the water might eventually spill out or worse - go bad! My solution was to use sand. A sticker comes in the box recommending 200lbs (90kg) of sand. I'd understood that "play sand" was used by other for various similar applications including filling sandbags for rucking. I also saw someone else fill a different Everlast product with sand and it looked super easy. That guy appeared to be using kiln dried sand. What I did't know was that the sand I bought was going to be wet! It seems that's the way it's sold - at least in Ireland anyway! The first bag was a total nightmare to try to pour into the base. That was a full workout in and of itself. After that I waited for a warm, dry day and unfolded a tarp on concrete tiles. I emptied the sand out and spread it as thinly and evenly as possible using a shovel and rake. I related this process for a few days until I had dried all the rest of the sand I was going to use and a little over. Nice and dry the sand poured freely as one might expect sand to pour. So make sure you use dry sand or dry your sand before you use it was the most thing I wish I knew before I started! Hope that helps anybody else.... Feel free to ask me any specific questions!

@@RichardDonelan in my country its pretty hard to find sand, so I might fill it with water, many people with this product told me to use water instead, so I will do that, my question is: is it easy to assemble?

​@@jules9367 - yes - very easy to assemble. Turn the bag upside down when it arrives (bag itself is foam filled and ready to use) and then place a rubber plate over the middle of the end of the bottom of the bag that is now facing you. The rubber ring is confusing in that it looks the same both ways up - keep the hollow part facing away from the bag. Line up the shaft of the upright - there are four holes for the bolts. Hadn't tighten the screws at diagonals - just like when bolting a car wheel - then give a final tighten with the supplied allen key. When you have the base filled (water or sand as you prefer) invert the bag and line up the bottom of the shaft of the upright with the four holes on the base that you've already filled. Tighten the bolts in the same manner as set out above. Would suggest not over tightening at first - just until the bolt feels like it doesn't want to turn anymore. As others have also suggested, I'd definitely recommend checking the bolts after the first couple of uses! Also, this is totally optional but I used some bike grease on the bottom bolts just incase I ever had to take them off again as the shaft of the upright that connects the bag with the base covers the fill opening. Hope that helps and that you enjoy this bag as much as I do!

@@RichardDonelan thank you so much! you saved me :)

I think any lubricated parts are hidden behind the grey part at the base. Probably worth me inspecting this once in a while to re-lubricate

Hey do you like this bag? Would you recommend it?

My guess is that there would be. A smooth surface wouldn't be great unless it was sand filled.

Probably depends on your floor. I'm on foam and it doesn't move. If not a grippy for then probably sand.

@@functionalwarriorworkouts2368 oh okay, I’m gonna put it in the garage so you think water would work?

@@inzenyfn1149 give it a try. Water is free and you can empty it out. Sand would be a hassle to fill it but better if no grip on the floor. Good luck

If you use sand use kiln dried sand or else you'll be there days filling it with slightly damp builders sand as it clogs up into small lumps and is a nightmare to fill, whereas kiln dried sand pours in akin to water.

@@biggusdickkus2956 +1, fine, dry sand is the way to go. I used play sand but had to dry it out. Nearly killed me but totally worth it in the end!!

Hi. I haven't done a follow up but here's an update. I use the bag once a week and it's still good. I had to add self-tightening washers on the lowest three screws as they kept coming loose. I have also done a follow along 20 minute bag work video using the bag so you can see it in action a little more realistically.

I would guess so. You could try some anti slip mats (used for rugs) under it and it should be ok.

Once filled with the recommended 200lbs (90kg) sand it won't be going anywhere! I'd check the floor though to make sure it can handle the load and also bear in mind that if it was a timber floor with joists running below and no insulation that it could be noisy for anyone who might be living below. Also, I wouldn't fill it with water if using in an apartment in case it leaked! Would also consider using some kind of none slip material under it to protect any floor coverings and to ensure no sand / debris (small stones) got stuck under it - especially if you had a nice floor to begin with!

Hey did you end up getting this?

Yeah my combos aren't boxing combos. I use the Bas Rutten system which doesn't work as well on this bag. That's a plus though as it forces you to mix up your rhythm and timings.

Yep nothing replaces a bag for sure. But this bag forces you to change your timing and comes back at you so definitely a useful tool.

Hey did you end up getting a bag with a stand? If so which one?

What would you recommend to somebody who isn’t able to use a hanging bag? Something like this? Or a heavy bag with a stand, or a free standing bag? If so, which one?

It's a useful tool but need to consider what your needs are: boxer training vs a boxing workout. I'd get this for the latter.

It's still pretty good. It isn't used extensively but nothing has broken or worn down yet.
