I’m not a prize fighter by any means. I’m just a guy that likes to hit the bag for exercise. Overall, this is a good bag that looks to be very durable. I hit the bag pretty hard, and it seems like it will last. It took some time to assemble, but they give you everything you need except sand. I have a smooth floor, but it’s concrete and probably not the best surface for suction cups to attach. However, they do attach somewhat. I am used to hitting a 100 pound hanging bag which has a wider diameter. This bag is narrower and you have to hit it more carefully so you don’t bend and injure your wrists. I recommend this bag for exercise. Since I’m not training to actually fight, I can’t speak to how good it is for that application.
Details:
-You will need DRY sand. I got mine at Home Depot near the bags of concrete – don’t get it from the nursery because that’s wet sand you’ll never get it into the base. I put about 140 pounds of sand in the base.
-Get a good funnel that has a wide opening on the top and bottom. The bigger the openings, the faster the sand filling will go. It’s a pain, but necessary.
-This bag is ideal if you have smooth floors for the suction cups, unless you’re not a hard hitter. Even with the suction cups sorta working on my floor, I can still knock the bag over.
-The bag itself is harder/firmer than I expected. You’ll need decent gloves. I have some worn 14oz gloves that work ok. I haven’t tried my 8oz MMA gloves, but they should be ok.
Bought this for my 15 yrs son for Christmas, was easy to put together , sturdy and great quality. He loves it , would definitely recommend this item . Sure does take punches and kicks well .
Now let’s review the bag itself. I have a wavemaster in the yard. The wave master is very bulky and even when filled with water it moves around a lot. I had purchased a heavy bag but the space I am using in the basement is very small and with low ceilings. This bag was perfect for the space! It has the perfect size and height.The suction cups on the bottom are amazing! It didn’t work on the gym mat, but I cut a hole out and the suction cups hold it pretty steady on tile. It was able to take strong kicks and punches without moving from its place. I was extremely impressed. I filled the base with sand. It took 2 60lb bags of play sand. The sand gave it a more stable foundation. The sand plus the suction cup, the bag is not moving no matter how hard you strike it. Only thing was the size funnel I had made it a tad difficult to get the sand in quickly. It took me about 20 minutes to get it in. Which is not bad for the sturdiest portable bag.
Putting the base together with the bag was the simplest part. The easiest and fastest installation. It was very straightforward and the one tool needed was provided. I give this item 5 stars. I would highly recommend purchasing it. The price is also low in comparison to other products that do the job. You can’t beat the price, the customer service, and the quality of the bag. Don’t waste another second debating it!! Make your purchase!
I am 51 and a former amateur boxer. I love this bag as it is exactly what I needed to get back into shape. Good size and height, better designed than I thought it would be, and can take some punishment. Fits easily into my front room. I am very impressed and happy with this product.
I got this as a way to keep fit. Living in a caravan, I obviously couldn’t have one hanging from the ceiling.
I managed to put it together myself, so it must be pretty simple . I was worried about it’s stability as it is not suckered to the floor, and I could only put it up in my garden. But I need not have worried, it’s still stable enough for me without needing to being suckered down.
I’m over the moon with my purchase. It’s doing absolute wonders for my menopause!!! I can really get my frustration and anger out without any damage, so it’s a win-win for me!
It does exactly what it says.. perfect gift for those boxing enthusias
Takes most punches well, but can sway with the harder punches. Im pretty sure i can knock it over if i try. But a great bag for working out, good quality
This product works really well. I added the recommended sand and use it on a concrete floor. While I’m not sure how much the sand vs suction cups contribute towards its stability, I can say with combined forces this bag can take heavy punches before the suction gives out.
I won’t pretend to be the strongest man in the world, but I’m heavy and mass moves mass. At best, with repetitive hooks, I can move the bag enough to where the suction cups fail, leaving the sand to keep the bag upright. When the bag resettles the weight of the sand pushes the cups down and it’s suctioned again. Beyond this, the bag can take non stop kicks, jabs, and crosses without fail.
Great purchase, would recommend.
Very study, very satisfied. The kids love it, my husbands loves it. Definitely recommend it!
The punching bag is easy enough to setup and the kit comes in 2 boxes actually. Build quality Is actually decent and it’s been a great addition to my home gym. It stands just fine and even after some strong punches, it stays put just fine. It’s been good to get back into my training and actually, even if you are a complete beginner, this it will fit just fine. I have filled it with sand and water so it seems work with that and make sure the surface is flat for best results.
Great bday gift for my cousin had to fill it with sand as the suction cups wouldn’t work on slabs as water wasn’t as heavy but very easy to assemble and money worth while. Highly recommend defo would get anothe
Brilliant punch bag! Just what I needed. Perfect size and very sturdy. The suction cups are the bottom offer great grip! Perfect for Indoor and outdoors! Easy to assemble which took around 20 minutes.
The most affordable boxing bag ever, it is so easy to assemble literally 12 screws and it gives the equipment to assemble it aswell, I personally filled it with water and used the sections cups which keep the bag in one position, I temporarily put water and was thinking or replacing with sand but the water does the job literally don’t even need to fill with sand anymore.
I bought this punching bag for my self and my son to practice his tae kwondo. Seems like it’s good quality and is sturdy enough to take a decent punch or kick. I filled it with water and it won’t move. Great product great fun exercise for all the family would definitely recommend!
My house was burglarised last month so I decided to invest a new box bag for exercise purpose and become stronger. The box bag has better quality than my old one, solid and sturdy, it has rubber sucker at the bottom and it can be fixed onto the floor strongly so that I can also move it from room to room or sometimes from outdoor to indoor easily. It is also not very loud and not noisy when I’m using it and the kids won’t be disturbed. Good purchase. I hope I could grow more muscles with it.
Got this for my son for christmas and he loves it. Good and sturdy with quick delivery
I personally like the punch bag, looks cute to me and it doesn’t hurt much when I punch it. My son also likes to show his flexible knitting with it. It is a very good indoor exercise especially for this lock down period. It can takes the bad montion away and keeps fit at the same time.
It stands very well and stable on my wooden floor, even I don’t ‘t insert any sand in it. I think it is worth for the money.
This was a present for my 10 year old son and he loves it.
I’ve also been using this to work out and it’s great. I haven’t got bad thing to say about i
Easy to assemble although a bit fiddly to fill with sand. All in all good item for good price
The material is easy to clean by simply wiping it down and that makes cleanup that much easier after a heavy workout. The bag itself has just enough softness to make the punch experience easier on the hands. I’d still recommend buying gloves before using though!
The bag is held up by tensioned springs, I thought that was brilliant when I first unpacked and saw this. It’s a great way to absorb the shock and quiet way too. No clinky chains to rattle loudly so people around you will appreciate the quietness.
Overall I’m happy with the purchase, I think you will be too.
My husband and I wanted to buy a punching bag as part of our home gym since Covid19 and not being able to go to our gym outside the home. We chose this particular one based on its good reviews and we were not disappointed. It shipped in two seperate boxes to account for its size. This was actually very helpful because all together in one box would have been impossible for me to move. The setup proved to be very smooth and easy. And just to see which one works the best we tried both water and sand in the base and ultimately decided to go with the sand because it just made the bass feel a little more solid than the water. The punching bag itself is made of good material and quality stitching. The suction cups on the bottom worked far better than I could have anticipated. We’ve been using the punching bag almost every day for the past month and really have no complaints!
Frankly I was unsure if a free standing punch bag would be strong enough for him so we chose this punch bag as it looked strong enough and up to the job even although it was not the cheapest.
What we liked about it:
– Quick and easy set up within 15 minutes by screwing on the floors suckers, filling with water, then bolting on the metal frame to the plastic base.
– Comes with clear instructions, spare floor sucker, spare bolts and a spanner so no additional tools required.
– Very stable when filled with water so no need to buy and fill it with sand.
– Floor suckers work really well on laminate floor to hold in firmly in place.
– Springs and shock absorbers do their job well so it takes heavy punches and strong kicks.
– Quickly rebounds for the next strike and is made of a strong PU leather and foam material.
– Actually looks quite impressive, is full height and good quality.
– The red flash in the picture are black on the model I received.
The only thing I could really say I disliked is that the punch bag arrived one day later than the base as it was shipped separately due to its size but it proved worth the wait.
If you are planning on doing a lot of kick boxing with feet sweeps you would need to be careful of the metal stand though to be fair its not proving to be an issue with my son.
Overall he is really happy and although he is using it everyday for training its holding up well.
Highly recommended by my son.
Good item large. Needs alot of sand but whole ia very small unless your sand is dry it will be a nitemare to fill. I cut into the base anf made the hole alot bigger…fist size then covered hole with duct tape this wil make it easier to empty also.
Regarding the installation, I would use a word ‘easy’. My son managed to set it up himself. The bottom of the suction cup gives strong suction on the floor, which provides huge support to the sandbag, it is very stable even when hitting the sandbag strongly.
