Everlast Cardio Fitness Training Free Standing Punch Bag - Black

Much like another reviewer, I've also seen this shear off. (See my almost identical photo!) Obviously it would be great to think I've finally made Captain America status, but it's probably due more to a design fault than that super-soldier serum I got off eBay.The base is easy to fill with water, but as your strength/skill builds, you may find yourself rocking the whole thing it on it's heels or even decking it completely. I was about to fill it with sand when a left hook sheared the pole off the base.That being said, it's a great beginner bag for some hit and move action, but if you're looking to learn quick punching, a heavy hanging bag would be more useful. That's a more expensive solution though, so for now I'm just gonna get my faulty one replaced and hope the next model is less of a lightweight.

Arrived in good time, however broke far too quicklyfilling the base with sand is a real pain. Make sure the sand you get is bone dry and you have a funnel. also fill it with as much sand as physically possible and put some weights on it as the half sand half water recommendation is not nearly heavy enough and it rocks around all over the place. The result of which the pole sheared off the metal plate which attached it to the base whilst it was in use. I now have it in a outdoor umbrella base. Nice product concept but a very short lifetime.

It took a very long time (3 weeks based on my free time) to fill with sand due to the entry holes in each part of the base are the size of a 20pence piece! The base is good and solid as is the main pole but the spring and bag are flimsy, there is way too much flexibility in the spring and I'm trying to find some kind of bracket to put over them to stop it bending over so far. Finally the bag itself, is a lot lighter than I expected so overall a purchase I regret.

The design makes it easy to push out of the way, and its okay for cardio if you want to keep jabbing it, however if you want to give it a good hit the base moves.

It's a great bag to be honest. One thing I have noticed is if you hit the same area more than once you have a tendency to hit the bar in the middle of the bag which can be sore if your not wearing heavy bag gloves.

Good bag a little punching bag. A little flimsy need at least 15kg of weight to keep it still

Good

The product broke after light use. The pole sheared off the base.
