Everlast training bag for cardio fitness

Product Information

Regardless of whether you already own a bag, the HOMCOM stand is actually one of the most sturdy of those that we tested and you can of course still attach your own bags and ball if you wish. There are no less than 5 adjustable heights for the speed ball to hang from with a range from 167cm to 187cm above floor level being optimal for all but the shortest of users. Choosing a boxing bag stand does require a bit of forethought. You will need to consider the type of punch bag you wish to hang. Are you looking for a heavy bag to develop strength and movement or are you looking for a speed bag to develop hand eye co-ordination, speed and have a more intense cardio experience? If it is both, then you will need to consider a stand that is suitable for both. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Everlast is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Punching bags category.

The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Everlast.Air: This is commonly used in freestanding punch bags, as it's convenient for those who need a lightweight option, such as kids or beginners. The main downfall of these punch bags is that the air does tend to escape with consistent use, so will need to be topped up regularly. Overall, the Everlast is well made, very sturdy (especially when you add your weight plates to the pegs) and looks great with a decent bag attached. It’s a shame it doesn’t have a speed bag attachment but as a pure heavy bag stand it does the job perfectly and won’t break the bank. The Max Strength boxing stand is another robust option and has the added benefit of being able to house a heavy bag and a speed bag and you can even buy just the stand or the full kit with both bags included. We opted for purely the stand as we already have bags to attach so we can’t speak for the quality of the bags, but the quality of the stand itself is right up there with the best.

It is a little shorter than the Everlast and the Gyronetics Box Station with the Max Strength standing at just under 200cm in height – this might mean that anyone 6’3″ and taller might struggle to use this bag comfortably but our 6’1″ tester found this stand to be just fine.

Everlast Free Standing Punch Bag

This punching bag stand is not really designed to be dismantled after each use and although it is not difficult to set up or take down it is not ideal to be doing this after each workout. Due to it only weighing 22kg without the bag attached it is fairly easy to move if you want to move it the corner of a room however. The Everlast can hold a bag that weighs up to 45kg which is more than enough to hold most home punching bags.
