Everlast Pro Everflex Freestanding Punch Bag

I’ve always had everlast gear. Had heavy bags and frames from them for years. Wanted to take up less space as well as get more height.Few considerations:- it’s 195cm at least, which is much more useful than a 180cm hanging bag frame at my height (195cm)- it’s much wider than a hanging bag which takes some getting used to- the base is very stable but it’s huge and makes it difficult to do close body work- easy to assemble, bit fiddly but fine- technique has had to adapt to the extra distance and responsiveness of the bag. It’s like a cross between a heavy bag and focus mittsHope this helps, so far it’s been great.

Easy to assemble and fill using water as long as you get a large funnel and plastic watering pourer with measurements like I did from bunnings. I found about 50 litres equaling about 50kg either side was enough to keep the base stable, however no more or you will not be able to shuffle it from its location. It is ok for light to medium kicks and punches, however it has a caution not to exceed 30 degrees or it may cause damage and void warranty. Ok for light jabs and combos for a cardio workout. Was thinking of buying it pre coronavirus when it was 25percent off but erred and paid full price as stock ran out Australia wide. $700 full price a bit pricey but no choice. Suits it's purpose to gyms reopen if safe to do so.

Bought this for our son for Xmas he absolutely loves it. It is well made, strong, sturdy and well protected ie no metal material exposed. The foam is long about 1.7m so no problems doing low or high kicks. When doing jabs and punches it has enough give ie flexes backwards enough that you’re not taking the full force of the punch which can cause shoulder/wrist injuries. I enjoy boxing myself so tried it and it’s great. Bit on the expensive side but you get what you pay for...even better when you can get it on sale which is what we did!Just be mindful that it is nearly 2m tall including the base so make sure you have enough room to place it.
