Gallant 5.5 Feet Heavy Boxing Bag Free Standing, Punch Bag, Punching Stand | Heavy Duty, Easy Set Up, Sand or Water Filled Base For Kickboxing MMA Martial Arts Muay Thai Home Gym Training Equipment

I’ve been impressed with this punch bag so far. Once assembled and weighted properly, it feels sturdy and provides a good target for boxing and fitness training at home. The height is suitable for adults and the striking surface has held up well during use. A freestanding design is ideal if you don’t want to drill into walls or ceilings for a hanging bag. It can move slightly during harder sessions, which is expected, but it remains stable enough for general training. Overall, a good quality punch bag that offers excellent value and is a great addition to a home gym

Before I place a review for this Punch Bag, I’d like to share with you the excellent customer service I received from Peter at GallantSports. The first Punch Bag, I received had a large rip where the stitching was at the top of the bag. The stitching had come undone, and the bag was beyond repair. I sent some pictures and corresponded with Peter, who was immediately approachable and eager to resolve my issue. He arranged for a replacement to be sent out, which I received after a few days and I couldn't have been happier. The Punch Bag was primarily bought for my son who has joined his local boxing club and he needed extra punching practice. The bag is the right size for him - 5 and a ¼ foot and his height is 5 foot 3 inches. He is able to strike in a co-ordinated and purposeful manner. The unit was easy to set up. It arrives in two separate packages, which are lighter than I expected. For the base, I opted for sand and I filled it with over 2 and ¾ bags of Builders Sand. You can just as easily use Play Sand or water for this purpose. My only slight criticism here is that the mouth of the base is quite narrow, so I had to fill it very slowly and methodically. Once the base is filled, you join the punch bag to it, with heavy duty bolts which are simply screwed in and tightened with a provided wrench. My son uses the bag for at least 30 minutes everyday, and he has said that it is solid, robust and easily absorbs all his strikes. This is due to the heavy padding and the tilt mechanism design, that soaks up punches. I myself used to box at amateur level, and I have hit the bag a number of times hard as I could. The bag weathered all my punches and then retained its normal shape. With the unit being free standing and having a narrow base surface area, he is able to move around it easily, so this helps his footwork, flexibility, agility and all-round boxing skills. Both my son and I are very happy with this purchase and I’m confident that it will provide him with great service. As he gets older and his boxing prowess and experience increase, I will see if he need a heavier bag for his practice. Until then, this is ideal.

This punch bag is amazing quality. It was bought as a birthday gift and they have told me that they really enjoy using it. The only downside was that, only the top part came and I had to wait 2-3 weeks with constant tracking and contacting the seller until the bottom half finally arrived. Apart from that I am really happy with my order and I would recommend it highly, but just a pre - warning, the delivery waiting times are a bit frustrating.

Really happy with the product and service. I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and he absolutely loves it! The bag and the base arrived 2 weeks earlier than the estimated delivery date, which meant it was here well in advance of his birthday. There had been an issue in transit where unfortunately both the bag containing the bolts (to connect the bag to the base) and the box itself had holes in - this meant that only 4 of the bolts arrived and no spanner. We called up Gallant who sent a new bag of bolts and the spanner out right away and this arrived on the next working day. Thank you! The bag itself is really well made - it looks good, is durable and was easy to set up. My husband is 5'10" and the bag height is ideal, he is 14 and a half stone (92kg) and hits the bag with 16oz gloves. The base is filled with water so that we can move it around and wobbles a little bit when he hits it but he likes that to keep him moving his head! Really good value for money, highly recommended.

Fantastic customer service its a good bag and sturdy i had an issue and they were really kind and patient and helped amazingly totally recommend

I don't often write reviews of things I buy but think this item deserves it as I'm very pleased with it. First of all, this punch bag isn't as good as a good ceiling mounted, free swinging heavy bag. However if, like me, you'd quite like it if you didn't bring down your garage roof or shake plaster from connected walls, a free standing bag is the only way to go. I have used a very tall free standing bag at my works gym for a while now and frankly wasn't impressed as it is little better than hitting air. Now to this bag. It isn't very tall, I stand 5ft 6inches (168cm) and it comes to just above eyebrow height on me. For me this is fine but taller people may want a taller bag. The base is nice and narrow meaning you can move around the bag easily and strike from a natural distance. So far I have filled the base with water so it rocks a bit but doesn't seem in danger of toppling over, and I hit reasonably hard (if I say so myself). If I want it more solid I may use sand in the future. The striking surface of the bag is about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and is covered in very thick, very well stitched faux leather. The punching surface is quite firm. The bag joins to the base by means of a bolted rubber housing which provides the bags 'flex' and It has to be said this flex is minimal. The bag arrived within a couple of days of ordering in two parts one day apart. It requires a little assembly using bolts and a spanner provided that took me about 15 minutes including filling with water. If you want a well made, reasonably priced, medium sized bag that will fit in relatively small area and be strong enough to do an effective training session I think this is hard to beat.

AMAZING 👏 I ordered this with christmas money and I wasn't expecting alot but It came and I was very shocked . Not cheap stuff good leather bag with padding and great for a Christmas present or birthday I highly recommend!!!!

I was a little cautious over buying something like this online, but I couldn't be happier. I've used it every day for 3 weeks, and it hasn't shown any signs of wear. I was particularly impressed because it actually came the very next day after I ordered (though don't expect this, perhaps their shipping facility is near me, I'm unsure), but it was a great surprise to receive it so quickly. The punch bag itself is very sturdy, and can take some strong punches. There's been a lot of people saying to fill it with sand, as water moves it around too much. To this I'd say it depends on what you're looking to get out of the bag... if you're a really strong guy, fill it with sand, but for the vast majority of people, water will be fine. Putting the item up is really easy, it comes with 15 screws and a spanner, it takes me 3 minutes to put the bag up every day. It may take a little longer first time, but you'll get used to it. I have it outside, but put it up and down every evening, which is a very quick process. I absolutely wouldn't recommend leaving it outside due to the weather, as it will wear...but if you've got facilities indoors, then of course leave it up. Overall - I couldn't be happier with the purchase, it's really high quality stuff and fast delivery. I will be purchasing some more items from Gallant. With all things, there are going to be bad reviews, people are far more likely to leave a negative review than take the time to post a positive one, but I felt it was necessary as it really is a great item.
