Gymreapers Strength Training Sandbags - Heavy Duty Workout Equipment for Home Training, Cross Training, Military Conditioning & Exercises

I just received my sandbag as I plan to go son a trip for a week and can’t bring any substantial weight with me but where I’m going has plenty of sand to use. Cordura feels thick and well constructed and the YKK zippers are a pleasant sight as they are usually an indication that quality materials were used. Came with three filler bags that also seem to be well made. We will see how it holds up over time but just from what I can tell taking it out of the box, it should be a solid piece of gear.

I really shopped hard for sandbags. Gymreapers really impressed me with their writeup and apparent commitment to quality. And I have to admit, the bag seems pretty nice. It has a PVC inner liner so you don't have the dust problems that some people complain about. It seems pretty well made in general.My problem is that one of the filler bags broke during my first workout. It just blew out the stitching at the bottom and filled the bag with loose sand. Thanks to that PVC liner, it didn't send sand or dust flying, it just felt a lot looser for the rest of the workout.The description on here really gave me the impression that these guys stand behind their product, so I reached out to see if they could help me out -- maybe send a replacement filler bag. They didn't. They didn't even respond to my email. They did put me on their marketing list so I get spam from them instead. Which is a little insulting.Admittedly, I probably filled the filler bag a little to full and I think they'll be more durable if you make sure to leave a good amount of slack so they can kind of flow around. I'm a little doubtful that it can hold the listed weight. Based on my results I think about 25 libs per filler bag is max and that won't get you there.That said, if I were doing it again I'd get one size smaller. I thought I was pretty strong but I'm new to sandbags and just having 60lbs in there is plenty challenging. You probably don't need more for this type of workout unless you're the type of guy that squats more than three plates in a workout.In conclusion: nice product, disappointing support. There are a few competitors making similar quality. A difference maker for me would have been a better response, or a good workout poster (lol I almost bought the one that includes it but reviews of that quality weren't good.

After about 3 months of weekly use the bag ended up ripping along the stitches. Bag was loaded to the full 125lb capacity and i was shouldering the bag and dropping it from waist height trying to be gentle.

I thought the fabric would be a little thicker. But fine so far. Hopefully it lasts at least 6 months of daily use. Not abuse

It ripped first time I used it. Only put 100 pounds worth of sand into the bags then when I went to pick it up it ripped at the stitching.

Very good sandbag.

The bag is beautiful and seem good quality. I bought some sand and dried it out to make sure it was completely dried (the sand is not included). I only fill the bag half full, did ONE workout. I then open the bag to see if the sand pass tru and it does. Not a lot, but for my first workout (not even 10min) and i found some grains in the bag. I didnt slam the bag or anything either, just row, curl, front squats and RDL. The sand find its way tru the sewing along the filler bag.Updated : after a week of use i noticed that the sand really turn to dust and pass tru the sewing (again not a lot but it does). So i ordered some smooth gravel to fill it. Iguess that anybag that use sand will have that problem eventually.Updates #2 : i sent them a message about the sand leaking. On their website it say that they response in 24-48hours. Been a week and no response and the only thing they did was add me on a spam email for new product and bull**** like that. They look nice when reading about them but they just laughs in your face. I received ZERO customer service. A literal joke.
