UFC® Octek Training Station Red/gray

I just picked up this bag today from the local sporting goods store. The bag needs some better advertising/description. First, filling up the base is simple compared to what people are saying with Everlast bags. So far I have put 250 pounds of sand in the base with roughly 50 pounds of water (8.33 pounds per gallon X5). I think I can still fit 2-3 50 pound bags of sand in the base then saturate it with water for maximum weight. The more weight the better. I have mine on a carpeted surface and when I hit the bag with my right it picks the base up off of the ground. It only tilts but it is a serious thud when it comes back down. You don''t stand much of a chance at knocking it over. If you can then you are more of a man than I. I think adding more weight will prevent me from doing this. I am using a set of UFC style training gloves when I spare with the bag. You can grab around it for using your knees or practice grappling and the octagonal base makes it more difficult to move. It has places for your feet if you want to do situps, there is ample room for putting your legs on it for push ups and there is a resistance band notch in the base as well. The material inside of the bag itself is a memory foam type of material. It is wrapped so you can open it inside of the bag. All of that being said. The instructions aren''t great but you will manage. The bag seems to be a solid piece of equipment. If you are a big guy like me then be sure to get as much weight in the bottom as you can. I will follow up with more as I use it. I am always afraid of things with plastic components. The base is held on with metal threads. Hopefully in 6 + months I won''t have kicked the top off of this thing but I am sure going to try! Good purchase. Roughly $150 + filler.

Punching the bag I can feel the plastic middle insert and while kicking it I can feel and see the middle plastic insert ready to break, So with this said I think this is good for maybe young kids or people who are not seriously involved in MMA. You cannot, "take it to it" on this bag. You will either break the plastic middle insert or hurt your hand or leg because the cushion is not that "cushiony" per say. In my opinion If you are serious about MMA or boxing this is not the product for you. You need to venture towards a hanging bag or a standing one like the Ringside Freestanding Boxing Heavy Bag. Hope this helps.

No, I do not recommend this product.

So I ordered this for my husband for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! It''s so versatile depending on how you want to work out that day. The Price was defiantly worth it. The material the bag is made out of isn''t like any other bag it''s very sturdy and well made if it gets a rip I would be extremely shocked. This Work out station in my opinion is in the high quality range. I do agree with the other review a set of built in wheels would a been nice but other than that its worthy of 5 stars!!!!

I had seen this at Sports Authority and I really liked it. I don''t do real boxing per se'' but have incorporated some movements into my work-outs. This does the job on the days when my personal trainer isn''t here. I like that I can fasten resistance and bands to the bottom. PS It''s slightly less expensive on Amazon at 136.89 (Prime shipping) than at Sports Authority.

I got this item today. I spent a lot of time filling the base with water and putting everything together only to have it break on the first kick. It was evident upon putting it together that this bag is cheaply made. Reminds me more of something for kids than adults. Very disappointing.
