ViBelle Heavy Duty Training Sandbags for Fitness, Zipper Weight Adjustable Fitness Power bag for Weight Lifting, Running, Exercise, Powerlifting with 4 inner sandbag

I have had this for a while but I keep forgetting to get a bag of sand. When some pea gravel became available I thought I would give that a try. I filled each small inner bag with seven pounds of gravel and crammed them in the outer bag. The total weight is less than thirty pounds which is about right for me. My cardiologist told me last week to refrain from lifting more than fifty pounds. Of course the day before I had been at the gym deadlifting five times that amount. Oops. I am having to shift my exercise regimen or possibly have an aneurism. Back to the bag. I barely got it closed up with the inner bags two-thirds full of pea gravel. Maybe sand would be easier to manipulate and you could get more weight in. I like using the weighted bag. Since the bag comes with NO suggested exercises I went on YouTube and found some beefy, overconfident dude that shared some sand bag exercises (then he went and ate a steak). Remember some exercises are easy with this weight like bent over rows and some are harder like overhead presses because you can’t utilize the handles very well. There are handles all over this thing so there are lots of ways to grab the bag.

I was worried about the sturdiness as some of the stitching didn't hit the reinforcement patches on the inside. But so far so good. I'm not throwing it to the floor or snatching on it roughly. I was worried about the way the inner pouches were made with the closures, both getting sand permanently in the velcro and poking me through the outter carrier. I discovered that if I roll down the lip of the pouch, it makes it easier to keep the sand out of the velcro. What little I did get on it brushed off. I weighed the pouches as I filled them, and at about 75% full, I got a gross weight of 8 lbs. I think they recommend only 75% filled to keep the pouches pliable. Then I alternated the pouches in the carrier with the "tops" towards the center. They overlap at the center. I reached in and pulled the bottom of the pouches to ends of the carrier. This filled out the carrier well while leaving the carrier somewhere pliable. So far, so good. A total weight i have in there is a tad There are plenty of handles for a variety of positioning. I use it mainly for lunges and one-hand farmer's carries. 100% recommended. Good value for the money.

Poor quality, internal bag busted open after first use.

This review is for the ViBelle Heavy Duty Training Sandbags. I ordered this training sandbag because I wanted an easy to grip exercise bag. I have several Sandbells, but they require a grip that aggravates the arthritis in my hands. The multiple handles all over the ViBelle bag allows me great flexibility in grip placement. There are no less than eight handles on this bag. One design element that is frequently overlooked is reinforcement at the handle anchor points. ViBelle HAS put an additional layer of fabric at the anchor points, and has overstitched the attachment. The handles seem very secure after using it daily for 5 days. The interior sand bags are well thought out. As the Amazon listing states, there is a double layer of hook & loop to ensure the sand does not escape. I especially appreciated that design element. Main zipper is beefy, and is reasonably well anchored in the bag fabric with 8 stitches per inch, double stitched. While this is adequate, I would have liked to see a little more dense stitching to tolerate the abuse the bag will take over time. This is a flexible exercise bag that I believe will take a fair amoput of abuse. If you are in the market for an excercise bag, try this one.

Do not buy these. They are cheap for a reason. Much better off buying an old duffle bag and using that. The handle stitching came apart immediately after filling. Just from picking it up. The stitching is awful. This is not a good deal

got to incorporate into my workouts. However I havnt gone to the store to buy bags of sand yet. This seems very durable and the fabric feels good and the handles sturdy. I didnt feel any rough spots that would cause iritation during a workout.

The inner bags are only single stitched and 2 of the bags have blown completely open. I used this bag for sandbag tosses and over-the-shoulders, which admittedly takes a toll on bags, but I was disappointed with the durability of this one. The bags stitching started blowing out during the 2nd or 3rd time I used it I think. I took them to a sew shop to have all the stitching redone and they work better now.

This bag is made of canvas and is certainly durable. It has many handles around the back so you can use this for ANY part of the body you do strength training for. We did a variety of different positions and all were very comfortable. Even if you didn't want to put the sandbags inside, you could use the canvas bag for any other function that you might need it for: like a gym bag, a quick overnight bag, and so on. The bags for sand were larger than I thought, so I was pleasantly surprised. We filled them up with 5lbs each, which left plenty of room for more, and lifted it by the straps: no problem (it was comfortable). The double Velcro on the filling bags ensures that sand won't spill out and get everywhere. I also like that each of the filling bags has a handle on it, if you want to work with one or two bags, lifting them singularly for your arms. This is definitely a workout, and I would suggest starting slow and working up until the bags are as full as they can go. Weightlifter? Yes, this is for you!
