Why choose Everlast punching bags?  What's all the hype about?  Why is Everlast known as the "preeminent brand in boxing since 1910"?  Why do professionals swear by it and why is it among the most popular boxing and MMA brand out there?  What separates Everlast punching bags from other brand heavy bags?  Quality, durability, stability, support, safety, and product variation.  Whether it be punching bags, boxing shoes, boxing gloves, or headgear, Everlast addresses all these characteristics in all of their products. 

    High quality leather and double stitching allow Everlast punching bags to endure beatings for years without showing any signs of wear and tear.  Bag quality and material are better maintained if bag gloves are used during training - This will also save you some hand injuries.  That being said, highly durable Everlast boxing gloves can help to further the life of any punching bag out there. 

    With a punching bag, stability and safety are key.  You don't want a bag that sways too much or too little for optimal training settings.  All Everlast hanging bags come with stable ceiling mounts.  Standing bags also provide stability with their bases, fillable with water or sand – smaller capacity bases still provide a 200lb. base.  Double end punching bags can be adjusted to provide a custom amount of bag swing so that it may be tailors to the trainer.  Too much swing isn't just detrimental to a boxer's training but it can be dangerous.

    Last but not least is variability and product offerings.  Yes, it's impressive for a company to offer a few products that are of high quality, but to offer hundreds of products and maintain this quality throughout is even more impressive.  Everlast manufactures uppercut and angle bags to work on your game from multiple angles, double ended bags for added stability and control, and teardrop and Muay thai heavy bags for MMA lovers.

Everlast freestanding heavy bags allow you to train where there is no good place to hang a bag and specialized bags such as the Teddy Atlas bags, are specially patterned to achieve maximum training benefits.  So am I biased?  Of course- I've been using Everlast punching bags for years.  As with anything you read on the web, don't just take the author's word and blindly buy a punching bag.  Get to a gym and test if out for yourself.  I Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  Train hard – Train safe – Train Everlast.

Dave Toub is a strong believer in Everlast punching bags and would never train with anything else.
