Review on Everlast Training Bag Cardio Fitness by Seth Bushey

Users Don't let the name fool you, this punching bag isn't even remotely eternal. My dad gave me this punching bag for Christmas and we had a lot of fun with it at first. We both hit him and I used him sometimes to practice kicking, he seemed like a good sack. It's not heavy enough, however, and we had to buy extra weight to put it on the ground. Pretty quickly, however, we noticed pieces of white foam oozing out of the bottom of the bag. We consider it "permanent compressed foam padding". As the white foam kept pouring out and making a mess, we began to notice something else. Now, as I punched and kicked the sack as hard as ever, I knew I was starting to hit something hard. The foam leak resulted in inadequate protection around the rigid metal bar at the center of the bag. Now when I hit and kick the sack, I can't do it very hard for fear of hurting my arm with the metal bar. My dad thinks he may have sprained his arm on the pole! I would definitely not recommend this punching bag, it is not durable, dirty and can cause injury. I like the concept though, it's just poorly implemented. The photo was taken two days after all the foam had been removed from the floor.
