I'm enjoying the workouts, but concerned about the quality
Hand holds are great. Placements are just right. I was easily able to load it with weight and begin my workouts. I've got a little over 50 lbs in there and you get plenty of load shift to make your exercises challenging. My only complaint is that I'm only 5 workouts in on this bag and I already have fraying on one of the handles. I had to clip it and burn it. I'll be picking up a sewing kit to cross stitch it so it doesnt run anymore. I have babied this bag so far. It's not overloaded. I have not been tossing or dragging it. A sandbag only needs to be two things: a bag and tough. Fraying on the load bearing webbing makes me concerned about the quality and thus the major penalty to the stars.

Rep Fitness sandbag
This is one of the best sandbags out there, and I would recommend it to anyone. There were only a couple reviews on this when I bought it, and I have gotten a few different Rep Fitness products and been really happy, especially with their customer service. Any issues and it's a quick phone call away with a real person in the USA picking up.The exterior bag: I've used a bunch of different sandbags and this one is really nice for a few different reasons. The stitching (from my pictures) you can see is double stitched and using some type of seat belt material which is crazy strong, and the rest of the bag is a canvas type. The handles leave plenty of space to grab them and have folded over materiel so it doesn't dig into your hands. Some other cheap sandbags on amz have plastic handles... horrible idea for doing cleans, carries, etc. because they dig into your shoulder.The filler bags: My medium bag came with a smaller filler bag and a larger one. It's super strong velcro that is inside the bag, then folds over to make a crease, then has more velcro to close it again. No way there is any sand coming out of these. I filled it up for like $3 at home-depot.Exercises: I've used it for shoulder carries, hiking, clean and jerk movements, rows, curls, shoulder to shoulder, farmers carry... no problems. I like sometimes not grabbing the handles because I feel like I'm getting even more grip strength this way. I've been following along with some youtube videos as well for some crossfit sandbag training and HIIT. Plan on using it for my spartan race training too - an awesome obstacle course race.Pro-tip: I got the 25-75lb bag, but only put 50lbs of sand in it. You could probably get away with 60lbs, and on the instructions it says no more than 3/4 full.. but getting 75lbs in here would be super hard, but probably possible. If you want a weight in the range of 65-115lbs, I would get the bigger one for sure.Last pro: I was comparing this to a couple other sandbags and this was priced a lot better for a 'higher-end' sandbag than others. I read the reviews and it seems like most of them leak sand/tear the stitching, etc.. Super happy with this one. Time to squat!!

This bag has worked out perfectly, not a single issue!
I've been remiss not writing a review sooner because I've been super happy with every aspect of this bag from the beginning.I've had/been using this bag for quite some time now. It has been used 3-5 times per week since my gym has been on lockdown for several months. When I decided I wanted a sandbag for home use I decided on this brand since this is the one used at my gym and I have surely not been disappointed. I use it for quite a few exercises as part of my home routine. The big selling point for me was that it has rivets at stress point. I really like that it has one internal bag for the sand so I can shift the sand around to make it off balance which is the feature that I wanted in a sand bag. Oh and I've not had any issues with sand leaking out.Now I don't throw it around or drag it across asphalt or sharp objects so I can't comment on that other than most any cloth other than kevlar is going to hold up to that. This is nylon (plastic) which is not invincible to abrasions and tearing. Overall, this has been a great purchase for my needs and I would buy again. Very pleased!

Tough and well made sandbag
This is the best sandbag on the market. I'll be buying the large one very soon as well. It's super tough, and comes with a small and large inner bag for the 25-75lb sandbag so I can switch out some weight if I need to easily. Tons of handles all over the bag so I can do whatever I want with it.Sandbag carries, cleans, shoulder to shoulder, zercher squats, etc. The sandbag handles are easy to grab and soft. No plastic handles that dig into your shoulder.Best thing about sandbags: works your stabilizer muscles when the weight shifts which makes it more 'real world' vs standard dumbbell and barbell work. I've abused the thing, and it's still super solid. Of course, price... I was looking at this and a competitor of theirs. This one was like ½ the price and looked super strong from the photos and the reviews here. Really happy I didn't pay twice the price or go with a piece of junk that leaks sand all over the place/needs to be refilled often. Can't wait to take this thing to the park and for runs with me.Quality construction, and really happy to add to my Rep Fitness gear. I have a kettlebell, battle rope, med ball, and now this guy! I highly recommend them if you're looking for some awesome equipment!

First sandbag with handles
I have homemade sandbags that I use for carries and such but I was looking for one with handles. Due to goals right now I use it to warm up, some cleans to front squats, nothing heavy, I have about 80 lbs in it, haven't put it to the test but it looks sturdy. Wish they, and other companies would make one large liner like Rogue does so the sand could shift more but oh well. I may end up buying one of the Rogue liners if I start using this bag as more than just a accessory. With 2 liners and about 80 lbs there is a lot of empty space, I've thought about filling the voids with rubber mulch but then having to mess with that if I want to increase the weight is holding me back. Although I wonder how much it would weigh filled with just rubber mulch and no liners. Wouldn't be very versatile but for what I'm using it for it could work nicely.

Arrived damaged
I liked the form factor, and the liner bags looked great. Unfortunately, the stitching near the fabric designed to protect the zipper area was ripped out when it arrived.Refund was quick and easy, but it is too bad that this traveled from one side of the planet to the other, only to show up like this. Sandbags usually endure a lot of abuse, so if it arrived like this, I don't imagine it will last very long under normal use.

Ripped prior to using.
I purchased this fitness sand bag, loaded it with exactly 60lbs of sand. I picked it up to move it and the webbing handles instantly ripped. I have not even used this bag once! Garbage product - DO NOT Purchase!This product is not even worth a 1 star rating.
