The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world's heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950's and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family's remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men's and women's apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future. What's in the Box?

 Convenient for home training, potting flowers. September 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for workouts while I lived in an upper-floor apartment. Set-up is easy, just a few bolts (tools included) and some sand or water (cheaper but 'sloshier') for ballast. There is some nice bounce-back and it can take the hardest hits without falling over. It does slide around a little on carpeting, but not enough to mess with a workout.
The most annoying thing about it was that everyone who came in just had to try their best power punch out, even if it was 3am after a night out. Like I said, I was on the upper floor, and the sound of the stand 'whomping' down on the floor as it tilted back and forth probably was not too pleasant for the people below.
When I moved out I didn't want to toss it in the trash but had no real use for it anymore, so I use it as a pot for an orange tree that outgrew its old home. How green of me.
Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag Review - Good Bag! August 27, 2008
I purchased the Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag and am quite happy with it. It is a very good bag, for the price, and I found it to be exactly what I needed for me and my sons to use for TKD practise kicking and punching.
Assembly was straight forward. All parts were there, except one of the bolt heads still had 'slag' in it, and had to be tightened with a pair of pliars, as the hex key would not fit into it. (Ergo, 4 instead of 5 star rating). Make sure you line up that first 'seal disk' with the notched divits for a tight fit. :)
The foam was kind of difficult to get inside the bag, but eventually fit nicely and looked good. I had to step on the big round foam disk to make it sit all the way to the bottom of the bag (well, the top once it's put on the stand) and be flush, but it worked and made the bag smooth and nice looking.
I used five 50lb bags of kids play sand (they were $3.00 each and very compact bags) and instead of ripping them open, I managed to fit four bags beside each other (standing up position) and layed the last one on top of them. This way if I ever need to break the unit down and move it to another location, I will not be scooping sand forever!!
The bags fit perfectly, the weight is at the recommended 250 lbs now, and the unit will NOT move from kicking and punching (and it's on a carpeted basement floor), even with an adult kicking...there is just the right amount of 'sway/give' from kicks and punches.
VERY happy with this purchase.
Good Product....so far(?) August 14, 2008

So far so good for this bag. I put 4 60lb bags of sand in the base and have not had any problems with "migration" like some of the reviewers. It is not loud either...if you assemble it correctly. Bag was a little hard to assemble...just read directions carefully and follow EVERY step (I had to reassemble it twice). I would recommend this product to a friend...good for venting frustration!
What gloves are you guys using? July 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The everlast freestanding bag is not meant to be hit with actual boxing match gloves. It is a training bag. I think that is why there are so many reviews about the stand breaking. If you try hitting with a small boxing glove, first, you'll seriously hurt your hands and two the force on the bag is multiplied as the distance between your hand bones and the bag decreases thus dreastically shortening the stands life. You need gloves like these "Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves (Black) ". They don't have to be everlast but you have to make sure they are training gloves. That is the key, TRAINING GLOVES. And there shouldn't even be a choice between water and sand. Standing water is not healthy nor is it clean. Stagnant water draws tons of mosquitos. Buy 4 or 5 sand bags or double up some supermarket bags and go to the beach. Thats the only reason i'm not giving this five stars. Everlast should have known better. As for the training gloves, "It is strongly recommended that bag gloves are worn when using the EVERLAST Free Standing Heavy Bag" is written in bold on the assembly sheet. So to anyone planning on buying this product, be aware of what your buying.
 Worst punching bag ever. May 26, 2008
This brand new "punching bag" broke on the fourth punch. I am not a professional boxer. Do not buy this.
