Pros of the TITAN Adjustable Heavy bag Boxing stand

The pros of the Titan adjustable heavy bag stand:

Can take a very heavy bag
Free movement around the bag
Sturdy frame

In this setup, you can attach one single bag which weighs up to 300 pounds. If you want to work with the heaviest possible bags and you are concerned about mounting it on the wall or ceiling, the TITAN heavy adjustable bag stand can be your solution. You will your bag hanging from a sturdy frame that is bolted to the ground. It will provide you with enough space to circle around the bag to get together a proper workout without being limited in your range of motion.

Cons of the TITAN Adjustable Heavy bag Boxing stand

The cons of the TITAN adjustable heavy bag boxing stand are:

Installation
Space requirements
Price

The installation can be troublesome if you are not a handyman yourself or do not own the necessary equipment to drill the anchors into concrete. A proper drill and the knowledge to combine with it cost a little bit of money and time. If you are not apt at installing things in walls or on the ground you might even need to hire a handyman which adds to the cost of putting up your bag.

This stand needs some considerable space in your gym to function properly. If you already have limited space in your home gym or basement gym you might be better off pushing the punch bag to the wall or hook it to the ceiling. At the wall, it does not eat up as much floor space. If it is put in the ceiling, you can remove it when you want to do other things in the space. Once the TITAN adjustable heavy bag stand is installed, you will not move it and space can only be used for boxing.

Only consider this stand if you are really serious about boxing. Most likely you will get the stand for $300, a bag for $300 - $500, and some other proper equipment to get serious. If you consider the stand to hang a $50 kids bag from it you got your planning wrong. Also, $300 for a stand is steep, if you are a DIY master and can get some metal and anchors yourself to build something yourself. I could not do that, but I know there some very savvy people out there.

Alternatives to the TITAN Adjustable Heavy bag Boxing stand

The TITAN heavy-duty four bag boxing stand is a good option when you want to house a lot of specialty bags in a tight space. The construction will make it possible to hang multiple bags in a rack where you either can stand on the inside or the outside. Circling the bags will be a little limited as the uprights of the construction can get in the way. Apart from that, it is a great way to put a multitude of bags in one place. The downsides are the $600 price tag just for the stand and space it will eat up in your gym.

The dual station heavy bag stand is in my opinion the best compromise between the heavy stand and the four bag stand. The design allows your athletes to freely circle around both of the bags on each side. YOu can still use some very heavy bags on each eyehook and it will be easier to get 3 - 6 of these in a line to train more people in parallel. Be aware that this will only work in gyms with enough clearance to the ceiling. If you are already operating with very low ceilings you might want to consider getting some proper ceiling anchors and work with those instead.

The dual station for a boxing speed bag and the heavy bag comes in at only $170 and does not need to be bolted to the ground. This is the right choice for the recreational athlete that only wants to do boxing to burn some calories. If your fists are planned to be weapons of mass construction that leave a hole in the wall, you might want to consider a different station as this will move around. The structure also limits somewhat to circle around the bags to get more out of your workouts.

The RDX free standing punching bag with suction cups is an option for indoor use. This bag can be weighted down at the base with water or sand to make it more stable. While it is not ideal for a full boxing workout as the base inhibits to get very close to the bag, it can still be great for beginner classes and kids classes. Especially the option to move it out of the way quickly without having to drill anything into a wall or ceiling might make this a good option for some scenarios.

The RDX heavy punching bag is an affordable bag that can come with up to 17 pieces for your home gym as a starter kit. If you are not crazy like me when it comes to equipment then this is more than good enough to get you started on your boxing journey.

The RDX hanging filled face is an optional punching bag that simulates a torso with a head. This is a lot cheaper than the alternative Terry Torso adjustable bags you can find in some gyms.

Conclusion for the TITAN Adjustable Heavy bag Boxing stand

The TITAN adjustable heavy bag boxing stand is the right choice when you want to hang a monster of a bag into your gym like the Super Pro Gigantor which weighs 60kg or even bigger. If you just want to do boxing for leisure or need to train a lot of people at the same time, then there might be some smarter, smaller solutions for your gym to think about.
