Overview of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand
The
TITAN 8 bag boxing stand is the biggest boxing stand you can get from TITAN. If you have space and can bolt it to the ground it is a solid tool to get more bags up in a commercial gym with high ceilings. In other scenarios, it is probably overkill. The full specifications of this stand are:
- Easy bolt together design.
- Holds up to 8 bags of any size.
- 360-degree access to each bag.
- 8 Eye hooks to hang bags.
- Can be collapsed into a 4 bag stand.
- Height: 8-ft
- Footprint: 12-ft x 6-ft
- Base Plates: 6-in x 4-in
- Material: 3-in x 3-in steel tubing.
- Capacity: 300 lbs. per Hook | 2400 lbs.total
- Weight: 405 lbs.
This is a massive rig to hang bags on which leaves you with a solid foundation and a lot of space to work with your boxing clients.
Pros of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand
-
Many eyehooks
-
Space to circle the bags
-
Solid rig
This is a solid solution and I especially like it because you can work with different bag configurations to maximize free movement around them. If you want to hang a lot of bags whilst having the space to navigate around them, then this is the best you can get from TITAN.
Cons of the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand
Do you really need 8 bags in your gym and want to pay about $1000 just to have a station to hang them on? I think for most people and commercial gyms the answer will be no. Especially, if the ceilings are low and you can use them to hang bags.
Alternatives to the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand
Out of the entire TITAN boxing stand line up, I like this one the least. The reason os that the uprights are too close to the bags in this setup. It limits how you can move around the bag even though you are paying extra bucks to them mounted. If you need a lot of bags, go for the
8 bag stand and leave some space. If you want to hang
4 bags, get two of the two bag heavy stands from TITAN so you can decide how far you want to put them apart.
The heavy-duty 2 bag stand is a great option to
hang four bags but with more space between the individual bags. With this you can move freely around the bags, while still being able to hang some pretty heavy ones.
Conclusion for the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand
The
8 bag heavy stand is a great option when you want to hang a lot of bags in your gym while still being able to circle around them

Low price
-
Small footprint
If you want to self build a
treadmill desk, you can do this fairly cheap by ordering from TITAN. Combine the under desk
treadmill with the A2 single motor sit to stand desk and you have a
treadmill desk for under $1000. It won't be the prettiest, fanciest, and have the most features, but it will do the deed for under $1000.
Cons of the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
-
Not for running
-
Can not fold
-
Minimal computer unit
The
TITAN under desk treadmill is not ideal for running fast. As with most under desk
treadmills, they are designed for a very slow walking pace and will not take a prolonged heavy pounding. Especially if you are a big athlete you should be careful.
Compared to other
under desk treadmill models the TITAN version can not fold up. If your desk setup should be permanently able to have a
treadmill setup that is fine. If you want to change around often you might want to look for a foldable option instead.
The computer of the
under desk treadmill is pretty simple and does not incorporate any kind of extras. All it does is that it shows your the steps, calories, or distance you have done. A bonus is that you can place it on the desk so that you do not need a remote or bend under the desk to make adjustments.
Alternatives to the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
If you are looking for a
treadmill the
TrueFrom runner is the current king of the court. This self-propelled
treadmill has a reputation for the best belt in the business when it comes to self-propelled machines. If you want to accelerate and decelerate fast, this is the right
treadmill to simulate a game environment without taking up too much space. While it is the creme de la creme in functionality, the price is astronomical and close to $6000. You can build an entire gym with that or deck your entire team with
TITAN under the desk treadmills instead.
The
Rogue Echo bike is in my opinion the best choice for a home gym that is focused on performance. For long runs, you can go outside and get your running shoes on. For interval training and burning as many calories as possible in a short amount of time, there is no match for air bikes. Air bikes can accelerate and decelerate fast without costing a fortune. Technically the Jacobs ladder and the Versaclimber burn more calories per minute but they cost more and take up more space. Other Air bikes in the market are usually more than $1000 except the
TITAN fan bike which takes a low-budget clone approach to the
Echo bike.
The
Nordictrack 32i is the flagship
treadmill from Nordictrack. This beast has all the bells and whistles including a massive screen as well as incline and decline settings for running. If you want the full running experience and be entertained at the same time, this is the machine to get.IN return you have to give up a considerable share of your living space and wallet share.
Conclusion for the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
If you do not mind putting your hands and mind into a project you can build a cheap desk
treadmill using the
TITAN under desk treadmill as the belt. You could also get it as a cheap walker to get more steps in without having to go outside and watch the television. Apart from that, there are better options for a similar price out there, if you take your running and cardio seriously.
