Power Bags

Buying guide

Power Bags buying guide

Power bags combine a weighted bag format with handles for a range of training movements. The Solid Strength collection includes individual bags from 5kg to 30kg and a set. Consider the load, handle positions and the number of people training before choosing one bag or a broader selection.

Choose weights for the whole session

Use the most demanding planned movement as part of your selection, rather than choosing only for a carry or the heaviest lift. A load that suits one exercise may not suit the rest of a circuit. For shared sessions, consider the spacing between available weights and how often people will need to swap equipment.

  • Check handle placement for the holds used in your programme
  • Compare individual weight options with the contents of the set
  • Allow enough bags for users who need the same weight at the same time

Think through handling and storage

Look at the bag's dimensions as well as its weight. Length and diameter affect how it sits against the body and how easily it fits the storage area. Check care instructions and permitted uses before planning throws or drops. Where bags will move between rooms, consider the full set’s storage footprint and keep the weight labels easy to see during equipment selection.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy one power bag or a set?

One bag can suit a specific exercise or known load. A set is worth considering when several movements or users need different weights. Compare its exact contents with your session plan rather than assuming every weight is needed.

Are power bags the same as strongman sandbags?

They are different formats. Power bags have handles, while strongman sandbags are selected for holding and moving the bag itself. Compare grip style, shape and intended movements alongside the stated weight.

Engineered for explosive strength and functional training, these sand-filled power bags offer versatility and durability. Elevate your training regimen - explore our Power Bags collection now!
