Fitbench launches gloveless boxing bag for gyms

Fitbench has launched Fitbag, a gloveless boxing bag which has been designed to replace traditional boxing bags, both on the gym floor and in group training environments.

“Fitbag came directly out of conversations with gym owners and coaches,” says Tyler Danen, founder of Fitbench. “Everyone sees the same problems with boxing gloves – cost, hygiene, storage and delays to classes – but they’ve been accepted as ‘just part of boxing.’”

Fitbag features a gloveless striking surface with multi-density foam construction and a washable cover that can be replaced. There are no shared gloves, no sanitation stations and no transition delays, so members can move from strength to conditioning to striking.

Available in two sizes and with customisable branded skins, the product is suitable for open gym floors, functional training areas and group training studios.
