Hyperwear SandBell Neoprene SandBag Free Weight Unfilled 2-50 lbs

These things are great. Ok face it dumbbells may be the best, but they have their limits. Weighted Bars, Kettlebells, Medicine balls and of course Dumbbells are all great tools and each have their own little speciality but SANDBELLS let you do things none of these other great tools will. The various grip techniques that you can do with Sandbells can never be done with the other tools. For those of us who run a keyboard and mouse for a living hand wrist and grip are very important things, just as they are with many other professions and sports. So Far I have the 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 15lb versions but plan to purchase the heavier ones as well. Filling them cost about 7 bucks and a little time, a funnel is almost necessary but I had one. There were no instruction or recomendations on exactly to close them up but common sense did. For the record roll up the fill spout/neck and tuck it in the cavity where it comes out. This seems to work fine and I have had no spills. It is easy to open them back up and add or subtract more sand. I have used these as a replacement in the same moves I would do with the other tools, and found that I seem to feel more workout in my hands and wrists. This is what I expected and wanted. I have also used them on a rebounder and they are good, you do have to try n get em to hit flush and not on the outer seem or they seem to bounce akwardly(not necessarily a bad thing). I prefer these to medicine balls with handles because the grip variations with SandBells are better. I haven't had them all that long yet but they seem durable enough and they are a great addition to my workout tools. The versatility of these SandBells will surely bring a new dimesion to anyones workout routine and they don't hurt if you drop them on your foot.

So, a few months ago I ordered an Ultimate Sandbag (Power Pink Package) for my Body Rock workouts. It comes with 2 filler (patented) bags that can be filled up to 15 lbs each. Not supposed to leak sand. They did. Also, the top of the velcro folds (on the corners) would often leave bruises on my forearms when I was doing cleans because they shifted inside the sandbag. I called the company- they sent me new filler bags. Same thing happened- but even worse. After research- I decided to purchase 2 of the 15lb sandbells (empty) as they are soft material with no hard edges.I filled them to about 9 lbs each. I like them and ordered one more to add a little more weight and balance and to fill up the space in the bag. This is an awesome solution for me and even if it weren't, these bad boys were made to be used like dumb bells. Anyway, highly recommend.

I liked it, but didn't love it. I bought the sandbells to throw some variety into my exercise classes. The shifting sand makes using these a great workout.Pros: I like the fact that they come empty and you can fill them yourself. Saves on shipping.They are tough, I was skeptical at first about how durable they were, but after putting them through a few bootcamp classes they held up quite nicely.Cons: The manufacturer said they may leak a few granules, however, both of the sandbells I bought leaked dust everywhere. It came out of the seams on the edge of the sandbell.The 'Ngazzle' (pronounced nozzle, how you fill the sandbell up) seems to keep working its way out of both of the sandbells I bought, I haven't found a solution to fix this yet.Overall: Despite the subtle leaking of dust, I probably will buy more of these. If you use this product in an environment that isn't nitpicky about keeping everything clean all the time, these are a great addition to your workout!

I wanted a filled bell and got an unfilled one. Pretty careful selecting as I didn't want to mess with filling this up. When ordering the filled/unfilled was conveniently cut off on order summary and even when selecting the item to check...again. My advice just buy unfilled.Sandbells are wonderful, very hard for little ones to hurt themselves with, my girls think it is funny to drop on their feet. They also work to hold down things that shouldn't tip. Ours do double duty as Christmas Tree anti tip device.

This is my fifth Sandbell that I have purchased. I use them on a regular basis for my High School players and personal training.The Sandbells are easy to fill as long as you have a long neck funnel. A rubber band is supplied to seal the filling tube.How to use them.The video provided by Hyperwear really help guide in the different exercises you can perform them. They can be used similar to dumbbells, medicine balls, kettle bells, and slam balls.I load mine in backpacks or sand bag for in doing bodyweight push ups and pull ups.MaintenanceI have had a set for over 5 years and clean them every two weeks with OdoBan.I have had to re-fill the sand in them a couple of times. This is mainly due to the slam workouts that I use with the high school teams. The Sandbells do not leak but the sand breaks down. This appears a fine dusk when throw them down.

I want to love these sandbag-type dumbbells, because they're a great idea. And they are safe, effective, and travel well. BUT good luck filling and un-filling them. You have to find just the right kind of sand, which isn't easy because most hardware store sand doesn't go down a funnel easily. I've tried "multipurpose" sand and "playground" sand, but each time, the sand simply got stuck in the funnel. I also cut the tip of the funnel to make it wider, and still the sand got stuck. See the attached pic. Of course beach sand works great, but I no longer live close to a beach. So, until they make (1) sandbells with a wide mouth that you can zipper open/close or (2) sandbells you can fill with water, I won't be buying anymore Hyperwear Sandbells.
