Collection: Weighted Sand Bags

If you’re looking for functional strength – the type that you can use day-to-day – you need weight training equipment that will challenge your whole body. Weighted sand bags do exactly that.

Filled with loose sand, Weighted sand bags form a tricky weightlifting challenge. Most feature a range of handles, and can be picked up in a number of unconventional ways, which engages muscles that other strength equipment, like barbells and dumbbells, can miss.

At GymQuip we offer a number of weighted sand bags. Our Canberra store is home to Australia’s largest fitness showroom, where you’ll find a complete range of strength training equipment. Not in Canberra? There’s an even wider selection on our online store. We can ship products to your door anywhere in Australia, protected by both our generous shipping and returns policy and our price beat guarantee..

Are sandbags effective for exercise?

Yes, if you want to gain functional strength, weighted sand bags can be very effective in helping you reach that fitness goal. The awkwardness and instability of a weighted sand bag makes it a unique lifting challenge that can quickly build full-body strength and power.

Are sandbag workouts good for weight loss?

Weighted sand bags can certainly help you lose excess weight, but keep in mind that as a strength and power-focused exercise, weighted sand bags can lead to fat being replaced with muscle. If your aim is to get leaner, then cardio-focused exercises may be a wiser choice of workout.
