Brute Force
Brute Force Sandbags/Training began in February 2010 by Keith Burns and RB. With a house in foreclosure, one of them jobless and the other in school, the two set out to make their own sandbag training equipment for the garage. The sandbags got the job done, but always made a huge mess on the floor. A few months later, RB scored a full-time job just when the demand for Brute Force Sandbags grew. This was a new problem: who was going to sew? Keith picked up the reins and forced himself to learn. The result was an immediate improvement to the product and a collection of four industrial sewing machines. Game on. Brute Force is a rare gem—they can still boast that their products are “made in the USA.” In fact, if you managed to get an earlier model, yours might even be sewn by one of the company’s founders! With rubber-free handles that won’t break or tear your skin, 1000D Mil-Spec Velcro combined with a quality YKK Mil-Spec zipper and Cordura nylon (hard-core stuff used in the military), and a washable shell that won’t deteriorate, we see where the product gets its name! Brute Force is convinced you will love their equipment, so much so that, if for any reason you are not 100% satisfied, you can take advantage of a 30-day money back guarantee. In addition, all sandbags are backed with a 2-year warranty. Not that you’ll need to worry about that, since they’re the only sandbag with reinforcements inside the shell, providing sturdy and long-lasting outer handles. With four sizes available (Mini-Mouse™ 0-25 lbs, Athlete Kit™ 0-70 lbs, Strongman™ 0-120 lbs , and Heavy Hitter™ Xtra Large), your needs will be met no matter what. That’s a risk-free investment. The US military knew something about working out 60 years ago, when sandbags were first launched as a training prop. It’s more challenging to lift a shape-shifter like a bag than the equivalent weight in a solid and defined mass like a kettlebell or dumbbell. Plus, they empty for easy transport, making them a truly portable piece of exercise equipment. Brute Force offers an assortment of additional equipment and accessories, as displayed on their web site (from ballistic pull-ups and barbells to box gear and workout chips). Each of them has proven worthy of the name. You’ll find their equipment in CrossFit studios, police and fire training programs, homegrown gyms, and more. Rest assured: with Brute Force, you’re in good company.?
