Packweight

One size fits everyone.

The Packweight’s unique design allows you to control the size, shape, and weight. You could make it the size of a baseball all the way up to a 9-inch diameter, 9-inch tall cyclinder. This means that if you are short, tall, big, small, young, old, or someone in between, the Packweight will fit you.

The handle accomodates every hand size and capability. So it doesn’t matter if you are a Golden Glove, disabled veteran, or 8-year old in P.E., you will be able to handle and use the Packweight.

So affordable

At $50, the Packweight is one of the most affordable training tools on the market.

It would cost you a $4600 to purchase a full set of rubber encased dumbbells for indoor training — and they only go up to 100 lbs in 5lb increments.

The Packweight can be easily filled to weight between 1 and 150lbs with infinite increments. So forget the multiple weight sizes and rack and shipping. 1 – 2 Packweights and you are ready to go.

Other sandbag training items start at $60 and they only hold 45lbs.

Health shouldn’t be an expensive hobby.

Indoor-friendly

If you work out in your house or on any surface that you appreciate, then you are probably nervous about using free weights over that surface. One drop of a dumbbell and your precious word/tile/concrete floor is damaged. Don’t forget about the cat, dog, chinchilla, or whatever furry friend that likes to “spectate.”

The Packweight is extremely indoor-friendly. It contains no metal and is quite flexible. If dropped, the Packweight will flex and mold to the ground just enought to prevent injury and damages.

The Packweight is safe to use in and on:

Gymnasiums
Living Rooms
Basements
Hotel Rooms
Decks
Tile Floors
Wood Floors
Pretty much any surface

If you have to workout inside, the Packweight is the perfect option.

Versatile

Versatility is where the Packweight really shines. You are only limited by your imagination. We have had clients use them as:

weights
purses
compression sacks
sling packs
indoor hammers (hammer throw)
gardening sacks
double-ended speed bags
medicine balls
shooting stands
tent anchors
and impact trainers

Exercises that you can easily perform with a Packweight include: swing, jerk, snatch, military press, curl, butterfly, squat, power press, dumbbell press,dumbbell flyes, dumbbell pullovers, side raises, rear raises, clean & press, weighted pullups, deadlifts, turkish getup, one leg deadlift, one leg squat, concentration curls, hammer curls, shrugs, hyperextensions, good mornings, weighted crunch, weighted situps, leg curls, lunges, medicine ball twist, windmills, 2-hands anyhow, figure 8, floor press, seesaw press, and more.

We even had a client attach the Packweight to the end of his shovel to simulate weighted shoveling.

It’s time to go mobile.

There are 57,491,000 square miles of land on the earth. Why would you train indoors if you don’t have to? Free weight training in remote conditions is pretty much non-existent. Unless you can find a rock or log that you like, you are restricted to body-weight exercises. Well no more. The Packweight only weighs 13oz empty. That’s the same amount as your favorite bag of chips. So go, go far. When you get there, fill up your Packweight and start training. When you are done, empty it out and keep moving.

Variable weights

One major draw back to traditional free weights and traditional kettlebells is that they are a predetermined weight. This means that you probably own several different weights that you mix and match to achieve the desired amount. The Packweight has been tested for every amount between 0 and 150lbs. You want 65lbs? Just throw in some sand, 3 of your old 10lb plates and top it off with sand and you’re done. This ability is ideal for someone trying to increase their weight over time, but not wanting to buy every size weight. Just keep tweaking the contents of the Packweight to reach the desired weight. This also allows a smooth progression of weight instead of the traditional 5lb or 1/2 pood units.

Training Safely is Key

The cliché “better safe than sorry” was meant for kettlebell training. A good friend of mine said that free weight training is usually “self-correcting.” Meaning that you will only bang your knees or drop the weight on your toe once and you will learn. Well from the first designs of the Packweight we have sought a “safe” free-weight option. Something that is a little more forgiving if you are learning form or trying a heavier load. The Packweight is ideal for:

indoor training
learning new moves
beginners
uncoordinated people
parents
pet owners
travelers

Most of these people need something useful and safe. The Packweight is it.
