About Everlast
The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did.
Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world’s heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950’s and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family’s remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000.
Everlast men’s and women’s apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future.

Best Freestanding Bag I owned,
By
This review is from: Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag (Sports)
I had the same experience that the dude before experinced with the whole sliding around the carpet thing, but the screws on my bag are still going strong after hitting the bag everyday for months. I even took it apart to see if the screws were digging into the plastic & there were no signs of "digging," since there are rubber sleeves that go over the screws to help protect the plastic from any of that. As far as the performance of the bag....I love the whole spring action thing it's got. The workout you get on this bag is better than a regular freestanding bag due to the spring action. The combonations you can throw on this thing are phenomenal and you don't have to worry about it tipping over after your power punch. Nothing can beat a hanging bag, but this is the best alternative especially if you live in a small apartment or a dormitory like me.

Great Bag!,

This review is from: Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag (Sports)
Already having a 100# Leather Everlast bag hanging in my basement, the Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag was a nice addition. While I like the 100# bag for punching, it wasn't very soft to kick at the bottom. I purchased the freestanding bag for light bag work as well as pretty powerful kicks. The freestanding bag holds up great for everything. I only have one request for the manufacturer...eliminate the adjustable heights and go back to the way the old freestanding bag was...one long height on top of the drum. I took kickboxing classes at a local school and the type of bag they had was the old kind that Everlast no longer makes. One height allows for kicking/punching low, medium and high. It also allows for a low kick and then a round house kick. That kind of switching around doesn't really work with the adjustable height bag. I tend to set my freestanding bag up adjacent to my hanging bag for switching up high and low kicks and punches. Other than that, I would definately recommend this bag. It never feels weak or like it will break, no mater how much force I use. As many complaints as I have heard or read about the bag sliding around during use, I haven't experienced any movement. My bag sits on concrete, but I use sand rather than water to fill the drum for weight.

Very stable and realistic recoil, but the quality is horrible,
By
This review is from: Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag (Sports)
I think the best option is an old-fashioned hanging bag, but I've recently moved to an apartment complex. I don't think the landlord would like me hanging a 100lb bag in my living room, so I opted for a freestanding bag.
First I bought the Everlast Freestanding Heavy bag. The bag has a flex-spring thing in the middle that absorbs some of the punching power. This makes the bag recoil from a punch and it lets you do some very nice combinations. However, the bag still slides around my carpet, and I constantly needed to move it back to the middle of the room. Unfortunately the design of the equipment is very bad. The metal upper half (the part you punch) is connected to the plastic lower half by 2 metal bolts. I worked out on the bag for about 10 minutes and the bolts were loose. I tightened the bolts and started again...for about 10 more minutes. This process repeated several times before I saw that the metal bolts were digging into the plastic base. I returned the bag to the store and I purchased the Wavemaster Freestanding Heavybag. The design of the Wavemaster is one solid piece, so there should be any trouble with metal parts wearing out the plastic. Since the wavemaster is one solid piece, it doesn't have the recoil feature that the Everlast did. THis makes the combo punches feel more awkward. Also, when you hid it hard, it tips backward and it slides around worst than the Everlast did. The tipping and landing after each punch is annoying (probably more so to my downstairs neighbor though). The idea of a freestanding bag is attractive to a renter or someone with limited space, but in reality they arent that good. This is especially noticeable if you're used to working out with hanging bags. 2115|R1PJZH0NV63GVA;2115|R2T597G9P6VZMB;2115|R168RA3DVO07ND;
