Amazon.com Product Description

An ideal kickboxing trainer for weight loss and cardiovascular health, the Health Mark BT22000 dual-pad kickboxing station offers a pair of padded arms along the sides and an inflatable speed bag in the middle, giving you several punching and kicking targets. The pair of foam-padded arms is fully adjustable, so you can position them at a 45-degree angle up, a 45-degree angle down, or horizontal. As a result, you can design several different workouts depending on which muscles you want to exercise. The inflatable speed bag, meanwhile, is equipped with a foam-covered coil spring that provides outstanding reflex action. Perhaps best of all, the kickboxing station sports six height positions--from 46 to 56 inches--helping it accommodate both children and adults. Other details include a 48-inch wingspan, soft vinyl-covered target zones on the pads to cushion the fists, a pump for the speed bag, and a stabilizing base that holds either water or sand.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be designed for kids, February 26, 2009

By 

AZ - See all my reviews

This review is from: Health Mark BT22000 MMA Dual Pad Kick Boxing Station with Speed Bag (Sports)

This product looked so cool in the picture that I just had to get it. I am a little disappointed though.

Cons:
1) It's too short
The description says that the height varies from 48-56 inches. This measurement is obviously not from the floor to the top of the "head" or speed bag. I guess maybe that is true if you have the arms pointed straight up. When I use it, I feel a little like Kramer in that episode of Seinfeld where he is fighting those little kids in karate class.

2) The pole spins when you hit the arms
As another reviewer pointed out, when you hit one of the hand targets, the whole thing spins (sometimes upto 180 degrees). I am guy, but not an expert at martial arts. So I hit and kick harder than a child, but I am not crushing it. The problem is that you have to reset the arms after every strike. It breaks up the continuity of the workout.

3) The spring on the punching bag seems too long.
When you give the bag a good bop, it doesn't bounce back very quickly. So, don't expect to do much speed work with it.

4) It's a little more cheaply made than I expected
The punching bag is thick rubber/vynil, so I am not afraid of popping it, but it is not the same material that you see in other speed bags. The hand targets are not even close to the quality of the paddle targets that we use in our taekwondo class. That may be why they designed it to spin. Still, I am not terribly afraid of breaking it in the next few weeks or anything.

Final Word
I got this to use at home because I don't really have anyone to hold paddle targets for me. If I can figure out a way to make it stop spinning when I kick it, then I will be much happier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really great for novices, January 31, 2011

H-Bomb - See all my reviews

This review is from: Health Mark BT22000 MMA Dual Pad Kick Boxing Station with Speed Bag (Sports)

This kickboxing station has been great for me as a novice kickboxer. The arms are adjustable upwards and downwards which is great for punches and different kicking heights. I'm 5'5" so the speed bag is at a perfect height for me at the highest setting. If you're tall you might have to set it on top of something to elevate it. The only other complaint I have is that filling the base with water does not give it enough base weight when you build strength and endurance, so it has a tendency to wobble and teeter. I'm thinking sand might give a heavier weight to the base. Otherwise, its a great tool to have in a small space for a good and accurate punching/kicking workout.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really what I expected, November 30, 2008

I expected this to be a little more stable; when you kick/punch the arms, the entire pole swings around. No need for cushioning on the pads; they don't stay still anyway.

It's still a decent piece of equipment, and doesn't take up much room. I'll figure out how to deal with the swinging arms, but I'm not crazy about them.
