Summer Sale is Here!

Let's see, is there any other way to say it? The economy sucks! While things may be taking a very slow turn for the better, it does seem some time away. Choosing what to spend your money on is even more important than ever. Trust me, things I would have normally purchased, risks I would have taken, or projects I would have launched are on the back burner because of the current economy. Does that mean my life is suffering? Nope, not in relation to many that are struggling to pay for their house, keep their jobs, or have to go back to work because their retirement is all gone.

That is exactly what happened to a close family manner. He was all set to retire in about two years and lost just about everything over the past year. I couldn't imagine saving your whole life only to lose it in one bad year!!!

Fitness is one of the few things that people can still do to make themselves better. Usually during times of stress we turn to bad habits, alcohol, junk food, smoking, not sleeping, yep, been there myself for several of these things. It is very destructive and only creates more problems as you feel more like crap.

That is why I wanted to launch the Summer Sandbag Stimulus Sale, sure it is a play on our current government, but more importantly it is something that allows people to enjoy fitness for a low cost! Some of you may say that our sale looks like our old prices and you are right!

It is vitally important that we keep production of these sandbags here in the US! Having gone overseas I can tell you the quality is higher, the ability to evolve is easier, and it helps keep US workers busy!

Most people don't understand that sandbags are one of the most costly fitness products to create. Why? There are several reasons...

1. You can't shortcut on any material on the sandbag or it will fail you! Sure, some companies try to skimp on the type of thread, canvas, or place less options on the bag so they can sell it for a high cost, but keep their costs low. This makes for an expensive piece of crap! How do I know? Having replaced many people who went for other brands I can tell you that this happens a lot! I recently yelled at my manufacturer when they were about to go with a cheaper thread to save a little extra money. He even said to me that he thought we were going overboard, I said there is no such thing in making a product people spend their hard earned money on.

2. It's all in the stitching! Unlike weights that usually just need a simple mold, sandbags require a great deal of detailed stitching that is very expensive when you do it right! Over the course of time we have increased our costs holding off on the retail price so we could make a superior sandbag.

You see it isn't as simple as just throwing some canvas together. From the double stitching, special canvas on both the shells and fillers, to reinforced handles, we have created something that is going to make you excited about training because it has made ME, one of the biggest skeptics, excited about training.

Don't just listen to me, listen from someone who fitness can save their life:

"I have never been as challenged by a single piece of equipment as I am with your sandbags! The creative design makes all the difference in the world. The placement of the handles, the rugged bag with the indestructible material, as well as the securing system truly makes it a piece of equipment that any serious, or not so serious, fitness enthusiast MUST HAVE! I should also mention that the different sizes that you offer, they truly are all you need for a complete gym!"
