Outdoor Events

Now let’s look at a power tower – a piece of equipment that helps you to build upper body and core muscular strength. Also known as a knee raise station or a captain’s chair, it gives support for leg and knee raises, dips, pull-ups, chin-ups and push-ups, allowing for a full torso workout consisting of a full range of compound movements. Those who are looking to improve their shoulder endurance or hand-eye coordination will find this speed bag’s balance particularly helpful. It will be suitable for the heaviest of athletes. It measures in at 65 cm wide, 109 cm deep and 223 cm tall, with a 110 cm wide pull-up bar. All of this combined means that, whilst it uses space economically, the BodyTrain Power Tower is suitable for even the largest, or heaviest of athletes.

It’s common enough to find either wall-mounted or doorway pull-up bars in people’s homes. There’s a good reason for this – pull-ups are just about the best exercise going for building upper body strength and size, specifically through the latissimus dorsi, abdominals, posterior deltoids and biceps. This heavy wall mount bag stand by Yes4All is made of heavy gauge steel and has the capacity to hold any punching bag up to 100 pounds. If you're cramped for space, this is your best bet. It's outfitted with eight bolt holes to firmly anchor it to the wall and a 360-degree swivel chain to help lessen the stress on the hanger and give your bag more support.It is another power tower, so that it will allow you to perform pull-ups, chin-ups, dips and leg raises. There are no push-up handles, but for the money you spend, performing push-ups the old fashioned way, palms flat on the ground, is no hardship (nor paying a tenner for a set of cheap push-up handles).

However, if you’re looking to put a home gym together on a shoestring, the Hardcastle Pull-Up Station is perfect. Though it’s not the best, it’s fantastic for the money. All in all, you get an astonishing range of exercise variety and information with this power tower. When compared to a large cardio machine like an elliptical or rower, punching bags can be space-saving while still providing a great workout. Punching bags only take up an area of about two square feet while cardio machines can take up six or eight square feet. You’ll need the space to move around the bag but that area can be used for storage when you’re not exercising with the bag. How We Chose the Best Punching BagsIf you’re looking to get into barbell work alongside your pull-ups, this is the one for you. Though you can’t perform dips and leg raises with it, the options for power barbell moves cannot be oversold. It’s fantastic for a home gym. The bar itself is straight, with angled sides, which is common enough. The straight bar is for chin-ups, generally, with the angled sides being perfect for pull-ups. It’s also a fair bit sturdier than it feels. Though it can wobble, it has an impressive top user weight of 120 kg, meaning most athletes will be able to use it safely. At 214 cm tall, with a footprint of 60 x 106 cm, it’s also one of the most space-efficient models we’ve tested. The mounting holes do not match the stud spacing in some walls, so you may need to reinforce it for additional support. There will be a bit of noise when this mount is in use, as you can hear the chain swiveling, but overall this wall mount is affordable, space-saving, and would be an excellent addition to any smaller home gym set-up. What We Like

People who want a denser, heavier target to practice power punches or new combinations at full force.Anyone who wants a shorter bag. Standing 69 inches tall, this bag is on the taller side of the market The PT300 calls itself a 7-in-1 Power Tower. Though it’s priced accordingly – this is not one of our budget options – they have built such a good piece of equipment here that you cannot begrudge them a bit of a stiff label. If you’re tired of the same slog of hitting the gym to lift some weights, and then jogging on the treadmill or pedaling on the bike, then a new type of workout may be a welcome reprieve. Punching bags offer a fun workout that can help you blow off some steam and work up a good sweat. They achieve this through a combination of high-intensity cardio and — for heavy bags specifically — moderate resistance training. Unique Challenge Though the 5-in-1 Multi Gym can lurk at the upper end of most budgets (it certainly has the capability to be the priciest on this list), VitalGym and third-party retailers aren’t shy of offering discounts.
