No, the sandbag is shipped empty so you would have to fill it with your own sand.
It is recommended to use dry, clean sand for filling the sandbag workout bag. Dry sand ensures the bag's durability and prevents potential mold or mildew issues. You can typically find suitable sand at local hardware stores like Lowe's or Home Depot.
Simply visit your local hardware store and ask for masonry sand, plastering sand, or play sand. These sands are typically pre-washed and dried before bagging, making them suitable for use in sandbag workouts.
Other fillers that can be used in sandbag workout bags include pea gravel and rubber mulch. Pea gravel consists of small rocks, adding a unique challenge for stability and grip during exercises. Rubber mulch, made from recycled rubber, offers a softer, more forgiving feel, reducing joint impact. Both options are affordable and widely available, making them suitable alternatives to sand.
While it is possible to fill your sandbag with beach sand, it is not the ideal choice. Beach sand may contain organics, resulting in unpleasant smells, and sharp shell fragments that could damage your sandbag liner over time. Instead, opt for playsand or masonry sand, available at stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. These sands are washed, dried, and have larger particles, making them more suitable for sandbag use.
If you decide to use beach sand, consider placing filler bags in contractor bags, cutting them to size, and sealing them with duct tape before inserting them into the sandbag. This method helps keep water out and prolongs the life of your sandbag.
To minimize dust and sand leakage from your sandbag when using it indoors, follow these recommendations:
Use the right sand: Typically, the majority of dust-related issues can be resolved by selecting clean and dry sand types such as playsand or masonry sand, available at hardware stores. These sands are pre-washed and dried, making them more suitable for sandbag use and significantly reducing dust.
Add a protective layer using contractor bags: If dust leakage persists, or the recommended sand types are unavailable, try using contractor bags. First, place the filler bags inside heavy-duty contractor bags (or large trash bags). Then, cut the contractor bags to fit the filler bags and seal them with duct tape. Finally, insert the sealed filler bags into the sandbag. This extra layer helps to contain dust and sand effectively, preventing leaks and maintaining a clean indoor area.
