Freedom Strength Training Sandbag with 10 Neoprene Handles
Stop Settling for Weak Handles and Cheap Nylon
ā Highest-Rated: 4.98/5 Stars (200+ Verified Reviews)
Built with 1680D Ballistic Nylon and a full-size integrated liner for superior durability and balanced weight distribution. Trusted by 2,700+ athletes worldwide.
The Freedom Strength Training Sandbag is built for athletes who demand more from their equipment. With 10 ergonomically placed neoprene-padded handles ā not plastic, not rubber, not bare fabric ā you get a confident grip no matter the movement: clean, carry, press, squat, or throw.
Built from 1680D Ballistic Nylon with exceptional abrasion resistance, this bag is engineered to outlast years of heavy training. Internal webbing reinforcements at every stress point mean this sandbag won't fail when you push past your limits.
Why Full-Size Integrated Liner Matters
Most training sandbags use small, separate filler bags that bunch up inside, creating dead space and an unbalanced load. This causes two problems:
- Unbalanced load: The bag feels awkward and shifts unpredictably during lifts and carries
- Poor weight distribution: Sand settles unevenly, making the bag feel lumpy and unpredictable
Freedom Strength uses a full-size integrated liner ā the same professional design as our competition-proven Strongman Sandbags. The liner fills the entire outer shell, so sand distributes evenly throughout the bag for a balanced, natural feel on every movement.
This isn't a small detail. It's the difference between a sandbag that feels like a quality training tool and one that feels like a lumpy sack of sand.
Full-size integrated liner ensures even weight distribution and balanced feel
What Makes It Different

- 1680D Ballistic Nylon shell & inner liner ā a 68% heavier-denier fabric than the 1000D Cordura used by Rogue and GoRuck
- Full-size integrated liner ā not a small separate filler bag ā our one-piece liner fills the entire shell so sand distributes evenly and the bag holds its shape
- Integrated built-in funnel ā fill in minutes, no separate funnels to buy or lose
- Double Velcro + YKK zipper closure ā sand stays where it belongs
- Internal webbing reinforcements ā added strength at every stress point
- 7 sizes from 15 to 250 lbs ā from youth athletes to competitive strongmen
- Used in Tactical Games competitions ā trusted by tactical athletes nationwide

What Athletes Are Saying
"This was my first Freedom Strength training bag (I have 3 strongman bags already) and I love it! My last off-brand handled bag started leaking within a few weeks, but this one is extremely durable. I also love the handles, all other training bags I've had have had handles that are way too long and thin, the ones on the Freedom Strength bag are much more functional. It's a great training bag and I 100% recommend it"
ā Kindall M., Verified Buyer
"I used my sand bag in a fitness and shooting competition. We tortured this 100lb bag for 2 days straight throwing it over objects and slamming it in the ground. These bags are tough as nails! Couldn't be happier"
ā Zac W., Verified Buyer
"Love my sandbag. The quality exceeds expectations. I also LOVE how easy it is to fill with sand. The design was definitely made by those who lift and use them. Highly recommend!"

How to Fill Your Sandbag
What you'll need:
- Dry play sand (available at any hardware store)
- Bathroom or postal scale (to verify weight)
Step-by-step:
- Open the velcro closure, unzip the top zipper, and pull out the integrated funnel
- Open the funnel and roll over the sides one time (this helps keep it open for you while filling)
- Slowly pour dry play sand (available at Home Depot, Lowe's, or any hardware store for $5-8 per 50 lbs) into the funnel opening
- As you fill, place the bag on a scale to monitor weight
- Fill to your desired weight (do not exceed the maximum weight range)
- When filled, close the integrated funnel making sure the velcro seals completely, roll the funnel fabric over on itself, and tuck it back into the bag
- Close the zipper completely
- Seal the top velcro to keep everything secure
- You're ready to train!
Pro tip: Fill in a garage or outdoor area to minimize sand mess. The entire process takes about 15 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Freedom Strength training sandbags and other brands?
Two major differences set Freedom Strength apart: (1) Full-size integrated liner ā Most competing sandbags (including GoRuck and Rogue) use small, separate filler bags that bunch up and create dead space. Freedom Strength uses a single full-size integrated liner that fills the entire shell for even weight distribution and balanced feel. (2) Superior materials ā Freedom Strength uses 1680D Ballistic Nylon (a 68% heavier-denier fabric than the 1000D Cordura used by Rogue and GoRuck), combined with neoprene-padded handles, built-in funnel, and internal webbing reinforcements.
What size training sandbag should I buy?
Beginners should start with the Small (40-60 lbs). Intermediate athletes training for CrossFit or general strength do well with Medium or Large (60-100 lbs). Advanced athletes and strongman competitors should look at X-Large through Monster (125-250 lbs). For a child or youth athlete, the Kids size (15-25 lbs) is purpose-built for smaller frames.
What type of sand should I use to fill the sandbag?
We recommend dry play sand, available at most hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe's. Avoid wet or damp sand as it can add unpredictable weight and may affect the bag over time. Do not fill beyond the maximum recommended weight range.
Does the sandbag come filled with sand?
No ā all Freedom Strength sandbags ship empty. This keeps shipping costs low and lets you fill to your preferred weight using dry play sand available at any local hardware store.
How durable are Freedom Strength training sandbags?
Freedom Strength training sandbags are built from 1680D Ballistic Nylon, a 68% heavier-denier fabric than the 1000D Cordura used by Rogue and GoRuck. Additional webbing reinforcements at every stress point provide maximum durability. Every bag is backed by a 1-year warranty covering defects and wear from regular training. Damage from misuse, overfilling past the maximum weight, or slamming is not covered.
What exercises can I do with a training sandbag?
Training sandbags are extremely versatile. Common exercises include: sandbag cleans, squats, deadlifts, shouldering, ground-to-overhead, overhead press, bear hug carries, shoulder carries, suitcase carries, bent-over rows, get-ups, and rotational movements. The 10 handles allow for varied grip positions suited to all these movements.

Freedom Strength Training Sandbags use 1680D Ballistic Nylon (a 68% heavier-denier fabric than Rogue and GoRuck's 1000D Cordura), a full-size integrated liner (GoRuck uses separate filler bags that bunch up), and 10 neoprene-padded handles (Rogue uses 7 bare webbing handles).
