Slam Man

A boxing partne that does not hit back!!! In theory this sounds like a great bit of equipment but please read this before buying one and then make your mind up. I wanted one of these things for ages but when I got it I was not so happy. The slam man costs around £200 and £210 inc delivery. It must be filled with 100kgs of sand (water is no good) this is a further £12 - £15, you will need to buy some better gloves as the ones provided are poor (sparring gloves are best) extra £15. Ready to go???? nope!! Filling Slam Man with sand is not as easy as it sounds.. the hole in which you do this is very small and if your sand is slightly damp then it will ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased the SlamMan for working out and getting back into boxing and I thought this would be a motivating way to do that since the SlamMan is like an interactive sparring partner without punching back. Unfortunately, it requires a ton of sand, which takes a long time to fill and not to mention extremely difficult getting it out. Also, when I first put it together and took my first punch the chest sensor went flying off and I had to try and put it back on manually. I was also trying to push the buttons on the computer and it no longer beeped each time a light appeared. Oh, which if you are going to use the SlamMan I highly recomend using it indoors with ...  Read the complete review

I didn't just want to get an exercise bike, rowing machine or treadmill (they always end up a cluttered clothes horses), but something a bit different and I found the Slam Man. I had spotted it on MTV on an episode of Cribs, unbelievably it was the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne puching one in his gym with Britney :-) written on its forehead. I browsed the internet and found it advertised with www.boysstuff.co.uk for £299. My friend just bought one from Argos for £250 When he arrived it was a simple set up with the instructions and ...  Read the complete review

Having owned several punch bags in my time and having a few hundred quid burning in my pocket for a bit of a boys toy!, One of my work colleauges told me he had just purchased this slam man!... This lead me on to seeing why this toy cost him £284... On first impression the slam man looks hysterical, only when you say "Hang on, thats for real", do you take its function seriously... I wee'd myself when I saw what my work mate had brought (he was a big overweight at the time) you had to be there I guess... The slam man comes in 2 parts, the torso and the base, the torso then attaches to the base, once you fill the base with sand, once you ...  Read the complete review
