Core Home Fitness FightMaster Boxing Trainer

Variety is a spice of life when it comes to Fitness this gives you a better training experience than a kickbag and don't get me wrong kickbags are great but once in a while you want to switch it up and this is a really good option. I did some research and I was getting ready to buy the Body Action System however I did not like the fact that you had to use sandbags to keep the equipment down. I looked into the box Master but they wanted $3,000 for this and you had to Anchor it to the floor so it would have to be stationary. Then finally I came across the fightmaster and in many ways it resembles the boxmaster just more reasonable for your budget. After using this piece of equipment I'm impressed it's very durable extremely strong well-made there is one con however; and it is a small con, this is extremely difficult to put together almost like arranging a puzzle. Don't get me wrong I'm extremely handy with tools but there is little spacing for these bolts from one to the other that could cost you a potential problem. None the less I absolutely love this thing and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something that would rival the boxmaster for home use. UPDATE! I really dont like the large stand....so I made an alteration, it is now attached to my rack system. I feel this was a miss on Core Fitnesses part cuz we all know stands take up too much space so their really should be a universal mount.

Delivery comes in two boxes. The larger box is quite heavy. It may be bent/broken upon delivery, but don't despair. There are curved frame parts in that box, so the contents are likely not damaged (mine we weren't).Assembly is quite straightforward. You will need assistance assembling the center frame post (need someone to hold it erect) and the middle position pad assembly (need someone to hold it flush to the upper frame assembly).Tools I used:Ratchet (normal 3/8 drive)5/8" socket1/2" socketPliers (slip joint)5/8" combo wrench1/2" combo wrenchUtility knifeThere is assembly hardware (bolts, washers) in BOTH boxes. Keep in mind if you are the count-everything-out type (I am). The only murky part was attaching the middle position assembly to the middle position pad. The instructions aren't as clear as they could be. In short: the mounting plate inside the pad goes between the 3 assembly posts, even though the assembly seems weird.Subtracting 1/2 star due to low quality instructions - in this day/age, there's no need to have fuzzy diagrams. It's more like 1/4 star, tho.Withholding the other 1/2 star until after I put some mileage on it.Unquestionably a great piece of equipment for the home gym. It is not cheaply constructed, mass produced.

Man was this a hard product to find in the US!! I only could find one vendor and it didn't come with assembly instructions so it took me nearly 2 weeks to figure it out. I would recommend having two people assemble the base because it just gets difficult to hold the long base and plate that goes underneath. You should also have a compact drill, otherwise your hands are going to get really tired.Anyway onto the product itself,I love how the base has wheels on it so you can move it really easily and can adjust the height. The best part is that all the pads have a great spring to them which feels very close to someone naturally holding the pads as you strike them. The middle pad is good for knee strikes, uppercuts, rib strikes, and elbows to a point. The only thing that this is missing is the low kick-pad that the commercial version (boxmaster) has. It is a little pricey at nearly $600, but well below the $3,000 price-tag of its commercial counterpart.It may be a little confusing to use if you aren't at least partially familiar with boxing, so I'd recommend using youtube tutorials. A good start would be HasFit's 30 minute cardio kickboxing if you are just looking for fitness rather than serious boxing training, regardless this is a great product That I don't think you'll regret. I definitely love it.

I purchased The FightMaster about 2 months ago and absolutely love it! I previously owned the BAS unit and the FightMaster blows that piece out of the water. I am not a boxer but love doing boxing for the cardio workout.The FightMaster was relatively easy to assemble and is built like a tank. It has held up very well. I use it almost daily and there are not signs of wear or tear.I love the angles of the pads. They allow me to throw any style of punch that I want. The center multi-pad sets The FightMaster apart from any other heavy bag or punching bag that I have ever used. I love doing upper cuts on it and love the resistance that it provides.I saw that they just came out with an app for my phone. It has a bunch of good workout and how to videos on it. Hopefully they will keep updating it with new content.Overall I absolutely love The FightMaster and would recommend this piece to anyone.

The media could not be loaded.  I am a 63 yr old women.who loves to box.its my 4th piece of boxing equipment..and I love my Fight master..It took a bit to put together but now it's up and it awesome.it is very well made and worth every penny..
