Gym Gear offers an excellent range of slam balls for commercial gyms, home gyms, and studio gyms.
Slam balls are great pieces of gym equipment to give users powerful and explosive movements. They help with building strength, building muscular endurance, increasing speed times and reaction times, and toning muscles.
Slam balls are different from medicine balls as they have a more robust design. They’re perfect for circuit training, functional training, and CrossFit – an essential piece of equipment for any commercial gym.
Our slam balls are ultra-durable, made from top-quality materials, meaning they can withstand high impact. They’re filled with sand to absorb the energy from slamming and they have an extra-thick rubber shell for fantastic durability. These are non-bouncing, non-rolling balls that have a textured, non-slip grip to make them easier to handle.
Our slam balls are available in the weights 3 kg 5 kg, 7 kg, 9 kg, 12 kg, 15 kg.
All of our balls can be paired with either the 5 Ball Single Sided Storage Rack or the 10 Ball Double Sided Storage Rack. These racks are brilliant storage solutions for busy gyms, training classes, and home gyms where keeping the floors free of mess is really important.
