The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world's heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950's and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family's remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men's and women's apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future. What's in the Box?

 Ya get what ya pay for August 27, 2008
Everlast, but made in China!!??
The platform board was broken in half. It was made of some kind of crappy presswood (basically a step above cardboard). The rest of the set had "cheap" written all over it.
Spend the extra dough and buy American made (if you can even find American made anymore)...
worst buy I have made in years!!!!! August 14, 2008

I bought this to go along with my Everlast 80lb bag and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Number one the first and biggest problem is that it doesn't come with the F***** lag bolts that you need to mount the thing to a brick wall.The directions are very poor and automatically assume your mounting it to a wooden wall. I mean really how many people have wood walls in their basement? Number two the speed bag platform is made from particle board, and the swivel is made of 95% plastic. The bag itself comes deflated, and doesn't come with a needle to pump it up. The metal framing is cheap, and doesn't hold together right, The holes to mount it up on the wall on the metal framing are absurdly small 5/16 of an inch. So basically your paying $45 for a set of hand wraps, a jump rope, and bag gloves. I would not buy this unless you want the f*****g thing falling out of the wall and onto your head.
 everlast speed bag good for beginners only July 23, 2008

The first problem is that I finally have time to put the thing up and when I read the instructions, I quickly found that the most important item for assembly is NOT INCLUDED. I had to get 6 lag bolts before even assembling the thing. Of course it was late and the hardware store was closed - very frustrating. The bag is a little big and comes off the swivel attachment every once and a while - also frustrating. For the price it was a good value and beginners will enjoy it. For more advanced boxers, spend a little more and upgrade all parts.
Skipping rope is garbage - way too lightweight. Wraps are not flexible and too short. Bag gloves are unnecessary.
Go for better quality February 26, 2008
This is a good deal for the price. But when it comes to tools and gym equipment, better quality is always best! This is acceptable but not great!

The 6 piece set was more than I actuallly needed, but I didn't know where I was going to mount the speed bag and so I got the whole kit. The speed bag is really good quality and the swivel is better than I thought it was going to be. It is nice to have both the wrap and the gloves if you are a beginner because you may find that one suits you better than the other. I did not end up using the platform but the frame leads me to believe that it is very sturdy. The jump rope, ah, the jump rope is a nice touch and it is nice to have, but i's nothing special.
If you are looking for a fun and challenging arm workout the speed bag is a lot of fun to learn. It is not about punching something as hard as you can it is about controlling your punch. I like it, it's fun and it's a really good outlet on very bad days.
