Aqua Bag for Workout and Fitness - Training Power Bag with Water Weight - Exercise Sandbag Alternative - Portable Stability Fitness Equipment

The media could not be loaded. I have a small set of free weights that I use regularly, but I've been curious about trying out some high-end adjustable weights without breaking the bank. That's when the COOLU Aqua Bag caught my attention. Having previously worked as a prison guard where water bags were commonplace, this kit seemed intriguing. Inside the package, I found a water bag, a hand pump with an adapter, and instructions complete with workout examples. From the get-go, the bag exudes sturdiness, featuring robust nylon straps. I opted for the 44 lbs weight bag, and it conveniently sports easy-to-read measurements on the side. However, the real challenge lies in the nozzle on top of the bag, which you use to fill it with water. Filling it requires a simultaneous push on the nozzle while pouring water, so be prepared for a bit of a splash—a messy yet oddly refreshing process. Once it's full, you proceed to inflate the bag with air using the attached adapter. The setup is straightforward, though one can't help but wonder if there might be a more user-friendly approach. One notable concern is that if you choose not to fill the bag completely, using it can be a bit tricky. The water inside tends to slosh around, creating an imbalance that could lead to injury during exercises. Consequently, your exercise options become somewhat limited.Overall, the COOLU Aqua Bag has added an exciting twist to my fitness routine. While it may not be without its quirks, such as the slightly messy filling process and the potential balance issues when not fully loaded, it has proven to be a valuable addition to my home gym. Moreover, the bag's sturdy construction and easy-to-read measurements make it a reliable training companion. So, if you're looking to inject some excitement into your workouts without breaking the bank, this water-filled wonder is definitely worth a try. Above Average! B+

I was using this for a few months mostly as weight in my ruck. Unfortunately my bag feel off a normal high table and bust.

I’m pretty disappointed in this aqua workout bag! I got the 33lb size because it says you can use it for 11lbs, 22lbs or 33lbs. First of all it comes with 2 adapters that they don’t tell you what they’re for in the directions. I did what the directions said to fill it with water which didn’t work very well and then figured out that’s what the adapter is for, it made filling it slightly easier. It was time consuming and water everywhere just to get it to the 11lb mark. The handles were soaked because I had to do it in the bathtub because the bag is so big. A garden hose probably would’ve worked better but it’s only 30 degrees outside. Then I tried to add air to it with the air pump they included. I was able to get the air in pretty well but then when you use the bag the water swishes back and forth and all over the place so there is no even weight. I know the description says that’s a good thing but I didn’t think so. I guess I should’ve gotten the 11lb size because I could’ve filled it all the way up with water and maybe the water wouldn’t have moved around so much. I get the concept the we’re going for but find it too annoying to fill and don’t like the unevenness of the weight because the water moves around so much. Not worth it! I’ll go buy a couple of regular kettlebells for the price of this thing.

I work at a small recreation center and I ordered the Coolu Aqua bag for our members. I wanted to give them something a little different to incorporate into their workout.Once I received the aqua bag, I did have a little trouble getting it ready to use. If you do not have a water hose available, be prepared to get wet and it's going to take some time filling this thing. The aqua bag is to big to fill up in the sink, so I ended up having to fill the bag up in our locker room shower. This option took me quite a bit of time to get the bag up to the filling point. Then the foot/hand pump that's included was useless because it came without a hose connection that fit the bag. I had to manually fill the bag with air like I was blowing up a balloon. Its not as simple as you would think, but I managed to get it ready to use.It has been a challenge to this point to get members to use the aqua bag. Most just give it a quick stare and walk away. I'm not sure why they are not attempting to try it out, it could be it's not in the most visible area in the weight room. The members that have used the bag, have given mostly positive and neutral reviews, with the bad reviews generally being close to the same. Some members have had trouble balancing the aqua bag on some of the exercises and have said it hurts their wrist or forearms.Overall, the aqua bag gives a different type of workout and in my opinion a change of pace isn't bad.
