Which Multistation?

RedXIV

Hi guys,

Have been watching myself get out of shape for the last while and finally want to start doing something about it. Did TKD for a good few years and dabbled in a good few other disciplines and would like to get back into it. However, at the moment, it doesn't suit to try and get to a club with irregular work hours and a very young new addition to the family. I was initially going to get a free standing frame to put a kickboxing bag up in my garden (rented property so I doubt they want me to attach it to the walls) but then I thought if I was going to do that, I may as well get something with a bit more functionality.

I was looking at something like this thing but it wouldn't be EXACTLY what I was looking for

but I know very little about these machines other than how to hit the bags

So if anyone has any advice about what to get or what to avoid, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it?

Cheers!

2 bolt holes won't freak your rented overlords out too much.
That thing looks hideous. Just buy a bag and a little bracket i'm sure your landlords are not that sad

That looks like a huge waste of money. I had a steel ffabricator make me a punchbag bracket with a chin up bar on the front and two handles in the middle for a hundred buck. I can swap many types of bag easily. You can get a dip station from irish lifting for another hundred or better yet, some rings for 50 which can be hung from the chin up bar and give you even more flexibility.

I was thinking originally of getting one made but i don't know anyone who works with steel and didn't know if it'd cost more than that (construction noob here). I'd prefer to get something made to my specifications so I might go look down that route instead.

Never thought of the rings though, may steal that idea.

@digme, thanks, but the walls I'd have to put the holes in aren't mine, they belong to my two neighbours. Appreciate any input though!

I should add then, thet I used 5 big rawl bolts that will never leave the wall there sunk into.
