Rank #3 in Best Training Sandbags 2026: 10 Ranked, Filled or Unfilled
CERBERUS Dual Ply Sandbag, 45 kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CERBERUS Strength Dual Ply Sandbag (2nd Gen) is third in this guide: a heavy-duty shell built to be filled at home, priced at £49.99 and rated 4.7 out of 5 from 97 ratings. Its listing carries the same split as the others here. Size reads 45kg — the weight the bag is built to carry — while Item Weight reads 630 g, which is the empty shell. Nothing in the advert states that sand is included; the closest it comes is the bullet "No liner required - simply fill up and go!".
Two other numbers in the same advert do not quite close. The 97 ratings are broken down as 81 five-star, 10 four-star, 7 three-star and 2 one-star, which adds up to 100. And the product code given in the spec table is not the one the product page itself uses. Neither point is an argument against the bag — the reviews quoted below are positive about the stitching, the filling and three months left outside in the weather — but both are reasons to read the advert rather than the headline. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not handled, filled or tested this sandbag ourselves.
How those 97 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

Questions people ask
Does the sandbag arrive filled?
No sand is supplied. The listing's own filling instruction is the bullet "No liner required - simply fill up and go!", and the item weight is given as 630 g, so the 45kg figure describes what the bag can be filled to, not what is delivered.
What does the 45kg figure refer to?
The Size field says 45kg and the Item Weight field says 630 g. Those are two different measurements in the same CERBERUS Strength listing: the load the shell is made for, and the weight of the empty shell.
What is the bag made from?
The bullets name 1050D Cordura ballistic nylon, bonded nylon thread designed for heavy-duty use, extra-strength Velcro and YKK zips. The outer material field in the spec table simply says nylon.
What do buyers say about how it holds up?
The 4.7 out of 5 comes from 97 ratings, and the breakdown is 81 five-star, 10 four-star, 7 three-star and 2 one-star. That breakdown totals 100, three more than the 97 ratings quoted on the listing.
How do you seal it once filled?
The listing mentions YKK zips and extra-strength Velcro but gives no further detail on the closure, beyond saying that no liner is required.
The spec table lists MMA, Team Cerberus and Combat Sports — is this a team product?
Those entries sit in the Sport Type, League Name and Team Name fields of the spec table. The product itself is a sandbag sold for strength and conditioning; the MMA and team fields read as listing fillers rather than features of the bag (as listed).
