Best Sandbag for HYROX Lunge Training: Sizes, Race Weights and Our Picks

HYROX’s seventh station is 100 m of sandbag lunges with the bag across both shoulders. It’s hard to rehearse without a bag at your race weight. Here’s which sandbag to buy and which size you need.

This guide is based on Garage Gym Reviews’ best workout sandbags, updated November 10, 2026, and the HYROX rulebook. We haven’t tested these bags ourselves. Prices are GGR’s and may change. Our Amazon links are affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure.

Race weights, in pounds

Division	Race sandbag	In pounds
Open women	10 kg	about 22 lb
Open men	20 kg	about 44 lb
Pro women	20 kg	about 44 lb
Pro men	30 kg	about 66 lb

Weights are from the 2026/27 Singles Rulebook; conversions are ours. Race bags are soft sandbags made by Centr.

Which size fits your division?

Bag (GGR award)	Price	Sizes	Fits 10 kg	Fits 20 kg	Fits 30 kg
REP Fitness (best overall)	$39.99–$89.99	5–25, 25–75, 50–125, 125–200 lb	5–25 lb	25–75 lb	25–75 lb
Rogue Sandbag 2.0 (best with handles)	$130–$180	Max 40, 80 or 150 lb	Small	Medium	Medium
GORUCK (most durable)	$85–$165	20, 40, 60, 80, 120 lb	20 lb is close	40 lb is close	60 lb is close

GORUCK’s sizes are fixed, so the closest options sit a little under race weight. If you want both 20 and 30 kg from one bag, REP’s 25–75 lb or Rogue’s medium covers both.

The picks

REP Fitness Sandbag: best overall

GGR’s top pick runs from $39.99 to $89.99 across four sizes.

• 1000D Cordura shell with seven soft-grip handles
• Modular filler bags you fill yourself
• Drawbacks: GGR found the filler bags inconvenient, and there are some reports of metal grommets popping off

Rogue Sandbag 2.0: easiest to fill

$130 to $180, with an integrated funnel filler bag that GGR says makes filling easy.

• Seven nylon-webbing handles, made in the USA
• Drawbacks: expensive, one colour, and not compatible with Rogue’s modular filler bags

GORUCK Sandbag: most durable

$85 (20 lb) to $165 (120 lb), with a lifetime guarantee.

• Four padded handles and double-Velcro filler bags
• Drawbacks: the 80 and 120 lb sizes need two filler bags, which GGR found hard to fit

Training tips

1. Fill to race weight and weigh it. A bathroom scale is enough to check you’re at 10, 20 or 30 kg.
2. Practise the race position. The rulebook requires the bag on both shoulders the whole way, with the trailing knee touching the ground each rep. Our lunges guide covers the rules and pacing.
3. Protect your knees and floor. A BesWin 6 mm mat helps at home, and our knee sleeves guide covers whether sleeves are worth it.
