Out with the Old, In with the H20
In 2014, Aqua Training Bag® creators, Edwin “Eddie” Rivera and William “Bill” Ryders, knew something had to change when their members were sustaining repeated injuries from the old-school unforgiving, sand-filled heavy bags hanging in their gym.
They began searching high and low for a bag that was durable, sustainable, and didn’t have that dreaded, painful hard spot found in the sand-filled bags. But search after search they came up short. So they did what most gym owners wouldn’t dream of doing … they made their own.
And after experimenting with equipment of all shapes, sizes, and materials, Eddie and Bill discovered that the perfect solution for their new heavy bag wasn’t anything new at all, it was simple. It was water
