For classic strength and core training, models weighing four to seven kilograms are ideal, while heavy slam balls from eight kilograms upwards enable explosive throwing exercises, partner workouts and high-intensity interval training. This way, both beginners and ambitious strength athletes benefit from a suitable selection.
Buy slam balls & functional training

Physiotherapy patients and people in rehabilitation also benefit from gentle build-up training with light medicine balls. Medicine balls also offer versatile training options for cross-training, HIIT, group fitness and home gyms – regardless of individual fitness level.
Quality, Material & Workmanship
When buying a medicine ball, it is worth paying attention to a robust and grippy surface, high-quality materials such as durable leather or rubber and neatly finished seams. An evenly filled ball with balanced weight distribution ensures controlled movement sequences and a long service life – even with intensive use.
