Description

Sandbag alternative for serious functional training

The RAM is a cylindrical weight made from recycled rubber – developed by Irish manufacturer RAMfit for everything you'd otherwise do with a sandbag, wallball or medicine ball, just tougher, drop-proof and with no sand to worry about. You can throw it, drop it, shoulder it, press it overhead, run with it in a carry or use it as a weight on your chest for push-ups. The cylindrical shape with two open ends gives you multiple grip options – at the end, in the middle, or with your hands inside the openings for more stable carries. Exactly what DEKA training, HIIT intervals, hybrid WODs and HYROX prep demand in daily box use.

Foam roller built in – training and recovery in one

The hollow cylinder shape isn't just a grip feature. After your session, you can use the RAM straight away as a foam roller – quads, IT band, upper back, calves. The rubber surface gives you the right firmness for deep-tissue rolling, so you don't need a second recovery tool. In our pre-launch testing this worked out: one tool for the conditioning section and for the cool-down. Handy when you're running outdoor sessions too – the RAM works indoor and outdoor and doesn't care about concrete or grass.

Pressed from one piece – no seam, no closure

100% recycled material from the rubber industry, pressure-moulded, with no seam or closure. There's nothing that can open up, leak or tear – unlike the classic sandbag, which usually starts losing sand after 18 months of box use. RAMfit markets the tool with the claim "1 Million Reps Guaranteed" – and that's exactly how the RAM feels in your hand. Small visual imperfections like minor cracks or surface marks are part of the manufacturing process and the recycled material, and don't affect function or lifespan.

Straight from the manufacturer – cross equip is the official Swiss distributor

We're the official Swiss distributor of RAMfit. That means: shorter delivery routes, replacement and service questions go directly through us, and when you have questions, you talk to someone who actually trains with the RAM. We picked RAMfit because the tool simply holds up in our pre-launch testing – even after months of hard sessions, with no sand loss and no seam issues.

RAM weight variants at a glance

Variant Weight Length Best for
RAM-5 5 kg 36 cm Beginners, technique, mobility, youth training
RAM-10 10 kg 61 cm Conditioning, high reps, light sandbag volume
RAM-15 15 kg 64 cm Hybrid athletes, DEKA training, mixed WODs
RAM-20 20 kg 65 cm Strength intervals, carries, men's sandbag volume
RAM-25 25 kg 66 cm Heavy carries, hybrid training, athletic sessions
RAM-30 30 kg approx. 66 cm Strongman hybrid, heavy cleans, strength coaches

The right choice depends on your training. For pure technique and entry-level work, 5 or 10 kg is enough. If you train DEKA or build HYROX volume, go for 15–20 kg. 25–30 kg is the upper end for heavy carries, cleans and strongman hybrid work. In most boxes, three weights run in parallel – one light, one medium, one heavy – so every athlete can train.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a RAM and how is it different from a sandbag?
The RAM is a cylindrical weight made from a single piece of recycled rubber. Unlike a classic sandbag, it has no shell, no zipper and no sand that will eventually leak. That makes it drop-proof and more durable, but it's less malleable – a sandbag moulds to your body when you shoulder it, the RAM stays rigid. We sell both because both have their place.
Can I train HYROX with the RAM?
For training yes – for the actual race no. In HYROX races, the Sandbag Lunges are done with a classic sandbag, and the RAM doesn't replace it in competition. In training it's a solid sandbag substitute for volume, cleans, carries and conditioning. If you want to train race-specific, you should also have a classic sandbag.
Which weight is right for me?
Rule of thumb: If you're new to sandbag or hybrid training, start at 10 kg. If you train CrossFit or functional fitness regularly, 15–20 kg works well. 5 kg makes sense for technique, mobility and youth training. 25–30 kg is the upper end for heavy carries, cleans and athletic work. For HYROX training, go by the race weight for your category.
Can I really use the RAM as a foam roller?
Yes. The cylindrical shape with a 15 cm diameter fits anatomically for quads, IT band, hamstrings, calves and upper back. The rubber surface gives you deep-tissue rolling – firmer than a classic foam roller, softer than a PVC pipe. For beginners to fascia work it can feel too intense at first, but for experienced rollers it's spot on.
Can I use the RAM indoor and outdoor?
Both. The material doesn't damage floors or grass and isn't sensitive to weather. For outdoor bootcamps, park training or athletic sessions on a synthetic running track it works the same as in a box setup. Store it dry and not permanently in sub-zero temperatures – that protects the rubber long term.
Is the RAM suitable for DEKA events?
Yes. The RAM is used at DEKA events by Spartan, which makes it the right training tool when you're preparing for DEKA Fit, DEKA Strong or DEKA Mile. Which weight category is required at which event is best checked directly on the DEKA race page.
Are small cracks or surface marks normal?
Yes. Visual imperfections like fine cracks, small dents or colour variations are part of the manufacturing process and simply normal for recycled material. They don't affect function, stability or lifespan. If anything, they show that this is actually recycled material.
Why buy the RAM from cross equip?
Because we're the official Swiss distributor of RAMfit. We know the variants, we tested the RAM in our own box before adding it to the range, and we offer direct service on the Swiss side. If you have questions about the right weight or need a replacement, you talk to someone who actually uses the tool.

Customer reviews

We tested the RAM in our own box before we put it in the range – over months, across every weight class. What convinced us: you don't have to think about it. Throw it, drop it, drag it, shoulder it, then roll on it. No sand loss, no seam that opens up at some point. That's exactly why we became the official Swiss distributor of RAMfit – we wanted a tool we don't have to replace every year and that still does its job after 200 drops. And honestly: the fact that you can use the RAM as a foam roller after the session is the part athletes in our box still get surprised by.
