Wow that platform looks just like the Xmark platform I recently got. The design, paint type color and steel is the same. I wonder if the same manufacturer just rebrands it. Anyway, it should be a solid platform and perform great with little to no vibration.

Cheers Ralph, it took a few hours to put up. It would have been easier with 2 people but I just about managed it. Appreciate the tips, I'll take my time learning the correct technique and not go all BruceLee just yet.

Thanks Sambruin. It does look like the Xmark, the last few days I looked at dozens of models. Amazon US say the 'Xmark's boxed weight is 58pounds and Amazon UK say the 'Reebok' is the same, so you are probably right about them being the same thing. ... The box it came in said it came from Poland and was made exclusively for 'escape-fitness'.

Looks great. When it comes to punching, the UK rocks!

Thanks Paraanday.... Ive read quite a few of your posts since I discovered this site last week , its cool to say hello:

Yeah, we like our boxing in the UK. Tonight Amir Khan takes on one of your boy's, should be a good fight, lots of trash talk.

haha , I woke up 6.am(just now) to research where I can find a decent speedball this Morning. I'm itching like crazy to try it out. I'm in London, it can't be tooo difficult so fingers crossed. ..... Looking ahead, I think I'll also need a pump and sandbag.

This week I finally decided to try and get in shape, we'll see, lol.
Ive got a 'bulgarian bag' arriving later, maybe I can use that as the sandbag.
