FAQ
How do I choose the right weight slam ball?
Most beginners start around 10–20 lb, intermediates 20–40 lb, and advanced users 30–50+ lb, with 60–70 lb often used for carries or loaded core work. REP offers slam balls from 5–70 lb so you can progress in small, manageable jumps.
What’s the difference between a slam ball and a medicine ball or wall ball?
Slam balls have a sand-filled rubber shell with little to no bounce for repeated ground slams, while medicine/wall balls are typically better for throws or partner work. For a quick comparison, see our overview of the different types of fitness balls.
Will a slam ball damage my floor?
The dead-bounce design helps absorb impact, but heavy slams still generate force—use rubber gym flooring or durable outdoor surfaces to protect your space and the ball.
Are slam balls good for beginners or home gyms?
Yes—slam balls are compact, versatile, and easy to learn as long as you pick a manageable weight and focus on form. REP® slam balls are built for high-impact training and backed by REP’s 1-year home/6-month commercial warranty.
What exercises can I do with a slam ball?
