I bought this product August of 2017. I finally got a chance to hang it up January 2016. When I got up close to the large beam that appeared to be wood, I saw some small paint flaking and noticed there was metal below it. Turned out it was a metal ibeam not a large wooden one. It had been plastered over in such a way to resemble the rest of the walls. This was the only place I had to hang the item. I thought I was going to be out a hundred and forty bucks.

I called up Firstlaw and expected them to push back. The opposite happened. The representative on the other end was incredibly friendly and helpful. I was blown away. He had no problem with me sending the product back and they promptly refunded me. I hate not being able to hang a bag, but I was thrilled I was able to return the shock mount without any issues. Thank you Firstlaw!!!

well worth the price. Makes it very quite for the wife upstairs when I'm working the heavy bag. Also, fairly easy to mount and very sturdy.

I shopped around for mounting options as my wife and I just built our house and we really wanted to avoid causing any future structural damage. I first stumbled upon the pro mountings one and it peaked my interest and after doing some more research, I found this one (firstlaw fitness shock mount). I was a bit hesitant because it only had 1 review but it was $20+ cheaper (the other one was $10 more + $13 shipping). So I chose the firstlaw fitness shock mount and was really impressed when it arrived. As soon as you pick it up you can really feel how sturdy and how high quality it is.

My only advice for shoppers would be to actually measure how far apart your ceiling joists are. I didn't actually measure mine and it turned out that mine were 24". Completely my fault. Anyways I've ordered my extension and as soon I get it I'll quickly mount it and give my 100lb leather ringside heavy bag a go. I'll update for actual performance here in a few days.

I'm really surprised that I'm only the 2nd person to write a review.

Edit: I've had my bag up and mounted now for about a week and a half and I'm using it every morning. So far so good. I don't wake up my wife in the mornings while I'm working out in my garage and the vibrations don't seem to be passed on into the studs so far. Still happy with this product.

Great product and customer service. I had a question regarding installation and Firstlaw Fitness were quick to respond and help me out. The mount was easy to install and it really cuts down on the noise of the bag. I have an office above my garage, but you can hardly even notice when someone is working out. I have been using it for 2 months now and I have no complaints. My friend also bought one, as his bag was creating too much noise and vibration in his house. Both of us highly recommend it.
