Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world’s heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950’s and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family’s remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men’s and women’s apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future. What’s in the Box? One leather medicine ball Manufacturer Warranty 1 year Average Rating of 4.50 out of 8 reviews
Rating :      Good quality, good price - AE Review, Mar 31, 2008
This ball is ideal weight, well constructed and well priced. I use it a few times a week in conjunction with a Danskin DA-2637R 10 lb. Weighted Toning Ball. The Everlast is hard and solid while the Danskin is soft and pliable. The Everlast is great for explosive two handed throws from your back while the lighter ball is ideal for one handed throws and is good for your grip. The combination of the two have been great for a dynamic chest work-out. Other than free weights, I also use the Harbinger 373500 Padded Handle Push Up Bars.
Rating :      Great for dogs! - David M. Montgomery, Mar 30, 2008
I professionally train dogs for dog sledding and I'm always looking for new ways to workout my dogs that won't bore them. I've tried several different brands of medicine balls to work on core strength and endurance (very important for a sled dog!) and the Everlast is without a doubt the front of the pack. Unlike other medicine balls, the taste of the Everlast's leather doesn't seem to bother the dogs. The extra padding on the ball also prevents the nasty dental injuries that were so problematic with the thinner balls. My dogs are now in the best shape of their lives and we all love this medicine ball! A word of warning: the 14-15 lb. ball is great for dogs in an existing training program, but if you are just starting out it is safer to start with a 7-8 lb. ball.

The everlast medicine ball was a great buy. Shipping was cheap for the 15lb ball and it is a great addition to my exercise program.

I was first introduced to the medicine ball by my personal trainer. I purchased two medicine balls (8lb + 14lb) to continue the routines at home. I'm very happy with them.
