It's back in stock. I just snagged mine.

[@The_Prenna]

I was just coming here to say the same thing. Can't wait for it to arrive.

[@PatrickCatrick]

Mine arrived. Shipped to Canada in 4 days.

[@petermozuraitis5219]

me too ! paid the extra $3 on shipping and got it the next day

[@cornpuppie]

Great review! I've had this on my wishlist for a while now. I already have a Bulgarian bag.... but the fact that the hydrocore is so portable, more unstable and you can change the weight, takes things to a whole new level.

[@AndrewDonoho]

As a 59 y.o. male, I want to go to the Hydrocore seminar because it looks like an excellent tool for maintaining mature flexibility and strength. And because Mark seems to have his head screwed on right with respect to the value of dynamic movement versus total strength.

[@hydrocore1486]

👏

[@crayzmarc]

Just realise this is a Mark Wildman video with music. Don't think I've seen one like this before. It looks like you're dancing. Would love to see more.

Bought one 👌👌 Looking forward to working it for long term health

[@tsoliot5913]

@@magicricky9726 1 pint of water is 1 pound. 2 pints = 1 quart (one quarter gallon). 1 quart is 2 pounds. 4 quarts is 1 gallon. 1 gallon of water is 8 pounds and 8 pints. It makes more sense than many metric lovers thinks :)

[@JBShort2]

Just got mine, the valve is defective (it leakes), even when working the design of the valve could be better. When blowing up you need to quickly close it or the air rushes out. I assume ONNIT will fix this in future versions. You may want to wait until then. Thanks Mark Wildman for the fantastic content!

[@PeterBrown-sn2ds]

I watched a video you keep tue valve closed when blowing it up but turns the centre part of the valve you push to open (don’t push it) Turn it 1/4 to the left then you can blow the hydrocore up and then the air is full you stop and it seals instantly

[@mesutozil9480]

That's awesome. I remember seeing it on a suples wrestling channel, but this is definitely more versatile.

I want to go to the Hydrocore seminar to learn proper technique and to add to my understanding of movement so I can share it with others. Every movement we do has rotation in it and hydrocore is all about rotation!

[@hydrocore1486]

💯👏

[@murataht]

Workout with the music almost felt like a dance. nice one!

[@simonharris2307]

It looks like a nice piece of kit! I’d like to get one once the supply is better. In the meantime, as there are tutorials to make your own Bulgarian Bag or the possibility to buy one or several readily and cheaply, I think I’ll take that route. It would be interesting Mark, if you could make a comparison video about the two, the challenges and benefits of training with water vs sand.

[@MarkWildman]

ill have to lay hands on some bulgarian bags. might take a min to get some

[@katieelrod8064]

Love watching your channel. Always learn so much.

[@timfleming8880]

Would love to have the opportunity to attend the seminar! I just ordered my Hydrocore last week from the Onnit Semi-Annual Sale and I am looking forward to adding it to my routine! It would be awesome to be able to have the creator show me how to implement/use appropriately. Thanks for the opportunity!

[@hydrocore1486]

[@Formerdead29]

I want to go to the seminar to break up the quarantine monotony. I know that the seminar is going to be packed with information that could help me from getting injured and make a solid plan going forward.

[@hydrocore1486]

[@mister_bleeps]

Went back to this one as my hydrocore just arrived. You make that mill motion look so easy. I’d love a video on that please!

[@DerickWells]

I think this piece of equipment looks like it allows for a unique training regimen unlike anything possible with more conventional equipment. And I really like the portability!

[@MarkWildman]

💪

[@zachvalenti]

Hey Mark, thank you for the consistently great content! Throwing my hat into this giveaway ring: I’d love to take Maurizio’s seminar because (1) exercise has been the number one thing keeping me sane in quarantine and (2) I suspect the HydroCore is my ideal fitness apparatus as a flexible, portable, flow device.

[@tiko325]

Awesome content, as usual! I would love to attend the seminar just to be able to learn how to properly do the movements so as to not injure myself and do more better.

[@rayrock23]

I travel a lot and Hotel Gyms suck. I could bring this and my crossrope and get a good functional workout while traveling as well as home. I also talked to someone at HydroCore on Facebook and they wanted me to go to the seminar.

[@dozierlester4868]

Great video. Music and Exercises were entertaining to watch. You make the difficult look easy, skills.

[@curtlizzi3167]

If you travel a lot I guess this makes sense. You can make your own Bulgarian bag for a tenth of the price. I guess the water fill does provide weight flexibility. Not sure I’m sold on this.

[@MarkWildman]

You don’t have to be. Feel free to go look for a bag of sand every time you land in a foreign country or even everywhere you go in your home country. Then take it back to your hotel. Then dispose of it properly after your stay.

[@curtlizzi3167]

As I said, if you travel a lot it makes sense. I agree with your comments but I don’t travel.

[@durtyred86]

They're back!! Had to snag a few.. I'd like to be as smooth as you @ 6:50..... but i have a feeling I'm going to look like I'm being attacked by a bag of water. 😅

[@cynthiaburja3526]

I would love to attend a seminar because I want to learn as much as I can about the HydroCore Bag. I travel a lot for work and it is going to be my go-to piece of equipment along with a yoga mat.

[@cucciafr68]

Just ordered mine. Excited to add this to my program. Get back into judo shape before I get back on the mats.

[@MarkWildman]

I’d kill for a judo class after months of quarantine

[@cucciafr68]

@@MarkWildman I still don't know what our curriculum will look like when we get back. The gym's owner wants to have assigned partners, to minimize contact, so randori won't be as much fun. Better than nothing I guess. I'm going to come up with a bunch of solo drills as well.

[@cucciafr68]

@@MarkWildman I was lucky to be able to do a few sessions of uchi komis with the other judo instructor over the quarantine. It was pretty light though, since this was the first time he was on the mats since Jan 2019 (recovering from cancer and bone marrow transplant). Though it was minor, my gf commented how happy I looked when I would come back from our sessions. Other than the physical toll it takes from people not being to workout like they used to it definitely will have a mental effect. Judo and bjj was my therapy and social functions.

[@ABCD-yr9mj]

*Mark Wildman* Love it !!

[@rokstar3]

I have been following your kettlebell techniques since covid19 started and I was able to get a hydrocore bag. Trying to figure out how to properly swing this thing and I keep messing up my flow. This class may help me significantly improve.

[@batnav10]

Love my hydrocore bag and would love to go to the workshop. You might want to mention the earlier production model has a problem in how the handles were constructed in that the rope at the end of the grip may come apart. The Hydrocore KZbin page has a video addressing a fix called handles upgrade.

Love your channel, wot do you think about ‘Bear Walking’ etc within your Kettlebells training

[@MarkWildman]

Love it. Quadruped walking is a basic human action

[@rohgren]

Adding on to an earlier question on your kettlebell programming videos, you mentioned the four items of equipment you consider essential in a personal gym. What would a weekly GPP program using these four items look like? Would/could you include something like erg rowing in an optimal program? For context - 66 years old, no major health/joint problems, long time weight trainer both Olympic and power, no room in my home for racks etc. and considering whether it’s worth it to return to my gym if it ever reopens here in Virginia.

[@hangonsnoop]

If folks aren't familiar with Bulgarian bags, they may want to look them up since they look very similar to the Hydrocore.

[@hydrocore1486]

[@DasWaldCafe]

Have you had the chance to compare this to a slosh pipe like a BOSU surge? Obviously the travel aspect the Hydrocore is superior but I was wondering about the other aspects of this vs a Slosh pipe or sandbag.

[@bjjboston.teamforsa]

What about a Bulgarian bag

[@RubyMVmistress]

So I do have a question, I was looking at Bulgarian bag, and they said it will strengthen you grip, does this do the same thing? I like the idea because I think fifteen or twenty pounds is enough for me.

[@MarkWildman]

It does

What is the name of that awesome tune at the end of your video? I can't find it on the link you provided.

[@davidroseborough]

What about sandbags those can be portable. Also, how do you deal with mold with these?

[@MarkWildman]

Mouthwash or whiskey in the bag

[@MarkWildman]

And sandbag is good, you just have to find sand at the hardware store wherever you go. Costs 6$ or so each time. But that’s an absorbent cost

[@paulgreengod]

It’s what Onnit does, they take and adapt small trends and give them a larger platform/ place them in front of customers. It’s good business. I have Suples bags that I love to bits and are rugged as hell but I can’t fold them up and fit them in a pocket. The world needs fancy dish wear but sometimes a paper plate makes more sense.

[@ForteanEnquirer]

What do you think of PAHLAVANDLE for portable club bell practice ?

[@MarkWildman]

I hadn’t heard of it but I looked it up. Seems interesting. I’ll have to try it. How heavy could it get?

[@ForteanEnquirer]

They are light, maxing out about 3kg, tho you can link handles together to make something like a short mace, but for recovery or learning new technique perhaps ? I have some that I am using just to get my head around clubs in the first instance.

[@ForteanEnquirer]

That said they also do an adjustable club XL version, that goes 2-20kg (it is closer to mudgar shape) I’ve not tried one of those, just have the handles

Dear Mark, Sand bag can do all hydro core workouts? Since it’s not available in India whether sand box can be alternative?
