Ditto to what *the fish* said!

Less space being taken is always awesome! (This will work perfectly with my re-do of the Grunt house!)

Aha! Great for community gyms and you made them "non-cheaty" too - hooray!

Oh thank you! You solved the problem of wanting to put punching bags into community gyms and still have the reward be a reward! I love this.

I am a cheaty cheater and would've loved to have the trainer option available, but even without it this is fantastic! Thank you! .

That made me laugh. All I did was clear the pie menu functions--it would take like 30 seconds to add the training option back. Just tick off the boxes like they are in the pic, commit and save.

Thanks to everyone for leaving such nice comments, I appreciate them.

ETA:
Actually, it might not be that simple to add the training option back in. I forgot I also reduced the footprint so I'm not sure if that will affect the training option--maybe the trainer won't know where to enter and exit? So it might not work...or maybe it will. Experiment at your own risk!

Ooh, thank you for the tip! I will definitely try that when I get a chance.

Wonderful idea! I never understood why this thing had to have such a humongous footprint - and to me, having it hanging from the ceiling makes more sense. Space-saving + sense-making = win. .

Brilliant! This should look a lot more suitable for a working gym IMO than trying to use the reward one (plus the space-saving aspect means I'll be able to use more than one in small gyms).

Oooo....thank you for this! I'm going to replace all the reward punching bags in my gyms post-haste! Plus, I love that you made it in that Maxis blue color that matches all their other gym equipment!!

Are they enabled for community lots or did I get ahead of myself? I can't find it under hobbies>exercise or hobbies>all or misc>misc or misc>all, looking at items that cost around 2500 simoleans (same as treadmill). Maybe Sophie-David's rewards are required and not just recommended?
Or maybe I'm just missing it

Hi shastakiss, I didn't even think that because this was cloned from a career reward they wouldn't automatically be available on community lots. Later on tonight (if I get the chance) or tomorrow I'll re-up a new version that's enabled for community lots. I'm a home gym kind of player myself but I definitely want the option to use these on community lots. Thanks for letting me know.

P.S
Sophie-David's buyable rewards are a completely different upload and don't affect this punching bag at all.

ETA:
I updated the punching bag and the new file has been uploaded and is available to re-download. Thanks again, shastakiss, for letting me know.

Oh snap that was fast! I'm the one who jumped to conclusions, sorry. Even if it was just for residential lots, it would still be a very needed and useful bit of coolness. thankyouthankyouthankyou
