Bottom Line

It's expensive, but the design is perfect for performing several different styles of sled workouts.

Pros

Center post will accommodate Olympic-sized weight plates to gain more weight for your workouts. Allows for use of a harness to pull the sled or dual vertical posts to push the sled. Heavier sled than some others, at 111 lbs. before you add any weight plates.

Cons

Rails may dig into the ground if you add too much weight to the sled.

Bottom Line

Heavy-duty speed sled that will stand up to rough treatment and multiple kinds of workouts.

Pros

Uses a high quality of steel in the frame so it will give you a high level of performance over time. Skid pads on the runners are replaceable once you notice wear on them. Gives you high, middle, and low sets of handles, so you can vary your workout. Also will work with a harness.

Cons

Pricey. Weights must be placed toward the back, affecting sled's balance.

Bottom Line

Great price point for a beginner training sled. Can add Olympic-sized weight plates for tougher workouts.

Pros

Extremely simple design, so it's easy to figure out for beginners to use without having to worry about assembling different parts. A little smaller than some other sleds, so it's easier to transport and store. Ships with a harness so you can start using it right away.

Cons

No option to use it as a push sled. Only weighs 37 lbs., so it needs weight plates for tougher workouts.

Bottom Line

Solidly built training sled that has multiple options for pushing or pulling it for different workouts.

Pros

Offers dual plate posts so you can add extra weight and balance it nicely. Has handles of varying heights for different types of workouts, as well as an attachment for a harness. You can take apart the frame when you need to transport it or to store it long term.

Cons

Can be difficult to assemble, which negates the benefits of the frame coming apart.

Bottom Line

Pricey, especially for such a simple design, but it will stand up to even the toughest workouts you can perform.

Pros

Ships with a harness so you can begin using it immediately. Large weight post in the center of the sled can handle up to 500 lbs. of Olympic-sized weight plates, while keeping the weight of the sled centered. Very sturdy construction of this sled means it'll last a long time.

Cons

Really expensive for such a simple speed sled design. Its design means it cannot be pushed, only pulled.

    A speed sled can be pushed or pulled, and as such, can be used in conjunction with a variety of workouts. It is usually constructed from steel and comes equipped with handles of varying heights. Speed sleds come in different sizes. Sleds can often be used with Olympic-sized weight plates, and some feature a large weight post that can handle up to 500 lbs. of weights. They may include a harness attachment. Sleds may include runners with skid pads that are easy to replace. Additionally, sleds typically feature a simple design, and you should have no trouble taking a sled's frame apart if necessary.
