Get it under control Gymnastic Rings

Training with Gym Rings

Training with Rings is very effective and challenging. A basic exercise such as push-ups, when performed with Rings, is much more difficult. This is because the range of motion is greater and the rings can move in all directions. This requires more strength and muscle groups to work together to keep the rings under control. Training with Rings also has even more advantages. For example, training with rings is less stressful for the joints. This is because the body is not in a fixed position. This allows the shoulder, elbow and wrist to move freely. Furthermore, it is easy to lighten or increase the resistance of a ring exercise, by changing the angle of training. The more horizontal the position of the body is, the more difficult an exercise becomes. Finally, Rings are compact and portable, so that they can be taken anywhere.

Wooden Gym Rings

The material type wood is the most used material for Gym Rings. In addition to this being aesthetically pleasing, this also brings many other benefits. That way the grip of a wooden ring is enormous. This grip is retained even when you sweat, because the wood absorbs moisture. Wooden rings are therefore very good in the hand and feel like an extension of the hand. This gives security and reliability to the athlete. Wooden Rings are very suitable for when you want to use them intensively and want to achieve serious progression in your ring exercises. A disadvantage of Wooden Rings is that you can not leave them hanging outside permanently because a lot of sun and rain can damage the wood. All Rings from our range are made of premium birch wood and suitable for professional use.

ABS Gym Rings

ABS Gym Rings are a good alternative to wooden gym rings. The ABS Rings are cheaper and also resistant to different weather influences. This can be very useful if you want the Rings to hang outside permanently. A disadvantage of ABS Gym Rings is that they have a less good grip compared to wooden rings. To improve the grip on the ABS Rings, the StreetGains® and Lifemaxx® ABS Rings feature a non-slip profile. In addition, you can use magnesium to improve the grip even further.

A diameter of 28 or 32 millimeters

We offer both rings for fitness and for gymnastics. The difference between these two types is the thickness of the ring. Gymnastic rings have a diameter of 28 millimeters and are specially made according to the requirements of the FIG (Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique). It is easier to use a so-called 'false grip' on these rings. Fitnesst rings have a diameter of 32 millimeters. These thicker rings are used for fitness training. With these rings you develop more grip strength than with gymnastic rings. These rings also feel more comfortable for an athlete with big hands.
