Elite Sportz Gymnastic Rings - Exercise Ring Set for Total Body Strength Training & Pull Ups w/Secure Buckles & Straps - 2 Non Slip Olympic Rings, Indoor Workout Equipment for Kids & Adults

I purchased these rings about two weeks ago, here on Amazon from Elite Sportz Equipment. I paid full price and chose them above the cheaper option (these were the second cheapest when I shopped). The cheaper option had a lot of negative reviews, notes about smell and bad straps, etc. I chose the ESE rings because of the positive reviews, and so, wanted to add my voice of praise. They are awesome, and you should buy them. No need to pay more money unless you are a crazy professional who needs fancy wooden ones or something. My main motivation for purchasing these was my son, who just turned 5. He is a climber, and will climb everything from flagpoles to door trim and everything in between that will support human weight. I frequently catch him hanging upside down from the handholds above the doors in our minivan (they are apparently strong enough to support the weight of a 5 year old). While visiting a local tumbling/gymnastics/jump-rope establishment I noticed that they had two sets of similar rings hanging. I inquired into their purpose, and was told they are an excellent core-training tool, as well as helping the children to get used to the motion of flipping and having their feet go over their heads in a roll-like motion. I was immediately smitten, and knew this was what my boy needed. I had previously installed a climbing rope in his room. We have 9' ceilings and I used hardware specific for bearing overhead loads and supporting human weight, and hung a 3/4' rope with knots about every 6 inches. He scurries up and down this, and easily became bored. I installed the rings in the other corner of the room and they were an instant hit. I used eye bolts into my rafter (I have an open attic, making it easier to access the rafters and use a through-bolt). Having been a rigger in a past life, I highly recommend that you use Grade 8 hardware, or hardware specifically designed for overhead loads, and the lifting of human weight. Anything less is bound to eventually fail. I am always a believer in overbuilding and overprotecting my children, so I used hardware with a safe working load limit (WLL) that was four times my own weight (1000 lbs minimum). This certainly isn't required, but it gives me great peace of mind when I'm hanging upside down on the rings. I secured the included nylon straps to a shackle that was then secured to the eye bolt. This made the straps easily removable, so that I could move them to my gym for workout purposes (where I installed another set of eye bolts). The package was shipped to me promptly. The box was simple and easy to open. All of the parts were nicely packaged. There were two nylon straps with cam buckles, two rings, and a bonus jump rope, as well as instructional material, and information with links to instructional videos on the manufacturer's website, which I bothered to watch, though the included material was simple to read and more than sufficient. The rings were installed by simply threading the nylon strap through my shackle, back down though the ring, and finally around the cam (there is writing on the side showing the direction the strap should go through). There are Velcro straps stitched to the strap just above the cam, which makes for a convenient place to wrap up the excess strap. These straps are quite long, and unless you are hanging them from a 20' warehouse ceiling, should more than cover any normal situation. The cams are easily adjustable, simply by pressing on the release lever, and adjusting the height of the rings is quick and easy. After I had them installed, I tried all of the exercises detailed in the online videos. I am excited about the workout these provide, and was sore the next day after just a few of the exercises. They use many more muscles than a traditional push-up and pull-up seem to. Not being satisfied with a few pansy exercises, I then took to some flipping and hanging upside down, just to be sure the rings would hold up to all of the abuse I plan to dish out. I even stood in the rings and did leg exercises that way and put some major stress on the rings, straps, and my shackles and bolts, to ensure that nothing would fail or give way. (Basically looked like a grown man slipping on ice repeatedly, while suspended 4' in the air, which my kids found very amusing.) Needless to say, the rings and straps held up very well. If you are wondering, I'm 6' and 230 lbs. I've also had an additional 60 lbs of boys hanging from my neck, on my chest, while I am hanging from the rings, and they hold up perfectly. The straps have no stretch and have held everything I have thrown at them. I did not notice if the straps were labeled with a WLL limit, and I haven't checked the website or material for that. My kids have fallen in love with these rings, and gripe and complain every time I take them into my gym and forget to bring them back into their bedroom. They use them on a daily basis, and over the two weeks they have been up, I am already seeing improvement in their upper body and core strength. Not to mention, they are just fun. The boys do flips and like to walk up the wall and hang upside down, as well as put their legs through the rings and hang upside down that way. Probably the best $25 I have spent in a long time. We are already making plans to use these out over the river at our favorite swimming hole, and sling them from tree branches while camping this summer. If you are debating over whether to get these rings or not, just skip a meal one day with your family, and use the money you saved to buy them. Bingo. Next thing you know you will be doing Iron Crosses like Danell Leyva. Go ahead. Just click that button. You won't regret it.

I bought a second set of these because not only is the price right, the quality and functionality are on point. The straps are insanely long, almost annoyingly long, but that's a good thing. I have a pair hanging from the ceiling rafters in my garage and there's still plenty of slack. I can bring them all the way down and do pushups if I want to. There's a velcro strip to secure the extra slack anyways. The strap material is strong, very strong. The plastic (or resin, whatever) rings are also rigid, they have no flex or bend to them. They're textured for grip, but I still use some chalk because why not. I would highly recommend this pair for outdoors too, because wooden rings in the rain doesn't sound like a long-term relationship. I keep a pair at home and a pair at my work gym. Great equipment, can't really think of anything bad to say about them.

Firstly I would like to start by saying how fast they came and the customer service for elite is outstanding . I would give them 10 star rating just for them. Now onto the product ,My husband bought me a Trx tactical for my birthday , it cost like $250 for suspension straps but the quality is fantastic , only quirk I have is that the footstraps are too big for my feet and some exercises I cant preform. Also the straps are one and if you have a weaker core and back and your balance isnt great you find it difficult and one side higher than the other. So I bought the Elite gym straps as they are individual and you can do cross training with them. It took me a few days looking at different ones and reading reviews and finally I sent for the elite ones. Upon getting them really fast they are easy to set up , it took me longer getting the strap through the buckle which took some holding as the spring is very strong which is great, so from their on the adjusting buckles is a breeze. The straps are about a inch wide and the rings themselves are a nice size , I have small hands and dont find it hard to keep my hands clinched to them like some make your hands ache, also the texture is very nice and I dont find my hands slipping anytime throughout my workout. I spend about 2 hours between them and my Trx and I pull I push and swing and sway on them and they are very solid , no buckle slipping or any problems at all. I So for the price and quality of the product you have to buy them they are worth it for anyone who wants to get or keep fit and get sttrong

I've been using rings that are twice as expensive as these and they hold up quite well. Here's what's good and bad about them: Pros: 1) Cam Buckles seem very solid. This is the main point of failure on a set of rings and these bad boys have strong springs and seem to be well made. Time will tell, but just looking at them they inspire confidence. 2) Textured Rings. The texture of the rings is great: not slippery but not "chop up your hands" high friction. I usually tape my rings but I may go for a bit without taping these to see how I like the material. Cons: 1) Straps are not labelled with measurements. This makes adjusting the two rings to the same height a bit of guess and check. I could mark the rings with a marker or something but I wish the measurements were printed. 2) Feeding straps through cams is a pain in the butt. It literally took me 45 minutes. I ended up taping the straps, feeding the tape through, using tweezers to grab the tape, then pulling the straps through. Really hard to do! 3) Straps frayed at ends. Sadly, all that work to get the straps through the cams caused them to fray a bit at the end. 4) Ugly. The color of the rings is like dark clay gray. It's really ugly. Overall, these are great budget rings. They feel solid enough and whether you like them or not depends on whether you like the bumpy texture... and have the patience to feed the straps through the cams.

These rings have worked out well. I hang them off my pullup bar in order to do some ring-related workouts. They were easy to set up and easy to adjust when they were on the bar. The plastic grips have help up just fine. If they wear down too much this plastic seems like it will take to taping pretty well. In addition to the rings, it comes with a jump rope. I bought this for the rings but I wont turn down free stuff. The jump rope is of good quality and will have a spot in my home gym. Dimensions of the rings can be seen in the photos I have uploaded Included: -The two adjustable gymnastics rings -Jump Rope Pros: *Durable *Decent knurling for grip *Easy to adjust Cons: *None Additional Considerations: Make sure you have a secure spot to hang these rings off. Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Excellent addition to my workout. Rings are sturdy, well made, and comfortable. The ring straps are made of heavy duty nylon and long enough to reach from the pull-up bar on my garage ceiling to the floor. I actually trimmed the excess webbing but there are Velcro straps to hold the excess in place if you don't want to cut it. I weigh 190lbs and the metal adjustable clips have never slipped and adjusting them is easy. They also throw in a nice jump rope. Value for price definitely five stars. Look at the web site and on-line for the number of exercises you can do with your gym rings, worth adding to your workout routine.

I just ordered my second set of rings from this company they are gifts for a friend. I gave this a five star rating because of the price and the quality of equipment. The straps actually have retaining straps on the buckles so you can roll them up. The only issue is that the tips of the straps they are narrow so they don't have a lot of mass which means when you try to put them through the buckle is like taking a wet noodle and shove it through a small hole I took five minutes epoxy to the tips you have to make sure you get a thin layer and not a thick one and that solved the problem they go right in. If you're looking for a piece of equipment to help put muscle on these are your babies, good reference is fitness F A QS.com are GMB both have good YouTube videos for using rings at 71 years old I've been able to put muscle on using these but is not easy.

Background and use: I am an average, middle-age guy trying to keep in shape. At least five days a week I do body-weight training; I want a multi-use training device that doesn't take up much room (I love my toys and they will eventually use up all the space in my house...). So far I have used these rings for: Dips, L-Seats (abs), pull-ups, inverted rows, incline flys, one-arm inverted rows, inverted pull ups, and generally playing like I am 12 again. PROS: The rings are very (very!) sturdy with a light texture. Easy to grip but not painful on the hands The straps are typical webbing, cordura, type material, almost identical to the tie-downs I use for my motorcycles. And just as strong. I am 172 lbs; I can hang from one ring/strap without straining the material in the slightest. Multi-use device Takes up very little space when stored Once rigged up, easy to adjust height The straps are very long, unless you use them in a hangar, or gymnasium without bars, I doubt you will run out of strap The straps have a sewn-on small strap to wrap up the excess webbing CONS Feeding the strap through the locks is a pain No quick release/mount; if you intend to mount these and leave them up, this is not a big deal. I put them up and take them down as needed, this is not convenient in the least. I will be looking for some sort of modified S hook to put on these. If you use in an average size room (I use in my basement - 8' ceilings), there is a lot of strap left over to wrap up I have not played with the jump rope yet (It is hanging to allow the folds to work out), however a cursory glance shows it to be built like a typical speed rope - one piece plastic handles with bearings at the 'rope' (more a plastic/rubber cord) mount point to facilitate ease of spin. I hope they are adjustable, but otherwise I say a definite bonus. Once I've had an opportunity to use the rope a bit I will update this review. In short, I absolutely love these rings. I have no doubt they will last a lifetime and will get lots of use as I discover more ways to interact them. The fact that this product is priced so reasonably made this an easy purchase indeed (no remorse).

I bought these for my husband’s birthday after researching similar products quite throughly. I’m delighted with my choice! They are very reasonably priced: a good thickness; so sturdy; easy to adjust and my fears about worrying they might snap during use have disappeared. It’s very quick and easy to adjust the length, which we do often as our 5 and 3 year old sons love using them too. The plastic material is also surprisingly comfy on your hands. A great product!

As reported by other customers, once the strap locking system is sorted out, which only took a few minutes, the gym rings are great. We bought them as part of our two grandsons' ( five and seven year olds) birthday presents. Our older grandson asked if he could have the rings on their climbing frame. The frame has two metal hooks for attaching rope ladders etc so the straps fit through these very neatly. Our grandsons have gymnastic lessons so think that the rings are fantastic and are using them for building their strength, so our seven year old tells us!

It is because of sellers like these that I keep returning to Amazon and not the high street. The exercise rings arrived promptly and well packaged and are exactly as described and pictured. The instructions for setting up the rings are easy to read and understand. The rings themselves are well made and a great addition to my home gym, there are countless instructional videos on Youtube on how to use these and the seller themselves have a few on their website. The customer service was better than I was expecting, I received an additional order confirmation email direct from the seller as well as emails confirming delivery time, that delivery had taken place and to check my satisfaction with the product.

This is a basic but sturdy set of gym rings with a set of long straps that are OK enough. Each ring weighs around 400 g. Both rings and the straps weigh in at 1.4 kg. The rings are textured which to some degree offsets the reputed slippiness of plastics, but not to such a degree that the rings cannot rotate in your hands (which is a requirement for some exercises). I find the grip to be fine for my uses, but if you plan on progressing to extended gymnastics routines with minutes of continuous consecutive work in and above the rings I would consider going for wooden rings. I had major issues with threading the webbing through the cam buckle the first time I did it. With some adjustment of my technique, I am down to between five seconds (on a good day) and 25 seconds (on a bad day) of setup time per cam buckle. I solved my issues by: 1. Threading the webbing through the bottom of the cam buckle (as instructed), pulling a handful of it "backwards" and THEN threading the webbing through the appropriate opening while pressing on the part that says "press". This changes the "angle of attack". You are "attacking" the opening from a horizontal rather than a curved position. The end-result is precisely the same as in the official instructions. 2. PRESSING FIRMLY ON THE BUCKLE. This is not completely intuitive as it "feels" like you'll be squishing the webbing itself when you do this, but it is required for the opening for the webbing to pass to be wide enough. Once you get the hang of it the setup and the leveling is not a big deal. For a moment, when setting up the rings the first time, I was worried that I would find the process to be a big enough of a hassle that I would just leave the rings mounted in my doorway pullup bar, but this fear was unfounded. Switching from using the rings at home to using them outdoors in a calisthenics park is doable even if you are fairly lazy. As a comparison point I find it less annoying than say setting up an incline bench press with a moderate amount of weight. Anyone with experience of working with free weights is actually likely to be relieved when you realize that there are no plates to fetch and move around. If you begin your routine with non-ring exercises (pushups, bar pullups/chins, burpees or whatever) you can setup the rings between the rest periods of your initial exercises. Taking them down is trivial. The straps come with a velcro attachment that allows you to tie up excess webbing. Upon seeing it the first time I thought it was gimmicky but it actually works well in practice. I thought that I would initially use the rings for having a more convenient way of performing inverse rows in various locations, but I quickly took a liking to ring variations of classical isolation exercises such as biceps curls, triceps extension, chest flyes and reverse flyes. Movements which when performed strictly only require you to use a fraction of your body weight work really well. If you are new to rings or plan to use them in an accessory fashion I would recommend these, as they are very affordable and do the job well enough. The only official seller of these rings seems to be a lot more responsive than average. I ordered on the 28th of August, the rings were dispatched on Aug 31, and I had them in my hands in SWEDEN on Sep 6. So that's a few days for order processing and less than a week for the actual shipment to SWEDEN.

I'm impressed with the quality of these rings. They are very strong and I had no problem setting them up. They are great for doing workouts but they are very difficult at first. I would definitely recommend getting chalk as they are made from plastic and can be a bit slippery but they are textured which does help a lot.
