This section will help you find the best gymnastic rings in the UK. Our eight recommendations are versatile and have been used by various customers worldwide. The carabiner and hook system allows for 3″ adjustments; this allows for exacted lengths, preventing the need for minute adjustments. The absence of the strap clip can also prevent the arm abrasions and cuts characteristic of an intense ring training session.

Designed as a 21st century take on a classic strength training staple, these rings can endure everything from CrossFit® ring exercises to the daily pull-ups, ring dips, front levers, and muscle-ups of an Olympic gymnast’s regimen.Before setting up gymnastic rings, the most crucial thing to consider is finding a solid anchor point. This point should be a stable structure that can conveniently withstand your body weight and can also support the rings. Even for larger athletes performing muscle-ups at a high level, the Hanger is strong enough to support a max capacity of approx. 500 LBS, with a set of rubber gaskets included on both ends for added safety/protection.

Using gymnastics rings builds functional strength. You only have to look at the gymnasts who use rings in the Olympics to see the kinds of body and muscle mass they have. Rings not only build muscle and strength they also incorporate a huge amount of mobility and core strength, protecting the body against injury. Rings can be used for all kinds of pull and push movements including pull ups, dips and muscle ups. You can even use them to train your legs by placing one foot inside a low ring and using it to perform pistol squats! Wooden rings are durable, smooth, and long-lasting. In addition, they offer a solid grip and help prevent splinters. Just be sure (yes I’m going to mention this one last time) that whatever you decide to hang your rings from is able to hold you. But rings aren’t just for gymnasts and you shouldn’t be intimidated by the fancy and advanced movements performed in professional competitions. Straps help to suspend the gymnastic rings and help fix the structure to your chosen anchor point. A majority of straps are made from solid nylon webbing.

Most people hang the rings up when they want to work out and take them down when they’re done. You can leave the rings up permanently if you’re hanging them from a structure in your yard or driveway, though. It’s really up to you. Unlike plastic and wooden rings, metal ones are not very common. However, they are more durable than their counterparts.
