Essential Rings 2.0 - Gymnastic Fitness Great for Crossfit Exercise Training Gym Pull Ups

There's been a lot said, both good and bad about these rings.I'd like to say that they are neither the worst thing out there, nor the best.The evaluation of these rings should be based on how you intend to uses them. Specifically, if you are just beginning ring pull-ups, rings dips, false-gripping and trying to get your first muscle-up, then these should work fine. There's no appreciable advantage for getting better quality rings until those activities are mastered. That being said, these rings are not perfect! They don't run or spin like regular rings and you can use the tension on a side of the ring that doesn't spin to help pull yourself up. If you are attempting anything more than basic body weight exercises or a Crossfit-esque incorporation of those exercises, then go ahead and get real rings. Don't use these in a professional gymnasium, do use these in the park or the garage to acquire the basic movement skills, because you can't buy or make these for less than $40. (Include your gas to go to the hardware store, the electricity for the oven to heat the pvc pipe and also pay yourself minimum wage for every second planing, designing, driving, shopping and making the things!) Essential Rings 2.0 win.

These rings are amazing. After using them for about a month, my arms are much stronger and I have a much better sense of balance. My friend recommended I get a set of rings and these were perfect. They hang on my pull up bar on my door and are 100% functional. To make the most of it, however, you should have much more free space to play around. I suggest on the first day to try different positions on it and see how that affects your body. I came up with nice alternatives myself. Very sturdy material but I recommend adding some tape to keep sweaty palms from losing grip on the ring itself.

These rings are extremely basic. They do the job and work with some annoyances. The cheap nylon straps flop around (sometimes in your face) when you work out. These rings cost me $40 and I see how I could make them/they are made for $5. (The straps used are lashing straps sold at harbor freight for about $4) The straps say they are not to be used by people to support their weight. Makes them seem gimmicky. The fact they are well overpriced is the largest detracting element, with the non-human weight bearing straps that get in the way being the second. If they sell for $10-$15 then they would be worth it.

I ordered a set of these last year and enjoyed them, but i gave them to a friend, so a month or so ago I ordered another set. I was a bit surprised when I opened the box because they weren't the same thing. The first set I ordered were like the ones in the picture but the second set I ordered came with solid rings and pink cargo straps. Not a big deal, as they do the same thing.

i have been on some other gymnastics sites like the more officials ones and let me tell you, getting these rings here is a bargain!!! they do what they say they do and really what more can you ask for? material feels pretty good actually for a good grip. being in the false grip really doesnt bother me all that much compared to using wooden rings. this is a good product

These rings are simple, and after you figure out the one working configuration of the ratchet strap, easy to use and adjust. A simpler set of ratchet straps could likely be picked up at a local hardware store for around $5, but overall, not a bad product. I use them 2-3 times a week, and have already probably paid them off just by not having to pay gym fees for a couple months.

WE BOUGHT THE PRODUCT FOR UPPER BODY STRENGTH EXERCISES FOR OUR OLDEST CHILD WHO PLAYS BASEBALL. LOVE THIS PRODUCT WE HAVE IT SET UP IN OUR BASEMENT AND IT HOLDS EVEN MY HUSBAND'S WEIGHT OF 170LB...THE KIDS LOVE IT...GREAT FOR WINTER TOO....WE SET UP A BOUNCY HOUSE BELOW IT AND THE KIDS DO FLIPS, AND JUMPS WITH IT...NOW THE LITTLE TODDLERS WANT TO USE IT TO....SELLER WAS GREAT, QUICK, AND NO ISSUES, ALL PARTS CAME WITH IT, AND A SINCH TO SET UP....WORTH EVERY PENNY, GREAT INDOOR PRODUCT, PROFESSIONAL GRADE AT A REASONABLE PRICE!

It works great. My only recommendation is to take a sharpie before you set them up and draw lines every 6" or so that are the same on both straps. So when you go to adjust the straps its easy to make them level. There is some writing on the straps but its not the same for both sets of rings so if you try and use that you'll be off.
