Ring Thing User Testimonials

★★★★★

Expensive, but there really is nothing else like it. The kids and I use it to allow us to perform advanced calisthenic and gymnastic moves that otherwise we would have absolutely no chance of doing - such as muscle ups, full front and back levers, planche, iron crosses...

I find it inspiring and confidence building.

★★★★★

I have been playing around with the Ring Thing since it came out 6+ years ago. As an elite athlete in a sport very different than gymnastics, this device quickly and safely allowed me to start involving basic and higher level gymnastics drills and skills into my training.

I have had one of these for almost a year now. It is completely a game changer. It allows for working on ring skills with perfect movement mechanics by taking 50% off your weight off. When you are working on gymnastics skills, each rep is a maximal effort. I certainly can't do 3 sets of 10 strict muscle-ups, but I can with the Ring Thing. And unlike bands, the amount of assist is consistent through the movement. Not to mention that it is extremely well made.

If you are hanging the heavier weight, we recommend tying a safety knot in the webbing from the buckle for some additional security.

Our recommendation to feel a Bar Muscle-Up movement pattern would be to put a sturdy PVC or dowel between the rings and use that as the Bar.

Yes, we don't recommend using more than a total of 400 lbs (body weight + added weight).
