cross and much more is possible. The unique nature of the rings gives
all of the exercises a fun, athletic feel.

The Unique Value of Ring Training
Ring training is time tested and proven effective by thousands of gymnasts. For fitness, the Elite Rings are even better, because by adjusting the height, you have access to new exercises
not possible on traditional gymnastics rings. For example, you can now
experience pushups in a whole new light. The mobility of the rings
forces you to stabilize them constantly, thus increasing muscular
recruitment through your whole body. The mobility also allows for variations not possible on the floor or pushup stands.
The efficiency of your workouts will improve as you incorporate ring
exercises in place of their traditional counterparts. By integrating
more of your musculature, fewer reps are required to achieve the same results.
Safety is improved for several reasons. First, your joints are allowed to track naturally, because you can move and rotate the rings to wherever you find greatest comfort.
You can even adjust your hand placement dynamically during each rep,
ensuring safety and comfort from beginning to end. Next, your safety is
improved because you must always be under control while on the rings.
Flailing away with improper form is not even possible. Lastly, your stabilizers muscles engage automatically
and protect your joints. On dips, you have no choice but to use your
lats, otherwise the rings will fly away. On a dip stand, you might
never learn to use your lats properly. On rings, safety never
compromises performance.
History of the Elite Rings
The Elite Rings are a modern reincarnation of a classic training
tool that has been around for hundreds of years. There are
illustrations of ring exercises in training manuals dating back to the
1800’s. The Elite Rings use cutting edge design and materials to create
an advanced ring for the 21st century. We experimented with a variety
of designs and materials, including wood, metal and various plastics
before we came up with the Elite design. Not only is the new design
elegant and beautiful, but it maximizes the strength to weight ratio
and adds some advanced features not found on conventional rings.
Our Elite Rings are so tough that we back them up with a 2 year
warranty. If you ever need help getting the most out of your Elite
Rings we do our best to answer your questions and we have a friendly
community to offer advice and encouragement.
