ROPE TYPES:
CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
Speed Ropes
Lightning fast. Zero drag. All fire.
For: Athletes, fighters, and anyone chasing insane cardio and fast feet.
Built for one thing: speed. Ultra-light cables and precision bearings make every jump razor-sharp. Perfect for high-rep workouts like double unders, sprints, and competitive circuits.
Best for:
HIIT
CrossFit WODs
Cardio bursts
Speed skill work
⚡ Note: Not for freestyle or strength — these ropes fly, but they won’t add resistance or control.
WEIGHTED ROPES
Power meets performance.
For: Strength seekers, power builders, and anyone who loves the burn.
Weighted ropes turn every swing into resistance training — sculpting shoulders, arms, and core while pushing your endurance to the limit. It’s cardio and strength training rolled into one.
Best for:
Resistance workouts
Upper body toning
Power cardio
Building explosive strength
💡 Beginner tip: Start with ¼ lb or ½ lb before jumping into the 1 lb+ beasts.
FREESTYLE ROPES
Flow state in motion.
For: Showstoppers, flow chasers, and precision masters.
These ropes are built for rhythm, control, and creativity. Perfect for tricks like crosses, side swings, mic releases, and dance-style routines. Light, responsive, and made for expression.
Best for:
Dance-inspired workouts
Flow combos
Freestyle performances
Creative challenges
🎭 Note: Skip the asphalt — these ropes are delicate artists.
EVERYDAY / BEGINNER ROPES
Zero fuss. All focus.
For: Anyone starting out or keeping it simple.
These ropes are your steady partner — durable, easy to use, and perfect for building rhythm, timing, and consistency. Great for warm-ups, casual cardio, or just staying sharp. A must-have in every jumper’s arsenal.
Best for:
Daily cardio
Building rhythm & timing
Warm-ups before strength days
Beginners finding their flow
✅ Good news: Unlike freestyle ropes, these can handle a variety of surfaces — just keep them off rough concrete for longer life.
HOW TO SIZE YOUR ROPE
A rope that’s too short trips you up. Too long? Slows you down.
Here’s a simple guide:
Your Height | Rope Length |
---|---|
4'10" – 5'3" | 8 ft (2.4 m) |
5'4" – 5'10" | 9 ft (2.7 m) |
5'11"+ | 10 ft (3.0 m) |
Quick Test: Step on the middle of the rope. The handles should reach just below your armpits.
If you're buying an adjustable rope (highly recommended for beginners), start longer and trim it as your skill improves.
Pick your rope. Own your results.
