Hands-on training with taped rings
These listings feature gymnastic rings that come with adhesive grip tape. This tape wraps around the ring surface to provide a softer feel and better friction. It is useful for athletes who deal with sweaty palms or those who find bare wood or plastic too slick during high-rep sets.
Using tape helps prevent blisters during transitions like muscle-ups. Most sets in this catalog include two rolls of tape, often in colors like yellow, black, or blue. You apply the tape yourself to customize the thickness and coverage area for your specific hand size.

Common questions about taped rings
How do I apply the grip tape to the rings? You wrap it tightly around the wood, overlapping the edges slightly to ensure full coverage. Does the tape leave a sticky residue? Most athletic tapes stay in place, but you may need to clean the rings if you remove old tape.
Can I use these rings without the tape? Yes, the tape is an optional accessory included in the box for added comfort. Are these rings suitable for outdoor use? While the straps are durable, wood rings should be kept dry to prevent warping or cracking over time.
