Beast Gear Skipping Rope, Steel Speed Fitness Jump Ropes, Lightweight and Adjustable Workout Equipment for Jumping, MMA, HIIT Workout

I bought this skipping rope to learn how to skip properly and it’s been a brilliant choice. It’s super lightweight, well balanced and easy to adjust which made getting the right length for my height really simple. The rotation of the steel cable helps keep a steady rhythm without tangling and it genuinely makes skipping feel easier to get the hang of, even as a complete beginner like I was (or maybe still am haha). The overall build feels solid and professional but it’s not intimidating to use. It’s comfortable to grip and works perfectly for general fitness sessions or warm up workouts. I’ve made noticeable progress since using it. For anyone wanting to improve coordination or add quick cardio to their routine, this is an excellent and beginner friendly skipping rope that feels built to last and I would highly recommend this.

Not too impressed with this skipping rope. The screw type silver adjustments fittings come loose and have to be tightened occasionally, and you must cut the wire off to make sure that there is no extra wire hanging loose from each end. There are much simpler adjustable methods out there, this skipping rope overcomplicates things. On a positive note, the wire is of a good quality and weight and does allow for fast skipping. The skipping rope comes with a pouch and extra parts, which is a good touch. For the price I paid, I can live with the negatives, but I will be purchasing a different rope next time around. Update 25/08/17: Highly recommended Beast Gear as a seller, great customer service experience. I bought the product from the company, but the product did not suit my needs (my own fault). Ben from Beast Gear reached out to me and offered a full refund. I declined the refund, as it was my own choice to by the product knowing it may not suit my needs, but I appreciated that Beast Gear took the time to offer a great customer service experience. Thanks guys.

This is a beautiful, made my life easily and i am happy to recommend anyone.

So, I’m very new to skipping and so didn’t really know what was the best to get on Amazon. With further looking around I found this was probably the best bet. So when it arrived I opened and got skipping. From first glance the “rope” part is very thin. This allows it to travel fast and I’ve managed to get it to go quite quick. However it is quite light but is made from strong metal cable. The handles are made from plastic but feel very strong and sturdy as well. Two main, things which brought the review down. Firstly, the protective rubber. I knew I was going to be using it outside on a concrete material, so I put it on. Within 2 days of use the rubber had torn off. I wasn’t shocked at this, as I would rather have that break than the cable. The second one is the Metal screws/spares. This does come with two spares for the metal screws and rubber ends, however on the first day I tightened the screws as stated in the user manual but after using it for about 30mins it came off and I lost one of the metal screws. What would be useful is if it came with a few more spares. Overall this is a really well built skipping rope and I definitely recommend to anyone, even if you’re a beginner like myself.

Having been using the equivalent of a child’s skipping rope for a while now, I looked all over for a speed rope until eventually I found this one. It seems that you can really pay A LOT for a good rope to begin learning double-unders, and do you really want to when you’re a.) doing it all at home as an amateur, and b.) quite possibly lacking the talent to perform a double-under in the first place? The answer is “no”. So, I was super pleased to find the Beast Rope, along with amazing reviews for it. Within a week of learning to do singles with a new product, I have officially got my first double (just the one)! SO PLEASED, and perhaps slightly amazed too. I can’t rate this rope highly enough for its quality, but also for the ease by which you can adjust it to the PERFECT length. It’s a great rope, and unless I become CrossFit Queen of the Known Universe any time soon (I won’t) I can’t see any reason why I should ever buy a different one! Even then, why change something that clearly works a treat? Great rope. Buy it. 😁 UPDATE: More double-unders have followed :D I also want to add a few words about other reviews on here: all the 'terrible' and 'waste of money' reviews in particular. Firstly, this rope is so inexpensive that if you do find it's not for you, you haven't spent very much to find that out. Secondly, for all those people complaining that the excess rope is 'annoying', well cut it off! Find the right length, leave literally 4 or 5 inches in case you have made a mistake, secure the screw TIGHT so that its doesn't slip, and away you go. This is what I've done. It's perfect. I'm a beginner but this is hardly rocket science. Thirdly, to those who think this rope is dangerous because they're tripping over it (this really made me laugh): it's you - not the rope. If you're tripping, it means your skipping needs practice. Fourthly, if you use it outside, find that it handles differently because it has the recommended (and supplied) protector on it, take off said protector, and then complain that the steel wire is starting to show because you have, er, taken off the protector: it's you - not the rope. If you can't use it with the protector on, go back inside and use it there instead. Happy skipping :D

Terrible Product and has really damaged my views of this company as I have their wrist straps for weights which are great. The rope is too light, constantly gets caught & You simply cannot get into a good rhythm with it. I would consider myself a beginner, but have used several different rope types at both the gym and outside at circuits class and never have an issue with my form, or getting into a good rhythm with the ropes provided in class. Unless you have industrial grade bolt cutters, good luck in trying to shorten the cable to a suitable length. I couldn’t get through it so had to skip with the excess cable hanging from either end of the handle which just get in the way, not to mention making you look like a complete plonker! Its stiff, cheap, fiddly and the bearing mechanism isn’t smooth. It’s a great example of how skipping for fitness shouldn't be. I’m so disappointed as I was really looking forward to starting a skipping routine and this has ruined everything about it. I used it for less than 10 minutes. I now feel i’ve wasted my money and may not be able to return for a refund as have used it for the briefest of moments. Don’t waste your money!!!!

As someone that works with athletes in the fitness industry, I was looking to purchase a new skipping rope for my speed circuit sessions... I own two speed ropes for my own leisure at home which I attempted to use with my players, however I was advised by a friend to look at this product which comes with a fully Adjustable Cable. The adjustable cable is a great component as the rope can be tailored to all players different heights and sizes making the rope the most efficient comfortable rope i have purchased. Along with this amazing component, from a performance perspective, the rope is very light and comes with an impressive ball bearing mechanism which is Ideal for double Unders. I was fortunate enough to get a discount off this product, however this has not changed my opinion on the greatness of this product and I will now be advising my team to purchase more of these ropes in bulk, thus making this product one of our most valued speed products. Although my review is based mainly from a coaches perspective, I would like to mention that I would recommend this rope to anyone from a beginners level to an advanced level as the rope is easy to use and gets great results, thus making skipping a fun rewarding activity. I hope my review helps anyone who may be unfamiliar with skipping ropes get a better insight into what I believe to be the best rope on the market.

The item is lighter than I expected (as I am more used to the solid plastic ropes that tend to be a bit heavier) and I found it a little hard to make the change over to this speed rope, but this is just down to personal preference and my experience with heavier ropes. However, as speed ropes go, this is a very good product - I have dabbled with a few speed ropes in the gym before. This speed rope is definitely better than the others I have tried in terms of how it feels to use. I had an issue with my rope though, the threads on the screws used to lengthen and shorten the rope failed after a few uses. Update: I have since heard from the seller who has issued me a refund and confirmed the issue is down to a rare fault - I agree, sooner or later, when making a high volume of items, there will be the odd one with a fault. That aside, I can't fault the customer service at all. In fact, Ben at Beast Gear has gone way over and above what I would even consider excellent customer service, it's obvious this company definitely cares about their customers and have easily provided the best post sale service I have received from any company to date. I would definitely buy from this company again and have done in fact. Though they provided me with a full refund I have purchased the Beast Rope Pro!
