Rings One is the Perfect Introduction to Gymnastic Ring Training
If you are like most people who will visit this page, your first exposure to gymnastic rings was watching the Olympics and admiring the strength and power of elite gymnasts.
Let’s get real.
There is no chance of you jumping up on the rings and breaking an iron cross. Rings are hard. It’s hard.
Which is why you are here.
Since we first released Rings One back in 2010, rings have gained a lot of popularity for general fitness, and now you can see them hanging in a lot of commercial gyms. Trying to use them without expert guidance can be frustrating.
Rings One was created by our head coach, Ryan Hurst, to translate his gymnastics background into a program you can use for general fitness without having to take up gymnastic sport.
Don’t Let Common Misconceptions About Rings Hold You Back
If you are already familiar with the benefits of ring training, there might be a few things holding you back from diving in and getting stronger than you have ever been.
- You think rings are dangerous – Poppycock!* Read here as our resident physical therapist dispels this wive’s tale.
- You think rings are expensive – You can find a cheap pair of rings online, but compared to a weight set or a gym membership, even our favorite premium rings are a bargain.
- You think you don’t have enough room for rings – Get creative. Here’s an article we wrote with tons of ideas for hanging your rings.
- You think rings are just for gymnasts – Though Ryan was a competitive gymnast all through school, R1 was designed specifically for trainees with ZERO prior gymnastic or rings experience.
Nothing Builds Strength Like Gymnastic Rings
When you learn to use them properly and build your skills with the right foundation, you will find that gymnastic rings offer some benefits you just can’t get elsewhere. Here is what rings have to offer.
Versatility and Challenge in Every Direction
The flexibility of the rings allows for pulling below the rings and pushing and balance above the rings. Rings One will show you exercises that build strength and mobility.
Instability for Muscular Stimulation
Since rings are not fixed in space, they will force your muscles to fight harder for control, and that will result in greater strength gains. The details of execution that lead to greater mastery of each movement and position will be shown.
Badass Credibility with Impressive Skills
It makes you look if you nail a solid muscle-up or display stability in an L-sit. And. It feels like a strong person. You will be able to keep progressing towards clean, strict muscle ups and the R1 flow routine with proven progressions and an adaptable rep scheme.
You won’t have to struggle with a program that was either designed for child gymnasts or requires strict adherence to a perfect schedule.
R1 makes ring training accessible to everyone.
We are able to translate the benefits of gymnastic ring work to non-gymnasts because our coaches have worked with thousands of recreational and pro athletes.
Don’t Get Stuck – Programming Designed for Continual Progress without Stalling
You will need different strategies as your strength and skills develop, unlike some programs that give you a single workout to repeat forever. Rings One includes four program phases, each building on the previous one, to keep you on track.
1. Strength Development
Strength is the foundation of increasing your movement capabilities, so R1 begins by building your strength in the basic movements.
2. Skill Development
As you build strength, Phase 2 introduces more skill focus and complex movements that will help you develop balance and agility.
3. Flow Acquisition
We begin building combinations that offer even greater challenge and stimulation once you have developed the basic level of body control to execute each skill.
4. Flow “Mastery”
After several weeks of strength and skill practice, you will work to smooth out the transitions and cut down the rest time for more efficient applied movements.
Great Programming Gets Great Results
Some of our clients have achieved with Rings One.
I have had a drastic change to my body since I bought Rings 1 and 2. I wanted to thank you for your program that has allowed me to lose 7 lbs of fat.
Rings One has changed the way I train. You have taught me how to train to gain strength and how to move my body in a way that flows from one movement to another. I am learning some fantastic skills at the same time. The rings were difficult to use. I could easily do 100 press ups and 20 chin ups, but on the rings I could only do less than half of that and I loved it. They are not as hard now.
My muscles are stronger than ever. My core strength has never been better. I used to be a Royal Marine, so I was always fit, but the rings are pushing my muscles and skills more than any Marine circuit!
The manual gave me a lot of information about how the body works and how it needs to recover.
The ring training is so much fun. I enjoy exercising a lot in my life.
R1 helped me get the ring muscle up, something that had been eluding me for a long time before I started training.
It improved my grip endurance without even being a focus of the program.
I am on week 7 of Rings One. This is the longest I have ever stayed with a fitness program.
I like the Rings 1 program.
I want to be back on the rings so I have a hard time taking rest and recovery days. Was thinking about doing floor training or parallettes. Do you have any suggestions on how to spend $95.00? It is Awesome!
As a trainer and owner of The Human Motion Lab in San Francisco, this R1 program has redefined what fitness is.
