Frequently asked questions

What are grips for?

This is a fair question to ask and one that should be taken into consideration. A rule of thumb is, if you are not ripping your hands, you don't need grips. It is always better to develop natural grip strength first. Once you are more proficient at skills like kipping pull-up, toes-to-bar and muscle-ups and you start to feel your hands getting sore with more volume, this is the time to invest in grips to protect your hands.

Do I really need grips?

This is a fair question to ask and one that should be taken into consideration. A rule of thumb is, if you are not ripping your hands, you don't need grips. It is always better to develop natural grip strength first. Once you are more proficient at skills like kipping pull-up, toes-to-bar and muscle-ups and you start to feel your hands getting sore with more volume, this is the time to invest in grips to protect your hands.

Which grips are right for me?

The best pair of grips for you are based on your personal style, goals and types of pull-up bars you commonly use.

Chalk grips like BumbleBee and Panda are designed to be used with chalk for best performance. These are also very suited for gymnastic rings. No chalk grips types rely heavily on clean contact with the pull-up bar to aid in absolute grip.

BumbleBee grips will work on most types of pull-up bars and rings. If your gym uses chalk and there is chalk on the bars, these are the best option for you.

Panda grips are designed for higher volume work due to the thickness and generally work best on rough, uncoated (bare) bars with chalk as well as gymnastic rings.

Seal and Seal Pro grips are strictly no chalk models. Seal Pro is designed for clean powder coated bars while Seal grips will hold better on clean uncoated (bare) bars.

Pit-Viper grips work on chalk or non-chalk surfaces. They are great pair of grips to have if you are constantly mixing surfaces. Important thing to note, Pit-Viper grips are ultra-thin and do not have sweat-proof back layer.

Chalk or no-chalk grips?

There is no right or wrong. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Chalk grips have higher lifespans and more versatility, because they can be used for other pieces of equipment such as kettlebells or gymnastic rings.

No chalk grips are mostly made of rubber compounds and offer maximum absolute grip on clean pull-up bars, however, they might experience higher wear-rate depending on use.

How to use hand grips?

Reyllen gymnastic hand grips are designed to be worn slightly looser around the wrist. If you can poke a finger in between the wrist strap and your wrist, this is the optimal tightness. This way the grips brace around your wrist and prevent any skin pinching.

For best result with any of our grips we recommend thumb-over style grip, however, if you prefer thumb-under bar grip, make sure you have you knuckles as high up and over the bar as possible for grips to work their magic.

Important note - The closer you can get the bar to the wrist strap, the better the grip will be.

How long should grips last?

Grips are high friction, high wear product. They go through a lot of stress and force on daily basis. As a result they will wear-out over time. The wear-rate depends on the bodyweight, frequency of use and the amount of reliance on the grips themselves.

Typically we recommend changing grips every 6-9 months.

*BumbleBee and Panda grips can have very long lifespans if taken care of properly, well beyond the 9 month mark.

What size grips do I need?

Reyllen gymnastic grips have been re-designed for simpler more straight forward sizing.

We offer sizes WIDE and NARROW. This refers to the wrist strap and wrist circumference. Use the sizing chart on the product page for most accurate sizing reference.

Most male athletes will naturally wall into size WIDE and most female athletes size NARROW.

Both sizes offer more than enough length with optional cutlines to cut the length to size desired.

How grips work?

Hand grips effectively work by creating a layer of high friction surface between your palm and the pull-up bar. This aids in grip and protection at the same time. The more force you can apply onto the grip from your palm, the better the grip will be.

Gymnastic Hand Grips for Cross Training & Functional Fitness

What are gymnastic hand grips? 

Gymnastic hand grips designed for cross training, functional fitness, and high-rep bar work. Built to reduce grip fatigue, protect the palm during pull-ups and toes-to-bar, and improve control during bar and ring muscle-ups in high-volume WODs.

Our grips are engineered using high-durability technical materials selected for bar adhesion, tear resistance, and consistent performance across chalked and non-chalked environments.

Designed for athletes who train frequently and require reliable hand protection during metcons, barbell-to-gymnastics transitions, and gymnastics-heavy programming.

Why Use Gymnastic Hand Grips?

Gymnastic grips serve two primary functions:

  1. Protect the skin of the palm from tearing, blistering, and callus damage

  2. Improve friction and hand stability on pull-up bars and gymnastic rings

As pulling volume increases, grips allow athletes to:

  • Sustain larger unbroken sets

  • Reduce grip fatigue during long AMRAPs

  • Maintain control during bar muscle-ups

  • Continue training without skin-related interruptions

They are performance tools designed to support high-frequency training.

When Should You Use Grips?

Grips should be introduced once an athlete has developed adequate natural grip strength and bar control.

They become appropriate when:

  • Pull-up and toes-to-bar volume increases significantly

  • Palm skin begins blistering or tearing

  • Training frequency demands consistent hand protection

We do not recommend using grips prematurely, as over-reliance on artificial grip assistance may limit natural grip development.

Grip Materials Explained

There are two primary material categories in modern functional fitness:

Chalk-Based Grips

Chalk grips require magnesium carbonate to activate optimal friction. They rely on material texture interacting with chalk to create bar adhesion.

Advantages include:

  • Greater durability under high-volume use

  • Slower wear rate compared to rubber

  • Effective performance on gymnastic rings

  • Reliable grip in chalk-heavy training environments

Chalk grips typically require initial break-in. Re-chalking depends on training volume and bar surface conditions.

No Chalk Rubber Grips

No chalk grips use high-abrasion rubber polymer compounds to generate friction directly through surface adhesion.

Advantages include:

  • Locked-in grip on clean pull-up bars

  • Performance without chalk

  • Adaptability when moving between gyms

  • Consistent traction in chalk-restricted facilities

Due to higher surface friction, rubber-based grips naturally experience faster wear compared to chalk-based materials.

Grip Models & Intended Use

BumbleBee Grips – 1.8mm

Soft and versatile. Designed to work with chalk across all pull-up bars and perform exceptionally well on gymnastic rings. Suitable for most athletes seeking balanced comfort and durability.

Panda Grips - 2mm

Stiffer construction designed for rougher bars and advanced athletes training at higher volume. Provides increased protection and structural durability.

Seal Pro Grips - 1.9mm

Designed for maximum consistent grip on clean pull-up bars. Focused on stable traction over time in controlled environments.

Seal Grips - 2.1mm

More flexible construction offering added comfort. Best suited for beginner to intermediate athletes transitioning into higher-volume gymnastics training.

Pit Viper Grips – 1.3mm Minimalist

Single-layer reinforced PVC construction without added back padding. Thin, direct bar feel. Works with or without chalk across multiple bar types. Designed for athletes who prefer minimal interference and maximum bar connection.

Training vs Competition Setup

Athletes competing or training in multiple facilities should carry both chalk and no-chalk options.

Grip material should always match the training environment:

  • Chalk-heavy gyms → Chalk-based grips perform best

  • Clean or no-chalk gyms → Rubber grips provide better adhesion

Using the correct material ensures consistent performance and reduces unnecessary wear.

Quick Grips Buying Guide

Best grips for beginners - BumbleBee (chalk), Seal (no chalk) - both options offer comfort and material flexibility to allow beginners to learn and practice gymnastic skills safely. 

Best grips for advanced athletes - Panda (chalk), Seal Pro (no chalk) - Advanced athletes train at higher levels of volume and require grips that will offer durability and protection for extended and more frequent session 

Best grips for athletes who hate wearing grips - Pit Viper grips are truly the most minimalist grips you will find with no bulk, no extras, just a simple protection allowing for natural feel at its best 

Best all-round grips - BumbleBee grips are perfect for pretty much any task, any surface and will last a very long time if taken care of properly 

Best grips for toes-to-bar - BumbleBee (chalk), Seal Pro (no chalk) - It really comes down to whether you can or cannot use chalk, however, both of these will offer the best performance for toes-to-bar

Best grips for butterfly Chest-To-Bar - Bumblebee, Panda, offer great chest to bar performance, the movement skill itself requires constant hand adjustment and shifting therefore sticky grips like Seal Pro or Seal can cause some discomfort. 

Best grips for wooden gymnastic rings - BumbleBee or Panda are great options here due to the synergy of materials (wood + microfibre). 

Best grips for bar muscle-ups - Seal Pro (no chalk), BumbleBee (chalk) - Since bar muscle-ups require a lot more lock when coming down the grips will need to have a good bite. 

Best grips for small hands - Pit Viper & BumbleBee - thin, soft and flexible so there is very little between your hand and the bar while offering good grip and protection
