Gronk Fitness Inertia Wave SOLO Grey

My trainer recommended these, and I love to hate them - or maybe I hate to love them. Either way, these were an easy addition to my workout that took things to the next level. Like most women, my core is where I struggle the most, and living in Florida I need to be bikini-ready when the beach calls my name. There is no doubt that these will make an enormous difference in my fitness routine. Plus, these have an unexpected bonus - they’re fun as hell after a stressful day at the office. (My therapist approves.)These workout ropes are a quick way to ramp up your workout with an affordable and high-quality set that actually performs. The anchor kit is secure and easy to tote with you on the go, which is a must since we stay on the road a lot.Despite what I may say during my workouts, I am so glad we invested in these. In just two weeks, I already see a huge difference!

really good for exercising.

Some reviewers are clearly not using these correctly. I have had mine for two years and have been using it for a full year for my 2x/week fitness class on asphalt and tile. They are still going strong, I store them in a bag.I am a Strongman competitor and if you feel like you are "fit" and not getting a workout with these then you likely aren't putting enough tension on them ( should be no slack at all) and aren't flicking your wrists correctly (you don't use your entire arm) or aren't engaging your core while using them. Most of my fitness clients can't do more than a minute non-stop. Its great cardio conditioning and they like the versatility of the different ways they can use it.Easy to pack and go, easy to set up, etc. Actually watch the videos, use the right tension and motion and this is a great workout.

Don't battle ropes look easy? I thought so. They aren't. They're heavy (which is the point) and take a lot of work to achieve that effortless "wave movement." Not to mention I don't have the space for one and had to grab it 1/4 of the way down, leaving a bunch of excess trailing behind me. I should clarify, I'm a mid-50s female who isn't in the best of shape, though I try to stay as active as I can. I don't see ever being in good enough shape to make the battle rope a viable option.Enter the Inertia Wave. This I could do immediately, but don't let easy fool you. Less than a minute of proper use takes my breath away. When I saw "proper use," I mean moving double time with correct form (there are several YouTube videos that are very helpful). Just swinging idly like a jump rope won't do much, so perhaps people who say it's only a gimmick are using it this way. It also makes a difference where you anchor it -- at first I tried one of those straps that go around a door (around my washing machine in the basement). This allowed too much play in the bands, so I switched to the foot pegs on my 100-pound stationary bike. This helped immensely in keeping the movement controlled and rigid, and that's where I felt the cardio benefit.As far as portability, these win hands down over a battle rope. It's also quieter and I have space to spare to use the full length, as intended.I can't comment on long-term results as I've only just gotten it set up, but just from the fact it's so easy to pick up even for a quick minute or two means I'm more likely to stick with it.If any of this sounds good to you, don't waste your money on a battle rope. You will almost certainly be disappointed. This is a far superior alternative.

I haven’t hooked it up and used it yet but the quality of the cords is really nice and I am looking forward to getting a good workout

Love it! Great addition to my fitness program.The instructional videos are a great resource.

I was considering to buy a traditional battle rope. I had a doubt that this product would work like the traditional ones. It actually worked better and gave me more muscle tension. Strongly recommend this product to anyone who seeks for a battle rope alternate.

Battle ropes are heavier and more difficult to use but are good. I would say these work much better for someone who is not muscle bound, or someone who is younger or older. These are very light weight and you control the tension with how far back you stand. Youtube has some great workouts with this, just follow the instructions for setting this up so it works the way it's suppose to. I am very happy with it and stoped using my battle rope, I would rather use this.

Works ok in tight spaces but battle ropes are better work bettet
