The Fringe Sport OneFitWonder gymnastic rings strike the ideal balance of strength and portability with their solid, high-impact injection molded plastic construction.  These gymnastics rings were created with one goal in mind – a pair of rings that could withstand workout session after workout session, but still be affordable to everyone. Add another layer of intensity to all the classic exercises – push-ups, pull-ups, dips, etc – and discover some demanding new ones to take your strength training to the next level with OneFitWonder gymnastic rings.

The Adjustable Package pairs these great rings with excellent, stronger-than-you-will-need polyester straps. You get the industry-standard adjustable straps – 15’ with a motorcycle cam buckle – for every exercise and every setup that you could want. Throw these straps over a pull-up bar, tree branch, or anything else relatively vertical and you have a full upper-body gym at your disposal.
