Ringallets
A gymnastics training tool that bridges the gap between parallettes and rings by preserving correct mechanics without introducing instability.
Date

Role
Product Design
Training Tool
Problem
Rings are one of the most effective tools for developing upper-body strength, but their instability makes them inaccessible for many athletes.
Solution
Ringallets replicate standard ring spacing while maintaining parallette stability.
