Ringallets

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

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.
