Orion Gymnastic Rings
$29.99 • Northern Fitness on sale as we speak for 19.99 don't quote me but last checked it was...
If you want a simple, effective upgrade to your home gym, these Orion rings are one of the easiest wins you can make.
Built from wood (the gold standard for grip), they feel noticeably better than plastic or metal less slippery, more natural, and easier on the hands during longer sets.
They’re also surprisingly strong for the price, rated around 880 lb per ring and 2200 lb on the straps, which is way beyond what most people will ever load them with.
What stands out to me...
Excellent grip
High weight capacity = confidence during dips, rows, pull-ups
Quick-adjust straps make setup easy on a rack or pull-up bar
Very affordable for what you get
What to expect
Straps are basic no numbering, so setup consistency takes a second
Finish isn’t premium (you’ll notice vs higher-end brands)
Like all wood rings, better kept indoors to avoid wear over time
Final Verdict
These aren’t luxury rings—but they don’t need to be.
They’re:
Functional
Durable
Insanely good value
Rating: 8.5/10
