How to Install Gymnastic Rings?

Why Use Gymnastic Rings?

Before installing them, it’s important to understand why you should include rings in your training routine.

GORNATION gymnastic rings allow you to:

• Increase instability during exercises, activating more stabilizing muscles

• Perform a wide range of movements: dips, muscle-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, L-sits, and more

• Avoid joint compression caused by fixed bars

• Use lightweight, portable equipment to train anywhere

Calisthenics athletes particularly love rings for the freedom of movement they offer, and for the extra challenge they add to each rep.

Where to Fix Gymnastic Rings?

Choosing the right location is a key step before installing your rings. Here are the different options available depending on your environment:

1. Outdoors

• Outdoor pull-up bars: Perfect for attaching your GORNATION rings thanks to their stability

• Sturdy trees: Make sure the branch is thick, healthy, and well anchored

• Playground structures made of metal or wood: As long as they can support your weight

Tip: Make sure you have enough height (at least 2.5 to 3 meters) and clear space for your legs and arms.

2. Indoors

• Load-bearing ceilings with secure mounting systems

• Wall or ceiling mounts specifically designed for suspension training

• Power racks with suitable hooks

Avoid: weak beams or unreinforced drywall ceilings.

How to Install Gymnastic Rings According to Your Setup

Installing GORNATION rings depends on the type of support and available space. Here’s how to do it based on your setup:

1. On a Horizontal Bar or Outdoor Structure

1. Loop the straps of the GORNATION gymnastic rings over the bar

2. Adjust to the desired length

3. Use the cam buckle system to lock the straps securely

4. Check that both rings are stable and symmetrical

2. On a Ceiling or Fixed Mount

1. Install two solid hooks spaced about 50 to 60 cm apart

2. Secure the straps, making sure they’re centered

3. Hang the GORNATION rings at your desired height

4. Test the resistance before getting on the rings

3. Mobile Setup (Travel or Outdoor Workouts)

GORNATION gymnastic rings are designed to be easily portable. You can:
