Weighted Jump Rope for Women,Men,Heavy Jump Rope with Adjustable Bold PVC Rope,Ball Bearing Aluminum Handle,Great for Crossfit Training, Boxing, and MMA Workouts

Previously, I used a beaded jump rope for the weighty feel and to get a more intense workout. But the beaded ropes had a string threaded underneath the beads, and the string wouldn't last long enough. The Gaoykai is a stronger product with a thick plastic rope that won't wear out in a hurry. The 1 lb weight is just right for me, a bit heavier than the beaded ropes but not too much for me. I like that the weight is in the rope itself, rather than products that use metal weights in the handles. For me, this helps with timing my skip properly.

UPDATED REVIEW -- Wow! After using the Gaoykai weighted rope for more than a week, I can attest to the killer workout that this rope provides. As I mentioned in my original review below, the metal handles are hollow, and I was able to transfer the cylinder weights from my old rope into the handles of this one. The total weight is now just under 2 lbs. Now when I jump this rope for 15-20 minutes of jumping time, I am drenched! Previously with my 1 lb weighted-handle rope, I would feel the workout but I would not sweat. Now it's a whole new experience. After my 1 1/2 total workout time, I feel like I've been through a wringer of sorts. My body feels light and relaxed. Highly recommend this kind of rope for a TOTAL workout.My old weighted jump rope was nearing its end as the rope was literally worn out. However, my old rope had weights in the handles for a total of about 1 lb. I wanted to try a rope where the ROPE was also weighted, and I wanted to increase the overall weight to 2 lbs. This rope from Gaoykai fit the bill. I got the red rope which is nice and thick. The handles are metallic and hollow, and my only gripe was with the rubber grip that only covers a portion of the handle. It also felt uncomfortable. I simply rolled off the rubber grip and reversed it inside out and then put it back on more towards the top of the handles. That feels better to me. My old rope had foam handles which were very comfortable. The good thing about this rope is that the construction is pretty solid and attractive. You can uncap the handles on both ends. I was able to remove the weighed cylinders from my old rope, put some tape around them and then insert into the Gaoykai handles. I put the tape so that the cylinders wouldn't bounce around. With the rope's weight of around 1 lb. and the weights I have inserted in the handles, the total weight is not just under 2 lbs. BUT IT IS HEAVY! Going up from 1 lb. to 2 lbs. is no walk in the park. I usually jump for 15 minutes non-stop and now with this beast of a rope, I had to take a few stops until I build more resistance. Good value for the money, compared to some expensive options on Amazon.

I jump on rather unforgiving concrete at high intensity and this rope has withstood with only a few scratch marks to show for. Whereas other ropes I’ve used previous, including a weighted rope would get chewed through, and the handles would snap completely off the wire. I’ve has this rope for 5-6 months now training on and off, and I have had little to no issues. It’s the perfect bridge rope if you’re looking to move off speed ropes. Perfect for interval training spurts as well where you can max load. I’ve been able to perform every trick I would do on speed ropes, which I could not do on the other 1 lb weighted rope I had. I credit that to the ball-bearing system which keeps the spins and rotations perfectly align, with no winding. My only issue I’ve run into is the grip coming loose, and riding up the handle some, forcing me to adjust my grip, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Only wish it ran a bit longer is all. I’ve also noticed my grip strength has gotten a lot better as well, where at first my hands would tire out very quick as the rotations would add up quick, I am able to extend much longer now. I have been very pleased, you definitely get bang for your buck here.

Listen. Just buy it. If your intentions are like mine just buy it. My intention was to have a strong heavy jump rope for losing fat and gaining monster stamina. I previously purchased the speed jump ropes from amazon and those are terrible for anyone looking for a workout. This jump rope is heavy enough to make you get a complete body warm up. If you do a minute of this before working out you'll have the best preworkout possible. It is absolutely INSANE how this rope feels. You feel like you're gliding a plane or something. It's heavy but the movement is so damn smooth and consistent. I have never felt so happy using a jump rope. This is the jump rope for those looking for a serious workout and not just an occasional hobby. I could do barely 30 skips with the skinny cable ones. With this one, i was able to do 100 in a row back to back. You shouldn't doubt it, this rope is insane. The handles feel like they were made by Tesla lol. Super nice. I can't wait to get shredded with this alone. Remember, a normal jump rope is better than jogging or running to begin with... Imagine a weighted jump rope. Buy it and let's get shredded and full of stamina.

I am getting older and I decided that I didn't want to lose my ability to bounce off the ground, so going back to jump roping seemed like a great idea. This is a good rope and it's weighted for a better workout. I love it so far. I've had lighter ropes in the past, but I like this one the best. I had to shorten it to fit me and that was easy to do. Highly recommend it!

We used this PVC rope for a while. However, it has some problems.The first problem is hard to adjust its length so that different family members can use it. In order to adjust length, I had to cut short the rope or bend the rope and squeeze the bent part into the hand holder.The second problem is that the rope is too heavy, and it hurts when it hit on the feet. I had to wear light shoes to do the rope-jumping or wearing thick socks.The third problem and the most undesirable one is that it broke after used for a few months.Hope the manufacture can improve the product making it adjustable in length without cutting, more durable and lighter.After we reported the above problem, the vendor voluntarily sent us a new one to replace the old one. The new one has a lot of improvements: lighter; more durable; easier to adjust the length. It is a very pleasant experience.

It's OK to use, it's heavy and that's good.But my key problem is not solved.It curles. I set the rope under pressure with weight for two days straight and it still curls, which annoys my experience.

The rope is weighted as advertised. The rope itself is solid and not hollow. I saw it when I cut it. I have used it a few times and it doesn’t tangle up for me while I jump. The quality is good for its price. For adjusting rope length you uncap the handle and adjust where you want to lock in the rope. The lock-in device is a two piece plastic. It comes with a little pouch and some spare replacement lock-in plastics.

The jumping rope is very good.But the handles are made of plastic and are not very strong. They might break after few weeks/months.

I've used this weighted PVC rope heavily throughout the pandemic, in a wide range of temperatures, and it's performed super well.However, I would recommend modifying the handles/grips out of the package. The handles are hollow and lightweight, which makes the skipping experience a little awkward, along with very smooth grips. I unscrewed the caps and loaded the handles with stacks of hex bolts, and neatly wrapped the grip area with a bit of black hockey tape. After that, it feels like a weighted rope you'd get for 5x+ the price.Also, I'm 6'2" and it's been very comfortable. Though wouldn't recommend the stock cable length for anyone over 6'4".
