GORNATION Gymnastic Rings Review 2025: High-Quality Rings for Calisthenics

Collage of three side-by-side uses of the Gornation Gymnastic Rings, a pair of rings on the floor, a man sitting in front of the still boxed rings and a man hanging the rings from a door anchor.

We’re unboxing and reviewing the Gornation Gymnastic Rings. Gornation is a German company that started in 2015 as a Calisthenics clothing brand. Over the years, it became one of the premier producers of Calisthenics Home Equipment, including these Gymnastic Rings. I love rings for the versatility and additional gains they can bring, so I bought a set of Gornation Gymnastic Rings. It’s time to review them and see how they hold up during my exercises.

Unboxing the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

The rings came in a simple, neat box with some positive affirmations printed on it. Bold statements like “Never give up!” and “Keep growing!” remind us that growth is continual and requires time and sacrifice. These are good messages, but let’s see if these rings can help us with those goals.

Inside the box is a black zip bag containing the wooden Gymnastic Rings and nylon straps. The zip bag is clean and straightforward and comes with a carrying loop. The Gornation logo is displayed prominently on one side of the pouch.

Aside from the rings and straps, you also get a door anchor and a small booklet with information about the rings. The straps are neatly coiled together into a disk. The rings feel nice and evenly finished, and the Gornation logo is etched on the side of each ring.

It made a great first impression, even with the unassuming packaging.

First Look At the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

  • Material: Birch wood
  • Inner diameter: 180mm
  • Outer diameter: 208mm
  • Thickness: 28mm
  • Weight Capacity: 300kg (per ring and strap)

    The rings are made of high-quality birch wood and have a fine satin finish. They feel great to the touch, which is neither smooth nor coarse. The rings can be used indoors and outdoors, but mustn’t become wet. This also means you’ll want to store them in a dry place when not in use.

    These are small concessions to make for that luxury feel of a wooden ring. I prefer wooden rings over any other material rings for their traction, sweat absorption, and even temperature, regardless of whether the environment is hot or cold.

    Hanging the Gornation Gymnastic Rings From a Bar

    The numbered straps come in real handy when you’re hanging the rings. The numbers and markings on the Gornation straps are embroidered, not printed. I like the embroidered numbers over the printed ones since these don’t wear out. 

    When hanging them up, face the side with the numbers toward you, with the zero mark right over the bar or other mounting point you’re using. Adjust the clasp to the height you want. You can now repeat the same step for the second strap, noting at which marking the clasp on the first strap is placed. These numbered straps are a fast and convenient method to equalize the rings.

    Exercising with the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

    The Gornation Gymnastic Rings are a versatile exercise tool. You can do pull-ups, muscle-ups, and rows, as well as push-ups and dips. It depends on the height at which you set your rings to gain access to different exercises. The numbered straps make switching heights quick and easy. The rings feel great, and I had no problems exercising with them. 

    Using the Door Anchor with the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

    The Gornation door anchor is a handy tool to change any door into an exercise space. The straps on the door anchor are attached next to each other instead of overlapping, which minimises their thickness and decreases the difficulty of closing the door with the anchor in place.

    You place the anchor over the door on the far side of where you want to exercise. Close the door shut and pull the straps taut. You only have to apply the straps at the desired length next.

    Door Exercises with the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

    The door anchor allowed exercises like rows and incline push-ups. Another option would be tricep extensions, and you can also pair just the door anchor with a set of Resistance Bands instead of the Gymnastic Rings.

    Conclusions About the Gornation Gymnastic Rings

    We are fans of the Gornation Gymnastic Rings, and a lot of thoughtful engineering went into these rings. From the embroidered numbers on the straps and the arrow sticker on the buckles indicating which way to feed the straps, the attention to detail is noticeable everywhere. The quality is there as well in these Gymnastic Rings. The tightly woven nylon straps and the ease with which they feed into the buckles testify to a high degree of quality assurance.

    The rings have the perfect sanding for optimal grip and feel. The accessories are also of good quality, with small details that make sense, like the side-by-side straps on the door anchors and the little loop on the carry bag.
