Best Gymnastics Hand Grips of 2025

"I use these for CrossFit, and they work really well. They look just like the picture and are comfortable."

"I bought these for my 13-year-old daughter to use on her gymnastics bar. She was getting calluses, but these protect her hands perfectly. We went with a size large. Definitely go up a size!"

"My daughter trains 16 hours a week, and these grips have held up well. She absolutely loves them!"

"I've tried many grips on Amazon, and these are by far the most superior! They offer great protection, though I felt some initial discomfort during pull-ups until my hands toughened up. The carbon/leather material gives a fantastic grip while allowing for smooth movement on the bar. I've done several workouts with them, and they are holding up really well. I definitely plan to stick with these!"

"I got these grips because my son ordered a pair, and they worked great for both of us! They take the pressure off my hands while doing pull-ups. Just a tip: be sure to twist your Apple Watch around when using them!"

"I was looking for grips for a competition and have always wanted to try BearKomplex's carbon fiber grips. I mistakenly bought their Carbon grips, which aren't actually carbon fiber. However, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Bear Komplex grips, so I’ll be returning these for the real carbon fiber ones."

"After breaking them in, my kid loves the comfort and fit for gymnastics. They typically last around 3-4 months with daily use."

"I really like these grips. They are comfortable and long-lasting, making them great for my daughter as a gymnast."

"I have to buy my daughter new grips every 3 months because they stop being grippy. However, this brand is the only one that suits her well."

"I've had these grips for over a year now, and they have held up extremely well. They're now broken in, supple yet sturdy. The stitching and Velcro are in perfect condition, and I expect to use them for another 2 years at least. I'd definitely recommend these!"

"I've been using these grips for about a month, and while the Velcro is a bit tough to tighten, the wrist support is very comfortable. The shape is great, but I noticed that the surface is a tad slippery. A little chalk helps, but it would be nice if it weren’t necessary. Overall, I haven’t had any issues with blisters or tearing!"

"I absolutely love these grips! They just get better with each wear. They are comfortable, soft, and durable. I recommend them to everyone at my gym, and they all love them too!"

"I've definitely enjoyed using these as I strengthened my pull-up game. The leather is nice and soft and feels natural. They are super lightweight, last forever, and are definitely the biggest bang for your buck. I highly recommend ordering a pair!"

"I recently tried these at the gym and absolutely loved them! They are very comfortable to wear, have a great grip, and the quality is impressive. I also appreciated the thoughtful packaging and note from the owners, so I recommend them 100%!"

"I've been using these grips for about 8-9 months now. The leather is soft and conforms to my hand, allowing me to grip various equipment easily. However, I do think the Velcro strap is a bit weak, which can be a problem during long workouts."

“These grips were exactly what my gymnast expected. They arrived super fast, and I can confidently say we will never buy another brand.”

“My daughter has used these grips since level 4, and she loves them. However, as a level 10 gymnast, I’ve noticed they don’t last as long with the release moves she performs now.”

“I bought these grips for my 11-year-old daughter in level 8. She had a hard time transitioning to grips, but these were the only ones that worked well for her. The price was decent and they arrived quickly.”

"My daughter is in pre-competition gymnastics and spends a lot of time on the bars. Her hands were really sensitive, so one of her coaches suggested these grips. I love that they are pink, her favorite color! I measured her hands using the sizing guide, and they fit perfectly. She also enjoys wearing the sweatbands that came with it. Very high quality for how affordable they were. I’ll definitely buy this again when her hands grow!"

"I found these grips for my eight-year-old who wanted bar grips, but I was unsure if she'd really use them. I chose this pair due to the lower cost, but you get what you pay for. The Velcro closures are poorly made and snag on the wristbands. My daughter felt they didn’t work well on the bars, even with chalk. She stopped using them after two practices, making these a waste of money for us."

"I'm surprised to see that this item gets returned often because these grips are the only ones that work for my 5-year-old! They don’t give him blisters or hurt his hands on the bars. I ordered an XS, and they fit perfectly. Plus, they are real leather, which is a nice bonus!"

"This is our second pair of these gymnastics grips, and they work exactly as expected. The quality is excellent, offering great support and durability through regular use. My gymnast loves them, and they provide a secure grip on the bars without any discomfort. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality grips, these are a fantastic choice!"

"I tried to save money buying a cheaper brand, but these grips are worth the money. I highly recommend them, especially since they are recommended by gymnastics coaches."

"Despite what some reviews say, I find these grips to be great. I ordered a medium size, and they fit perfectly according to the Reisport size chart. The grips arrived quickly and were fairly easy to break in. I definitely recommend getting them!"

"So far, my granddaughter is loving this set of grippers. She says they are soft, fit well, and don’t slip or slide on her hands. The quality is good as they’re well-made and durable feeling."

"I bought this for my 6-year-old daughter who does recreational gymnastics. I ordered a small size using the published chart, and the grips fit perfectly. I'm taking out a star because the price doubled when I ordered the combo of grips and sweatbands, and the sweatbands are not top quality for the price I paid. Nonetheless, my daughter enjoys wearing them a lot."

"My granddaughter was getting open raw places on her hands from gymnastics. These grips have really helped out. Her hands are healing, and she’s thankful that her grips work."

"I've only used my new grips a couple of times, but I had tried some at the gym beforehand. They fit my hands well, are versatile, and provide better grip comfort. I used to wear full gloves, but I think these will convert me."

"Since starting CrossFit about a year ago, I've noticed how damaged my hands get from all the grip work. These carbon grips really help protect my hands during bar movements. If I chalk my hands before putting the grips on, it enhances the protection even further. I highly recommend them for anyone doing bar work!"

"I love these grips! They are fantastic for pull-ups, muscle-ups, and high-volume weightlifting WoDs. They grip well but aren't overly sticky. I've tried other brands, but I won't go back after using these. Highly recommended!"
