Getting a grip

With grip strength the foundation of all lifting exercises, Escape Fitness has created the GripR – a Grip Resistance Trainer that helps members develop grip strength and thereby fully maximise their studio experience.

The Grip Resistance Trainer is ideal for individual exercises but, as it has been manufactured to withstand the toughest of treatment, it’s also perfect for small group training sessions and studio work where it can be used for throwing and catching drills.

The GripR has a bright, bold design and is available in five weights, allowing beginners to progress.
