Gaoykai 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

The rope is pretty amazing. Price is very competitive. recommended.

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.

The weight is just right, good quality. 👍

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.

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.

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.
