Our story
A rope, reconsidered.
ROPES started with one overlooked object: the skipping rope.
The idea of jumping over rope is an ancient form of movement.
In 1600 BC, people in Egypt were recorded using flexible vines and lengths of braided natural fibres to jump over.
For thousands of years, across cultures and continents, the same simple motion - a rope, a jump, a rhythm, have endured as one of the world’s favourite ways to move.
But the tools have never been right.
Everything else in training had been refined and redesigned. The rope was left tangled, awkward and one-size-fits-none.
I have has skipped since I was a child, and after returning to it in 2019, the idea for ROPES was birthed.
After skipping with over 50,000 people since - and continuously running in to the same problems (adjustability, portability and ergonomics) - we decided to rebuild the ROPE, our way.
Working with Approach Design, the studio behind hardware for Samsung and Google,
The result is ROPES Pro: fully retractable, ergonomic and adjustable to you.
Made for the rhythm you find, wherever you are.
