Yep we're still talking about rings
You change the difficulty of rings easier than you change weight on a barbell
You can set up rings anyway that you can hang them off something
The instability targets the small stabilisers in a way that fixed bars just don't
Even simple movements on the rings can leave you feeling like Adam
"The needs Olympic athletes and our Grandparents differ by degree, not kind" - Greg Glassman
Inside our wall you will find all ages and sizes using the same equipment, doing the same movements and pushing themselves in the same manner because our true fitness requirements don't change as we age.
Sure, we might need different levels of strength or stamina or speed in our 60's than we do in our teens but we definitely still need these abilities

Our members take birthdays very seriously
It's rare that one goes by without a celebration
Lucky we do plenty of burpees to work off the cake!
Building strength does not exclusively have to mean lifting weights!
You can build an immense amount of functional strength with just you bodyweight.
Take the rings for example, often overlooked and left in the past for their modern day copycats, the rings have an incredible ability to upper body strength and stability all whilst being versatile and accessible to literally anyone.

Moving our bodies through space and exposing the brain to different positions and orientations is important to train good spacial awareness, stability and balance
