The wooden rings made of beech plywood give the gymnastics rings an attractive and modern design. The straps, quick-release buckles and rings all make a sturdy impression, which speaks for a long service life.
On closer inspection, small defects can be seen on the wooden rings. However, as this is a natural material, the defects are within the tolerance range and do not impair the function or pose a safety risk.
Although no specific information is given on sustainability, it is clear that high-quality materials were used in the production process.

The gymnastic rings were clearly convincing in the practical test. They can easily withstand the maximum load of 300 kg. Mounting on the door with the door anchor is quick and easy. The free-hanging attachment also impresses with its uncomplicated installation. The height of the 4.5 metre long straps can be adjusted quickly and precisely thanks to the quick-release fasteners and the practical measuring lines on the strap. In addition, the digital training guide offers very detailed and easy-to-implement exercises and training programmes. Overall, the BeMaxx gymnastic rings impress with their functionality, quality and versatility.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that the wooden rings have too many defects or break after a short time (due to weathering). On the other hand, the measurement lines on the straps, the good quality of the wooden rings and the detailed training guide are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the wooden rings are of good quality and that minor blemishes in the wood are barely noticeable and do not restrict use.
The criticism from consumers that the rings break after a short time is only true if they have been exposed to the weather. This information should be clearly visible in the instructions for use and not just in the training guide so that it is not overlooked.
Prices of up to €54.97 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €19.99 . The gymnastic rings from BeMaxx are therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €39.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
