Typically, users will find their upper body being worked more often in rope training, but they can work other parts of their body as well. According to Stuart Jackson, marketing director for Marpo who make the machines, ‘different types of movement work different body areas.’ Those areas can include the glutes, legs, core, arms and upper body, giving you a full and effective whole-body workout. It all depends on how you decide to use the rope trainer.

Along with the different types of movement are the different levels of resistance controlled by the user. In total, there are seven different resistance levels, with level one being much easier and providing a cardiovascular workout. The more you increase the resistance level, the more difficult it gets. Once you reach level seven, you’re provided with a much more difficult, yet effective strength workout.
Even 9-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes found rope training invaluable to his training methods.
‘No matter what you are training for, you need the right tools. The V250 rope trainer delivers an un-rivaled upper body workout that is fast and effective. It helps me in my training, and it will help you in yours,’ Hughes said.
Marpo rope trainers are used in gyms, rehabilitation centres and fitness facilities of any size in more than thirty countries around the world.
Rope trainers are currently available at Pure Gym clubs across the country.
