Rank #2 in Best Parallettes 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Load Claims That Fail the Spec Table
Gravity Fitness Medium Pro Parallettes, Steel, 50 x 40 x 30 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gravity Fitness Parallettes Bars are a pair of steel-framed, wooden-handled parallettes — the Medium Pro version, model number GFPA — sold for £59.95 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 900 customer reviews. They sit at number 2 in this guide. The frame is listed at 50 x 40 x 30 cm (L x W x H) and 5.62 kg, with 40cm feet and non-slip rubber pads, and the warranty field says lifetime.
Our angle throughout this guide is the load figure, because it is the number that most often fails to survive the spec table on the same page. This is the listing where it does survive: the bullet says the bars support up to 127kg, and the Maximum Weight Recommendation row says 127 Kilograms. Those two agree. What does not agree is the handle: the bullet describes 4cm-diameter wooden handles, while the included-components field and the item type name both say "New 38mm Handles" — a 2mm gap between two rows of the same advert. Worth knowing too that the Best Sellers Rank shown here, 4,505 in Sports & Outdoors, is the identical figure shown on the other size of Gravity Fitness parallettes in this guide, and two different products cannot hold the same rank at once.
Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this product. It is the seller's specification, not a test we ran.
