Rank #6 in Best Parallettes 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Load Claims That Fail the Spec Table
Gravity Fitness Small Pro Parallettes 2.0, 24 x 22 x 12.5 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Gravity Fitness's small parallettes sit at number six in this guide: a pair of steel bars with wooden handles, listed at £44.95 with a 4.6 rating from 80 reviewers. Unlike several products in this round-up, the load figure here survives the trip from bullet to spec table — the bullet says "supports up to 127kg" and the Maximum Weight Recommendation field says 127 Kilograms as well.
What does not line up is the handle. That same bullet describes 4cm-diameter wooden handles, while the Included Components and Item Type Name fields both describe "New 38mm Handles" — 38mm is 3.8cm, not 4cm. The star breakdown adds up to 100 ratings, 85 of them five-star, while the listing states 80. And the Best Sellers Rank of 4,505 in Sports & Outdoors is identical across both sizes of these bars, a position two different products cannot hold at once. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I love these bars.They were easy to put together. They are a little heavier than expected, but a nice size. so we'll see how they fit in my luggage when I fly around the world with them next week.As a beginner in Calisthenics, but have a gym background, these back become a central part of my routine. They have had good use since I bought them, and they are very sturdy and the grip feels really nice (better than do these exercises on dumbbells).”
Verified purchase“Have had these for close to two years now and working just as well since I first assembled. Frame feels super strong and sturdy. Overall great product, would recommend to everyone.”
