What Is The Hyperwear Hyper Rope?
The Hyper Rope is a space saving, weighted battle rope that doesn’t need to be anchored.
It’s made of a flexible metal core, surrounded by braided polyester that’s more durable than the Dacron material used by traditional battle ropes.
It is shorter and heavier than battle ropes so it’s doesn’t require a lot of space, making it ideal for home gyms.
Top Benefits Of The Hyperwear Hyper Rope
No Anchor Needed
Because the Hyper Rope is heavier than traditional battle ropes, it doesn’t need to be anchored to anything.
This eliminates any need to set up so I can use it anywhere without an anchoring kit or a post or tree.
Initially, I had to get used to the undulating movements but after I got the hang of it, it felt smooth.
For movements where I wanted to put more power into it, I threw a small sandbag at the end of the rope to keep it from getting out of control.
I wouldn’t say it requires a learning curve, it’s more like me having to use better coordination and control when I’m getting more explosive.
Space Saving
Most traditional battle ropes come in 30, 40, and 50 feet lengths.
The Hyper Rope Elite is the longest model and it’s still only 25 feet long so it’s shorter than the shortest battle rope.
With home and garage gyms having limited space, space saving equipment is always a big plus.
I hang it from my wall so it doesn’t take up any floor space when I’m done using it.

Best Features Of The Hyperwear Hyper Rope
Handles
The handles are made out of heat shrunk rubber tubing just like other battle ropes.
Although they are nothing out of the ordinary, having rubber grip at the ends helps to keep my grip on the ropes when I’m going fast.
Material
The Hyper Rope is made out of 100% polyester which is more durable than the Dacron used in battle ropes.
Although this won’t fray like battle ropes, I wouldn’t use it on abrasive surfaces like concrete that can reduce the life of the rope.
Flexible Metal Core
I don’t know what type of metal they use inside the Hyper Rope but it is pretty damn flexible and moves just like a battle rope.
When I first started using it, it felt a bit stiff but the more I used it, the more fluid it got.
Aside from making it heavy, the metal core also adds durability to the rope.

Hyperwear Hyper Rope Alternatives
Battle Ropes
Traditional battle ropes have been around for decades and they’re great for upper body and conditioning workouts.
I have one that has an outer cover which adds to the durability but it does require a lot of space which may be limited in home gyms.
Stroops Son Of The Beast
The Stroops Son Of The Beast is a hybrid of a battle rope and resistance bands.
I can anchor it down or use it with another person holding the opposite end.
Because it’s a hybrid, I can do battle rope exercises and use it for resistance band exercises as well.
Inertia Wave
The Inertia Wave is a light-weight battle rope alternative that’s made out of a special elastic tubing.
This tubing provides immediate resistance so it engages my entire body right before the first rep.
And the energy I put into the different movement patterns comes back to me so I’m constantly under tension.
Hyperwear Hyper Rope Price
The Hyperwear Hyper Rope Elite is a premium product so at $379, it is sold at a premium price.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, the standard Hyper Rope’s price is $299.
Hyperwear Discount Code
I’ve looked around all over the internet but I wasn’t able to find any Hyperwear discount code.
They do have a deals page but the only Hyper Rope discount I found is FREE shipping when you spend over $49.
My Experience Using The Hyperwear Hyper Rope
I dig the ready-to-use and space saving aspect of the Hyper Rope.
There’s not set up involved so I don’t have to anchor it to anything.
And with it only needing 6 feet of space, it’s a winner for the home gym.
Is The Hyperwear Hyper Rope Worth It?
With plenty of cheaper battle ropes out there, it won’t be the first option for those on a budget.
But if you value quality and durability, the Hyper Rope is for you and it’ll give you one hell of a workout.
Because of its durability, I can see this being useful in studios or with personal trainers that have many people using their equipment.
