FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about the Rope Fitness™ system, sizing, and shipping.
THE WORKOUT
Is this just jumping rope?
No. Traditional jump rope is linear (up and down) and high-impact on the knees. Rope Fitness™ is rotational and low-impact. You keep your feet on the ground while generating force through your core and shoulders. It’s safer for your joints but harder on your muscles.
Will this actually build muscle?
Yes, specifically functional muscle.
Unlike a dumbbell, the rope pulls outward (centrifugal force). To keep it moving, your grip, rear delts, lats, and obliques must maintain constant tension. It won’t make you look like a bodybuilder, but it will build the dense, wiry strength of a fighter or rock climber.
Is it good for weight loss?
It is a calorie incinerator.
Because you are using your upper body and lower body simultaneously (while engaging your brain to maintain the pattern), your heart rate spikes immediately. It’s "sneaky cardio"—you’re so focused on the movement that you forget how hard you’re breathing.
I have zero coordination. Can I do this?
The rope is your teacher.
You don't need to be a dancer. The weight of the FLØ rope provides "feedback"—you can feel exactly where it is. Most people master the fundamental "Figure-8" pattern within their first 10 minutes of practice.
THE GEAR
Can't I just use a cheap rope from Amazon?
You can try, but you will be fighting the tool.
Cheap ropes are usually too light (plastic) or too floppy (cotton). They don't cut through the air, which makes learning frustrating. FLØ ropes are naval-grade engineered to maintain a perfect arc in the air. You are paying for the aerodynamics that make the workout frictionless.
Which weight should I start with?
If in doubt, go with The Momentum (14mm).
It’s the "Goldilocks" rope—heavy enough to give you feedback and a pump, but light enough to flow for 15+ minutes.
- Choose The Impulse (12mm) if you want pure speed/cardio.
- Choose The Torque (16mm) if you want a heavy strength workout.
Why do you need my height?
Because knots can ruin the aerodynamics.
Most companies sell one long rope and tell you to tie knots to shorten it. This creates imbalance and drag. We custom-cut every FLØ rope, so it is mechanically perfect for you right out of the box.
LOGISTICS & CARE
How long does it take to ship?
We craft every rope to order.
Because we custom-size your rope, please allow 2-3 business days for assembly and quality checks in our Dutch workshop before shipping.
What if I order the wrong size?
Please measure twice!
Because every rope is custom-cut to your specific biomechanics and we work with small batches, we cannot resell them. We do not accept returns for incorrect sizing. However, if you are unsure during checkout, message us—we will help you get it right.
Can I use it on concrete?
Yes.
We include a Friction Prevention Kit (sacrificial tape) with every rope. Apply this to the part of the rope that hits the ground. It allows you to train on abrasive surfaces like driveways or tennis courts without damaging the structural braid of the rope.
