A rubber weight lifting grip designed with performance in mind has launched in the UK fitness market.

Symagrips are designed and manufactured in the UK, with the aim of decreasing the risk of muscular imbalances and injury, whilst improving technique. Fitting onto a range of gym equipment, the soft-touch grips encourage symmetry in movement, hand alignment and muscular balance.

Injection moulded from 60 shore formulated rubber at Ross-on-Wye based Meadex Precision Rubber & Plastic Mouldings, Symagrips also incorporate SteriTouch antimicrobial protection.  Added in powder form at the point of manufacture, the antibacterial performance of SteriTouch remains effective for the lifetime of the grip.

Available in red, blue, pink, grey and black, Symagrips are already proving popular amongst bodybuilders and fitness bloggers looking for an alternative to unhygienic gym gloves.
