Shifting sands

Physical Company has secured the UK distribution rights for a neoprene battling rope that contains shifting sand. The Hyperwear product, called SandRope, uses this movement of the sand to create a more challenging workout.

It’s three metres long and takes up less space than a traditional battling rope. In addition, it doesn’t need to be attached to an anchor point, opening up a greater variety of exercises.

SandRope is designed to be easy to grip and easy to clean, and is available in two weights: 15lbs and 30lbs.

Company Details
Physical Company Ltd
Fitness provision has changed dramatically over recent years, with ever larger spaces being allocated to free weights, group exercise, functional and small group training.

This shift in focus has brought our expertise to the fore; we specialise in everything today’s fitness spaces should be built around, from flooring to functional equipment and programming, rigs to combat, studio accessories to wellness solutions to complementary innovations from best-in-class manufacturers: Merrithew’s Pilates reformers, Ecore Athletic performance flooring, Reaxing’s neuromuscular training range.

We let each unique space dictate its needs, then create exceptional training opportunities.

This is why our mission statement is ‘First for Fitness Solutions’ – because we should be your first phone call. However large or small your fitness space, we’ll work with you from concept to installation and beyond to ensure it exceeds expectations.

It’s time to think differently. It’s time to turn to Physical Company first for your fitness solutions.
