- Enormous number of rope pull exercise variations
- Activation of whole upper body
- Training of intermuscular coordination
- Gentle strength training in rehabilitation
- Training of complete movement sequences
- Training of sport-specific movements
- Low risk of injury
Disadvantages of conventional rope training:
- Big space requirements for Battle Rope training and rope climbing
- High cost of cable towers
- Not mobile – except battle ropes
- Primarily available in professional Gyms
The benefits of revvll and Battle Boa rope training machines
Our rope workout machines solve these problems of rope training. All our rope workout machines are very compact and easy to transport. Our rope workout machines can be used indoors and outdoors. They come includes with an anchor sling and carabiner so they can be suspended on any rack, bar, frame or tree. They can be pulled from above, horizontally and from below. Due to the adjustable resistance, you can have an excellent strength training or a demanding endurance training.
Rope trainer machine exercises with different resistances
The adjustability of the resistance is a key element of revvll and Battle Boa. They make rope climbing available for everyone, whether rehab patient or professional athlete. Those who prefer to train strength choose a higher resistance. For endurance training, low resistances and the longer exercise duration can be
The Lost Art of Rope Training
Once an Olympic sport, rope climbing is now something most people only recognize from old movies. While CrossFit has revived some of its former glory, rope climbing is still rarely seen in today’s training world. Safety concerns have pushed it aside, which is a shame because few exercises are as effective for building strength, endurance, and coordination.
Rope Climbing Reimagined with revvll and Battle Boa
Rope climbing is a full-body challenge that strengthens the back, shoulders, arms, and grip. It uses your entire body weight, offering high-intensity strength and endurance training. Unlike pull-ups, rope climbing demands greater coordination, as there is no fixed grip. This makes it a prime example of true functional training.
However, traditional rope climbing can be dangerous and impractical, which is why it has become rare. That is where the revvll and Battle Boa come in.
Rope Training for Everyone, Anywhere
Stationary rope climbing machines are big and heavy. The revvll and Battle Boa are designed to make rope training accessible to anyone, anywhere. They offer far more versatility than classic rope climbing while remaining compact and easy to use.
With our rope resistance trainers, you are not limited to pulling the rope toward your body. The adjustable resistance lets you perform pulling, pushing, and rotating movements from different angles by simply changing your position relative to the trainer.
Experience upper body training like never before. Train smarter and unlock the full potential of rope training anytime, anywhere.

FAQ - frequently asked questions
What is a rope trainer?
The revvll and Battle Boa are innovative rope training machines, also known as Rope Trainers. They allow you to train with a continuous rope that runs through a pulley system with adjustable resistance. Users can perform pushing, pulling, and rotational movements against constant resistance, making them ideal for full-body functional workouts.
Thanks to their compact size and the included anchor sling, they can be mounted almost anywhere - indoors or outdoors - unlocking a wide variety of training options.
What is the difference between our Rope Trainers?
The revvll ONE offers the perfect introduction to continuous rope training with its easy handling, infinitely adjustable resistance and particularly robust construction. It has an even higher maximum resistance than the revvll PRO due to the direct brake.
The revvll PRO is the professional version with eddy current brake, which enables optimal training control with its 6 adjustable resistances and the blue repetition counter in the rope. The longer rope and the smooth rope transport allow a perfect flow of movements during training.
Here is a video with the difference between revvll ONE and PRO
The Battle Boa allows Battle Ropes to be used as a rope. So, unlike with revvlls, different rope diameters can be used. With the Battle Boa, the rope is directly braked through friction. The rope is a wearing part wand can be replaced in seconds.
What distinguishes our Rope Trainers from the competition?
Currently, the revvll has no direct competition. It is a unique, space-saving, mobile, and versatile alternative to traditional rope climbing machines. While rope climbing machines simulate climbing a rope, they are stationary, often limited to one or two movement directions, and extremely expensive. As a result, they are typically only found in large gyms.
revvlls were designed to overcome all these limitations. With an endless, fused rope and weighing less than 6 kg (13 lb), it is easy to transport and can be mounted at different heights. Depending on the mounting height and the user’s position, it enables a wide range of exercises, including pushing, pulling, and rotating movements.
Unlike conventional rope climbing machines, our Rope Trainers are far more affordable, making them an excellent option for personal trainers and smaller gyms looking to expand their training offerings with a truly innovative piece of equipment.
How much space do I need for revvll training?
The space requirement of our rope workout machines is very small. The revvll itself needs only little space, the rope and the trainee take up most of the training space. Deciding factors for the necessary training space are the mounting height of the revvll and the direction in which you want to train. The most training space is needed when the revvll is mounted a hip height and the trainee pulls the rope towards their mid region. This rope training setup would take up about 2.5 m of space. To the sides you should have 2 m overall to make every rotational exercise possible. In between these margins, all exercises can be done without any limitations. If the revvll is mounted higher or lower than hip height, or the body center of the trainee, then the necessary training space becomes even smaller.
Distance to other training equipment: please note that the revvll needs sufficient distance to other training equipment like sling trainers or powerbands. Otherwise, these could be pulled into the casing of the revvll and damage it and get damaged themselves.
Where do I mount rope trainers?
All aerobis rope trainers can be suspended almost anywhere thanks to the anchor sling and the anchor carabiner. Rigs, cages or other training frames are suitable for this, as are trees or climbing rigs on playgrounds. The attachment point should withstand a tensile load of 300 kg. Make sure that the rope trainer has enough distance to the holding object to avoid accidental impacts against the housing. If the rope trainer is fixed near the ground, please make sure that it is protected from hitting the ground e.g. by a mat and that the pulling rope is fed freely and straight into the rope trainer.
The aerobis Rail + revvll Mount is an adjustable rail that attaches directly to the wall and allows quick and easy adjustment of the suspension height.
Which heights requirements do I have to consider when mounting the revvll?
The mounting of the revvll can vary in height. Both a mounting near the ground and a mounting in head height offer many exercise variations. Different heights will make different exercises possible. Make sure, however, that the resistance wheel on top of the revvll is in reach for each of the trainees at any time so they can adjust the intensity of the training to their individual fitness levels.
Our wall rail is the optimal wall mount for the revvll. It allows for quick and easy height adjustment. The rail should be installed about 30-50 cm above the floor to enable all exercises and arrange for maximum movement radius.
What is the resistance of the individual levels of the revvll?
The resistance of a revvll PRO is determined by two factors:
1: The setting of the resistance with the resistance wheel
2: The traction speed (in m/s, or rope cycles in Rounds per Minute, RPM. A full rope cycle equals 4 m)
The determined traction powers at 1 m/s range from 135 watt on level 1 up to 500 watt on level 6:
- Level 1: 135 watt
- Level 2: 160 watt
- Level 3: 190 watt
- Level 4: 280 watt
- Level 5: 390 watt
- Level 6: 500 watt
Please note: the given watt values are approximated values. The true traction powers can differ slightly.
The resistance of the revvll ONE can be adjusted progessively up to the point of blocking the rope entirely. Caution: this can increase wear because the rope is stressed disproportionately.

How can I exchange the revvll rope?
With years of experience and pioneering work in this field, we have achieved exceptional durability for the main rope. Even revvll units that have been in use for years often still have their original rope. If your revvll ever needs servicing, simply send it to us via parcel service, and we will handle the rest.
Before starting any service, we will inform you of the costs in advance so you can decide how to proceed.
What is the warranty of your Rope Trainers?
We give a 24-month warranty on factory defects (EU) and recommend annual maintenance by us in case of heavy use. The service for our Rope Trainers is generally quite uncomplicated, as the devices can be sent to us through standard parcel service.
Static charge and discharge
There can be several reasons for a static charge of the installation. One reason could be that friction from the carpet separates charges and the motion of the rope transports it to the revvll body. A static charge with the same potential of trainee, rope, and machine is also possible. When an uncharged person touches the rope, the charge can flow.
A possible solution: trainees should always be grounded in order to prevent static charge or conduct it directly. You can achieve this by using ESD protection mats which are widely available. These mats are placed on the ground underneath the revvll so that the trainee can stand on it during training. The mat is connected to an ground conductor via a cable.
These are general guidelines without commitment and must be verified with a specialist on site.
