ALL AROUND TESTIMONIAL: "I love the "New Grip". It has allowed me to lift about 20% more in just about every routine since I started using them. There has been no hand pain associated with use of New Grips, as a matter of fact the calluses that I once had are no longer since I changed to your product. I am sure all of us who utilize the "New Grip" will continue to spread the word about such a wonderful fitness product." -Richard D. Seiwert, Arizona ATHLETES: "NewGrips are indispensable training aids. I train professional athletes using NewGrips. No athlete can afford calluses or a fresh blister just because of a good workout. Grips protect those expensive hands. They deliver superior workouts compared to the leather gloves we used in the past." -Mick Smith, NBA, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Orlando Magic. ARTHRITIS:see also MEDICAL "Arthritis causes me great hand pain. No glove was able to help me workout. But, with Grips, everything is easier. NewGrips cushion and absorb weight bar shock." -Hal Syfritt, California "NewGrips saved my right hand! Arthritis joint pain has been sneaking up on me and caused weight bars to hurt. NewGrips took the pain away! I now lift like when I was much younger. If there's a motto here it is, 'Don't let weightlifting wear out your hands...instead, get a New Grip on your workout." -Ed Vigiotti, Massachusetts "I have arthritis in my hands and wrists. I would get so discouraged because I knew I could lift more if my hands didn't hurt so much. With New Grips I don't have to grip so hard and I can do more reps and use heavier weights (this is great for my self-esteem!!). Thank you for a great product." - Connie Maksemetz, Ohio "I like the freedom my fingers have using new grips. (I have OA and gloves constricted my finger joints. After a heavy lifting session, my fingers ached.) Not any more. I really like the feel NewGrips y give me when I grip the weights. This will be my third pair of pads." -Perry McGinnis " I'm a 54 year old woman with a touch of osteo arthritis in my hands. I can't believe the difference gripping onto the compressible neoprene pad instead of an un-compressible knurled steel bar. My finger joints are feeling far less stress! As promised, they are easy-on, easy-off and no heat or sweat builds up while using them. Very innovative and they require no period of adjustment. I'm glad I discovered your web-site. Keep up the good work." - Kathy Cole, Connecticut BENCH PRESS: "Our bench-press has gone up 15-30lbs. Cynthia can bench 215 for 4-reps now, and I'm doing 250-275 for 6-8reps. The grip makes a different."  —Elmus Jr. & Cynthia Billingsley, California "Bench pressing and pull-ups are more comfortable with Grips. Buying my second pair is a good deal because they endure." -Patrick Haley, Indiana "Until about 6 weeks ago I could bench up to 355 pounds and then I started getting pain in one hand and I haven't been able to tolerate more than 315 since (at times 200 has been hard). Using your "double thickness technique" I lifted 345 this evening with no pain or discomfort (at least not in my hands)." - Herb Neufeld, California "The neoprene cushion effectively protects my palms - I no longer feel significant compressive forces in my wrists when bench pressing, and after just 3 workouts, calluses are healing! Gripping bars is no longer a question of squeezing till im blue in the face or hanging on for dear life! " - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England "Since using Grips I went from benching 275# to 350# at 188 pounds and feel stronger every month." -Ryan Bennett "i just came back from my best workout ever. the guys at the gym were amazed. my top one rep bench press is 140kg its 308lbs. when u lift such weight the metal pressure on your bone gives the mind signal that it is overload. the NEWGRIP gave my mind false signal like it was very easy weight. no pressure on the bones it was amazing!!! the grip was very stable no bar shakes. my next sets were so easy all guys were amazed !! its amazing how so simple glove is so perfect!!! and i will keep telling everyone about your gloves!!!" - Itai Salamon, Israel "I have already increased my Bench by 10 pounds in the first session. I love NewGrips."- Dennis Ammon, California "Grips are a big help with the close-grip bench press, the normal bench press, and the shoulder press. The new grips make significant weight possible with all those." - Cash Coyne, Texas BODYBUILDING: "Since using NewGrips I rarely have to focus on how I grip, and instead focus intently on the muscles that I am exercising. I am now able to lift significantly heavier weights, and growing much faster then previously. Secondly, my hands are under much less torment from the rigors of hard workouts. Grips are a vast improvement over the gloves and straps I've tried in the past... I love the product." -Tim Radle, Ohio "I just love these things! I have no hand pain at all following my sessions, and the grip is far superior to that of any gloves I've ever used. They keep my hands cooler and the bar drier. I'm able to forget about my grip now and concentrate fully on breathing and form. I have no doubt that these NewGrips will be replaced with other NewGrips when the time finally comes!" - Brad Hummer, Colorado "Listen, I have 4% body fat, ripped muscles and 8 pack abs. Earlier, when someone would ask for advice on how I get my physique I would hesitate to answer cause I wanted to keep my secrets. I now have the same feeling when people ask me about my NewGrips. At first, I wanted to be the only one with these kick ass gloves but now I freely tell them about your website and product. Simply put, Grips make everything easier to do. I am a very happy customer." -Reginald Saffold, New York, NY "Nothing slips in my hands anymore. Grips really work. I stay more focused and that's what really counts.' —Phil Hernon, 1995 U.S.A. Bodybuilding Champion "I am a hard core bodybuilder and NewGrips make my grip much more stable and secure. I'm glad I found them on the internet." -Kenneth Shepherd, Texas "BODY for LIFE" Program Participants: "...love the New Grips. They make my workout enjoyable. I also know for a fact I was able to use heavier weights on my dumbbells." -John R Mayfield, Michigan "...my workout is more comfy. Much better then gloves. I zoomed up 5 lbs on everything my hand touched from deadlifts to curls. Very cool." -Bud Alston, Doylestown, PA "New Grips definitely make lifting heavier dumbbells more comfortable." -Loyd Turner, Texas BODY PUMP WORKOUT: "Yes, the NewGrips help with Body Pump because hand sweating no longer interferes with my grip, and with the support and cushioning of Grips I can concentrate more on my form instead of just holding onto the bar." -Dana Druminski, Michigan "I found the winning combination for BodyPump: The PowerPads and wrist straps. I used them yesterday during class and it was great. The combination has already started to alleviate my huge problem with doing chest presses. Before, by the end of the chest press track, my hands were crimson red and in excruciating pain. I have already gone up in weight as well. I also find a big difference when I am doing dead-rows, dead-lifts...the wrist straps keep my wrists straighter and I don't feel as much of a strain when I am bringing the bar down. I forgot them at home last week and sure enough, I had to go down in weight. They really do make a big difference. If more people that did Pump knew about these things, who knows! I am tellin ya, I won't be leaving home without these babies. Good stuff!" -Christa Tsoukalas, New Hampshire CALLUSES: "Your product allowed me to be callous free again." —Matt Mathrani, Massachusetts "In my profession one cannot afford calluses. I have never used a product that better protects the hands against calluses, blisters, tendinitis, and wrist over strain." —Doug Casey, LMT, Massage Therapist at the 96' Olympic Games  "I'm a nurse practitioner and rely on my hands to assess patients. I have no calluses thanks to NewGrips. I LOVE how they relieve pressure and tension from my fingers, allowing me to use more weight and not be limited by weakness or pain in my hands and fingers. I will be life-long user of New Grips!" - Kathy Patterson, North Carlolina "The calluses on my hands are healing up, man does it ever help. They also feel much better than the bulky gloves I had." -Mike Adelmann "Best of all no calluses. I look great and so do my hands. Thank you!" —Matt Worley, Viginia "The neoprene cushion effectively protects my palms - and after just 3 workouts, calluses are healing! Gripping bars is no longer a question of squeezing till im blue in the face or hanging on for dear life! " - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: see MEDICAL CONGENITAL HAND DEFORMITY: "Your revolutionary new lifting gloves are a godsend! I was born with a congenital hand deformity and was left without a thumb on my right hand. Two years ago, I underwent a procedure to have my right Big Toe removed and attached on my hand to act as a thumb. With a world of new possibilities suddenly presented before me, I soon thereafter became interested in weightlifting, but had trouble finding a glove that "fit like a glove" so to speak. I have to say that after months of fruitless searches, I've finally found the perfect fit in your amazing gloves. I can say goodbye to thick, oozing, painful blisters and calluses FOREVER! I don't know whether it's the increase in comfort, confidence, or a combination of the two, but my maxes have gone up between 5-7% in the past 45 days alone! Please accept my most sincere gratitude for making a glove fit for a king! (and a toe) It's not everyday when something this special happens for me, so please do me the favor and let me know that you have thanked the appropriate people for my amazing glove! This is important to me! I look forward to hearing from you soon, and thank you again! Sincerely, -James Deniz Varan, Texas COMPANY REPUTATION : "How refreshing to find something that delivers what's advertised, and much more. The NewGrips are fantastic... definitely superior to traditional gloves. I like the "openness"; no more wet hands and rotting gloves! Thanks." -John Nichols, Maryland "Its nice to know there are some products being made now that are really worthwhile. I am glad to be getting my second pair of Grips. NewGrips are better for my hands, wrists and weightlifting in general." - Olaniyan ADAMS, D.C. "I just wanted to say that I think your attention to customer satisfaction shows that you are truly a man of integrity. It is highly appreciated and makes me feel at ease doing business with you, especially over the internet. I wish you and your company great success. From what you have shown on your site and your actions, you deserve it. I look forward to receiving my newgrips and experiencing what everyone is raving about!" ALEX KANG, California "Not another cookie cutter gloves. NewGrips are out-of-the-box thinking. " -Nathan Shapiro, New York "The invention is ingenious!! The comfort in ones hands is remarkable." - Neil M. Harris, Massachusetts "You have given the best customer service I have received in a long time. Thanks a million," -Tamara McKenzie-Fullick "Everything you claim for Grips is true: my grip was stronger straight away and fatigue in my wrist was almost non-existent! They're truly an excellent product. A million times better than gloves or bare hands." -Chris Alexander, Surrey, England "Your company set a standard others should follow. These gloves are amazing... so simple yet so versatile and comfortable. Never a product was shipped to me from over seas so quickly." - Noam Hadany, Jerusalem "I was nervous whether the gloves could deliver what you advertised, as they seemed to be created from such a simple concept. I can already feel and see a difference. There is less pressure on my hands. My calluses are disappearing. Thank you," Aparna Gupta, Personal Trainer, Maryland "I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding service you provide along with such a great product. I want you to know that I have made sure everyone in my circle of family and friends now use NewGrip because I have raved about it from the moment I started using it. You have a great company. Thanks!!" — Carla Cabrera, Virginia macabrer@vt.edu "I read the customers comments and was skeptical at first, however, to my surprise, I too have gained 10-15 pounds on weight the first day.. Also grip was no longer an issue and I could feel the contraction of each rep. Two words sums them up....totally awesome!" Jawaun Lewis, OKC, OK. "Amazing product! I was skeptical and wondered how these grips could offer so much. But after trying them I found that everything the website said was completely true and more! Not only did they allow me to lift more, but they were so comfortable that I could hold the weight for a longer period of time (allowing me to do more reps) without hand fatigue. I am extremely impressed with the New Grips." -Eugene K., California "I'm going to make sure to tell my glove-less work out buddies about these newGrips and your site, and also mention how nice you were to have sent me a pair even tho the original ones never got to me." - X. Doan, Kansas DEAR ALAN, IT WAS NICE TALKING TO THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE NEW GRIP WEBSITE. SOMETIMES SOMETHING JUST FEELS RIGHT, AND ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT WITH THE FIRST PAIR I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I REALLY HAD NO WORDS... IT WAS LIKE WORKING OUT WITH MAGIC HANDS!!! WHAT MAKES IT EVEN BETTER IS THAT YOURS EARS ARE OPEN TO BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. IT IS NICE TO KNOW SOMEONE CARES. FEELING COMFORTABLE DURING WORKOUT IS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS AND YOUR PRODUCT IS THE KEY. LIKE I SAID BEFORE "USING GRIPS IS LIKE I AM NOT EVEN WEARING GLOVES". I WILL USE THEM FOREVER. - YOUR FRIEND, PAUL JOSEPH FOURNIER, Florida pj@appiusa.com DEAD LIFTS: see also POWER LIFTING "I have already bought 4 different types of gloves and my grip always let me down, BUT with NewGrips I have put 20 kilo on my deadlift and more reps, plus I can do bent lateral raises now where before the weight slipped. I recommend them to everyone." -Terry Trimble, Ireland chill.man@ntlworld.com "With my hands protected with NewGrips, I can now deadlift up to my max, lower 500's. I would tell experienced lifters that the Grips provide good palm protection and do not make your hands as hot as gloves (which can be a real pain) but that chalk is still needed at higher weights. (Grips worked fine for everything but heavy dead lifts, so, I set aside the wrist straps and slide the pads well up my wrists so that the padding ends at the bottom of my fingers; leaving my fingers and thumb with no protection (which only my palms need anyway.) Works fine." -Russell Rowls, Texas "...I work out for general fitness and to keep myself healthy. But following a program I found a problem doing dead lifts, in that I could not hold onto the bar at the weight required for the exercise. The goal was 4-6 reps per set, but I could only manage 3-4 simply because I lost my grip, and the calluses on my hands were agony. With your gloves I can either lift the 6 in one go, or do 4 then quickly reset the grip and finish the set. And my hands look much better now! Your gloves are excellent." - Edward Mason, England FOLLOW UP 1 Year Later: "The thing I like most about NewGrip gloves is the extra grip which allows me to lift heavier weights on exercises like deadlifts (now over 220lb /100KG.) But more importantly they allow me to use the same weight, on an exercise, as before but maintain much better form since I am not struggling with simply holding the weight." - Ed Mason, England DRUMMERS: "I'm a drummer. I use your Straps to strengthen my hands and forearms which have been affected by repeated force. Good drumming is all in the wrists. All other straps are bulky or restraint type. I know it sounds nuts, but just strapping my wrists helps a great deal. Yours are the only straps I've found that do not hinder my playing. I used them at a 4 hour gig over the weekend. They worked great and there was very minimal ache in my hands afterwards. The ache is associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and not drumming itself--drumming aggravates it... But as I said, little fatigue and no residual pain. Cool! Thanks so much." —Ric Garcia, California ricpg@adelphia.net "The good news is my hand and arm are feeling much better...your wrist bands definitely got me through a few gigs when it was really hurting...i am very grateful to you for that...i am not wearing them every time I play but it definitely helps when it is acting up...i am feeling a lot better...they are especially helpful when I play with the Spin Doctors since I play quite a bit louder with them then my other gigs....thanks again..." — Home Page of Aaron Comessdrummer, producer, session player "THANKS so much for the wrist straps. They have proven to be a godsend. They really work well and enable me to play with much more comfort than I ever thought possible. The straps are a real relief tool. I owe ya. The straps do seem a simple thing but they do something good. It almost seems that the tighter you pull them the better they work. I am going to order a second pair for home. I may even try sleeping with them on. I do know that this is the first weekend in a long time that I haven't felt pain while playing and that is a big accomplishment." —Steve "Boomtap" Wurts SplitDecisionBand "Even though WFD Athletes are in TOP Physical Condition they use NewGrip Straps because it gives them the 'Extra Edge' in Comfort, Support, Controlled Wrist Temperature.. and besides they are just plain COOL looking!" - Boo McAffe, inventor of the Drumometer Visit Worlds Fastest Drummer Web Site:WFD FINGERS & HANDS: "I have been using your great new grip gloves for about two years and one of the palm pads ripped. I work out 5 days a week. I love your product but I'm in a bind and the gloves I'm wearing (while waiting for a new set of Grips) are killing my forearms and my fingertips. Please get me a new pair quickly!!! A New grip user for life." Scott Hammond, Washington " I thought I was never going to be able to train again because of the pain in my fingers. I saw doctors, specialist and they all told me I have to stop. When I came across NewGrip I was hesitant, but I am now amazed, its like my fingers just healed. I cannot train without them." - Mina Habib, England "I'm a nurse practitioner and rely on my hands to assess patients. I have no calluses thanks to NewGrips. I LOVE how they relieve pressure and tension from my fingers, allowing me to use more weight and not be limited by weakness or pain in my hands and fingers. I will be life-long user of New Grips!" - Kathy Patterson, North Carlolina "Since using NewGrips I no longer feel tingling sensations in my hands orfingers. My wrists have better support, which I feel allows me to perform the exercises more correctly and thus reduce strain." Bill Bohaboy "Plain and simple, without the New Grips I couldn't complete my personal training session. My fingers were giving out long before my muscles! The grips solved that problem... they take the abuse and let me get on with the workout." -William Vitulli, NY "NewGrips give my hands more cushioning than any other gloves I have used and also cover the entire portion of my fingers that are in contact with the weights, unlike your typical weight gloves. Thanks for a great product" — Joe Patel, Indiana SEE ALSO: Numbness AND Tingling FIT: "We love the way they have "broken" in and now fit/mold to our hands; It's like they were custom made for us personally!" - Stacy W. and Sean W. Bengochea, Indiana More on How Grips Fit FREE WEIGHTS: "I find NewGrips indispensable for working out with free weights. Besides taking the stress/strain off the hands, they allow me to go heavier - as my grip is actually strengthened! Plus, nothing is more comfortable. They provide excellent grip adhesion with perfect padding. They stabilize my grip against bar rotation and they don't tear up the skin on my hands." - David Tsai., Florida "My first impression was that NewGrips were strange, since they're so different looking and feeling from conventional gloves. But they felt great lifting weights with. They're comfy and offer support. They make a hell of a difference with the heavy dumbells, which used to hurt my hands a lot, and I'm able to lift heavier weights with greater ease. And, YES, NewGrips have improved my bodybuilding." - Rylan Goudreau, Northwest Territories, Canada "NewGrip work marvelously with my workout. Tremendous support and wrist pain relief, while giving me a very safe and consistent grip. I would highly recommend these for anyone who trains with free weights or any resistance machinery." -Marc A. Cirigliano, Rochester, NY FRANCAIS (FRENCH): "Ils tiennent tellement bien les charges qu'on as l'impression qu'elles sont coller a nos mains. Comme par magie les charges augmentent des les premiers essais. Ils sont tellement confortable qu'apres les avoir porter une fois, vous garderez vos vieux gants d'halterophilie pour vous rechauffez les mains en hiver. Tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour un entrainement reussi. Plusieurs ampoules en moins et plusieurs kilos d'augmentation de charge en plus. Je vois les autres qui portent des gants et je ne les comprends plus" -Mario Montambeault, Quebec TRANSLATION: "They stick so well to the weight bar; you get the feeling they are glued to your hands. It's like magic how I could lift more on the very first try. They're so cool and comfortable that you'll have to find another use for your old gloves! They are all you need for successful training. Now when I see people wearing gloves and it doesn't make sense to me anymore!" " J'utilise les NewGrips depuis 3 ans et pour moi, ils sont le meilleur outil que je possède pour augmenter mes poids. Ces gants permettent de manier des poids plus importants avec plus de confort et un meilleur contrôle. Aussi, transiger avec Alan (le propriétaire) c'est comme acheter d'un ami." Yannick Moreau, Quebec TRANSLATION: "I have been using NewGrips for the past 3 years. These gloves are the most important tool for increasing my workload. They allow me to manage more weight with more comfort and control. Also, doing business with Alan (the owner) is like buying from a friend." DEUTSCH(GERMAN) : ""Meine "extra small" NewGrip Gewichtheber-Handschuhe passen mir sehr gut. Sie sind einfach herrlich! Ich muss mich nicht mehr um meine Hände kümmern, während ich versuche, eine Superfrau zu werden. :) Herzlichen Dank!" -Nancy Robinson TRANSLATION: Your extra small size fits great. They are fantastic. I NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY HANDS AS I TRY TO BECOME SUPERWOMAN. :)   ESPANOL(SPANISH): 1."Hola a todos solo quiero decirles que estoy usando actulmente lon nuevos guantes del levantamiento de pesas de NewGrip con su nuevo diseño y se los recomiendo, olvidense de ampollas manos rasposas y dolorosas, tomen mi palabra con estos nuevos pads sus problemas se olvidaran." —Jose Cardenas, Mexico Translation: "I just wanted to let you know that I am using the new redesigned grip pads from NewGrip and I recommend them. Forget about calluses, sore and pain full hands, take my word: with these new grip pads all of your troubles will go away." 2."Me gustan los NewGrips mas que guantes convencionales ya que previenen los callos de las manos mejor. Los guantes convencionales se aprientan donde comienzan los dedos y te causan callos los NewGrips no. Adicionalmente los NewGrips por su diseño se mantienen mejor, se secan mas rapido y no cojen malos olores tan rapido." -Marco Romero, Miami, Florida Translation: "I like your NewGrips more than conventional gloves as they prevent the formation of calluses. Conventional gloves bunch up in the finger joints and cause discomfort. And do to their design NewGrips are much easier to keep clean. They also dry out fast and do not pick up odors as conventional gloves do." "Me han funcionado muy bien los new grip que les compre pero despues de someterlos a un intenso entrenamiento durante mas de dos años ya necesito repuestos, por favor envienmelos lo mas rapido posible, gracias y felicitaciones por su producto." —Miguel Angel Landeros Martinez, Mexico LEATHER GLOVES or NEOPRENE GRIPS?: "I am a hardcore bodybuilder. I have been using Harbinger gloves that also act as wrist straps, but I like yours better. NewGrips have a LOT more cushion." -Kenneth Shepherd, Texas "With Grips I can lift harder and longer. My arms and upper body are more cut, probably due to improved technique enabled by your product. Now, I have to return those Saranac gloves to Big 5..." -Michael Shibata, California "I have been a very satisfied NewGrip user. But, after over a year of use they finally wore out and I decided to try something new. So, I bought a pair of Versa Grips. They SUCK BIG TIME. They provide no protection for my fingers, like Grips do. They hurt. Their straps offer no wrist support. So, I returned them. In the mean time, I'll just go bare handed until another pair of NewGrips arrive. I have learned my lesson." - Kenneth Sheperd, Texas "I was using "Glovz" by "Cover Upz," which I really liked but they wore out quickly. And neoprene DOES get smelly. I have weights at home and I also do body weight exercises like pushups. At the same time I might be puttering about cooking or doing laundry. Using NewGrips is great because unlike gloves they are so easy to put on and take off. I almost bought another pair of Glovz, but I'm glad I decided to try Grips. They're great." - Lynne Barkett "I have used every type of weightlifting glove before I settled and stayed with NewGrips. This order is for my 5th pair." -Chris Jamias, California "This is my second pair. My first pair that I bought a couple of years ago are finally worn out. This is a great product." -Chris Lindauer, Texas "They are 10 times easier to wear than gloves, they don't turn my hands black or make them stink, and they keep my hands much cooler." - SGT Beth Covais, US Army "Your handgrips outperform any glove I have used by far. They are superior in cushion, support, and durability to gloves. Regarding performance, I can work the muscles on which I am isolating longer because the grips reduce (in some cases eliminate) hand pain. I doubt I'll ever buy another pair of gloves." - Michael Davis, Georgia mdavis0967@yahoo.com "My NewGrips are great. They're comfortable to wear, provide good wrist support and give me much better control on the bar than conventional gloves. The open back keeps my hands much cooler. Customer service has been great." — Andrew J. Grant, Ph.D., New York "Having worn every kind of glove over the last 13 years, nothing is easier to get your hands out of in the middle of a workout than NewGrips,(to cool them off or increase your dexterity for writing, etc.)." -Mike Osborne, California "The adjustabilty and versatility of the grip made these the most user friendly gloves I have ever used." - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England "I will continue to recommend your grips to fellow gym rats. It's nice to know that I don't have to go back to gloves." -Ernie Razzano, New Jersey "tNewGrips are the best weightlifting gloves!! I work out four times a week and I put them through a severe test. They give me a powerful grip which help me lift more. I like the open palm that lets my hands breathe. I have tried all types of lifting gloves and these are the BEST." -Alan Fernandez, New Mexico "I have been using your great new grip gloves for about two years and one of the palm pads ripped. I work out 5 days a week. I love your product but I'm in a bind and the gloves I'm wearing are killing my forearms and my fingertips. Please get me a new pair quickly!!! New grip user for life." -Scott Hammond, Washington "I couldn't imagine using anything else -- regular lifting gloves simply pale in comparison. I love the extra coverage at the base of the thumb. A lot of times that area would be exposed and grind against the bar or edge of the dumbbell plates but now even that is not a problem." -Frank Longo, NYC "After using NewGrips for several months I like them so much that I'm surprised old style lifting gloves still exist!" -Manoel Penna, California "They're so cool and comfortable that after the first use you'll have to find another use for your old gloves! They are all you need for successful training. Now when I see people wearing gloves it doesn't make sense to me anymore!" -Mario Montambeault, Quebec "Here's a "girlie" bonus: I can wear my wedding ring comfortably while wearing NewGrips which is something I couldn't do wearing gloves. My hands breath better as well. You have an outstanding product" - Stacy Bengochea, Indiana "I give NewGrips an A+. I hated using gloves, and suffering through the sweat and heat on my palms. It was a real pain pulling gloves off my hands. NewGrips completely solved that problem. Grips are easy to slip out of and expose my hands to fresh air between sets. This too is a big +." -Bob Miller, ILLINOIS "Ouch! One of the biggest drawbacks using typical gloves is their seams. I got more blisters and sore spots on my hands from those seams than I did lifting bare handed! That is why I used bicycle inner tube sections for years until your gloves came along. Since using Grips no more sore hands and much better workouts." NOEL KOCHER, Michigan "Not just another glove that you have to jam your hands into. NewGrips go on and off in an instant and leave my hands comfy, cool and protected. Can't imagine how Grips could get any better." -Andrew Ross, Florida "NewGrips feel much better than the bulky gloves I had. Grips definitely help my hands like you said they would." -Mike Adelmann "It's amazing, the Grips are so simple, yet so effective. I do not have to concentrate nearly as much (if at all) on my grip of the bar, and my hands feel much less fatigued after a good workout. Thanks for the great product," -Ken Clark, UT "Thanks for the awesome gloves!!!!" -William Zambrano MD "At the gym yesterday and I saw some guys putting on the workout gloves that I used to wear and thought how happy I was to have discovered NewGrips and no longer had to deal with gloves anymore. " -Ed Carron, New Jersey "I LOVE THEM!!!! These are the best weightlifting gloves I've ever used. They allowed me to lift heavier. And they're so comfortable. I am so psyched about these gloves!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this product." -Louise Miller, Rhode Island "NewGrips are absolutlely one of the best finds in my 10 years of working out." -Tim Radle, Ohio "NewGrips are everything you said they were. I particularly notice the airflow in and around the gloves. At first, I was skeptical about the chafing protection you promised, but since using them I don't believe my skin has touched a knurled bar the whole time! Thanks Alan. -Mark Landis, Tennessee "I really don't want to go a day weight lifting without them." -Major Richard Ward, U.S. Army "My first pair of Grips lasted almost 2 years. I workout 3 to 4 times a week and find that the Grips make for a more comfortable workout." -Billy King, California "My first pair of Grips lasted 3 years! I like that my hands do not get sweaty as they did in traditional gloves and there is much better hand padding. I bench 105 lbs which is just under my body weight. Its a lot of pressure on my hands... which Grips relieve." -Judy Ohara, California GOLFERS / TENNIS ELBOW: "I ordered Grips because I have "golfers elbow". I could not do any form of press curl or row without my elbows killing me. My wife who is an Occupational Therapist, was pretty skeptical but after using Grips for three days I can do everything I want to pain free. New Grips are such a simple solution to a problem lots of us in the 45 plus age group have. I am really thrilled." -Richard Boothroyd, Ohio "I have to admit I was very skeptical when I first ordered your product. I lift weights an was battling a worsening case of elbow tendinitis. But I have to admit that they helped a great deal.Your NEWGRIPS and a recent steroid injection (in the tendon) have made a BIG difference. Thank you very much, I'm almost back to my old self. You have a great product." Kevin Pippen GRIP: "I can get a better grip, even on the pull-up bar." —April Henderson, Department of Molecular Biology and  Biochemistry, University of California, Irvine "It was scary at first following your advice not to over squeeze the weight bar. I was used to squeezing the bar to death. But once I started to relax it I discovered that strong grip is automatically there... even though my grip was loose. NewGrips have a lot of holding power. So, with this new relaxed grip I was able to add 5 to 10 pounds to most loads. This is amazing. Also, I originally ordered because my elbows were hurting. But, your wrist straps stabilized my wrists and keep them in a straighter line. Now when I do heavy bench work or dummbbell rows,,,, my wrists and elbows are pain free." - Vinnie Siros, Connecticut "My grip no longer gives out before my muscles do!" —Derrick Vorhorn, Architect, Washington "Plain and simple, without the New Grips I couldn't complete my personal training session. I simply do not have the grip required to do prolonged workouts placing stress on palms or fingers. My fingers were giving out long before my muscles! The grips solved that problem... they take the abuse and let me get on with the workout." -William Vitulli, NY "Using NewGrips I can grip weightlifting bars without squeezing till I'm blue in the face or hanging on for dear life! " - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England "...my grip was stronger straight away and fatigue in my wrist was almost non-existent! They're truly an excellent product. A million times better than leather gloves or bare hands." -Chris Alexander, England "...was working out with a Trainer yesterday and kept losing my grip. He let me borrow his Grips and it was like I was glued to the bar." -William Hinckley, New York "The improvement in grip is amazing. I am by no means a heavy lifter or bodybuilder, I work out for general fitness and to keep myself healthy. But following a program I found a problem doing dead lifts, in that I could not hold onto the bar at the weight required. The goal was 4-6 reps per set, but I could only manage 3-4 simply because I lost my grip, and the calluses on my hands were agony. With NewGrips I can lift the 6 in one go. Your gloves are excellent." - Edward Mason, England "NewGrips save my hands and wrists, and allow me to ease pressure on my forearms because I don't have to grip so hard. " - Farook Ahmed, Princeton University HANDS or HAND PAIN:see also MEDICAL "Since using NewGrips my hands are never sore after a workout." —Clayton Smith, Mississippi "The heavy pressure of the weight bar on the bones and tendons of my hands doesn't hurt when using the Grip. AND - the hand pads don't get stinky like leather gloves do. Remarkable product." —Christy Bolster, Washington "I am a 56 yr. weight lifter and have been having some problems with my hands. I used my new grips for the first time today and they are TERRIFIC! I was able to work out longer and use heavier weights without pain. I am also a ballet dancer and my hands were even hurting less during dance class. Thank you for your great product." - Judith Russell, Indiana "Grips put me in control of the weight bar and put an end to hand pain." -Peter Bell, California "Like shock absorbers for the hands. A great product!" -Al Cheney, New York "For the first time ever I was able to get through a 1 hour workout w/o hand pain. Grips took my mind off my hands and let me concentrate more on lifting." - Donna Hammock, Alabama NERVE PAIN 1 "NewGrips help stop nerve pain associated with weight lifting. The nerve endings in ones fingers and hands are very sensitive to pain and pressure. Several clients have had this problem until using NewGrips. The hand pads allow them to train with minimal disturbance even as they increase their weight loads. Great product." -Dennis Garnham, Owner, NH Trainers, New Hampshire NERVE PAIN 2 "I have used your product for upwards of two years....I had surgery three years ago on my ulnar nerve in my left arm (transpostion of the ulnar nerve). It felt as if I had no cushion in my hand...like there was no muscle in between the skin & the bone. Regular weight lifting gloves did not provide the cushion I needed. I found your product on the web...bought it, used both the right & left pad(doubled it up) on the left hand to provide the cushion I needed. Over time, my ulnar nerve repaired itself & I know longer need to double up the pads. I enjoy your product and recommend it to all who ask about it & to my friends who also weight train." - J. Ben McCutcheon, III, South Carolina "You're gloves are truly one-of-a-kind. I've had severe hand pain. It was so bad that as soon as I finished my set I would grind my teeth in pain. On the first day with NewGrips the pain was reduced by at least half, the second day I only felt slight pain, by day four I felt nothing whatsoever! I still don't get the science behind these miracle gloves but I surely experience it. And YES my workouts have improved greatly; I am back to curling 50lb dumbbells, and benching 315lbs, thanks to your NewGrips. " - Francisco Gomez, New York "I have a bad left hand and could not lift the weight I wanted UNTIL I received your NEW GRIPS . When I first opened the package I thought, What the heck is this going to do? Well I soon found out. They're GREAT!!" -Bob Yax, Michigan "I felt immediate relief from hand pain the first time I used NewGrips. No more calluses and no more fingernails dug into my palms, yahoo!! I lift better and easier now that I’m not focusing on the pain but rather on the form. Just what I was looking for." -Lourdes Gonzalez, Florida "More than anything else, I didn't realize how much stress and pain I suffered through in a normal workout until I started using New Grips. Now I can truly focus on technique and not have to worry about sore wrists or tender hands afterwards." - Brenden Bixler, University of Texas "You have a quality product that really makes lifting weights much easier on my hands. " -Daniel Lunsford, Wisconsin HYGIENE: ".One of the unexpected benefits (of using NewGrips) is that they prevent me from ever having to touch equipment at all with any part of my hands if I don't want to (read: sweaty equipment). " - Stacy Bengochea, Indiana "Another benefit is that I don't have to touch the bacteria and germ populated weights that others cause sweatin' away in the gym. I can just wash the 'Grips' at a later time, and not have to worry too much about my hands being dirty." - X. Doan, Kansas INJURY: "New Grips offer patients a way to return to lifting weights while protecting and supporting the median nerve. This is an ergonomic breakthrough" -Minga Guerrero, Chiropractor Portland, OR "I BROKE A SMALL BONE IN MY WRIST, I THINK IT'S CALLED A SCAFHIOD BONE. WELL, WORKING OUT IS ONE OF MY PASSIONS IN LIFE AND A YEAR AFTER A SURGERY, WHICH DID NOT HELP, I WAS EAGER TO START WORKING OUT AGAIN. BUT LEATHER GLOVES DID LITTLE TO HELP WITH THE PAIN. OUT OF SHEER FRUSTRATION I SURFED THE NET AND STUMBLED ON TO YOUR SITE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT "YA, ANOTHER INVENTION THAT PROMISES THE WORLD"; BUT AFTER TALKING TO YOU I FELT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOUR PRODUCT, AND WITH THAT I ORDERED NewGRIPS. MAN ! I CANNOT EXPRESS MY ENTHUSIASM ABOUT NewGRIPS. NOT ONLY DO THEY DO AS PROMISED BUT THEY FAR EXCEED MOST OF THE CLAIMS MADE. THEY HELP MY WRIST PAIN SO MUCH THAT LIFTS I WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT BECAME VIRTUALLY PAIN FREE. THEY HOLD WHAT EVER YOU GRASP. THEY ARE STRONG, WELL MADE AND I WILL NEVER WEAR ANY THING EVER AGAIN BUT THESE GLOVES / MITTS. WHEN YOU ARE DOING FOR INSTANCE A HEAVY DEAD LIFT YOU CAN USE THEM BUT I JUST SLIP MY FINGERS OUT OF THE ELASTIC BAND AND GRAB THE BAR FREE HANDED - TALK ABOUT CONVENIENCE. THE ONLY THING I REGRET IS THAT I DON'T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY; BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE YOUR PARTNER - THESE MITTS WILL ROCK THE LIFTING WORLD. I HAVE USED MANY LEATHER GLOVES BUT NONE HAVE IMPRESSED ME LIKE GRIPS. COMFORT AND GENIUS IS ALL THAT COMES TO MIND. GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH YOUR ENDEAVOR."

"I added 9 more pounds my first day thanks to NewGrips. My benching reached 278! I really broke through a plane that day. On another core move, the squat, I reached 430." —Mark Landis, Tennessee "New Grips definitely make lifting heavier dumbbells more comfortable." -Loyd Turner, Texas see Wrist Straps LIFTING STRAPS or NEW GRIPS: "Using NewGrip I am actually able to do lats and shrugs(or shoulders) without my old lifting straps! NewGrips enable me to actually work my lats and not have to rely on supportive muscles to finish the job. I actually did 20 lbs over my normal max as compared to when using straps. SOLD." - Steve Spooner "NeGrips make work-outs more comfortable which allows me to get more out of them. And, unlike lifting straps, you cannot cheat on your grip, which means that you cannot cheat on the exercise. Even pushups are more comfortable. In short I accomplish more - with less stress and strain." —Brian Seidman, New York, New York SEE ALSO:"WRIST WRAPS", below. CHIROPRACTOR RECOMMENDED: "New Grips offer patients a way to return to lifting weights while protecting and supporting the median nerve.

Bottom line - wearing new grips makes the workout easier, more enjoyable, and, as a result, more effective." Cecily Wang, MD Department of Surgery Union Memorial Hospital Baltimore, Maryland MEDICAL: "I am a serious weight lifter who was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists a year ago. I suffered through every work-out, forcing myself to continue lifting despite the pain. Newgrips changed everything! I am lifting heavier than I ever have and I am absolutely pain-free. Thanks for a fantastic product!" - Elisabeth Stebbins, Key Largo, FL "New Grips offer my carpal tunnel patients a way to return to body building while protecting and supporting the median nerve. This is a breakthrough." —Minga Guerrero, Chiropractor, Oregon "The gloves are great (for my carpal tunnel problem). I bench pressed the most weight I have ever been able to do the first time I used them." -Peter Salomon, Florida "Because I have Carpal Tunnel in both hands really bad, working out causes pain and numbness. New Grips help pad my thumb area, thus preventing that area further trauma. I love your product and will recommend it!" -Linda Harris, Uncasville, CT "Arthritis causes me great hand pain. NewGrips cushion and absorb weight bar pressure. No glove was able to help me workout. But, with Grips, everything is easier." —Hal Syfritt, California "NewGrips are all you said they are! My neuromuscular disease (non wheel chair MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY) causes my very "unmuscled" hands to feel pain from the weight on my hands. Your New Grips completely eliminate this problem. As a result, I'm able to crank out a couple more reps. Thanks a million, Alan! Your creation is the best!" - Conway Policastro, New Jersey "I absolutely LOVE the NewGrip. They are great and the ECZEMA on my hands has started to clear up!!! Thanks for a great product!!" -Mike Hubbard "Starting 3 months ago, after a few heavy reps, my fingers would go numb. Since using NewGrips I do my entire workout without any more numbness. —Doug Bennett, New York Numbness can be related to poor wrist positioning. Generally, the wrist should be held so that the hand is pretty much in line with the forearm. If your hand is bent upward from the forearm, the nerves can get pinched, causing numbness.

Read labels and stay away from such items for one month and see if you don't feel better. "I do not have any tendon pain in my wrists since a couple of months after I started using the NewGrips.

Hurdles, 1996 U.S. Olympic Team "Not only do they help me with my bench but I cleaned today also. They helped tremendously with cleans. I was so impressed. Thank you so much. I love these gloves." — JC, Idaho " I am getting on very well with the NewGrips, although I did find them a bit tricky at first. As they softened up with use, they are easier to use. It was difficult to adjust to having such a 'non-slip' grip - you get used to being able to slide your hands around the bar - for instance, during a'clean and press'. But I have persevered and I now find that the pain I was experiencing along the back of my left hand has disappeared. I was also delighted to find that I can lift heavier weights than before. And one other benefit is that when I wear the grips to do press-ups on the floor, my wrists and hands feel much more supported and comfortable!" - Linda Hazzard, England OSTEOPORSIS : "Your web site has been helpful already. I had severe hand and finger pain from lifting free weights in my osteoporosis prevention program. The web site gave me a lot of tips on how to treat the pain and prevent it (including releasing my death grip on the weights)! Fingers are feeling better from rest and heat. Will start again slowly with my new grips. I can feel that the padding on them will make a difference. Thanks again." Shirley Maguire, Michigan PARALLEL BAR DIPS: "The NewGrips are great! Really made a difference when I workout. Especially when I do parallel bar dips. I can concentrate more on my form as opposed to my grip." - Saul Mattos, New York "Gripping bars is no longer a question of squeezing till I'm blue in the face or hanging on for dear life! When performing dips I have previously suffered from a 'shaky' grip - now I feel at one with the dip bar, and am no longer hampered by my poor grip." - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England "I notice a huge difference with presses and bar dips. I've been using the NewGrips regularly because they save my hands. And I really noticed the difference when I decided to go to the gym without taking them. WOW was painful! I probably shorted myself about 4 reps for each set due to not being used to the pain after being used to the painless NewGrips. Well, needless to say, I'm bringing my NewGrips religiously after that experience. I'm amazed at how big a difference the neoprene makes. " - Grant Kono, Psychotherapist PERSONAL TRAINERS: "The Grip provides great relief of hand related pain. Saves and cushions hands were you need it most. Clients are very thankful for this product." —Melodie Janis, Nationally, ACE, and Senior Certified, West Palm Beach, FL "I train professional athletes with NewGrips. No athlete can afford calluses or a fresh blister caused by rough weight bars. Grips protect hands.

Needless to say, I felt something amiss…in fact, I almost felt naked without my Grips! Give your hands a treat and slip on a pair of Grips today and see how they revolutionize the way you feel about working out..." - Shawn Ooi, Los Angeles-based freelance personal trainer specializes in fitness, boxing and kick boxing. He has trained some of L.A.'s influential professionals as well as Hollywood's elite. Read his complete review of NewGrips here.

The grips solved that problem... they take the abuse and let me get on with the workout." -William Vitulli, NY "I was nervous whether the gloves could deliver what you advertised, as they seemed to be created from such a simple concept. I can already feel and see a difference. There is less pressure on my hands. My calluses are disappearing. Thank you," Aparna Gupta, Personal Trainer, Maryland "I am the Fitness Manager and a Personal Trainer of a health club. I love your product and can't use anything other then your Grips for my workouts; so I am buying a new set, and a spare set of hand pads. I am hooked. I tell my clients about them, and even let a few use them during sessions." - Matt Simpson-Weber, Club One, San Francisco PILATES: "I recommend them for Pilates - especially Advanced Cadillac work, and even the Reformer for people who need to reduce pressure on their hands and wrist." -Bette Lynn Steiner, Maryland "I use a Pilates machine which has a rope with pulley system and you use the machine mostly with your hands and powerhouse (abdominals). Your Grips are wonderful. I like that you can slip them off easily when you don't need them and the extra padding works much better than without. The straps are designed well and are so easy to put on, even with the limited mobility (arthritis) I was suffering from. They are an added benefit to my workout I will definitely recommend these wonders to anyone." -Robyn Talbott, California "At least 10 clients are now using NewGrips during their Pilates sessions. We all love your product. No more sore hands and weak grip which translates into more effect training." -Leah Sine, Pilates Instructor, www.PilatesEdgeUSA.com, Florida POWER LIFTING and Dead Lifting: "Without the padding Grips provide I wouldn't be able to use my full grip strength due to a "knot" in my right palm which doctors say is tendon injury damage from heavy lifting. With my hands protected with NewGrips, I can now deadlift up to my max, lower 500's. I would tell experienced lifters that the Grips provide good palm protection and do not make your hands as hot as gloves (which can be a real pain) but that chalk is still needed at higher weights. (Grips worked fine for everything but deadlifts, so, I set aside the wrist straps and slide the pads well up my wrists so that the padding ends at the bottom of my fingers; leaving my fingers and thumb with no protection (which only my palms need anyway.) Works fine." -Russell Rowls, Texas PULLING:see also LAT PULLS "During the year I have been training with NewGrips, my pulling strength has increased by about 3x, and my pulling endurance by about 6x. I credit the NewGrips with giving me the edge that allowed me to do the hard training that increased my strength & endurance." -Dale Elston, IBM Test Engineer, Austin, TX "I didn't know how well NewGrips would work for pulling. BUT, I like them. They force me to use more wrist strength instead of just raw pulling power, as with traditional straps, and I don't worry about dropping the weight anymore! I have been using Harbinger gloves that also act as straps, but I think I am going to like yours better. NewGrips have a LOT more cushion! I am a hardcore bodybuilder. NewGrips make my grip much more stable and secure. I'm glad I found them on the internet." -Kenneth Shepherd, Texas "NewGrips are really good... especially on those sets which requires "pulling" strength, such as chin ups, lats pull etc. The extra grip allows me to sneak in an additional one or two more reps. Also, during bench presses, the thicker wrist straps gave good support, giving me more confidence to concentrate on those reps." - Alex Leong, Singapore "NewGrips kick ass!! I had one of the best back workouts ever. I was better able to concentrate on pulling while my elbows and my hands were just latches holding the bar. Your product is well made and you obviously put a lot of time in creating them." -Sam Kim, Illinois PULL-UPS: "When I first received the new-grip I was hesitant to put it to use. I assumed that because of their simplicity they were unproductive. To my surprise they have improved my productivity in the pull-up exercise. I highly recommend them."

This helps them achieve greater goals."  —Fred Harvey, Sprints and Hurdles Coach University of Arizona "I can get a better grip, even on the pull-up bar, which is very important to me. Thank you for making my workouts more productive." —April Henderson, Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry University of California, Irvine   PUSH-UPS: "Push-ups are more comfortable, and the same applies for the benefits I think I get - form is better and thus the workout accomplishes more with less stress and strain." -Brian Siedman, NYC "Surprise to me, Grips help me do more push-ups. They are versatile." -Richard Seiwert, AZ REPS: "Players are able to get in more reps because of less hand pain. NewGrips deliver." —Mick Smith, NBA, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Orlando Magic "I got 3 extra reps and added 9 more pounds my first day thanks to NewGrips! My benching reached 278! I really broke through a plane that day.

The goal was 4-6 reps per set, but I could only manage 3-4 simply because I lost my grip, and the calluses on my hands were agony.

Your gloves are excellent." - Edward Mason, England RINGS / JEWELRY: ".Here's a "girlie" bonus: I can wear my wedding ring comfortably while wearing NewGrips which is something I couldn't do wearing gloves. My hands breath better as well. You have an outstanding product" - Stacy Bengochea, Indiana ROWING: "I rowed 31k over the weekend, and my hands are in great shape. The benefits are many. They make rowing more enjoyable as I am not tearing my hands to shreds. Grips allow me to work out harder and with better form because I am not fidgeting around or re-adjusting my grip all the time. They make work-outs more comfortable which allows me to get more out of them. And, unlike lifting straps, you cannot cheat on your grip, which means that you cannot cheat on the exercise. Even pushups are more comfortable. In short I accomplish more - with less stress and strain." —Brian Seidman, New York, New York SENIORS: "Your New Grip gloves provide comfort, flexibility and maximum protection for my hands while training. An impressive feature is that they are 'not bulky' which makes it easy to grip the bar. The short of it is, you should be proud of your fine product" -Gordon Borges, 75 years old "Mr. Fitness 101". Click here to visit his web site. "I am a 67 year old senior, train with light weights and spend 45 minutes a day on a Concept II rowing machine. Add to this 50 years of callus build up and you will appreciate when I say that after using NewGrips for less than two months my callouses are almost gone. You have indeed built a better mouse trap." -Herb Yager, California "Before your product I was avoiding anything that put strain on my finger joints. Since using NewGrips I have been able to increase my weight loads and reps. Weight lifting has never been easier at 67." -June Podzemny, Texas SHRUGS: "Grips really help out on shoulder shrugs. That's an exercise where using a proper grip is very important, and with the NewGrips I was able to increase the weight being lifted (by about 5 more lbs on each dumbell initially). Buying my second pair is a good deal because they endure." -Patrick Haley, Indiana SMITH MACHINE: " I have been having trouble with my right hand sliding away from my body when carrying out a bench press inside a Smith machine. As I have a weakness in the right shoulder this was causing me great concern. But once I since putting on my NewGrips there has been no movement in right hand and this was with an additional 22lb on the bar! New grips are excellent. The wrist supports are also of major benefit in keeping things aligned when lifting. There was a guy in the gym sweating like a hound wearing a pair of leather gloves, which I can only assume would require surgical removal after his session. Grips have been a great investment. If glove wearers had the opportunity to try these out you would clean up." -Jim Shields, England jim.shields@remploy.co.uk STATIC CONTRACTION: " I would like to thank you for these great Grips. They have made a tremendous difference when doing heavy static contraction exercises like bench press, and, whereas before, the pressure was quite painful on the hands, the grips now make it very comfortable, and allow me to concentrate on pushing even harder. In addition, the wrist straps fit beautifully and provide great support. Thank you once again for a product that really does the job it was designed to do. " Richard Brown, Australia STRENGTH & ENDURANCE: "With Grips I can lift harder and longer. My arms and upper body are more cut, probably due to improved technique enabled by your product. Now, I have to return those Saranac gloves to Big 5..." -Michael Shibata, California "Since training with NewGrips, my pulling strength has increased by about 3x, and my pulling endurance by about 6x. I credit NewGrips with giving me the edge to do that kind of hard training." —Dale Elson, Texas "Grips ARE GREAT. THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE WORKOUT I DEFINITELY FELT STRONGER. I WILL PASS YOUR NAME AROUND THE GYM. -Jeff Neuburger, Texas "I received New Grips about two weeks ago and am already noticing the difference to my lifting quality, duration and intensity. Superb idea and alternative to silly little gloves." - Chris Woolley, Cheshire, England TEENAGERS: "The grips help me with chin-ups and dips. My hands always hurt before (sometimes it would feel like the skin would just tear off) but with grips they feel much better. I am able to do more reps with the grips on.

My wrists have better support, which I feel allows me to perform the exercises more correctly and thus reduce strain." Bill Bohaboy WEAR & TEAR: "I am an avid user of New Grips. They work great. I am only slightly disappointed that one pad tore when I pulled it off the velcro, but I think my pads were about 2 years old, so I really can't complain. I can see that the stitching is very heavy duty, and I normally do not peel the pad off the velcro; overall I think the versatility is awesome. Back when I wore regular gloves, I would be lucky to get 3 months wear out of a pair before they started to tear or the fingers would start to roll down." - Kim Hynes, Oregon, Customer Operations, large retail accounts.

WEIGHT LOADS: "This is cutting edge technology, built for a really tough workout." -Tyrus Nelson, Nelsons Nautilus, Oregon City, OR "I HAVE INCREASED MY WEIGHT LOADS IN JUST THE THREE WEEKS I HAVE USED GRIPS.

It has allowed me to lift about 20% more in just about every routine over the past year since I started using them." -Richard D. Seiwert, Arizona "You are correct, Grips enable a better grip with an increased weight lift of some 30%. I am ordering 3 more pair for others." - Paul Bradshaw, England "I think NewGrips are absolutely brilliant. I've increased all my weights and can now do them more comfortably." - Sundip Thandi, England "Having used NewGrips for three weeks now, I can say with near certainty that this is the best glove/grip/strap product I have ever used for weight training. Being able to squeeze the bar to get that last little extra burst of power has been great, and the improved gripping strength has really helped my progress and kept my hands soreness-free." -Dan Radin, Massachucetts "My main concern was preventing the sweating associated with the conventional gloves and also the ease to which the gloves could be worn or removed. I read the customers comments and was skeptical at first, however, to my surprise, I too have added 10-15 pounds of weight the first day.. Also grip was no longer an issue and I could feel the contraction of each rep. Two words sums them up....totally awesome!" Jawaun Lewis, OKC, OK. WHEELCHAIR: "Grips work very well with a wheelchair. They make breaking painless and they're easy to get on and off. Also, they are much better than bike gloves for the above reasons and because Grips cover palms AND fingers. They're convenient to use when it gets warm." - Robert Coleman, California WRIST WRAPS: "Your wrist wraps add something important to the mix. There seems to be some psychological factor inherent to weight training about wrist wraps. I know that I feel stronger when I can snug up a strap. Others too have mentioned this factor." -John Nichols, Maryland "NewGrips are a vast improvement over the gloves and lifting straps that I've tried in the past - the benefits were evident from the first time I put them on... I love the product. I mean it - I'm so glad that I found you and NewGrips." -Tim Radle, Ohio "Your (NewGrip) wrists support straps force me to use more wrist strength instead of just raw pulling power, as with traditional lifting straps." -Kenneth Shepherd, Texas "Lastly and most importantly are the wrist straps. Having suffered wrist pain in many exercises- particularly preacher curls, so I invested in a pair of lifters straps. I found these difficult and time consuming to use, yet the simple straps included with NewGrips are far more effective. In the UK, standard gloves are typically £10-£15- and a pair of wrist straps £10, so consider yours a bargain at the price." - Mike Kaladeen, Oxford University, England WRISTS (pain): "It has now been two full weeks of using my Newgrips and my wrist is pain free. I will not forget to mention this to friends and fellow trainers." -Suzanne A., Georgia "NewGrips are unbeatable. They take the weight off my wrists and put it on the bar, where it should be. I got 3 extra reps and added 9 more pounds my first day thanks to NewGrips! My benching reached 278! I really broke through a plane that day. On another core move, the squat, I reached 430."  —Mark Landis, Tennessee "Been using Grips for 2 weeks now, and I have no more pain in my wrists. This is GREAT!!!" Danny Chesnut Centre, Alabama "Fatigue in my wrist is almost non-existent! They're truly an excellent product. A million times better than gloves or bare hands." -Chris Alexander, England Order Here Home| |About Us| |SiteMap| Copyright © 2002 - 2007Alan Trombetta All rights reserved.
