Nossa avaliação

The flagship A90 Grips are well reviewed for pulling work, but strict unused-only returns, buyer-paid return shipping and no stated warranty make ordering riskier than it should be.

A90 Grips

Como avaliamos cada produto

Angles90 is a small Italian fitness brand built around one idea: pulling handles that let your hands turn while you move. Its flagship A90 Grips are why most people search for an Angles90 review, so this one centers on them, then covers the rest of the catalog, the price, and the store's shipping and return terms. Our research drew on the two most detailed independent reviews of the grips, a broader brand overview, and the brand's own product and policy pages.

The short verdict

The A90 Grips make sense for people who do a lot of pull-ups, rows and cable pulls and want a neutral, rotating grip that fits in a jacket pocket. Fitnessdrum came away enthusiastic about them for back work, while Calisthenics Worldwide liked the shape but found the plastic slippery and the straps uncomfortable on pushing moves. If you mainly train calisthenics skills, or you already own gymnastic rings, you can probably skip them.

What is Angles90?

Angles90 sells strength-training accessories designed around the way wrists and forearms naturally rotate. Fitnessdrum's review names Simon Sparber as the founder and gives 2018 as the year the company started. The brand describes its grips as patented and engineered in Italy, and its homepage pitches the whole line as a way to ease joint strain while adding variety to pulling exercises (Angles90). Treat those as the company's claims: none of the reviews we read measured joint load, and the brand pages do not cite a study.

The catalog has grown well beyond one pair of handles. TechWizSpot's brand overview lists a cable pulley, bands for resistance and hip work, a sling trainer, ankle straps and a fillable "homemade weight" for people who do not own plates. That overview reads more like a catalog summary than an evaluation, so the rest of this review leans on the two sites that actually trained with the grips.

What are Angles90 grips and how do they work?

A90 Grips

The A90 Grips are two short, curved handles, each hanging from its own strap. You loop the straps over a pull-up bar, a cable hook, a rack or a tree branch, and because each handle swings and turns independently, your hands are free to move between palms-facing, palms-forward and palms-back positions. You can even switch mid-rep.

The brand's A90 Grips product page lists the pair at $34.99. They are always sold as a set of two, which matters if you are comparing them with single cable handles.

On load, Angles90 says each handle and strap is certified for 400 lbs (180 kg), or 800 lbs for the pair (Angles90 homepage). Fitnessdrum repeats the same per-handle figure and calls it more than enough for most users. For the vast majority of pull-up and row work, the straps are not going to be the limiting factor.

Physically, they are simple. Calisthenics Worldwide measured each handle at a 34mm girth at the center that tapers toward the ends. The body is plastic in bright orange, with black straps and a slot at each end that you wrap the strap around to shorten it.

The small diameter is part of the design. Fitnessdrum points out that the handle is thinner than a standard barbell, so you can close your fist fully around it, which is close to the opposite of what thick-grip tools such as Fat Gripz are made to do.

What reviewers found in use

The two independent reviews agree on the basics and split on how much the grips are worth to a given lifter.

Fitnessdrum's take is the warmer of the two. Its reviewers say the rotating handles let them concentrate on the working muscle rather than on shoulder, elbow or wrist discomfort, and that the grips became a regular part of their weekly training. They also liked how easily the pair travels and suggested personal trainers keep a set in their kit. Two caveats belong next to that praise: Fitnessdrum's review dates from December 2022 and quoted a euro price, and the page carries an affiliate disclosure and a discount code.

Calisthenics Worldwide, whose reviewer is a certified calisthenics coach, is more measured. The review praises the ergonomic, slightly bent shape and how well it sits in a closed fist while hanging, plus how easy the straps are to adjust for different bars. The complaints are specific:

The smooth plastic feels nice at first but gets slippery quickly, so for longer sessions the reviewer suggests liquid chalk or gloves.
The fixed ergonomic shape works against moves where your grip has to change during the rep, for example a back lever or skin-the-cat.
On pushing exercises like a chest press, the straps press into the knuckles, which makes the grips a poor fit for that half of a workout.

Calisthenics Worldwide's conclusion is that gymnastic rings do everything pull-up handles do and more, so the grips are a nice extra rather than an essential. That review also carries an affiliate disclosure.

Customer feedback is harder to weigh. TechWizSpot notes more than 1,200 reviews displayed on the Angles90 site and a 4.5 TrustScore on Trustpilot, but also that the Trustpilot sample is small next to the on-site count. Reviews hosted on a brand's own store are selected and displayed by that brand, so give them less weight than the independent write-ups.

Pros and cons

Pros

Rotating, independent handles let your wrists find their own angle on pull-ups, rows and cable pulls.
Small enough to throw in a gym bag and attach to almost any bar, rack or hook.
Adjustable straps make one pair work at many heights.
Both independent reviewers liked the ergonomic shape.

Cons

Smooth plastic can get slippery; chalk or gloves may be needed for long sessions.
Straps dig into the knuckles on pushing exercises.
Not suited to skills where your grip changes mid-movement.
Returns are only accepted for unused items, and you pay to ship them back.
No warranty is stated on the brand pages we read.

Other Angles90 products

Beyond the grips, the store sells a handful of accessories that are meant to work together, and the homepage promotes a limited A90 Camo edition of the grips that ships with a carry pouch (Angles90). None of the independent reviews evaluated these extras in any detail, so the notes below are limited to what the brand lists.

A90 Resistance Band

The A90 Resistance Band page lists it at $12.74 and bills it as premium rubber. It is the natural pairing if you want to use the grips for band rows or face pulls at home without a cable stack. No source among those we reviewed tested it, so its durability is an open question.

A90 Sling Trainer

The A90 Sling Trainer page lists it at $8.99 and stresses a compact design. At that price, read the listing closely to see exactly what is included before assuming it replaces a full suspension trainer. Like the band, it has no independent evaluation in our sources.

Promotional pricing and bundles come and go on the store, so check the product page on the day you buy.

Orders are usually dispatched within 1–2 business days, not counting weekends and holidays, and shipping costs are shown at checkout (Angles90 shipping policy). International orders go out on a Delivered At Place basis, which means the buyer covers whatever duties, taxes or handling charges their country adds. Calisthenics Worldwide confirms the grips ship worldwide from Italy, with cost and timing depending on distance, and Fitnessdrum warned US buyers that shipping and returns can take longer.

The return terms are where shoppers should slow down. Under the current Angles90 refund policy, you have 14 days from the delivery of your final item to ask for a return, but items must come back unused, in original packaging, and you arrange and pay for return shipping. You also have to contact the company first, because unannounced returns are refused, and the refund can be reduced for items that look used. In practice that means you cannot try the grips on a few workouts and then send them back. Fitnessdrum's older review mentions a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the policy page as it reads today says nothing of the kind, so do not count on it. EU and UK buyers keep their separate statutory cancellation rights.

Alternatives to Angles90 grips

Gymnastic rings. This is the alternative Calisthenics Worldwide pushes hardest. Rings also rotate freely, cover pushing and pulling, and handle skills like dips, muscle-ups and back levers that the A90 Grips cannot. The trade-off is bulk: rings take more setup and do not clip neatly onto a cable machine.

Fat Gripz. Fitnessdrum names these as a contrast rather than a direct rival. They wrap around a bar or dumbbell to make it thicker and harder to hold, which builds grip strength. The A90 Grips go the other way, making the handle easier to close around so your back and arms do the work.

Who should buy and who should skip

The A90 Grips suit lifters whose program leans heavily on pulling: pull-ups, chin-ups, rows, lat pulldowns and cable work. Both independent reviews say they feel good in that role, and the portability makes them handy for travel or outdoor bars.

Skip them if most of your training is pushing, if you are working on ring or bar skills that need a changing grip, or if you would rather spend a little more once on rings that cover everything. If you are still building a home setup, our FitTransformer review looks at a full digital home gym, and our DeerRun review covers walking pads for the cardio side. For recovery gear, the Sleefs compression sleeve review goes through sizing and returns in detail.

Is Angles90 worth it?

For a pulling-focused lifter, the A90 Grips are a reasonable buy: a modest price, a load rating far above body weight, and two independent reviewers who liked the shape. The weak points are real but narrow. The plastic can get slick, pushing work is uncomfortable, and rings remain the more versatile purchase for calisthenics. The bigger risk is the store policy: an unused-only return window and no stated warranty mean you should be fairly sure you want them before ordering, especially from outside the EU, where import charges may apply.

Our ratings

Overall: 3.5/5, because the flagship grips earn solid marks for pulling work from Fitnessdrum, while the strict unused-only returns, buyer-paid return shipping and the lack of a stated warranty make ordering riskier than it should be.
