Purpose
Through jump rope, play, and music, our goal is to spread joy and build community while improving your fitness and health.
Learning to jump rope can be scary. Nobody likes to look awkward. But with practice, effort, and good coaching, we’re confident you’ll pick it up in no time. Our YouTube tutorials can help.
If jumping isn’t in the cards for whatever reason, you’re in luck. Swinging a rope—without jumping—is still great exercise.
We give a skip! Since 2004, we’ve teamed up with countless charitable organizations to help make the world a better place.
There is no substitute for face-to-face gatherings. In New York City, we host weekly classes as well as the annual Punk Rope Games. We also offer corporate classes, double unders seminars, jump rope basics clinics, and individual and small group lessons. Holler for more info.

Everyone is welcome at Punk Rope.
Jump Ropes
Rated 5 out of 5 stars by the American Council on Exercise and Jump Rope Veteran.
Punk Rope jump ropes feature a 5mm PVC cord and 5-inch smooth-turning handles.
The cord is hefty enough to provide good sensory feedback, but light enough for speed jumpers.
Our colorful ropes are available in 5 sizes to accommodate jumpers up to 6’ 4”, but can be easily shortened via the included snap lock. They’re appropriate for all skill levels.

Your ropes turn like an out-of-control carousel....in other words GREAT!!!! Thank you so much for your great videos and great products.” —G. Rouse
