How to Hang Gymnastic Rings at Home (Even If You Don’t Live in a Gym)

How to Hang Gymnastic Rings at Home (Even If You Don’t Live in a Gym)

May 29, 2025

Let’s be honest—there’s something kind of wild about gymnastic rings. They look simple, but once you hang them up, your home becomes a training playground. Whether you’re perfecting your L-sit, crushing dips, or just swinging like a forest monkey (respect), the where matters almost as much as the how.

So… how do you actually hang your rings at home?

We’ve got you.

1. The Classic Pull-Up Bar Setup

You already have a pull-up bar? Congrats—you’re halfway there.

Just loop the straps over the bar, adjust the height, and boom: you’re training.

This works best with stable wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted pull-up bars (no wobbly doorframe ones, please—we like your face intact).

Pro tip: Place the straps slightly wider than shoulder-width for better ring alignment. And yes, your pull-up bar just became way more versatile.

2. The Ceiling Hanger (And Yes, We’ve Got One)

Want a clean, permanent setup? Our MARMATI Ceiling Mount is your new best friend.

Install it in a concrete ceiling or solid beam, clip in your rings, and you’ve got a pro-level setup at home. Bonus: it doesn’t take up any floor space, and it’s strong enough for anything from rows to full-on muscle-ups (if your ceiling is high enough).

Important: Make sure the surface is sturdy, and use proper bolts. The ceiling shouldn’t be the thing that fails when you go full beast mode.

Door anchor for gymnastic rings

3. The Door Anchor Setup (AKA The Game Changer)

No bar? No drill? No problem. Our Airtime Gymnastic Rings come with a door anchor—a total game-changer for small spaces or travel workouts.

Just toss the anchor over a solid door, close it (pull side only), and your rings are ready. It’s TRX-style access, but with the extra magic of gymnastic rings. You can do rows, push-ups, core work—all without needing to build a home gym.

Note: Always test the door before trusting it. We’re about strength gains, not door repair bills.

4. Other Creative Anchoring Points

We’ve seen rings hung from:

  • Beams in attics or garages
  • Tree branches (yes, nature is the OG gym)
  • Outdoor workout stations or scaffolding
  • Stairwells or industrial railings
  • Basement pipes (only if they’re strong—don’t sue us)

Moral of the story: if it’s strong, stable, and high enough, it can probably hold your rings. Just always test safely before swinging around like Tarzan.

Rings Are Freedom—So Make Your Setup Work for You

What makes rings special isn’t just the exercises—it’s the freedom.

You don’t need a machine. You just need a place to hang.

From minimal indoor setups to wild outdoor workouts, gymnastic rings give you full-body power, mobility, and control—anywhere.

And with tools like our Ceiling Hanger and Door Anchor, every home can be a movement playground.
