These guys are great in a few different situations:

• Floor work: slap them on to stop scraping and scuffing your hands, especially on a prickly astroturf floor like ours.

• Pull movements: prevent friction callouses on handles and bars.

• Learning monkey bars: while you're still moving slowly, they stop the painful blisters that slow your progress down. Once you're flying across, you're better off with bare hands and real callouses, because fast movements can make them shift and feel uncomfortable.

Where your money goes: Slim Gym is a small local business, and every sale goes straight back into the people I support. It helped build the Gym Trailer, a mobile gym that means anyone can train, including people with physical disabilities, agoraphobia or anxiety who can't get to a regular gym. It also keeps things like DiscoAbility nights going, which I run because they matter, not because they make money.
