Duvide designs, develops, and manufactures functional training equipment and workout programs/techniques. The company is based in Germany but also has an office in Thailand. Owner Frank Duvinage designs and develops all of the products himself. He started designing functional training equipment as a legionnaire first class in the French Foreign Legion and has been producing jump ropes for the past 20 years.
What make Duvide JumpRopes unique are their special double-swivel bearings system and a midsection that always keeps a perfect arch. The former affords the user different grips, which opens the door to a whole new world of skipping techniques and muscle groups one can train. The latter decreases missed jumps.
"Jumping rope is the perfect cardiovascular workout in that it provides a total body workout and you can do it no matter where you are," says Frank. "Most people usually think of jumping rope as a means of strengthening just their legs. But it can also be used to work the shoulders, arms, abs, glutes, and back."
