About us | Forged in grit. Built by the community. – featuring RBST IRON X Pull-Up Grips
Our Story

Forged in grit.

Built by the community — RBST GEAR CO. started on the gym floor, not in a boardroom.

Quick Answer

Who we are: Two CrossFit coaches tired of overpriced gear that failed when sessions got serious. We build training tools for people who show up early, stay late, and keep pushing.

Why

The honey badger standard

R•BST is more than a logo. The honey badger mindset is simple: not perfect, not pretty — relentless. That is the bar for how we train and how we judge products.

Every product is tested in real workouts. If it does not hold up, we do not sell it.

Focus

What we focus on

Gear that performs

Built for pull-ups, lifts, metcons, and travel days — not shelf photos.

Prices that make sense

Aimed at athletes who already invest in coaching and memberships.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who started RBST GEAR CO.?

Two CrossFit coaches who wanted durable training gear at prices that make sense for real athletes.

Why the honey badger?

The honey badger mentality — show up, push through, refuse to quit — matches how we think about training and product standards.

Where are products tested?

In real workouts under training pressure. If gear does not hold up in use, it does not ship.

What does RBST focus on?

Performance gear, lasting quality, and pricing aimed at athletes who train hard — not boardroom hype.

Who is RBST for?

Early-morning grinders, after-work athletes, competitors, and anyone chasing steady improvement.

Is RBST only grips?

No. The lineup includes pull-up grips, wrist wraps, sweatbands, knee sleeves, lifting belts, jump ropes, backpacks, and more.

Where can I shop?

rbstgearco.com — collections for grips, sleeves, belts, ropes, and packs.

Do you work with gyms?

Yes — partner gym spotlights and community events are part of how we show up for affiliates.

Sizing help?

Use each product page size chart and related blog guides for belts, sleeves, and grips.

Warranty / issues?

Contact customer service through the site with order details if something fails in normal training use.

Shipping?

See current shipping details at checkout on rbstgearco.com.

International?

Availability depends on checkout options shown for your address.

Training advice on the blog?

Yes — gear guides, Open workout explainers, calculators, and partner gym stories.

Is this medical gear?

No. Training accessories only — not medical devices.

How do I join the community?

Train hard, share your work, and shop when you need gear that keeps up.

Product philosophy in one line?

Build gear that survives real sessions without charging luxury markups for the logo.

Favorite starter kit?

Many athletes start with grips or wraps, then add a belt or sleeves as lifts get heavy. See the grips guide.
