About us
train.VOLT makes gymnastic grips for CrossFit, chalk and chalkless
A UK brand making gymnastic grips, belts and training accessories for functional fitness. It started in a sauna, after a workout, with seven pairs of someone else's grips in a gym bag and not one of them working.

Two years of grips that did not work
The idea arrived in a sauna, after a session of bar muscle-ups and double unders. Our founder, George Jones, had stepped away from playing football at a high level and into CrossFit, and had spent two years looking for a grip that held.
Seven pairs lived in the gym bag. None of them performed the way they were supposed to.
All of them were bulky enough that between movements they ended up twisted round the back of the hand. A small problem, right up until it costs you seconds you cannot get back.
The UltraGrip+ was built to solve that one thing. It is still the product this business stands on, and roughly two thirds of everything we sell.
Our own technology
MagnaSafe™ is what sets us apart
An integrated magnet system holds your grips on your wrist between movements. No twisting, no wasting seconds. When transitions matter, they are exactly where you left them.
It is ours, and no other grip does it. It pairs with our magnet-compatible sweatbands, which is why they come in the box.

The VOLT Family
Community that does not stop at the walls of the box
VOLT represents what it truly means to be a CrossFitter.
More than a brand, a conduit for relentless athletes to connect under one flag, regardless of location.
CrossFit thrives locally, but it rarely extended beyond location, despite athletes across the UK training to the same standards and competing nationally. Finding equally driven people to train and compete with was hard if you were limited to your own box. VOLT was built to change that. Through the VOLT Athletes, the VOLT Family affiliate scheme and the events we host, community is now a core pillar of VOLT.
The grit of getting through a hard workout, the moments that aren't all smiles, and the relentless mentality required at every level of the sport, from Rookie to Elite. That's who we build for.
What we hold to
Our mission is to equip athletes with innovative, high-performance products while building a community, driven by energy, inclusivity, and relentless commitment to progress.
Inclusivity
In the gym, differences disappear. Someone new walks in, you invite them and throw down together.
Energy
The spark that sets everything in motion. Infectious, lifting the room, making CrossFit electric.
Unity
The fist pump at the end of a workout, the cheer from the sidelines. No one suffers alone.

Worked with VOLT for nearly a year and it's great to grow with a brand that I'm fully bought in to. Love their kit.
