Available Sizes

30cm Gymnastics Bar Pad

The 30cm length is generally better suited to younger or smaller children. It provides targeted hip cushioning without covering an unnecessarily large section of the bar.

50cm Gymnastics Bar Pad

The 50cm length provides a wider padded area and may be more suitable for older or larger gymnasts. It can also be useful when greater coverage is required for another compatible bar or rail.

The best size will depend on the gymnast’s body size and the area requiring protection.

More Than Gymnastics Bar Padding

Although designed primarily as a gymnastics bar hip protector, this versatile wraparound pad may also be suitable for other round bars measuring approximately 4cm in diameter, including:

• Compatible barbells used for hip thrusts
• Small round rails
• Training bars
  

Always measure the bar’s diameter and the required coverage area before ordering.

A gymnastics bar hip pad creates a cushioned contact area around the horizontal bar. It helps soften accidental bumps and reduce discomfort when a gymnast’s hips make contact with the hard bar while learning or practicing skills.

The pad has a 4cm internal diameter and is designed for a snug fit on Gymnastics Direct bars. We recommend measuring the diameter of your bar before ordering.

The right length depends primarily on the gymnast’s size and the amount of coverage required:

• The 30cm pad is generally suited to younger or smaller children.
• The 50cm pad provides wider coverage for older or larger gymnasts.

If using the protector for another purpose, measure the section of the bar or rail you want to cover.

Yes. The pad wraps around the horizontal bar and fastens using a secure hook-and-loop closure. It can be quickly attached, repositioned or removed without permanently fixing it to the bar.

It may be suitable as hip thrust padding if the barbell measures approximately 4cm in diameter and the protector can be fastened securely. Barbell sizes vary, so measure yours before purchasing and check its suitability before exercise.

Yes, the pad may provide light cushioning around a compatible small round rail, pole or bar. The surface should measure approximately 4cm in diameter, and the pad must fit securely. It is not a substitute for full-size safety post padding in high-impact environments.

The pad offers additional cushioning but cannot prevent every injury. Children should use gymnastics equipment with suitable safety matting, appropriate supervision and instruction for their ability level.
