How a tension gym works

Braced to your ceiling. Built to grow.

Tension-mounted. Zero holes.

A telescopic pole presses against the ceiling. No drilling, no bolts, no damage. Renters welcome.

Modular. Extend it, never replace it.

Model T3, then Spider V3, then Spider Max, then Mega Max. Add a set of monkey bars at each step.

“Their most used toy by FAR, like by a landslide. They use it every day for hours.”

Leisa L. · Mom of 3, three years in

“My husband rolled his eyes when I said I wanted one. Now he agrees it’s the best ‘thing’ we have ever purchased for our kids.”

Jennifer A. · Mom of 3

“As an early childhood special educator and mom, I wish I had this earlier. My kids, 7 and 9, still love this thing!”

Before you choose

The fit questions.

Still unsure? The 60-second quiz checks your exact ceiling.

What ceiling height do I need?

Tension gyms come in Short (6′9″ to 9′1″), Standard (7′8″ to 9′11″) and Tall (9′4″ to 10′6″). The Model T3 comes in Short and Standard.

Do I need to drill?

No. Tension gyms press between floor and ceiling and leave no holes. Renters welcome.

Which one should I start with?

Most families start with a Spider V3. Short on space or budget? A Model T3 grows into a Spider V3 when you add a set of monkey bars.

Can we add on later?

Yes. Every tension gym is modular: the Model T3 grows into a Spider V3, the Spider V3 into a Spider Max V3, and the Spider Max V3 into a Mega Max V3. You keep the gym you have and add to it.

How does it arrive, and how long does the build take?

It ships in several clearly marked boxes, like a Lego set. Two adults build it in 4 to 6 hours with the step-by-step videos in the free Brainrich app.

Kids were built to climb.

Give yours somewhere to go, every day, in the same room as you.
