Grip Genie Grippers

Grip Genie’s numbered gripper set is a progressive crush-grip trainer: seven color-coded levels (GG1-GG7), each a pair of metal handles joined by a spring, stepping up 50 lbs of closing force at a time from 100 lbs (Silver) to 400 lbs (Grey). The catalog’s 1-6 set covers the 100-350 lb range (Silver through Gold); the top Grey level is sold separately. The manufacturer describes the construction as “lightweight but durable.”

Independent coverage is thin but consistent and specifically flattering on calibration: in a grip-community podcast discussion (This Week in Grip), reviewers single out how consistent Grip Genie’s resistance is level-to-level, contrasting it with the batch variability long associated with IronMind’s Captains of Crush (where, they note, “a #3 could be rated in the 130s or the 160s”). The same discussion calls the gripper line one of Grip Genie’s best-selling products, while flagging the springs as comparatively loose and the handle knurling as milder than some rival grippers. A YouTube tester working through Levels 2-4 found each step genuinely harder, closing the 250 lb Level 4 but noting it required real effort and rest between attempts. GymRadar’s own tracked rating sits at 4.89/5 across 6 reviews, including one owner of the #2-#4 set calling it “high quality and enjoyable to train with.”
