Reason 1
Your hands were never the strong part.
Your core is doing the work. Your hands are just the contact point. When the contact point moves, everything above it has to chase it.
That is not a strength problem. It is a surface problem.
Reason 2
You are not holding back. You do not trust your hands.
Plank on the foot bar, one bead of sweat, and you shift your weight back a little. Not because you cannot hold it. Because you are not sure your hand will stay where you put it.
Count your re-grips next class.
Reason 3
Same plank. One difference.
Bare hand on the bar, then a gloved hand on the same bar. Same person, same plank. The only thing that changed is what is touching the bar.
That is the whole idea behind SoftGrip Pilates Gloves. Half finger. Silicone dots on the palm. 82% cotton stretch knit that is on in two seconds. One size, no velcro.

Reason 4
Grip socks for your hands.
You would not do a class in bare feet. You do it with bare hands every week. The dots on your socks are not decorative, and neither are the ones on the gloves.
Same idea as a tyre. It is not the rubber. It is the contact.
Reason 5
Strap moves, hand squeezes, focus goes.
When the strap shifts, you squeeze harder, and your attention leaves the movement.
They will not make class easier. They just take one thing off the list.
Bare hand vs SoftGrip
What your palm has to work with, with and without the dots.

A surface problem has a simple fix. Here is how ordering works.
New to rkkn? Here is everything in one place. What we make for the studio, why the gloves come in packs, how the ladder adds more as your bag grows, and the sets you can start from. Then pick your colours just below.

rkkn makes a small kit for the studio. Gloves for your hands, socks for your feet, and the extras that live in the same bag.

SoftSip bottle2Gloves come in packs
One pair works. Most people keep a second pair in the wash, so the gloves are sold in packs. The more pairs in a pack, the less each pair costs.
3Then the ladder kicks in
Every piece in your cart counts: gloves, socks, clips, the bottle, the cap. Each step up the ladder unlocks something, and the steps stack on top of the pack price.

The cart shows which step you are on and what the next one unlocks.

Half-finger pilates gloves with anti-slip grip technology, built for reformer, mat, and every sweaty in-between. The open-fingertip design keeps your hands agile, you can grip the straps, adjust the footbar, and tap your phone to check how many reps are actually left, without fumbling or peeling anything off.
Made from a soft cotton-polyester blend with a grip-dot surface across the palm and fingers. Breathable. Washable. Barely there, except when you need them most.
Sizing
Sizing
The gloves are 10cm (w) × 12cm (h) laid flat, with stretch knit that adapts to most women's hand sizes. If you have very small or narrow hands, don't worry, these will fit. If you have larger hands, the stretch accommodates well.
