Jump Rope Digest: August 2025 | #News

Hey Elite Jumps Family,

August was all about soaking up the last stretch of summer. Kids were still on vacation, the days were long and hot, and everyone seemed to be squeezing in a little more fun before routines shifted back to school and work. 

It was the kind of month that reminded us why jump rope fits so perfectly: easy to grab, fun to learn, and the best sidekick for movement wherever summer took you.

Lessons From the World Stage

Our CEO, Jordan Lindstrom, attended the American Jump Rope Championship and the IJRU World Championship for the first time and came back brimming with insights. From cheering on young athletes hitting triple unders to witnessing new world records, Jordan experienced the energy of the sport at every level. More importantly, he listened to athlete feedback, and those conversations are shaping how we’ll help grow the competitive side of jump rope.

As Jordan put it: 

“We’re all in on competitive jump rope here at Elite Jumps, and we’re going to look for ways to support the growth of the sport and teams—especially here in the USA.” Want the full recap of what he saw and learned?"

Beyond Fitness: The Real Power of Jump Rope

Jump rope isn’t just about burning calories; it’s about transformation. We’ve seen people fight addiction, push back against depression and anxiety, and build hope for a brighter future one skip at a time. The smiles say it all.

Our friend and partner Kyle, owner of Leaf Gym, recently traveled to Burundi on a mission trip, bringing a bunch of our jump rope components with him. The photos of local church members building their own ropes, jumping together, and finding joy reminded us why we do this.

Time to Dance (with a Rope)

We’ve covered the basics with progression series, freestyle tutorials, boxing-focused workouts, and even a full course on double unders inside the Elite Jumps App. Now we’re adding a new twist: a dance jump rope sequence with two choreographies you can learn and perform to your favorite tracks.
