At Moreau, every pair of hand grips is designed to meet the needs of gymnasts, from their very first apparatus to top-level competitions.
Comfort, safety and freedom of movement are at the heart of our designs. Our grips are made in France using professional-grade materials. They ensure optimal grip on the bars, rings or horizontal bar.
Whether you’re a beginner or already a regional champion, our grips are suitable for every level. Choose from a range of sizes, shapes and fastenings (Velcro or buckle straps) to suit your training. And to complement them, why not consider our gymnastics wristbands, designed for comfort and protection?
Why use a gymnastics grip?
If you practise gymnastics regularly, you’ll know that friction against the apparatus can quickly cause blisters, burns or grazes.
Gymnastics gloves are designed to protect your palms whilst optimising your grip. They quickly become a trusted accessory, an extension of your hand.
In clubs, they’re often recommended as soon as you start training on the uneven bars, the high bar or the rings.
Coaches include them in the compulsory kit as they allow you to train for longer without injury. And when it comes to style, they go perfectly with your favourite gymnastics leotard.

Choosing the right gym grip: our advice
Size: Choosing a grip that’s too big or too small can make your training uncomfortable or ineffective. Use our size guide for a perfect fit.
The fastening system: Velcro for young gymnasts just starting out, buckles for greater support and performance.
The level: some leotards are stiffer and suited to intensive training, whilst others are more flexible for beginners.
Coach’s tip: always store your leotards in a well-ventilated leotard bag to extend their lifespan!
And to complete your outfit, don’t forget a matching gym scrunchie – the essential style accessory for competitions and training sessions.
Gymnastics leotards: a gymnast’s pride and joy
Do you remember your first pair of leotards?
That little moment when your coach said to you: “You’re going to start on the bars.” It’s often a defining moment in a gymnast’s life.
Wearing leotards is also a way of affirming your commitment and your progress. It shows that you’re one of the ‘real’ ones – those who hang on, fall, get back up, and try again until they get the move right.
And at Moreau, we know just how much every detail counts.
That’s why our leotards are designed to stand the test of time, supporting you session after session, season after season. Because gymnastics is so much more than just a sport: it’s a passion, a discipline, a mindset.
FAQ: Everything you need to know about gymnastics leotards
At what age should you start wearing gymnastics gloves?
Generally speaking, from the age of 8–10, gymnasts can start using leotards, especially if they’re practising on apparatus. Clubs often recommend this as soon as you’re spending several hours a week training.
How should you look after your gym gloves?
Leave them to air-dry after each training session. Store them in a well-ventilated gymnastics bag. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or damp.
Which gloves should you choose when starting out?
Opt for soft, Velcro-fastening grips. They’re easy to put on and offer good comfort without being too stiff.
Do all female gymnasts wear leotards?
No, but the vast majority of female gymnasts use them, especially in competition. They’re virtually essential for training on the bars.
