Crossrope Get Lean Set Review: What You Get and Who It Is For

Updated: November 10, 2026 · By René Schmidt

On my German site I compare all Crossrope bundles side by side. This English page looks at one set only, the Get Lean Set, in more detail: what is in the box, what each rope is for, how sizing works and what you do not get. If you are still deciding between Get Lean and the heavier set, my Get Lean vs Get Strong comparison covers that question directly. For a look at the whole system, see my Crossrope review.

A note on my own background: I've been jumping rope since 2012, I train with Crossrope ropes, and I use the Crossrope AMP handles, which feel very grippy and stay easy to hold even when my hands are sweaty. Product facts on this page come from crossrope.com and are marked with the date I checked them.

What is in the box

According to Crossrope (checked on November 10, 2026), the Get Lean Set contains three parts: the Slim Handles, a 1/4 lb rope and a 1/2 lb rope. Handles and ropes are separate pieces. You connect a rope to the handles with the fast-clip system, and you can change ropes in the middle of a workout. Crossrope lists the set for indoor and outdoor use. US price on crossrope.com as of Nov 10, 2026: $129 for every size. Product page: ☞ Get Lean Set on crossrope.com.

The two ropes: when to use which

The idea behind two weights in one set is simple. A heavier rope moves a little slower and gives your hands clear feedback about where it is. That is why Crossrope says the 1/2 lb rope helps new jumpers find a rhythm. The 1/4 lb rope turns faster and asks for cleaner timing. A sensible way to use the set is to start each session with the 1/2 lb rope, then switch to the 1/4 lb rope for a few rounds when the basic jump feels relaxed.

Switching during a workout is one of the practical advantages of a clip system. You do not need a second pair of handles. If you want a structured session that changes ropes between rounds, my weighted jump rope workout shows one way to plan it.

Sizing: pick by height

Crossrope sizes the Get Lean Set by body height. Each size comes with a different rope length. This is the chart from the product page (checked on November 10, 2026):

Crossrope also mentions an XXS size with a 7'0" rope that is available through customer support. If you are tall or between two sizes, read my Crossrope sizing guide and, for very tall jumpers, the page on jump ropes for tall people.

What the set does not include

• No jump counter: the Slim Handles have no electronics. If you want counted jumps and app workouts with live tracking, look at the Crossrope AMP review.
• No heavy rope: the set stops at 1/2 lb. Heavier ropes are sold separately or come in the heavier sets.
• No mat: a mat is optional and depends on your surface. My jump rope mat review explains when it helps.

Warranty and returns

According to Crossrope (checked on November 10, 2026), the Slim Handles are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty on material and workmanship. The ropes are not covered, because they wear with use; how fast depends a lot on the surface. The refund policy page advertises a 60-day trial ("Try risk-free for 60 days") for physical products, with conditions explained on that page. For details, including international orders, see my page on Crossrope warranty and returns.

The videos below are from my German YouTube channel. Each video is in German, but easy to follow by watching, because the movements and the equipment speak for themselves.

Both videos are older recordings of Crossrope ropes from my channel. They are not a review of the current Get Lean Set.

Who the Get Lean Set is for, and who should skip it

A good fit: beginners and returners who want one quality system to grow with; people who mainly want cardio and rhythm work; anyone who likes the idea of two rope weights and the option to add more later with the same handles.

Better skip it: if you only want to try jumping rope for a few weeks, a simple rope is enough. If counted jumps and app tracking are the main reason to buy, a set with AMP handles fits better. If you already know you want a heavier rope for strength-focused work, compare the heavier set first.

The honest downsides

• Price: it costs clearly more than a basic PVC or beaded rope.
• Two ropes, one length: both ropes come in the length of your chosen size, so the size choice matters.
• Rope wear: ropes are wear parts and not covered by the warranty; rough concrete shortens their life.
• No tracking: without the AMP handles you count jumps yourself or with a timer.

Cheaper alternatives

To learn the basic jump, any well-fitting PVC or beaded rope works. I do not compare prices of other brands here. If you already own Crossrope handles, you do not need a new set: you can add a single rope from the ☞ Crossrope ropes collection. My page on replacement ropes explains how mixing ropes with one pair of handles works.

Bottom line

The Get Lean Set is a focused starter set: Slim Handles, a 1/4 lb and a 1/2 lb rope, clip system, no electronics and no membership needed. It suits beginners who want a durable system and may add ropes later. Choose the size carefully by height, start with the 1/2 lb rope and expect the ropes to wear over time.
