Crossrope Get Lean vs Get Strong (vs AMP): Which Set Is Right for You?

Updated: October 30, 2026 · By René Schmidt

The three sets side by side

All details according to Crossrope (product pages and FAQ on crossrope.com), checked on October 30, 2026. Handle weights are taken from Crossrope's FAQ specifications. Prices can change; the price at checkout applies.

What my own experience adds

I haven't systematically compared today's three sets, so I won't pretend to. What I can share is one data point from my own training: for years I used a single weighted Crossrope rope, a green one weighing 325 g (roughly 0.7 lb). That is an older model, and its weight sits between the 1/2 lb rope in Get Lean and the 1 lb rope in Get Strong and AMP.

When I started with it, I was worn out after about 10 minutes, even though I had been jumping regularly for years. That is why my own judgment is: if you are new to weighted ropes, don't start with the heaviest set just because it sounds more effective. That is my opinion from experience, not a rule from Crossrope.

Get Lean: who it's for

According to Crossrope, Get Lean is the lighter set built for cardio and endurance, and it is the set Crossrope recommends for beginners. You get Slim Handles plus a 1/4 lb and a 1/2 lb rope. Crossrope also says that a weighted rope like the 1/2 lb rope gives you more feedback than a standard PVC rope, which it says makes timing easier to learn.

Get Lean fits you if you are new to weighted ropes, want steady cardio sessions, or simply want to find out whether weighted ropes suit you before spending more. It is also the cheapest of the three. Here is the ☞ Get Lean Set on crossrope.com.

Get Strong: who it's for

According to Crossrope, Get Strong is aimed at strength, power and high-intensity conditioning. You get the heavier Power Handles plus a 1 lb and a 2 lb rope. That makes it a different kind of session than light-rope cardio, and that is the point of this set.

Get Strong fits you if you already jump comfortably, want short, hard sessions with heavy ropes, and don't mainly care about long cardio work. If that is you, see the ☞ Get Strong Set on crossrope.com.

AMP: who it's for

The AMP Set is Crossrope's connected option. According to Crossrope, the AMP Handles count your jumps via Bluetooth and work with the Crossrope app for guided workouts, adaptive targets and an AI coach. The set includes a 1/4 lb, a 1/2 lb and a 1 lb rope.

Those connected features require a membership. As listed on crossrope.com on October 30, 2026, Lite costs $4.99 per month (jump counting and a limited set of workouts), and Standard costs $99 for the first 12 months, then $119 per year or $14.99 per month (according to Crossrope, more than 3,000 workouts and over 50 programs). Without a membership, Crossrope says the AMP Handles work as standard weighted handles.

On warranty, Crossrope gives a lifetime warranty on the non-electronic parts and one year on the battery and electronics. An extended warranty can be bought within 60 days of purchase for 2 to 4 years of total coverage.

AMP fits you if numbers and guided programs keep you training and you are fine with an ongoing subscription. If you just want to jump, Get Lean gives you the same two lighter rope weights for less. Details are on the ☞ AMP Set page on crossrope.com.

Who should skip all three

• You only plan to jump occasionally. A basic rope is enough.
• Your ceiling is low. Crossrope recommends a ceiling at least about as high as your rope is long, and says most jumpers prefer at least 9 ft (2.75 m). Crossrope's own answer for tight spaces is its ropeless option.
• You are outside the US and would want free returns. According to Crossrope, free returns and exchanges apply to US customers only.

Honest downsides of the comparison

• Get Strong and Get Lean share no rope weights. If you buy one, you may later want a rope from the other.
• AMP adds ongoing membership costs if you want what makes it different.
• All ropes are wear parts and, according to Crossrope, not covered by the warranty.

Buying later: single ropes instead of a second set

You don't need a second set to change weights. According to Crossrope, the handles work across its rope lineup from the 1/4 lb rope up to the 2 lb rope, and the system can be expanded with ropes from 1 oz up to 5 lb. So a practical path is to start with Get Lean and add a single heavier rope later if you want one. Check the compatibility note on the product page before you order. The ☞ jump rope collection on crossrope.com lists the individual ropes.

Cheaper alternatives

If none of the sets fits your budget: a basic adjustable PVC rope is enough for regular training, and generic weighted ropes exist in lower price ranges. I haven't tested current budget models, so I don't name any. If you look at a generic weighted rope, check whether the weight sits in the rope or in the handles, and check the return terms.

My recommendation

For most people who ask me, the answer is Get Lean: it is the lighter start, the cheapest of the three, and you can add heavier ropes later. Get Strong is a deliberate choice for heavy-rope training, and AMP is a choice for people who want the app and the subscription that comes with it. Whichever you pick, check your size first in my Crossrope sizing guide, and if you are still deciding whether Crossrope is right for you at all, read my Crossrope review.
