If you're ready to add parallettes to your training but aren't sure which BARRIORZZ model fits you, you're not alone. The Go and the Pro are built for different priorities, and picking the right one comes down to how and where you actually train.
What both models have in common
Both the Parallettes Go and Parallettes Pro exist to solve the same core problem: they get your hands off the floor so you can go deeper into push-ups, hold cleaner L-sits, and build toward planche work without the wrist strain that comes with training flat on the ground.
Parallettes Go: built for training anywhere
The Go is the pick for anyone who wants parallettes that go with them — to the park, on a trip, or simply into a closet between sessions rather than taking up permanent floor space. It's the lighter, more portable option, which makes it especially popular with people who train in more than one location or don't have a dedicated home gym corner. If your training already moves around with you, the Go is built for exactly that kind of flexibility.
Parallettes Pro: built for maximum stability
The Pro takes the opposite priority: it's a solid steel construction designed to stay planted, with a wider base built for hand balancing and advanced static holds like planche progressions and freestanding handstand work. If you're training at home in a fixed spot and want the most stable base possible under load, especially as you progress into more advanced holds, the Pro is the stronger choice.
Which one should you buy first?
Choose the Go if portability matters to you, you train in multiple places, or you're just getting started and want a lower-commitment entry point.
Choose the Pro if you already have a dedicated training space at home and are working toward advanced static holds where maximum stability matters most.
Not sure yet? Start with the Go. It covers the same core movements — L-sits, push-up variations, early planche work — and you can always add the Pro later once you know exactly what your training space and goals look like.
Conclusion
Neither option is the "wrong" choice — it comes down to matching the equipment to how you actually train. If you value flexibility and portability, go with the Parallettes Go. If stability and a dedicated setup matter more, the Parallettes Pro is built for that. Either way, you're adding one of the most versatile tools in calisthenics to your training.
