CrossFit Gear - MCF Top Picks

Do you even do CrossFit if you don't have gear? While I am joking when I say that, there are actually some pretty useful additives out there that will take your CrossFit game to the next level, and be worthwhile investments across the lifespan. These are in no particular order of importance, but listed as they came to my mind ☺️. I'll include links below. Check them out! 

GRIPS! If you've done anything on the rig, you know it can be tough on your hands! We recommend purchasing some kind of glove/grips! There are A LOT of options out there. Our team primarily uses a company called Victory Grips and particularly their tactical grips. Fingerless, 3-finger , 4-finger is up to you! We've got several different opinions on that one. They also provide our gym with a 10% discount; so, be sure to use that before you checkout!

Men's/Women's Endorphin Pro 2

NOBULL TRAINER+

 SHOES: There are a wide variety of shoes, and much of this category falls under personal preference. Both of these have become crowd pleasers here at our gym. If you're someone who wants to invest in a shoe that does most everything, go with the Trainer+. If you've got some extra finances, having a shoe particularly for running is a great choice for your feet (and subsequently your ankles, shins, knees, hips, etc.) . You'll want to bring these for WOD's that are primarily running or is a 2-part WOD, and you can change into a CrossFit shoe for the remainder/part B.  When you can, support your feet! They're the only ones you get : ). 

SWEAT BANDS: If you're doing it right, you get pretty sweaty doing CF at our gym. If you're Lee, you start sweating just walking into the gym : ). Some people enjoy having a towel, but these are simple to pull on and off, catch your sweat and then throw in the wash. Multiple colors to match all your gym outfits!

SWEAT BANDS

RPM ROPE

JUMP ROPE: Doubles get better with the RPM rope. While the ropes we've got here at the gym will do the trick, their spin isn't optimal. Also, you've probably whipped yourself enough times to know that rope length matters. These are adjustable to your exact height and preference, as well as, can be purchased with your particular goals in mind. A gift for yourself getting doubles can be purchasing your own rope :). 

2Pood Weightlifting Belt

BELT: We recommend using belts to support your back, not as a replacement for essential core strengthening exercises.  Your core strength should progress relative to the weight you're lifting, and a belt adds reassurance you've got the added support you desire to keep your back healthy! We like 2Pood and Rogue belts! If you didn't know it, we've got Rogue belts at the gym for athlete use. Using these will aid you in deciding if you need one of your own and navigating correct sizing!

BEAR KOMPLEX KNEE SLEEVES

KNEE SLEEVES: ​Knee sleeves are great for anyone who has joint pain from the various life things like playing sports, walking on concrete flooring for long hours, age, wear and tear from living an active lifestyle, injury, or illness. They provide support during lifts aiding appropriate joint movement while lifting. Also, fun fact - we use them during rope climbs to avoid rope burn on the ole' shins. So, even if you don't need them yet for lifitn you may buy a pair to share with a friend!
