All THE GEAR - WHat you need to start crossfit

Starting CrossFit can be exciting, and the gear can seem overwhelming at first! To help you out, we've categorized the essential CrossFit gear for beginners into must-haves and nice-to-haves:
Must-have:

• 1. CrossFit shoes: These shoes provide stability for weightlifting, lightweight for gymnastics movements, and good traction for jumping and changing directions.
  • Popular options: Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano, Strike MVMT Haze Trainers and NoBull.
    •      Note: We generally don’t recommend running shoes as your everyday workout shoes, as the extra cushioning tends to make them less-stable and make common movements more difficult; e.g. squatting, deadlift, etc.
• 2. Comfortable workout clothes: Choose breathable, sweat-wicking clothing that allows for full range of motion.

Nice-to-have:

1. Jump rope: A simple and effective tool for cardio and footwork drills. Popular options: Rogue, RPM, RX Smart gear.
2. Gymnastic Grips: Protect your hands from tears and calluses when performing gymnastics movements like pull-ups. There are a lot of options but we recommend Victory Grips. We have a discount code and size guide at the front desk.
3. Knee sleeves: Offer compression and warmth to your knees, especially helpful for squats, protection for your knees when performing lunges or burpees, and as additional leg protection in Rope Climbs.
