The high-intensity nature of CrossFit workouts combined with the variety of movements calls for some pretty solid workout gear. If you're new to CrossFit and you're wondering what to wear, we've got you covered from head to toe.
While any quality sports bra will offer support when running, jumping, or going upside down, the Pride T Chestee ($64) has extra padding above the breasts to prevent bruising from the barbell (it happens!).
Pair your sports bra with a lightweight tank top like this one from US Perform Mesh Tank from Reebok ($23). It's perfect for wiping the sweat off your face!
Keep your shins protected from rope climbs and box jump mishaps with a pair of good leggings. These 2XU Hi-Rise Compression Tights ($90) are made of fabric that's soft and breathable and wicks moisture perfectly so you'll feel dry even during the sweatiest WODs.
For hot and sweaty days, shorts are a must! These Lululemon Hotty Hot Shorts ($58) have a comfortable wide band, and they're super lightweight.
These Feetures Elite Light Cushion Socks ($16) are comfortable and designed to keep your feet cool and dry.
Always keep a pair of tall socks in your gym bag, so if you're wearing shorts or capris and rope climbs are scheduled in your workout, your shins will be protected! Try these fun striped CEP 80s Compression Socks ($60).
The right shoes are key for moving confidently, and these Nike Metcon 5s ($130) are a fave among CrossFit athletes. They offer stability, durability, and traction for speed and include Hyperlift inserts when hitting the barbell.
For CrossFit workouts that involve more than a few 50-meter sprints, keep a pair of supportive running shoes like these Brooks Ghost 11 sneakers ($120) in your gym bag.
