5 Gifts We Know Will Be on Every CrossFitter's Wish List

CrossFit Gift Guide

Shopping for a fitness fanatic can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you don't know much about their workout. Luckily, dietitian Julie Upton, MS, RD, of Appetite for Health, approached real-life CrossFit consumers to find out what they really want to find under their Christmas tree this year.

If you have a member of the CrossFit church on your holiday list, we asked coaches and members of CrossFit boxes what's on their wish lists. Here are the top five wish-list gifts.

1 Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance

Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance

Considered the "Bible" of mobility, this 400-page behemoth of a book is written by Dr. Kelly Starrett, a physical therapist and owner of San Francisco CrossFit. The book has descriptions and pictures to help athletes provide basic maintenance on themselves with foam rollers, balls, voodoo floss, and other gadgets to loosen tight muscles and tackle what may be contributing to restricted joint range-of-motion and injury.

3 Reebok CrossFit Nano 4.0

Reebok CrossFit Nano 4.0

The fourth-generation Nano is considered a multipurpose shoe for any CrossFit WOD — no matter the movement. It's stiff enough for Olympic lifting yet flexible enough for running and offers enough shock absorption for box jumps and double-unders. It also features a "cage" upper to protect it from rope climbs.

$120, Reebok.com

5 Rehband 7751 Camo Knee Support

Rehband 7751 Camo Knee Support
