Gym Kit Essentials: Our Most Popular Products
Here at Kitbox, we spend a lot of our time sourcing the best products from the UK and beyond. Everything you'll find on our website can help you improve your health and athletic performance in one way or another.
But where should you start? Here's a guide to our most popular products.
Stance Socks
Stance socks have taken the community by storm over the past 12 months, so it’s hardly surprising to see them consistently feature in our most popular products. Over the past couple of months, we’ve brought in loads of new designs. If you need to up your sock game, these are for you.
JAW Grips
The JAW pullup grips are our most reviewed product - and it’s clear they’re one of the best loved, too:
“Have been struggling to find some decent hand protection for when Pull-ups and T2B crop up in our WODs. The new Jaw grips are very comfortable and give much more protection than anything else I tried, whilst also feeling as if they're not there when working out - they don't hamper your grip at all. So far so good after a week's use, with no tearing!”
David T.
“Lightweight, non-bulky and perfect fit for bar work (pull-ups, T2B etc) and flexible enough to be used for a whole WOD including barbells. They stretch so if they feel small at first, they will give. Great product.”
Sally C.
If you struggle with pullups, and you’re tired of constantly ripping your hands, you need a pair of these in your kit bag. They’ve been designed to cope with the demands of a tough WOD, without restricting movement.
Rehband Knee Sleeves
The Rehband knee sleeves are available in a variety of thicknesses, depending on whether you’ll want to use them for WODs, or just lifting. They’re designed to provide extra support and warmth, as well as stabilising the knee joint.
Inov8 Fastlifts
Weightlifting shoes have come a long way in the past few years, and there’s now a variety available to suit your needs. The Inov8 Fastlifts are a popular choice in most boxes, as they’ve been designed to cater specifically for those who need a versatile shoe. If you’re looking for a shoe that’s equally comfortable with WODs as it is on the lifting platform, these are for you.
2XU Compression Gear
What you wear when you’re training affects both performance and recovery. It’s not just about looking good (although we know that’s important too!) - the best clothing also has functional benefits.
The main benefits of compression clothing fall into two categories:
-
It improves performance by preventing muscle fatigue.
-
It speeds up recovery, reducing soreness, to get you back in the box ASAP.
It’s not just snake oil - and many studies have supported the use of compression clothing, which is thought to work by increasing the blood flow to your muscles.
We stock a few compression brands on Kitbox, with 2XU being the most popular.

Rocktape
Kinesiology tape has been a gym kit essential for a long time now. It provides support and stability to the muscles that need it most, without affecting mobility or range of motion. It can be used to support recovery from injury, to relieve pain, or to assist you in using your muscle groups more effectively.
Popular at competitions, this is one of the most popular products on our website - and is available in a range of designs.
PurePharma-3
PurePharma has been a favourite within the community ever since the brand was founded in 2009. Compared to many popular supplement manufacturers, their range is small - but powerful! They focus on the key deficiencies found in the typical Western diet.
PurePharma-3 zones in on 3 key deficiencies that could be affecting your health and athletic performance:
-
Omega-3

Vitamin D

Magnesium

If you’ve been to an event recently, you’ve probably already come across SGF speed ropes - even if you’ve never used them yourself.
Manufactured in the UK, these are our favourite ropes for dialling in our double unders. They’re made to order so, although you’ll need to wait 7 days for delivery, when they arrive they’ll be the perfect length for your height.
Barbell Apparel Jeans
A friend once told us we could have jeans or an ass, not both. We love to prove people wrong - so we decided to bring these Barbell Apparel jeans to the UK community. If you’ve ever tried to squeeze your quads into high street denim, you’ll understand why!
You no longer have to sacrifice your style, just because you love leg day. The jeans have been designed to perform as well as your gym kit - so you’ll look awesome, and still be comfortable.
