The Best Gifts for CrossFitters (2025): Gift Ideas for Functional Fitness Fanatics

This quick and easy gift is a great option for any CrossFitter—we ALL need more blender bottles. Plus, this one has Rogue branding, so you’ll earn a ton of brownie points with your favorite CrossFit fanatic.

Show your CrossFit friend that you want them to nail their double-unders (and stop gabbing about them) with the WOD Nation Speed Rope, one of our top picks for CrossFit jump ropes. It’s inexpensive and comes with two cables and a carrying bag.

Every CrossFitter leaves sweat angels on the floor of the box every now and again. This Rogue Fitness sweat towel will be there for them when the WOD is done and they need to lap up their sweat.

Is your CrossFitter the local chalk monster? If so, gift them this liquid gym chalk, which (hopefully) will prevent a chalk cloud and subsequent mess mid-workout. One small drop keeps your hands dry and grippy for several sets of work.

Snatches and clean and jerks are common CrossFit movements, but they can tear up the thumbs, especially when using a hook grip. Lifting tape will help the CrossFitter in your life protect their skin from rips and tears.

Is there anything better than a post-WOD beer on a hot Saturday? Didn’t think so. Impress other CrossFit fans at the biannual box WOD-n-cookout with this knurled bottle opener from Rogue Fitness.

A CrossFitter might actually hate it if you give them a Rogue Echo Bike, which is exactly why you should do it if you have that kind of cash. They probably (almost definitely) need to work on that cardio fitness.

How to impress a CrossFitter 101: Know that Concept2 rowers are the standard and that fancy Peloton rower doesn’t mean jack to a CrossFit athlete. The Concept2 RowErg is the gift that keeps on giving (by improving fitness, of course).

The Titan X-3 Series Power Rack has everything a CrossFitter needs for CrossFitting: a 1,650-pound rackable weight capacity for a monstrous back squat PR, a pull-up bar, and plenty of options for attachments like a dip station.

You really can’t go wrong with the Nanos. A classic CrossFit training shoe—and one of the very first—CrossFit Nanos have proven time and again that they are versatile, comfortable, and durable.

Half of CrossFitters hate NOBULL shoes and half would die for NOBULL, so maybe inquire about the brand before clicking “add to cart.” If your CrossFitter does like NOBULL, they will remember this gift for a lifetime.

The Nike Romaleos 4 are some of the best weightlifting shoes on the market. They feature a wide, stable heel with an aggressive heel-to-toe drop, which is ideal for reaching full squat depth and nailing the receiving position during snatches and cleans.

Lululemon’s Power Stride Socks are great for any movement you might encounter during a CrossFit workout, from box jumps to running to lifting. These socks fit snugly around the midfoot and feature a tab to prevent rubbing at the heel.

FLEO shorts are a cult classic in the CrossFit community. The Signature Shorts True High Contour is a more modern take on the original booty short, featuring a high waistline in the same buttery smooth fabric CrossFitters have come to love.

The Bearbottom Atlas Shorts are a favorite among GGR staff thanks to their lightweight, flexible, and athletic fit. They are available in two inseam lengths—5.5 inches or 7 inches—and feature four-way stretch, a hidden drawcord, a zippered pocket, and phone pouches.

CrossFit requires a lot of power from the posterior chain for movements like deadlifts, snatches, and clean-and-jerks. If your CrossFitter is currently building out a home gym, a GHD is a great way to say, “Love you, work on your glutes.”

The Rogue Fitness P-4 Pull-Up System is the best pull-up bar for CrossFit home gyms if a rack-mounted pull-up bar is not an option. The larger dimensions of this bar leave plenty of space between the bar and the wall, so you can kip your pull-ups and toes-to-bar to your heart’s desire.

A plyo box is one of the least expensive home gym items for CrossFit, and it can improve performance in a big way. This 3-in-1 plyo box comes in three different sizes for CrossFitters of all levels and abilities.

A majority of CrossFit WODs include barbell work and you want something durable and lasting. The FringeSport Wonder Bar comes in 20-kilogram and 15-kilogram options (or, in CrossFit, dubbed the “men’s bar” and the “women’s bar”) and it’s designed to withstand heavy use.

Kettlebells also commonly make an appearance in CrossFit workouts. The GIANT V3 kettlebells are available in any weight you might need for the daily WOD. Plus, they’re powder-coated for grip and durability.

Used for wall-ball shots, weighted sit-ups, carries, and more, medicine balls are a must-have for CrossFit home gyms for functional training. We like the Rogue Medicine Balls because they have proven durable throughout years of testing and they’re available in several weight options.

Male CrossFit athletes typically use 50-pound dumbbells and female CrossFit athletes use 35-pound dumbbells for their WODs. A full set is never a bad idea for a home gym, though. The DMoose Dumbbells check all the boxes: reasonably priced, knurled handles, rubber-coated hex heads.

FringeSport Black Bumper Plates have a high Shore A Durometer rating, which means they have low bounce and high durability. The 10-pound plates in particular are thicker than other 10-pound bumpers, which is ideal for CrossFitters who cannot gently set down a bar with just 10s on it.

For the one time per year CrossFitters bench press (JK, we actually bench twice a year, give us some credit…), they’ll need a flat weight bench. We recommend the Titan Fitness Elite Series Flat Weight Bench because it’s versatile, comfortable, and durable with a grippy vinyl cover on the pad.

For workouts where a weighted vest is optional or encouraged, such as the famous Murph Memorial Day WOD, a TacTec Plate Carrier is a fantastic option. It features highly adjustable shoulder straps and is made out of military-grade Cordura fabric, so it’ll stand up to the test of time.

Whether your CrossFitter works out at home or at a local box, they can benefit from their own barbell collars. Not only are collars crucial for safety—they keep the plates from flying off of the bar—but a good pair can make a big difference in your overall workout score by making it easier to change weight.

This is an ideal gym bag for your loved one who also happens to be obsessed with CrossFit gear. The 5.11 RUSH 24 backpack can fit everything from hand grips, neoprene knee sleeves, lifter shoes, callus shavers, water bottles, and even a small foam roller. It’s perfect for organizing the gear a CrossFitter needs.

The 2POOD Straight Belt might be the most popular belt among CrossFitters. It’s strong enough to wear during max lifts, yet flexible enough to keep on during light barbell work, gymnastics, and other movements so you can complete mixed-modal WODs with ease.

No one wants their sweat to sting their eyes in the middle of a workout. JUNK headbands can help keep sweat from dripping down your face, and this one is Rogue-branded so any CrossFitter will be stoked about it.

Torn hands and CrossFit are synonymous, but you can help your CrossFitting friend stave off bad rips with the JerkFit WODies Gymnastics Grips. These are actually a two-in-one deal with a wrist wrap component in addition to hand protection.

For the data-obsessed CrossFitter, a Whoop Strap is the gift of a lifetime. This wearable fitness tracker records effort, recovery, sleep, stress, heart rate, and a number of other variables to help dial in training programs and nutrition strategies.

The Theragun Prime makes muscle recovery for CrossFitters easy: This handheld massage gun operates at a maximum of 2,400 percussions per minute with a total of five speed settings. It reaches 16 millimeters into muscle tissue, making it much like a deep-tissue massage.

For those who work out in a home gym, a gym speaker is a must. This portable JBL speaker is powerful for its small size, and it can easily be taken from the home gym to the beach or anywhere else. It’s waterproof, too, so no worries about slinging sweat around.

Street Parking programming has been a longtime favorite among CrossFitters who work out at home. It offers several tracks for different goals and equipment availability, and the workouts are an hour or less, so it’s great for busy people.

Train Hard was created by Jason Khalipa, former CrossFit Games athlete. The programming features CrossFit and bodybuilding tracks, along with an EMOM option for anyone who needs to get their workout done fast.

Chris Hinshaw is a CrossFit legend. This is the man you want to follow if you want to increase your cardiovascular fitness. A full-access membership gets you access to five Aerobic Capacity programs, private coaching videos from Hinshaw himself, more than 500 workouts, and other perks.

ButcherBox is the best way—and maybe the only way—to get meat and poultry of local butcher quality delivered straight to your door. There are multiple plans to choose from and members can tailor their boxes to their dietary preferences.

Does your CrossFitter spend too much time CrossFitting and not enough time cooking? Help them out with a subscription to Factor75, specifically the high-protein plan. This can help them meet nutrition targets and save time and energy while still enjoying yummy, wholesome meals.

Creatine is the most-studied supplement in the world, proven to increase power, strength, and muscular endurance. It may help with muscle recovery, too—all things that can and will benefit a CrossFit athlete. Nutricost creatine monohydrate is pure and inexpensive; you can’t go wrong with this.

A high-quality post-workout protein supplement is an important part of the daily life of a CrossFitter. Transparent Labs whey protein is third-party tested by independent labs and provides 28 grams of protein per serving. It’s also free from artificial sweeteners, flavors, and other artificial ingredients.

Avoiding dehydration is tough when you work out in a hot warehouse in the dead of summer. LMNT electrolyte powder can help. One packet contain 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, and 600 milligrams of magnesium for maintaining fluid balance in the body.

Cellucor C4 Energy Drinks have been in CrossFit gym coolers almost as long as CrossFit itself has been around. These drinks contain caffeine, beta-alanine, and betaine, three of the best pre-workout ingredients for improved performance.
