Product Review: New Balance Performance Duffel (Logan Gelbrich)

Before now I’ve never really bought into the idea of using a gym bag. But it turns out the New Balance Performance Duffel bag was everything a guy would want out of a gym bag.

Product Review: Rage Leather Hand Grips

Need to protect your hands during a workout? One of the best tools on the market are the Rage Leather Hand Grips.

Product Review: Yurbuds – Ironman Inspire Earphones (Mindith Rahmat)

Getting fed up with earphones falling out of your ears and driving you crazy in a workout? Yurbuds earphones are a must have for any fitness enthusiast that loves to listen to music on the go.

Product Review: SPI Band (Logan Gelbrich)

If you’ve ever started off on a jog, hike, or workout with a handful of anything, the SPIband is for you. With the SPIband, there’s no more need for a cumbersome bag for small item storage.

Product Review: Rumble Roller (Becca Borawski)

Most of you have experienced the joys of foam rolling – now imagine you had a foam roller that could give you more benefit, in less time, AND last forever. Check out the Rumble Roller.

Product Review: 2XU Compression Gear (Logan Gelbrich)

The world of compression gear has become filled with numerous brands, but 2XU stands out as a quality brand that actually makes a difference in performance and recovery.

Product Review: Versa Gripps (Logan Gelbrich)

What it you could have weightlifting straps, wrist wraps, and gymnastic grips all in one piece of equipment? Try out Versa Gripps – great for pulling, pushing, and protecting the wrists and hands.

Product Review: RockTape and Rock Sauce (Becca Borawski)

Kinesiology taping first began as a way to promote healing from injury, but has since evolved to become a performance enhancing technique.

Product Review: Ultra Speed Cable Jump Ropes (Becca Borawski)

Over my six years of training in CrossFit I have tried out numerous types of jump ropes. The Ultra Speed Cable jump ropes are the best for double unders and easy to travel with.
