🎄 What Every CrossFit Athlete Needs for Christmas

CrossFit 271’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide

The holidays are here, and if you’re shopping for a CrossFit athlete — or you are the CrossFit athlete who wants to drop a hint — CrossFit 271 has you covered. From gear your coaches swear by to recovery tools your body will thank you for, here are nine things that should top your shopping list this Christmas.

🎁 1. AReady-for-Anything Speed Rope

At CrossFit 271, double-unders pop up often, and a great rope makes all the difference. Look for a high-quality speed rope with smooth bearings and an adjustable cable. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for athletes of all levels.

🎁 2. Wrist Wraps

We spend a lot of time with a barbell in the front rack or overhead, so solid wrist support is a game-changer. Wrist wraps can give that extra support and alleviate wrist pain.

🎁 3. Hand Grips &Thumb Tape

Pull-up bar volume is real at 271. Gymnastic grips help athletes protect their hands during pull-ups, toes-to-bar, and muscle-ups. Add some thumb tape for those snatches and cleans, and you’ve got a perfect practical gift bundle.

🎁 4. Knee Sleeves forSquats & Support

Whether it’s squat cycles or WODs with lots of pistols or lunges, knee sleeves offer warmth and support that keep athletes moving well. Every CrossFitter appreciates a good pair.

🎁 6. OlympicWeightlifting Shoes

A great choice for our heavy days and our Olympic Lifting classes!  Lifting shoes can elevate your performance with their harder soles for better stability and the elevated heel for solid depth. This is a premium gift that gets used weekly.

🎁 7. Mobility Tools(Because Recovery Is Training)

From foam rollers to massage guns to lacrosse balls, mobility tools help athletes stay healthy and ready for the next WOD. If someone at CrossFit 271 says “I really need to stretch more,” this is their gift.

🎁 8. A Fresh Pair ofCross-Training Shoes

CrossFit 271 programming tests everything: running, lifting, jumping, rope climbs, and more. A fresh pair of cross-training shoes keeps athletes stable, fast, and protected. Shoes wear down faster than people think — new ones can feel like a performance upgrade.
