Best Gym Accessories & Lifting Gear

Belts, straps, bands, gloves — the small kit that keeps your form clean and your PRs climbing.

Accessories are where marginal gains hide. A stiff leather belt turns a heavy squat into a controlled brace. Wrist wraps save your bench PRs. Resistance bands keep training moving on travel days. We rank the accessories that survive years of chalk, sweat, and gym-floor abuse — no gimmicks, no gadget straps that snap in month two.

What to look for

  • Genuine leather or heavy-duty nylon on belts — never bonded material
  • IPF-legal thickness (10-13mm) if you plan to compete
  • Bands with layered latex, not single-layer rubber that snaps
  • Gloves with breathable palms and reinforced stitching at the knuckle
