Top 10 Christmas Gifts for the Crossfitters in Your Life

The Box is closed, so there will be no squats, no cleans, no deadlift. If you love a Crossfitter, do something incredible this year and buy them a gift that means they will be able to hit that holiday WOD.

Here are KITBOX’s top 10 suggestions for Christmas gifts for CrossFitters.

1. PurePharma-3

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, even on Christmas Day, and what breakfast would be complete without the full, original PurePharma range? Omega-3, ZMA and Vitamin D, all neatly packaged into 30 days-worth of single serving sachets. More than enough to carry your beloved over into the New Year.

2. Rehband Core Line Rich Froning RX Knee Sleeve

Opening gifts can be hard on the knees, but with these champ-inspired 3mm thick knee sleeves from Rehband, it’s all gravy. The 3mm Core Line are worn by four-time CrossFit Games champion Rich Froning, and are ideal for both heavy lifting and WODs.

Should the fact that both first place finishers at the 2015 Games were Reebok athletes, and that both second place finishers were Nike athletes, determine which of the two top players’ shoes you choose? No. They’re both great. The Crossfitter in your life is going to be thrilled with whichever you pick.

4. Barbell Apparel Jeans

Until very recently, CrossFit and jeans didn’t mix. Big quads, big butts, inflexible denim; it was all too much, meaning most just opted to live in sweats all day. That’s fine, since you never know when you might need to bust out into some burpees, but it’s nice to feel fancy every now and then. Barbell Apparel jeans are specifically designed to fit over, and move with, muscular legs.

5. 2XU Compression Tights

Alright, you’ve had your new jeans on for a while, and they’re great, but it’s time to hit that Christmas Day workout. The likelihood is that it’s going to involve a million air squats, so best to be prepared with these fetching compression tights from 2XU.
