Best fitness accessories you didn’t know you needed
When it comes to enhancing your workout routine, the right accessories can make all the difference. While equipment like dumbbells and treadmills are staples, there are other, often overlooked, tools that can elevate your fitness journey. Here are some top fitness accessories that you might not have considered but are essential for maximising your workouts.
In this guide, we’re revealing the best fitness accessories you didn’t know you needed—but once you try them, you won’t want to train without them!
If you lift weights, wrist wrap gloves are a must-have. These gloves provide grip support, wrist stability, and help prevent calluses. Look for options with sweat-wicking material and palm ventilation to stay dry and focused throughout your workout.
Often overlooked, grip strength plays a huge role in your overall performance. An adjustable grip trainer targets your hands and forearms, helping with everything from deadlifts to pull-ups. With adjustable tension, it’s perfect for progressive strength building.
A reliable yoga mat is foundational for various exercises, from yoga and Pilates to general floor workouts. The Reebok 4mm Yoga Mat offers a non-slip surface, ensuring stability during poses. For those seeking extra cushioning, the Adidas 10mm Thick Yoga Mat provides superior comfort and is crafted using 50% recycled materials, combining sustainability with functionality.
Whether you're a beginner or advanced yogi, yoga blocks and straps help improve your flexibility, posture, and alignment. They’re also great for stretching sessions before or after strength training.
Transporting your yoga mat can be cumbersome without the right bag. A dedicated yoga mat bag ensures your mat stays clean and is easy to carry. Browse options in the Yoga Accessories Collection to find a bag that suits your style and needs.
Mini resistance bands
Unlike full-sized bands, mini loop resistance bands are compact, portable, and perfect for glute activation, rehab exercises, or adding tension to bodyweight moves. Keep a set in your gym bag—they’re ideal for home or travel workouts too.
Pilates rings
For those looking to intensify their Pilates sessions, a Pilates ring offers resistance to target specific muscle groups. Incorporate it into your routine to challenge your core, arms, and legs. Check out the selection in the Yoga Accessories Collection.
Travel-friendly yoga mats
For fitness enthusiasts on the go, a portable yoga mat is essential. The Fitness Mad Studio Travel Yoga Mat is lightweight and foldable, making it perfect for travel or commuting to classes without compromising on comfort.

Recovery is key to consistent progress, and tools like foam rollers or massage balls can help reduce muscle soreness, increase blood flow, and improve flexibility. Use them post-workout or on rest days to stay on track.
Ankle and wrist weights
Adding resistance to your workouts can amplify results. The ankle and wrist training weights are versatile tools that can be incorporated into various exercises, enhancing strength and endurance.
