Block out unwanted distractions and increase focus by investing in a pair of durable, noise-cancelling headphones. These are key to keeping you in the zone in the gym. Every gym rat needs a decent pair of headphones.

A great tool for properly warming up the hips and glutes for leg day. Increase flexibility, get the correct muscles firing, and prime the body to maximize leg day with this band.

Many gyms are lacking in these attachments. These small straps easily fit into gym bags, and are a must-have when training glutes.
