There are a few items that make the training go a little more comfortable:
Wrist wraps: can be boxing wraps or ace for keeping the kettlebell from moving on the back of the hand and when it did not land smoothly.
chalk: for sweaty hands, I personally need just a little, other bath in the stuff.
tape: 2" tape for hands when perform rep in the 100 plus range or GS training.
Weight belt: Once again, this is only need for high rep GS work or very have max attempt lifting. Make it a thick body building style leather belt.
timers: at least two types, a GymBoss or two and a count down timer. It keep everything honest.
Professional jump rope: for warming up.
Stretch bands or Lifeline bands: great warm up tools.
Abmat: if you are going to do a lot of situps, you should use this to save back.
Heart rate monitor: to monitor body response to training, especially for interval work sessions.
lifting straps: for heavy deadlifts and farmer walk training. Get good ones as they are not used that often.
Painters cotton gloves: cut the finger out and use for Kettlebell lifting if you have torn callous
Small bottle of bleach: if expose to others blood products.
Long socks: for doing deadlifts.
Small towels: to wipe up sweat.
wire brush: to clean off caked on chalk on bars and kettlebells.
Knee pads: for when doing a lot of TGU's and it will also keep knee warm for squats.
Chemical Ice packs: First aid for injury.
Journal: Keeping track of training as it is completed or making notes of things to remember.
Water bottles: quality, large open month water bottles to bring water in with your own taste. Less plastic for the landfill.
gym bag: I use a backpack because it has lots of compartments.
Wrestling shoes: for general training.
weightlifting shoes: for OL lifting and GS training. hard sole and good support.
Track running flats: for running sprints and any type of running crossfit type training.


Have a nice day suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
