Who These Gym Accessories Are For

These fitness accessories suit anyone who trains regularly and wants reliable kit that lasts. If you're tired of flimsy shakers that leak or bottles that don't keep up with your hydration needs, upgrading to purpose-built gear makes training more convenient.

From beginners setting up their first home gym to experienced lifters and boxers who need dependable equipment, our accessories range offers practical solutions. Whether you're meal prepping, training outdoors, or switching between different workout styles, having the right tools on hand keeps you prepared.

When to Use Gym Accessories

Shakers and bottles are daily essentials for anyone mixing protein shakes, pre-workout drinks, or simply staying on top of hydration throughout the day. Keep one in your gym bag, another at work, and a spare at home so you're always ready to mix and move.

Training accessories like boxing pads work best when incorporated into regular cardio or skill sessions. Towels are essential for every workout, whether you're lifting weights, hitting the bags, or running through circuits. The key is having kit that's ready when you are, no matter what your training looks like that day.

Gym Accessories Benefits

Convenience and Portability

Quality shakers and bottles let you mix and carry drinks without spills or mess. Leak-proof designs and easy-clean materials mean less fuss between sessions, so you can focus on training rather than cleaning up.

Durability for Daily Use

Gym accessories built from robust materials withstand regular use and washing. From metal shakers that last for years to towels that stay fresh after countless sessions, investing in quality kit means you won't need constant replacements.

Versatility Across Training Styles

Whether you're lifting, boxing, running, or mixing workout formats, these accessories adapt to different training needs. Boxing pads work for partner drills or solo technique practice, while water bottles suit everything from HIIT to steady-state cardio.

Hygiene and Organisation

Having dedicated gym towels and clean shakers keeps your kit hygienic and your routine organised. When everything has its place in your gym bag, you're less likely to forget essentials or turn up unprepared.

FAQs

What gym accessories do I actually need?

The essentials include a quality shaker for mixing protein or other supplements, a water bottle for hydration, and a gym towel. These three items cover the basics for most training styles.

Beyond that, it depends on your training. If you're into boxing or combat sports, pads become useful for partner work. If you're mixing multiple drinks throughout the day, having spare shakers saves time on washing.

What's the difference between plastic and metal shakers?

Plastic shakers are lightweight, affordable, and dishwasher-safe, making them ideal for daily use and easy replacement. They're transparent so you can see your drink mixing, and most feature measurement markings on the side.

Metal shakers offer superior durability and often include insulation to keep drinks cold for longer. They don't stain or retain odours like some plastics can over time, making them a good long-term investment if you use a shaker multiple times daily.

How do I choose the right water bottle size?

Consider how long your typical training session lasts and whether you'll have access to refills. For hour-long gym sessions, a 500-750ml bottle usually suffices. For longer workouts, outdoor training, or all-day hydration tracking, opt for 1 litre or larger.

Larger bottles mean fewer trips to the fountain but add weight to your bag. Many people keep different sizes for different purposes – a smaller one for quick sessions and a larger capacity bottle for endurance training or hot weather.

Are these accessories dishwasher safe?

Most plastic shakers and bottles are dishwasher safe, though checking the specific product details is always wise. Top-rack placement typically works best to avoid warping from high heat.

Metal shakers and insulated bottles often require hand washing to preserve the insulation properties and exterior finish. Regular cleaning prevents odour build-up regardless of washing method – rinse shakers immediately after use rather than letting residue dry.

How do boxing pads work for training?

Boxing pads are held by a training partner who calls out combinations whilst you throw punches at the pads. This develops accuracy, timing, speed, and cardiovascular fitness in a dynamic way that heavy bag work alone can't match.

They're particularly useful for learning proper technique, as the pad holder can adjust angles and provide immediate feedback. Even without formal boxing training, pad work makes an excellent high-intensity cardio session that engages your entire body.

Can I use gym towels for showering as well?

Hand towels like ours are designed primarily for wiping down during workouts – they're compact and quick-drying for convenience. Whilst you could use them after a shower, they're smaller than standard bath towels.

Many people keep a dedicated gym towel in their bag for training and bring a separate, larger towel if they plan to shower at the gym. This keeps things hygienic and means your workout towel stays dry and ready for your next session.

How often should I replace my shaker?

Plastic shakers typically last 6-12 months with regular use before showing signs of wear like cloudiness, odour retention, or degraded seals. If your shaker starts leaking or develops persistent smells despite thorough cleaning, it's time for a replacement.

Metal shakers can last several years if properly maintained. Replace them if the seal fails or if you notice any damage to the insulation. Having multiple shakers on rotation extends the lifespan of each one and ensures you've always got a clean one ready.

Who developed these gym accessories?

Myprotein's product development team designed these accessories with input from athletes and regular gym-goers. The focus was on creating durable, functional kit that solves real problems – like shakers that actually don't leak and bottles that fit in standard cup holders.

Each product goes through testing for durability and usability before launch. The goal is simple: reliable training accessories that do their job without fuss, so you can concentrate on your workout rather than your equipment.

What makes a good gym towel?

A good gym towel needs to be absorbent enough to handle sweat but compact enough to fit easily in a gym bag. Quick-drying material prevents that damp, musty smell that develops when towels sit in bags between sessions.

Durability matters too – gym towels get washed frequently, so they need to withstand regular machine washing without falling apart. Look for towels that maintain their absorbency and stay soft even after dozens of wash cycles.

Can I use these accessories for outdoor training?

Absolutely. Water bottles and shakers are particularly useful for outdoor sessions where facilities might be limited. A metal shaker with insulation keeps drinks cold even in warm weather, whilst a large-capacity water bottle reduces the need to find refill points mid-session.

Boxing pads work well for outdoor partner training in parks or gardens. Just ensure you've got adequate space and consider the weather – wet conditions can affect grip. A gym towel is essential for outdoor workouts since you won't have gym facilities nearby to freshen up.
