Cool Gym Stuff: buying guide

What is in the range

  • Wrist wraps support the wrist joint on presses and overhead work.
  • Lifting straps help you hold the bar on heavy pulls when your grip tires first.
  • Squat wedge is a firm, adjustable incline you stand on to raise your heels for squats and other lower-body exercises.
  • Fitness tracker band records workouts and daily activity from your wrist.
  • Camping lantern is a rechargeable LED light for camping trips and outdoor training.

How to choose

For lifters: start with the problem you want to solve. If your wrists bend back on bench or overhead press, wrist wraps are the fix. If your grip fails before your back on deadlifts or rows, choose straps. A squat wedge suits lifters who want to practise raised-heel squats or find it hard to stay upright at depth, and it is lighter to carry than a weight plate.

For tracking: a fitness band suits people who want to log steps, workouts and sleep without a full smartwatch. Check the workout modes and water resistance rating if you swim.

As a gift: these are lower-cost add-ons that pair well with a tub of protein or a shaker.

Care tips

  • Air-dry wraps and straps after sweaty sessions and keep hook-and-loop closures fastened in your bag so they do not catch on clothing.
  • Wipe the squat wedge clean after use, especially if you train barefoot.
  • Charge electronics fully before first use and follow the charging instructions in the box.

Cool Gym Stuff: questions and answers

What is a squat wedge used for?
A squat wedge is an angled block you stand on so your heels sit higher than your toes. Lifters use it for raised-heel squats, goblet squats and similar lower-body exercises, often to stay more upright at depth. Ours is adjustable high-density foam, so you can change the incline. Start with a gentle angle and light weight while you get used to it.
Is the Smart Band 8 waterproof?
The Smart Band 8 is listed as water resistant to 50 metres, which suits swimming and wearing it in the rain or shower. Water resistance can reduce over time and with damage, so avoid hot water, saunas and pressing buttons underwater. Check the instructions in the box for the manufacturer's care guidance before swimming with it.
Do I need lifting straps?
Only if your grip gives out before the muscles you are trying to train. Straps help you hold heavy weights on deadlifts, rows and shrugs. Many lifters still train grip by doing lighter sets without straps and using them only for top sets. If you compete, check your federation's rules on straps before relying on them.
Are Supps247 wrist wraps sold as a pair?
You can choose. Our Wrist Wraps by Supps247 listing lets you buy a single wrap or a pair, so check the option you select before adding to cart. Most lifters wear one on each wrist for pressing. If you are replacing a lost or worn wrap, a single may be all you need. The adjustable closure suits a range of wrist sizes.
