Q: What are the best gym accessories to buy in Canada right now?
A: Start with the essentials that show up in almost every workout — lifting wrist straps for grip, workout gloves for palm protection, a reliable protein shaker, and kinesiology tape for joint support. Below are five in-stock picks we ship same-day from Montreal.
Why gym accessories matter
The right accessories quietly remove the small frictions that hold a workout back. When your grip gives out before your back does on a heavy deadlift, a pair of lifting straps lets the target muscle keep working. When the bar or a machine handle bites into your palms, gloves add cushioning and traction so you can hold on longer. A leak-proof shaker means your protein or pre-workout is ready without clumps, and kinesiology tape gives joints a little extra support during training and recovery. None of these are expensive, and each one earns its place in a gym bag.

Quick buying guide
- Chasing a bigger deadlift or row? Straps first — the 24" Noble Strength lasso pair keeps your grip from being the weak link on heavy pulls.
- Hands taking a beating? The FITZOOM gloves cushion the palm and add traction; order S/M (pink) for smaller hands or L/XL (gray) for larger hands.
- Need supplements ready to go? Grab the Hydra Cup OG 20oz for portability, or the 28oz when you want a bigger serving and more water.
- Nagging joint or muscle you want to support? A roll of latex-free K-Tape is an inexpensive add-on for training and recovery.
- Building a starter kit? Straps + gloves + a shaker + a roll of tape covers grip, protection, nutrition and recovery for well under $70.
Frequently Asked Questions
What gym accessories do I actually need to start lifting?
For most people three items cover it: a shaker bottle for your protein or pre-workout, lifting straps or gloves for grip on heavier pulls, and kinesiology tape for joint support and recovery. Straps help most with deadlifts, rows and shrugs; gloves protect the palms and add grip; a shaker keeps supplements convenient. You can add each piece as your training progresses.
Lifting straps or gloves — which should I choose?
They solve different problems. Lifting straps (like the Noble Strength 24-inch pair) wrap the bar to take load off your grip, so they shine on heavy deadlifts, rows, shrugs, rack pulls and pull-downs where your grip fails before the target muscle. Gloves (like the FITZOOM pair) protect the palms from calluses and add cushioning and grip on dumbbells, machines and lighter work. Many lifters own both and use straps only on their heaviest pulling sets.
Are the Hydra Cup shakers dual-compartment?
These two Hydra Cup listings — the 20oz and the 28oz — are Hydra Cup's single-compartment OG shakers, each a durable BPA-free bottle with a stainless wire whisk mixing grid and a carry loop. Hydra Cup is best known for its patented dual-chamber bottles, but the 20oz and 28oz OG cups shown here are the classic single-chamber design. Choose the 20oz for portability and a single scoop, or the 28oz for larger servings and extra hydration.
What size gym gloves should I order?
The FITZOOM gloves come in two options: S/M in pink, sized for smaller hands and most women, and L/XL in gray, sized for larger hands and most men. Both share the same 3D-padded palm, liquid-silicone cushioning, anti-slip silicone strips, breathable mesh back, adjustable wrist strap and fingerless design. Pick the size band that matches your hand rather than the colour.
How does kinesiology tape (K-Tape) help, and is it latex-free?
Kinesiology tape is a stretchy, water-resistant athletic tape applied over muscles and joints to support movement and aid recovery without limiting range of motion. The roll we carry is latex-free and water-resistant, so it stays put through sweat and showers. It is commonly used around knees, shoulders, wrists and the lower back during training and recovery.
