CrossFit Affiliate Equipment Guide - Garage Gym Reviews

Starting a CrossFit Affiliate can be costly and one of the most expensive parts is outfitting the equipment. This guide should help you determine the equipment you need along with the costs.

For more information, please visit our website.

So… You’ve decided to venture out on your own and start a CrossFit Affiliate.

You think you have what it takes and don’t mind living in a smelly gym, mopping floors, picking up equipment, and cleaning toilets.

Oh, you also get to teach people how to become healthier and live a better life.

One of the biggest obstacles you will face in the beginning is deciding what equipment to buy. Similar to those that are starting a garage gym, you have a million and one companies vying for your hard earned or hard qualified (face it, most people take out loans) dollars.

Well, let this be your guide.

I’m going to detail the top companies packages including details, specs, my opinions, and more.

But before I go through what companies have to offer, I’d like to go over some things you need to start.

Equipment Needed to Start a CrossFit Gym

Some gyms start with the bare minimum, while others come out with a bang. In my opinion it has a lot to do with your marketing strategy and long term view.

If you’re starting a gym and unsure whether you’ll make it, then you may not want to drop a lot of money.

But, if your feeling is that of a captain of a ship and you’ll ride that sucker through any storm till the walls fall on you, then you should start with equipment that is built to last.

That being said, you don’t have to start off with buying 5 Ski-Ergs and havingrecovery station with Normatec Boots and Marc-Pros. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (Seinfeld reference ???? )

But there are some essentials. My suggestion is to make sure you have any piece of equipment that could possible come up in the CrossFit open. Those are:

Pull Up Rig

I don’t know where the term “Rig” came about, but I really like it. Essentially, you need a big structure made up of metal uprights where you can do pull-ups, muscle-ups, squats, everything. And one of the most important features when purchasing a Pull Up Rig is to make sure its expandable. You don’t want to get a few years down the road and realize you’ve maxed out the most essential piece of equipment of a CrossFit Gym and have to sell it on Craigslist.

I’ll go through the various companies offerings, but you mainly want something that is sturdy, spacious enough for many stations, and has the ability for people to do rope climbs and muscle-ups if your facility accommodates that height.

Barbell

CrossFit programming has a lot of barbell work. Whether its squatting or pressing your members are going to expect barbells. And this is an area I would suggest not skimping out on. You don’t have to have a bunch of Eleiko Barbells, although that would be nice. But I would highly suggest going with manufacturer that has a lifetime warranty and you think will be around long enough to honor any warranties.

I see affiliates start out and just go for a local company, and I’m all for local businesses but what happens if you have a bunch of sleeves slide off your crossfit barbell and the company went under the week prior? You’re S.O.L my friend.

I do think it’s important to get women’s bars as well. It is something I’ve seen women leave a gym because of, and you want women at your gym. They build the gym more than anyone, because they talk about CrossFit more than anyone. Also, men will come if women are there.

Bumper Plates

Once again, get bumpers that last. They don’t have to be super thin, or nice and colorful, but they should be able to take the beating they inevitably will. In my opinion, a crumb rubber bumper such as Rogue Hi-Temps are your best bet when it comes to starting an affiliate. They aren’t the prettiest, but my goodness can those things get beat up and keep on trucking.

Also, the 10 pounder’s will last a long time too. If you aren’t aware of why this is important than you probably shouldn’t open a gym yet.

Flooring

Although this isn’t equipment, this is going to be very important. Rubber mats are the name of the game at CrossFit facilities and can run you a pretty penny depending on how you buy them.

My suggestion is if you don’t care too much how they look, run down to your local Tractor Supply and pick up some Horse Stall Mats. They’re what I personally use in my garage, run about $40 a sheet and will last you the life of your gym.

Medicine Balls

Wall balls show up in the CrossFit Open every year and are versatile piece of Equipment. At one time, your only option was to go with Dynamax Medicine Balls but for that past year or two, nearly every equipment manufacturer has started making their own that are as good, if not better than Dynamax. Just make sure you have a few of the 14 and 20 pounders as those are mostly what show up, and also throw in some 10 and 30 pounders for the weak and strong.

Jump Ropes

Buy some cheap jump ropes for the new people and those that forgot their own. Eventually just about everyone in your gym will have their own rope, but it’s nice to have some cheap ones in the beginning for those that are just beginning foundations classes.

Rowers

Yes, I think you need Rowers. Do you need a lot of them? No. But in my opinion you should have at least two. They have been used in the past two years of the CrossFit Open and are one of the best conditioning tools in my opinion.

There’s definitely some off brand rowers out there, but I would stick to the tried and true Concept 2 Rower. They’re built to last, and are the rower used in the CrossFit Games and Open. I don’t even know if you’d be able to use an off brand rower in the CrossFit Open as they would probably calculate mileage differently.

Plyo-Boxes

Box Jumps are a staple in CrossFit training. I’m big into DIY Equipment, however, I would not suggest making too much DIY Equipment for a commercial facility.

For legal reasons, if a box broke and hurt someone, I would want to point the finger at a large corporation for the faulty box, not your amateur wood working skills.

Be safe, and protect yourself against lawsuits.

Gymnastic Rings

In the beginning, you won’t have a lot of members who can do muscle-ups, but it will give them a goal to shoot for. And any respectable gym will have some rings hanging from the ceiling.

Don’t purchase the welded metal rings.

I repeat, DO NOT PURCHASE METAL GYMNASTIC RINGS.

They’re cool in theory, but they really just suck in real life applications. Get a couple sets of wood rings and make sure people chalk up before they use them and they will last you a good while.

Gym Timer

3.2.1. Go!!!

This will haunt your members nightmares and they will love it. Get a nice timer with good features and you won’t ever have to buy another. The main timers are MDUSA’s and Rogue. I would go with Rogue simply because MDUSA’s customer service pails in comparison to Rogues. You can find it here: Rogue Echo Gym Timer.

Barbell Collars

I personally don’t like using barbell collars all that often, but If I were running a facility I would make it a requirement. This is once again for legal reasons. The Rogue HG Collars are nice, I have a pair. But, OSO has come out with a collar and it is the absolute bees knees.

Climbing Rope

Rope climbs are awful and are certainly something your gym members will want to overcome. Go to your local Army Supply and purchase this. You can purchase them fromRogue here, but I think you’re paying more than you should.

Chalk

Buy a big box of chalk. Your members are going to run through it and will expect it to always be within arms length. It’s more important than water to some people. Rogue has a box here for about the same price as anywhere else.

And those are the basics.

There are some other things you’ll want to get as you grow, and I’ll detail those below with the different companies, but overall the above is what you need to get started.

Now that you’ve seen the basics. Let’s check out what the various companies have to offer and how they stack up.

CrossFit Equipment Company Packages

Expect to spend in the beginning any where from $20,000-$60,000+

Rogue Fitness

I’m going to start off with Rogue. Why? Because they’re the best. Bar none, Rogue Fitness is the best equipment and customer service in the industry.

But, that comes at a price.

Most of my personal Garage Gym is filled up with Rogue Equipment.

One of their biggest features is their lifetime warranty. You just can’t beat that. Especially when your user base will not care nearly as much as you do about the equipment.

I’m going to list their different features, but I would suggest giving them a call and explain what you’re looking for. They’ve outfitted thousands of gyms and would definitely be able to help you out.

(15) Abmat

(10) Concept 2 Model D with PM5 Rower

(1) Rogue Echo Gym Timer

This is going to give you just about everything you need and then some. I think this is a good, quick option, but some of the stuff I don’t think is needed. So I would simply order my own.

For a beginning facility I would order from Rogue:

(1) I-24 Infinity Rig – Now you can get pull-ups and squat racks with the same unit

(2) LB ROGUE Hi-TempBumper set for a total of LBS of Bumpers – You choose the weights you want up to LBS

(15) Ohio Bar – Black Zinc Shaft, Bright Zinc Sleeves – 28.5MM Bar with Dual Knurl – Guaranteed for Life!

(15) Games Multi Side Boxes with 20/24/30 Inch Sides

(15) Rogue SR-3 Speed Rope

This is going to cost you right around $19,000 with shipping. For the amount of equipment you’re getting, in my opinion this is a pretty good deal considering the warranty and customer service Rogue has.

I’d say this is the bare minimum equipment you would need to start and you could build from here without much replacement.

Fringe Sport

I like Fringe Sport. I think they are the best price point manufacturer. Is there equipment as good as Rogue’s? No, and they don’t claim it to be. But they make good equipment at a good price, and for some, that’s the perfect combination.

Fringe Sport has a package that tailors smaller gyms but can be increased depending on your size. Once again for specific questions, just give them a call.

Fringe Sport’s Silver level package consists of the following:

BARS

15x Bomba Men’s Bar (28.5mm)

2x Bomba Women’s BarV2

Zechen Fitness supply professional and honest service.

ABMATS

15x Abmat

ROWERS

5x Concept 2 Model D w/PM3 Monitor

If you want to add a rig, you will have to do so here:

Fringe Bomba Rig

In my opinion, there’s a lot of stuff in this list that I don’t think you need. Compare it to my Rogue modified list to remove what you don’t need and add what you do need.

In my estimates it would be about $5,000 less than Rogue Fitness for a similar package.

Again Faster

Again Faster was at one time a big competitor to Rogue. Since then, they’ve fallen off a little but they still produce some good equipment.

Again Faster does not have any pre-built packages.

They do make good equipment for affiliates and have a price point between Fringe Sport and Rogue Fitness.

Some top CrossFit Affiliates utilize Again Faster for their equipment so they must be good enough to survive the abuse of a lot of traffic. Once such gym is Reebok CrossFit One.

Their rigs especially intrigue me because of their pullup bars. They use a Zinc coating and you can see my review of their Home Pullup Bar that utilizes the same coating here.

Get Rx’d

I haven’t used a ton of Get Rx’d Equipment, but have used their barbells. They’re okay, not my personal favorite, but would work well in an affiliate setting. I may have just been spoiled by my Eleiko.

Their 15 at a time affiliate package consists of:

Stations:
– 44′ CrossRig SINGLE Bar (36 Pull-up Stations a& 10 Racks)
– (8) 1pc Squat Racks
– (10) Power Flat Benches
– (6) Linear Bearing GHDs
– (3) Olympic Bar Rack: 9 Bar Holder

Weightlifting
– # Premium Bumper Set:
(20) 10#, 25#, 45# and (8) 15# and 35#
– (15) Men’s + (5) Women’s WOD Bar 5.0 Hard Chrome
– (5) Training Bars
– 50 Spring Collars
– (5) 53#, (1) 44#, (4) 35#, (2) 26# Premium Kettlebells

Conditioning
– (6) 20#, (6) 14#, and (3) 10# Premium Wall Balls
– (2) 30#, (4) 25#, and (4) 15# Slam Balls
– (15) 3-n-1 20x24x30 Wood Plyo Box
– (15) Ez Speed Ropes
– (10) Xebex Fitness Rowers
– (5) EZ Gym Sleds – (5) Power Sleds

Gymnastics:
(15) 1.25 Wood Rings
– (5) 23′ Manila Climbing Rope
– (15) Back Support Pads
– (1) No Limits Timer

This once again has a lot of things that I don’t think are needed. Compare it to my revised Rogue list to compare the price.

For a comparable list of equipment to Rogue, Get Rx’d will be about $5,000 less and hits a similar price point as Fringe Sport.

Most of their equipment is made in China and source back to the US, but that doesn’t mean bad equipment, just cheaply made.

You can find the Get Rx’d 15 Delta Package Here.

Maverick Athletic Company

Maverick Athletic Company is very similar to Get Rx’d. In fact, I would bet they use the same manufacturer for their equipment and just slap their logo on it.

Maverick’s Elite 15 Affiliate Package includes:

1 44’ Free Standing Rig with 10 Rack Stations

8 Maverick SR-1 Squat Rack

6 Maverick Glute Ham Developer

10 Powermax Flat Bench

6 Maverick Push Pull Wheelbarrow Sled

15 Powermax Oly Bar 28mm 20kg Chrome LIFETIME WARRANTY

5 Powermax Oly Bar 25mm 15kg Chrome LIFETIME WARRANTY

5 15lb Aluminum Training Bar

20 Muscle Clamps

6 Cast Iron KB 35lb

6 Cast Iron KB 55lb

4 Cast Iron KB 70lb

5 1lb Boxes of Chalk

3 Vertical Bar Storage Holds 10 Bars

8 Rolling Plate Storage

There’s lots of filler items here, per usual. Their pricing is very similar to Get RX’d, surprise, surprise.

The package listed above can be found here.

Hammerhead Strength Equipment

Hammerhead is once again like Get Rx’d and Maverick in that I believe their equipment is on a similar level, and so is their pricing.

Their Gold Level Package that is designed for 10-13 athletes includes:

  • 1 – 6 Pole Wall Mounted Pull Up Rig – Easily fits 13+ Athletes for Pullups, Toes to Bar, Ring work, etc. and has 3 Squat Stations
  • 1 – Hammerhead 6 Digit Programmable Wall Timer
  • 6 – Hammerhead 20KG Men’s Bars – 28.5MM shaft, no center knurling, bronze bushings
  • 4 – Hammerhead 15GK Ladies Bars – 25MM shaft, no center knurling, bronze bushings
  • 3 – Hammerhead Training Bars – 15LB – 25MM aluminum shaft
  • 13 – Spring Collars
  • Up to 208lbs* of Dynamax Medicine Balls – You Choose the Sizes or go with our Picks – 4-8lb/4-10lb/4-14lb/4-20lb
  • Up to 800lbs* of Hammerhead Classic Kettlebells – You Choose the Sizes
  • Up to lbs* of Hammerhead Bumper Plates – You Choose the Sizes
  • 10 – Sets of Hammerhead Wood Gymnastics Rings and straps
  • 2 – Resistance Band Athletic Packs [4 of each size Resistance Band]
  • 1 – Set of Steel Weight Plates 20-5lb and 20-2.5lb
  • 13 – Abmats
  • 13 – Cable Jump Ropes
  • 6 – Plyo Boxes – Our popular 20x24x30
  • 7 – Plyo Boxes – The latest addition to our lineup, the 16x20x24.
  • 4 – Climbing Ropes – 1-1/2″ Manilla by up to 15 feet long. Spliced on one end and an eye loop in the other.
  • 2 – Vertical Bar Storage Units that hold 12 bars each
  • 8 – Vertical Bumper Plate Storage Units with Casters – keep your bumpers sorted well and mobile.

I have never used any of Hammerhead’s Equipment. But, if their price is better than Get Rx’d and Maverick, they’re certainly a good option.

The package listed above can be found here.

Rep Fitness

I think Rep Fitness has some good equipment. Specifically I’ve seen some good things said about their barbells.

Their 15 person Affiliate Package for CrossFit includes:

lbs of Rep Black Bumper Plates – choose the weights you want
(10) Rep Gladiator Bars – 20kg
(5) Rep Sabre Bars – 20kg
(2) Rep Sabre Bars – 15kg – 25mm women’s bar
(5) Rep 15 lb Technique Bar
(20) Sets of Spring Collars
(1) 224 kg Rep Kettlebell Set – choose your own sizes up to 224 kg
(15) Rep Wall Balls – choose the weight up to 20lbs
(8) Sets of Rep Wood Rings
(10) Rep 3-in-1 Plyo Boxes – 30″x24″x20″
(5) Rep Squat Stand
(5) Rep or Rage Flat Bench
(10) Rep Slingshot Jump Rope
(10) Rep Ab Support Mat
(8) Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine
(1) Rep Timer – 6-digit programmable interval timer with 4″ LED numbers

This set is ~ $20,000 and has a lot of your essentials. Out of all the pre-built packages, this one seems the most thought out.

You can find the Rep Fitness 15 Person Affiliate Package for CrossFit here.

The companies listed above are really the ones I would focus on. There are certainly many others, but these are the top of the bunch.

Extra Equipment for a CrossFit Affiliate

Now I’ve listed the essentials, but I’d like to discuss some of the extra equipment that can give you a competitive advantage against other gyms in your area and really make you look like a premier facility.

  • GHD

You will eventually buck up and buy some GHD’s. They aren’t essential, but they sure are nice to have and there isn’t one much better than the Rogue Abram GHD 2.0.

This GHD is stout, and will last the life of your facility. Many members will after getting into CrossFit for a while and binge watching YouTube videos will wonder why their gym doesn’t have them.

At that point you will need to purchase them, but I don’t think you will from the beginning.

  • Kettlebells

Many of the CrossFit Girls workouts utilize kettlebells. The price for them can add up quick, but I enjoy using them and I know many others do as well. Buy a few of the most used weights and add as you go.

I like theRogue Kettlebell because it’s a basic kettlebell that is priced well and has a great warranty.

  • Weightlifting Platform

Your members will eventually get very into weightlifting and you may want to set up a barbell club. I suggest making your own (check out my DIY Weightlifting Platform here) but if you’d like to buy one, Rogue has a pretty one here.

  • Dumbbells

If you have a strength focused gym, or plan on doing dumbbell snatches a good set of dumbbells can be very attractive to potential clients.

I would first check craigslist to see what you can get used.

Otherwise, Rogue has a good option here, although a bit pricey.

  • Slamballs/Atlas Stones

These can be a very fun training tool. I made my own that you can see here, but I would suggest purchasing your own so they will last longer.

Rogue’s can be found here.

  • Concept 2 Ski-Erg

These are awesome conditioning pieces of equipment. If you have regional level competitors, I think you should invest in at least one of these to keep them around.

You can order them here.

  • Parallettes

Parallettes are great for L-sits and deficit hand stands. I don’t think you need a lot of them and you can always make your own out of PVC pipe. But, protect yourself and just buy them.

You can order Parallettes from Rogue here.

  • AbMat

Nobody likes monkey butt. Buy some Ab mats for your members. They’re cheap and are great for sit ups or using as a knee rest.

You can find the Abmat Pro from Rogue here.

  • Sleds

Have some masochists at your gym? Get them some sleds. These will take a beating and keep on going.

You can find the Rogue S-25 Fat Boy Sled here.

Final Thoughts

So there you have it. The complete guide to CrossFit Facility Outfitting. I will update this as new equipment comes out. But for the most part, the basics will stay the same. My advice is always, “if you’re going to buy something, buy it once.” Good luck growing your facility and feel free to comment with any questions or inquiries.

Metal Warehouse: How To Build A Crossfit Gym

Let’s start from the beginning. Most people know what kind of high-intensity fitness training we are talking about here. If you don’t know, don’t worry, as we are here to help you understand a little better.

Here is the technical explanation of Crossfit quoted from Nerdfitness.com “CrossFit is a training program that builds strength and conditioning through extremely varied and challenging workouts. Each day the workout will test a different part of your functional strength or conditioning, not specializing in one particular thing, but rather to build a body that’s capable of practically anything and everything”.

Now you know a little bit more in-depth explanation about this great workout. But if you are still wondering why you should do it, this is why.

Crossfit is undoubtedly an excellent workout for the regular person. You don’t have to be good at anything in particular. The training is designed to adapt to anyone willing to do the workout, at any age, shape, or form.

The number one thing you need the most when selecting this sport is commitment!

Crossfit is the kind of training that should be done at least 5x a week for you to see faster progress. Don’t want to do it that much? Don’t worry! You can still see results if you limit doing Crossfit 2-3 times a week. Honestly, after you start, you might become addicted and want to go every day anyways.

This training will fit you individually if you enjoy getting a good sweat while doing a lot of weight lifting.

 Although all programs can be adapted for those who cannot do specific movements (ex. can’t do squats, or lift past a certain weight), the workout remains as close to the original version as possible, while still being adaptable to those with certain restrictions.

We understand that Crossfit is a great workout, but might not be for everyone. If you enjoy more of a calmer, less weight lifting focused workout like Pilates or yoga. We wouldn’t suggest it for you.

Benefits

Now let us tell you a bit about the benefit of doing this workout.

CrossFit training goes beyond working out your physical and mental health. According to Healthline.com “It improves your physical strength, aerobic fitness, agility, balance, flexibility as well as burn tons of calories and manages weight loss.”

CrossFit contends that a person is as fit as they are proficient in each of ten general physical skills: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy. (Crossfit.com)

It also helps that most times the workouts are not very long. This is beneficial for anyone with a busy schedule. All you have to do is show up and get a great workout before heading off to your next destination.

Here are three major things you will need before you open up your gym to the public:

1. Equipment

When thinking of specific items you will need for your gym, you might want to include these items listed in priority order: Olympic barbell, plates/weights, pullup bar, kettlebells, squat rack, box, medicine ball, dumbbells, etc..

Always invest in quality equipment to avoid faulty items, and having to buy over and over again, equipment that ends up breaking after short usage.

Remember, quality over quantity.

Although Crossfit equipment can be very pricey, take in consideration that Crossfit memberships can average between $150-$300. The memberships will make up for your investments. We firmly believe you will get back all the money you invest.

There are so many different items you can buy. Understanding what is essential for your gym is ideal if trying to keep it on a budget. Different training goals and programs might need more of one equipment than the other.

It’s also essential to understand the average amount of people that will be attending each session. Knowing that will help you get the proper amount of training equipment, as well as a big enough space for everyone.

We recommend putting a business plan in place, so you are ahead of the planning process.

2. Certified Trainer

Secondly, let’s talk about trainers.

When it comes to finding the perfect CrossFit gym, people will be considering who will be training them, so investing in certified trainers is essential.

There are different categories when it comes to CrossFit certifications, and diligent research is required.

Some certificates include but are not limited to:

  • CrossFit Level 1
  • CrossFit Level 2
  • Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer, and so on

Understanding each certification is a must when hiring your trainers. High certified trainers will understand more about how workouts need to be scheduled. This way trainers won’t program a workout with same muscle group back-to-back as muscle recovery is essential for any sport.

Someone with in-depth knowledge will be able to help you finalize the essential equipment needed for your gym.

3. Location

Last but not least, let’s talk a little bit about the proper building for your gym.

Steel buildings are a great option when considering where you want to build your CrossFit gym.

Customization is Key

Firstly, you can have garage doors! If you don’t know, garage doors are usual in a CrossFit gym because it allows the natural breeze to come in while class is in session. So don’t be afraid to add as many as you want, or as big as you want! It also provides great air circulation depending on the design of your building.

Secondly, you can also customize the building to have as many windows as you want, and even add some extra skylights for a natural light source. Natural light resources are great if you are trying to keep the power bill down.

For those extra hot days, you can add a few big fans as well. If you are concerned about the metal building getting too hot during the hot summer days, don’t worry! Appropriate insulation will be added, so it doesn’t turn into a hot box.

Proper Insulation

Now, let’s remember that buying the building is the easy part, but finding a competent company to do so is the hardest. Like we said before at our Advantages of Living In A Tiny Home, “At MBMI Metal Buildings, we build steel buildings according to your wants and needs. Our in-house team of professionals provides you with the support and guidance you want throughout the process.”

We use the best materials and finishes with sound engineering practices to build a sturdy structure that allows you to take advantage of all the benefits of a steel building.

The cost-effective construction lets you enjoy the financial freedom of owning your gym and fast build times mean you can open your new gym quickly. Contact us to find out more about customizing your own steel building so you can join the CrossFit gym era!

Lastly, understanding these things will help you have a very successful CrossFit gym of your own. Remember to create a business plan, and understand a bit more of the back-end business-related things as well to keep everything going smoothly financially wise.

Good luck!
