Essential Equipment for a CrossFit Gym
When setting up a CrossFit gym, having the right equipment is crucial. At UK Supreme Fitness (UKSF), we offer a wide range of CrossFit equipment tailored to meet your gym's needs. CrossFit gyms usually require ample space to ensure athletes can perform their Workouts of the Day (WODs) safely and efficiently, without getting in each other’s way. Here’s a breakdown of essential equipment categories and recommendations from UKSF.
CrossFit Rigs
CrossFit rigs are vital for gymnastic work, pull-ups, toes to bars, muscle-ups, squats, bench presses, and other pulling movements. UKSF offers custom-made rigs in various shapes and sizes, suitable for any gym layout.
Types of Rigs:
- Wall Mounted Rigs:Space-saving designs that fit against the wall.
- Freestanding Rigs: These can create a central feature in the gym, allowing for more squat bays and working stations.
Both types can be customised in terms of size and colour to fit your gym’s aesthetics. Additionally, you can add attachments such as dip stations, wall ball targets, and landmine attachments.

Gym Flooring
The correct gym flooring is essential to protect your equipment and sub-floor. UKSF offers various types of flooring to suit your CrossFit gym needs, with thicknesses starting at 20mm up to 50mm.
Types of Flooring:
- Standard Crumb Rubber Tiles: Affordable and good for sound absorption but can be hard to clean and may show wear over time.
- Membrane Clip Flooring:extremely durable, easy to replace, and clean, offering better support for exercises like burpees. It’s slightly more expensive but worth the investment for its longevity.
- Roll Gym Flooring: Provides a seamless finish and is easy to clean but challenging to install and offers less protection.
We recommend the UKSF membrane flooring for a premium finish that will last longer.
