2. Tighten Those Thighs

CW-X ¾ Length Revolution Compression Tights are like a Spidey suit for the gym (minus the wall-climbing function). A support web in the knees and hips provides stability, helps with shock absorption and balance, and even reduces post-workout soreness.

3. Sweat the Small Stuff

Towelmate does triple duty at the gym: The black side is for your face and body, the germ-fighting pink side is for wiping down nasty equipment, and the pocket is for storing your iPad, keys and pass.

Fear the scuzzy gym fountain no more. In just 60 seconds, the UV lamp in the CamelBak All Clear Water Purifier zaps bacteria and viruses-all you have to do is fill and shake.
