Shop Training Aids Accessories at Myprotein

Gym accessories are the details that separate a good session from a great one. The training aids and accessories range at Myprotein covers everything from shakers and hydration bottles to lifting straps, liquid chalk, and grip support — practical kit designed to keep you focused on the work, not the friction around it.

Whether you're deep into a strength programme or building a consistent training habit, having the right gym accessories in your kit bag makes a tangible difference. This range brings together over 20 products built for real training environments, from the gym floor to the track and everywhere in between.

Who Training Aids Accessories Are For

These training aids are built for anyone who takes their workouts seriously — from those just getting started with a structured routine to experienced lifters, runners, and cross-trainers who know the value of having reliable kit. If you're lifting heavy, training with high frequency, or simply want to stay better organised around your sessions, there's something here that earns its place.

This range also suits those who train across multiple disciplines. A deadlift specialist will reach for the lifting straps and liquid chalk; a runner or HYROX competitor will want the soft running bottle or dedicated sports water bottle; someone tracking their supplement stack will find the pill box and shaker range genuinely useful day to day.

When to Use Training Aids Accessories

Most of these accessories are built for daily use, not occasional occasions. Shakers and hydration bottles go wherever your training does — pre-session, intra-workout, and post-session. Lifting straps and liquid chalk are best used during heavy compound movements where grip becomes the limiting factor, such as deadlifts, rows, and pull-downs.

Accessories like the pill box and hand towel work around your routine rather than during it — keeping supplements organised for the week ahead or managing sweat during high-intensity sessions. The ab roller is a direct training tool, best used as part of a core-focused warm-up or finisher. Each product in this range has a clear moment where it earns its keep.

Training Aids Accessories Benefits

Better Grip, Heavier Lifts

Grip fatigue is one of the most common limiters in heavy pulling movements. Padded lifting straps redistribute load from the fingers to the wrists, letting you push working weight further without grip giving out first. Liquid chalk takes it a step further by reducing moisture and improving contact between hand and bar — useful in both gym and competition settings.

Hydration You Can Actually Keep Up With

Staying properly hydrated across a training session is easier when your bottle works for you. The range includes everything from compact 400ml mini shakers to a half-gallon hydrator for those with serious volume needs. Soft running bottles and dedicated sports bottles are shaped for movement, so hydration doesn't interrupt your session.

Organisation That Keeps Your Routine On Track

The seven-compartment pill box takes the guesswork out of supplement organisation across the week. Pair that with a reliable shaker for mixing on the go and a hand towel that actually belongs in a gym bag, and the admin side of training becomes effortless. Small details, consistent habits.

Core Training Tools That Go Beyond Accessories

The ab roller and mat set is a practical piece of kit for anyone working on core strength as part of their programme. It's compact, needs no setup, and fits neatly into a warm-up, finisher, or standalone core session — no machine required.

FAQs

What gym accessories are available at Myprotein?

Myprotein's training aids and accessories range covers over 20 products, including plastic and metal shakers, soft running bottles, a half-gallon hydrator, lifting straps, lifting gloves, liquid chalk, a seven-compartment pill box, crew and ankle socks, a hand towel, an ab roller and mat set, and collaborative designs with Promixx. There's also branded Marvel character shakers for those who want something with a bit more personality.

What gym accessories are best for weightlifting?

For weightlifting, the Myprotein Padded Lifting Straps are a strong starting point — they're built for all types of weightlifting and take the pressure off grip during heavy pulls, letting you focus on the movement rather than holding on. Liquid Chalk is another practical pick, reducing hand moisture and improving bar contact during max-effort sets. Lifting gloves round out the grip toolkit for those who prefer full-hand coverage.

What's the difference between the plastic shaker and the metal shaker?

The Plastic Shaker is a lightweight, everyday option with a blending ball for smooth mixing — ideal as a no-fuss alternative to an electric blender. The Recycled Metal Shaker is a more durable, premium-feel option made from recycled materials, suited to those who want something that holds up to heavier daily use and looks the part in and out of the gym. Both are available in the same Clear/Black and Black colourways.

How big are the shakers and water bottles in this range?

Capacity options span a wide range. The Mini Plastic Shaker holds 400ml — compact enough for smaller servings or travel. The standard Plastic Shaker and metal options suit full-size servings. The Smartshake Lite steps up to 1 litre, the Promixx Eco Shaker Bottle holds 700ml, the single-wall metal bottle holds 950ml, and the Half Gallon Hydrator takes it all the way up for those tracking serious daily fluid intake.

Is the Myprotein Hyrox Sports Water Bottle suitable for race day?

The Myprotein Hyrox Sports Water Bottle is designed specifically with functional fitness and HYROX-style training in mind, making it a practical choice for both training and race-day use. Its design prioritises ease of use during high-intensity movement, which is exactly what that format demands. It's available in Black and sits alongside the Soft Running Bottle as the range's dedicated endurance and movement-focused hydration options.

What are Myprotein's training accessories made from?

Materials vary across the range. The Recycled Metal Shaker and the Promixx x Myprotein Single Wall Metal Bottle are made using recycled materials, reflecting a push towards more sustainable kit. Plastic shakers use standard BPA-free plastic construction. The Promixx Eco Shaker Bottle also leans into sustainable design. Lifting accessories like straps and gloves use durable, gym-grade materials built for repeated heavy use.

Who designs Myprotein's training aids and accessories?

Myprotein's training accessories are developed by Myprotein's expert team, with input shaped by the needs of real athletes and everyday gym-goers. Collaborative products — like the Promixx x Myprotein shaker and bottle range — bring in specialist design expertise to deliver kit that performs in specific training contexts.

Are Myprotein gym accessories available in Ireland?

Yes, the full range of Myprotein gym accessories and fitness accessories — including shakers, lifting aids, hydration bottles, socks, and training tools — is available to order in Ireland through the Myprotein website. The same product range ships across the UK and Ireland, so availability is consistent.

What workout accessories does Myprotein offer for everyday gym use?

For day-to-day gym use, the most-reached-for items tend to be a shaker, a hand towel, crew or ankle socks, and either lifting straps or gloves depending on your training style. The seven-compartment pill box is a practical add-on for anyone managing a supplement routine across the week. All are designed to work hard in real gym environments without overcomplicating things.

Can I use the ab roller if I'm new to core training?

The Myprotein Ab Roller and Mat Set can be used at any experience level, though it's worth starting with shorter ranges of motion and building up gradually. The included mat provides cushioning for knees and wrists during use. It works as a standalone core finisher or as part of a warm-up, and the compact format means it's just as usable at home as it is in a gym setting.
