The freedom to use your own equipment whenever and however you want is a liberating experience, and you will notice a difference in your workouts.

To help you get started, we put together a CrossFit equipment list that includes everything from the basic ropes and kettlebells to the extras like mats, rollers, and even a rowing machine.
