The high-intensity nature of CrossFit workouts combined with the variety of movements calls for some pretty solid workout gear. If you're new to CrossFit and you're wondering what to wear, we've got you covered from head to toe.

Chestee Sports Bra

While any quality sports bra will offer support when running, jumping, or going upside down, the Pride T Chestee ($64) has extra padding above the breasts to prevent bruising from the barbell (it happens!).
