Essential Gear

The Foundation of every good workout starts from the ground up. Here are my top Nike, Puma & Addidas running shoes.  These pairs deliver the perfect balance of stability for Heavy Caroline Girvan Lifting days, and maximum shock absorption to protect you joints during high=impact Hine Dance tracks.

Caroline Girvan Fitness Programs (YouTube & CGX App)
 
Alizia Linden profile picture
An absolute must-have for Caroline Girvan programs. I highly recommend hex dumbbells because they have flat edges, meaning they won’t roll away when you quickly drop them during her intense supersets or use them for renegade rows!
Rubber Hexagonal Dumbbells (KGs)

Caroline loves hip thrusts, planks, and push-ups, so a standard thin mat won't cut it. This one offers thick cushioning for your knees and stays completely locked to the floor even when you sweat.
Heavy-Duty Non-Slip Fitness Mat

Perfect for Caroline’s signature glute burnout sets. Opt for fabric bands over rubber ones—they don’t roll up your thighs, pinch your skin, or snap mid-exercise.
Fabric Resistance Booty Bands

If you are doing Caroline Girvan's heavy hip thrusts, a standard mat isn't enough. This thick foam pad protects your hips completely so you can focus entirely on progressive overload.
