Leotards/clothes
Style for peak performance!
A super comfy and affordable brand! They have a ton of fun designs and styles and also were the cheapest brand I liked when I was a gymnast! They also do fundraisers for gyms!
Leotards
I loved a tight tank for gymnastics when I was in college! Pair these with tight shorts and it’s way more comfy than a leotard! Old navy has great options in women’s and kids sections!
Active Wear Tank Tops
Peak comfort and athletic look! So many fun colors! Nike is newly doing leotards and I wish they did it sooner!
Gymnastics & Dance Inspired. Nike.com
Fun colors! Perfect for over leotards or with a tank for practice!
Girls Nike Pro Shorts
The 6 inch shorts are great for over Leo’s or with tanks
Women's Align Shorts
Some of the most fun leotard designs and so comfy! As my time as a gymnast this brand was one of my favorites! They also do a lot of custom leotards

Every gymnast needs a fun and personalized grip bag! I had this brand when I was a gymnast and it brought me thru my whole career
Grip Bags for Gymnastics by Destira
These were my favorite wrist bands for grips! They also helped prevent rips on your wrists!
DRYbands Wristbands
A lot of my teammates also used plain Nike wrist bands for their grips and preferred that! These are a little thinner so it allows you to feel them more on your wrist which some gymnastics like. They are also shorter

This is the brand of grips I used in college! There are tons of great brands but this and Us glove are the most common!

Lots of gymnasts use tiger paws for their wrists! This is the brand my teammates used! They also sell grips!

ETHOS Block Chalk
This is my favorite brand for ankle and wrists weights! The quality is worth the price! They are easy to adjust the weight and aren’t going to fall or slide off like a lot of the sand based weights do
