Shop Gym Accessories at Myprotein

The right soft accessories make every session feel that little bit sharper. From moisture-wicking socks to lifting gloves, shakers and hydration gear, this collection covers the small kit that adds up to a big difference in how you train and recover.

Whether you're heading to the gym, out on a run, or just need reliable everyday kit, soft accessories sit at the intersection of function and comfort. Every piece here is built to keep up with the way you move.

Who This Collection Is For

This range works for anyone who trains consistently and wants kit that does its job without fuss. If you're tracking your hydration, protecting your hands during heavy lifts, or keeping your feet comfortable through back-to-back sessions, there's something here built for that.

It's not just for serious athletes either. If you're just getting started and building out your gym bag essentials, soft accessories are the practical foundation everything else sits on. Gym accessories that genuinely earn their place in your kit.

When to Use Soft Accessories

Most of these pieces are everyday staples that travel from the gym to the morning run to the commute without missing a beat. Shakers and water bottles come into their own around training, keeping your nutrition and hydration on track when it matters most.

Gloves and socks earn their place during the session itself, giving you a secure, comfortable feel whether you're pulling heavy or clocking miles on the treadmill. Towels and bags handle everything in between, keeping your kit organised from arrival to exit.

Key Features

Built for the Gym Bag

Every piece in this range is sized and shaped to travel well. Shakers sit upright, bottles seal tight, socks pack flat, and gloves tuck away easily — kit that's ready when you are, without taking up extra space.

Practical Materials That Last

Designed for Movement

Socks, gloves and wearable accessories are cut and constructed to stay in place during active use. No slipping, no bunching, no distractions — just kit that moves with you through whatever the session throws at you.

Hydration That Goes the Distance

The bottle and shaker range covers everything from pre-workout shakes to all-day water intake. Large-capacity options, leak-resistant lids and easy-carry designs mean staying on top of your hydration is straightforward, wherever you are.

FAQs

What gym accessories are in this collection?

The soft accessories range includes shakers, water bottles, socks, lifting gloves, hand towels, a hydration vest, a backpack and men's boxers. It's a broad mix of everyday gym bag essentials covering hydration, hand protection, comfort and organisation — the kind of workout accessories that tend to get used every single session.

Which shaker is best for blending protein shakes?

If you're after smooth, lump-free shakes, the Myprotein Plastic Shaker is a solid choice. It comes with a unique blending ball that does the hard work for you, making it a practical substitute for an electric blender. It's one of the most-used pieces of kit in any gym bag for good reason.

What capacity are the water bottles?

Options vary across the range. The Myprotein Recycled Metal Top Handle Straw Bottle comes in at 900ml, making it well suited for longer sessions or all-day use. Other bottles in the collection offer different sizes and lid styles to suit different training formats and preferences.

Are the socks suitable for running as well as gym training?

Yes — the sock range spans trainer socks, crew socks and invisible socks, so there's a cut for most activities. Trainer and invisible socks work well for running and cardio, while crew socks suit weightlifting sessions where a bit more coverage is useful. All are designed to stay comfortable during active use.

How should I care for the soft accessories?

For wearable pieces like socks, gloves and boxers, a standard machine wash on a cool or gentle cycle is recommended. Shakers and metal bottles are best hand washed or put through the dishwasher on a low setting — always check the specific product for guidance. Keeping lids and seals clean extends the life of any bottle or shaker significantly.

What are the lifting gloves made from?

The MP Lifting Gloves are designed to give a secure, comfortable grip during weighted sessions. The materials are chosen for durability and breathability, so they hold up through repeated use without becoming uncomfortable mid-session.

Who designed these sports accessories?

Everything in this range is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. That means every piece — from the cut of the socks to the lid design on the bottles — is developed with real training needs in mind, not just aesthetics.

Is the hydration vest suitable for long-distance running?

The MP Hydration Vest is built for exactly that kind of use. It's also available as part of a bundle with two soft running bottles, giving you extra carry capacity for longer efforts. The vest is unisex and designed to sit securely without restricting movement, making it a practical choice for trail runs, road races or any endurance session where stopping to drink isn't ideal.
