At Best-Supps, you'll find selected aids ranging from shakers and measuring spoons to lifting straps and resistance bands – ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who want to make their routine more comfortable, regular, and efficient.
Discover the selection below. In the guide further down, you'll get a compact overview of the different types of fitness accessories, typical areas of application, important buying criteria, and proper care, so that the products remain practical and useful in everyday life for a long time.
What falls under the category of accessories?
In the accessories category, we bundle practical products for training and nutrition that are not supplements themselves but make everyday life easier. These include shakers and water bottles, dosing aids like spoons and small scales, storage for capsules and powders, as well as training accessories like lifting straps, wrist wraps, or resistance bands. Depending on your training goal, the selection varies, and many products are also used as supplements to fitness equipment. It is therefore a deliberately broad collection category with a variety of useful companions.
Good accessories are inconspicuous but worth their weight in gold in everyday life: the right shaker makes a protein drink on the go possible, the correct dosing aid ensures the right portion, and robust training accessories reliably accompany you through your sessions. Unlike supplements, accessories do not get used up – they are a one-time purchase that, with good quality, lasts for years and thus quickly pays for itself.
Why the right accessories make a difference
Supplements are usually the focus, but the right accessories often determine how well a routine can be implemented in everyday life. A tight shaker makes a protein drink in the office or after training practical in the first place; a precision scale ensures the portion is correct; a portion container saves carrying large cans. This variety of useful companions costs little, lasts a long time, and supports better results in everyday life – and it is precisely this smooth functionality that makes the difference between good intentions and actual regularity.
At Best-Supps, we therefore do not see accessories as a minor matter, but as a meaningful addition to a premium assortment. Which products are truly useful depends heavily on personal training goals and, with the right selection, contributes to improving one's routine. We offer selected, durable products that reliably fulfill their purpose – without unnecessary frills, but with a focus on quality and everyday suitability.
Overview of the areas
Shakers & Water Bottles
A classic for anyone who drinks protein or other powders. Shakers ensure lump-free drinks on the go, water bottles ensure hydration during training. You can find the selection in the Shakers category.
Dosing Aids
Measuring spoons, small kitchen and precision scales, and measuring cups help to precisely portion powders – important for adhering to the amount specified on the product.
Storage
Pill boxes, powder containers (funnels/funnel boxes), and resealable boxes are practical for preparing portions for on the go and keeping things tidy.
Training Accessories
Lifting straps, wrist and elbow wraps, resistance bands, or training gloves support certain exercises and are considered basic equipment for many in the gym.
Shakers & Water Bottles
For anyone using protein powder or other drink powders, a good shaker is the most important accessory. It mixes the powder lump-free with liquid thanks to a sieve, mixing ball, or compartment and is tightly sealable for transport. Water bottles, in turn, accompany you during training and in everyday life and help you drink enough. Both are available in various sizes and materials; more on this in the dedicated Shakers category.
Water Bottles in Detail
Water bottles are more than just water containers – the right bottle accompanies you through training and everyday life and helps you drink enough. Common bottles are made of BPA-free plastic (light and inexpensive), stainless steel (durable, tasteless, sometimes insulated), and glass (tasteless, easy to clean). Sizes range from handy 500 ml bottles to large gym gallons with a liter or more, making it easier to keep track of your daily fluid intake. Practical features include a leak-proof closure, an easy-to-grip shape, and a wide opening that facilitates filling and cleaning.
Dosing Aids & Storage
Those who use supplements benefit from suitable dosing aids. A measuring spoon of the right size or a small precision scale ensures that you hit the recommended portion – especially with powders that need to be dosed precisely. For on the go, powder containers and pill boxes are practical: this way, you have your portion of protein, creatine, or capsules at hand without having to carry the large container. Such aids are inexpensive, last a long time, and noticeably bring more order to your routine.
Training Accessories
There are numerous aids for training that are useful depending on the training style, especially for strength training, which is central to muscle building, fitness, and strong muscles. **Lifting straps** support grip during heavy pulling exercises. Wrist wraps provide support for the wrist during pressing exercises, resistance bands are suitable for warm-ups, mobilization, and home workouts; for muscle building, they are recommended along with adjustable dumbbells. Training gloves protect the hands. Which accessories fit depends on your exercises and preferences – none of it is mandatory, but much of it is practical.
Training Accessories in Detail
When it comes to strength training, there are some aids that are useful depending on the goal and exercise. **Lifting straps** are wrapped around the wrist and the barbell, relieving grip during heavy pulling movements like deadlifts or rows – this way, grip strength is less likely to be the limiting factor. Wrist wraps stabilize the wrist during pressing exercises like bench press or overhead press. Resistance bands are particularly versatile: they are suitable for warm-ups, mobility exercises, and as a complete training device for on the go or at home. Pull-up bars are also an effective option for upper body training. Dumbbells allow for clear performance increases through gradual weight increases. Training gloves protect the hands from pressure points and improve grip for some.
None of these products are mandatory – many train entirely without them. However, they can improve comfort and handling and are often a useful addition for advanced users who specifically perform heavy exercises. Correct application is important: accessories complement clean technique but do not replace it. A fascia roller can additionally improve flexibility and support regeneration.
Accessories for Home Gym, Home & On the Go
Not all accessories are just for the gym: the right place for effective training can also be quickly set up in a home gym. For home training, resistance bands, a good water bottle, and a shaker are often a solid basis, as a well-equipped home training environment doesn't need many devices. Compact aids are advantageous for on the go and travel: a shaker with a powder compartment, a pill box for capsules, and a container with pre-portioned powder make it easy to maintain the routine even away from home. This allows for flexibility without having to carry large containers. Space-saving devices are ideal for effective home training. The filters in the shop allow you to sort accessories by type, material, and brand.
Material, Quality & Care
For accessories that come into contact with food or drinks – shakers, bottles, spoons, containers – it's worth looking at the material and durability. BPA-free plastics are common and practical; stainless steel is durable and tasteless. For training accessories, robust seams, high-quality closures, and appropriate sizes are important. Also, pay attention to good cleaning options: many items are dishwasher safe, which simplifies care. The respective care instructions are on the product.
Buying Accessories – What should you look out for?
Purpose
Consider what you need the accessories for – even as a beginner, you should determine the purpose before buying, whether it's a shaker for drinks on the go, a dosing aid for exact portions, or straps for heavy training. This way, you'll find exactly what you need.
Material & Workmanship
BPA-free plastic or stainless steel for drinking vessels, robust workmanship for training accessories. Quality pays off over the lifespan and also supports performance in use.
Size & Handling
From shaker size to strap length: pay attention to the format that suits your needs. You can find the specifications on the respective product.
Brand & Care
Renowned brands stand for consistent quality, and many customers also pay attention to functional design. Easy-to-clean accessories bring more joy in everyday life. At Best-Supps, we carry accessories from selected brands at a fair price in relation to quality.
The Gym Essentials
Anyone who trains regularly will gradually assemble a small basic set of equipment. Strength equipment is primarily for ambitious trainees, whether as a supplement to the gym or for home training. A reliable shaker and a water bottle form the basis, supplemented depending on the training style by lifting straps for heavy pulling exercises, wrist wraps for pressing exercises, and possibly training gloves. Dumbbells and pull-up bars are also recommended for muscle building. For home or on the go, resistance bands are versatile. The advantage: these items are one-time purchases that last for years and make training more comfortable. You don't have to buy everything at once – it makes sense to start with what you actually use and supplement the equipment as needed. Weighted vests can additionally increase strength and endurance.
Sustainability & Reusability
Good accessories are also environmentally sound: a reusable shaker or a durable water bottle replaces many disposable cups and bottles. Particularly durable materials like stainless steel often last for many years and can eventually be recycled. If you value sustainability, pay attention to robust workmanship and timeless models instead of frequent new purchases. In this way, high-quality accessories save resources and money over time.
For whom are which accessories useful?
A shaker is practically for everyone who drinks protein powder or other powders. Dosing aids are useful as soon as you want to portion powders precisely. Storage is worthwhile if you are often on the go. Training accessories like straps and wraps are primarily aimed at those who want to specifically support certain exercises in strength sports. In short: which accessories suit you depends on your training and your supplement routine.
Accessories & Your Supplement Routine
Accessories and supplements belong together: one makes the other truly practical in everyday life. Those who drink their protein in the morning need a shaker; those who want to precisely dose creatine or powder reach for a precision scale or the appropriate spoon; those who travel a lot pack portion containers and a pill box. Wisely chosen accessories lower the hurdle of consistently following one's routine – and that is crucial for nutritional supplements, because regularity counts more than a single perfect day. It is therefore worthwhile, when buying supplements, to immediately check whether the appropriate accessories are already available.
Hygiene & Fresh Equipment
Accessories that come into contact with drinks and sweat should be cleaned regularly. Rinse shakers and bottles after each use and let them air dry to prevent odors. Exercise mats provide comfort for yoga and floor exercises. Such mats are also ideal for Pilates and stretching exercises. A small gym towel is considered basic equipment by many and can simply be washed with other laundry. Textile training accessories – such as gloves or wraps – benefit from occasional washing and complete drying. Stretching on exercise mats also remains comfortable this way. With little effort, your equipment remains hygienic and ready for use for a long time.
Related Categories & Useful Additions
Accessories primarily complement your supplements. You can find the right shaker in the Shaker category. What you mix with it is available under proteins and whey protein; for training, creatine and pre-workout boosters are also suitable.
Care & Durability
Accessories last a long time if they are cared for. Rinse shakers, bottles, and containers promptly after each use and let them dry thoroughly to prevent odors; many parts are dishwasher safe. Wash textile training accessories occasionally and dry them completely. Observe the care instructions on the product. This way, your accessories remain hygienic and functional for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions about Accessories (FAQ)
To get started, a good shaker is usually enough and – if you dose powder – a suitable measuring scoop. Beginners often start with little and add the rest as needed and according to their training and routine.

That depends on the product. Many shakers, bottles and scoops are dishwasher-safe; the information is on the product or on the packaging.
Lifting straps support your grip during heavy pulling exercises such as deadlifts or rows, so that grip strength does not become the limiting factor.
Above all the supplement categories such as Proteins, Whey Protein, Creatine and Pre-Workout – the accessories help you use them comfortably in everyday life.
That depends on the use: BPA-free plastic is light and cheap, stainless steel durable and insulating, glass flavor-neutral. For on the go, a leak-proof closure is important.
Stainless steel is more durable, flavor-neutral and more sustainable, but somewhat more expensive and heavier. Plastic is lighter and cheaper. Both are a matter of priorities.
Yes – a high-quality shaker, a water bottle or a set of training accessories are practical gifts for anyone who trains or uses supplements – whether for home or as a flexible alternative to the gym. As a further gift tip, kettlebells are a good choice, as they increase both strength and endurance.
