This August, Gymreapers will take the floor as the “Official Apparel, Knee Sleeve, and Belt Partner” of the 2025 CrossFit Games Age Group Division, supplying high-performance gear to 520 of the world’s top teenage and master athletes.
Taking place from August 21 to 24 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, the Age Group Games embody the CrossFit spirit – driven, disciplined, and deeply committed to personal excellence. From the youngest qualifiers to the most experienced veterans, these athletes train with relentless determination.
- “Whether you’re 16 or 70, the standard is the same. Give your best, and keep getting better,” the Gymreapers team told us. “That mindset is everything, and it’s why we’re here.”
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
Since 2014, Gymreapers has been a go-to choice for strength athletes worldwide, renowned for high-quality training gear designed for progress, not flash. From the rack to the competition floor, every piece is crafted with durability, comfort, and uncompromising standards in mind.
- “The Age Group athletes exemplify what it means to train with purpose,” the team added. “We’re excited to support this incredible division of the CrossFit Games.”
As part of the partnership, Gymreapers will provide official competition uniforms, knee sleeves, and weightlifting belts, ensuring every athlete has the necessary gear to perform at their best.
Trista Smith: The Mindset Behind the Games
To understand the deeper meaning of competing in the Age Group division, we asked Trista Smith, a three-time teen CrossFit Games athlete and Gymreapers athlete, to share what she has taken with her from those early years.
- “Competing as a teen taught me so much. I made mistakes, felt upset—but those moments helped me grow and become a better athlete,” Smith told the Morning Chalk Up.
One phrase from her coach, Adam Neiffer, still grounds her:
- “The highs are never that high, and the lows are never that low,” she said. “You might win big or fall short—but either way, you reset and move forward. That mindset helps you keep showing up and getting better.”
Her advice to first-time Games athletes?
- “Have fun. Be a kid. Live your life outside the gym, too. I think that’s why I still love competing—because I found that balance.”
Built by Athletes. Backed by the Community.
Reliable gear is essential, especially when the difference between making the podium and missing it comes down to focus and form.
- “You’ve put in the work, so it would be awful if your gear was what held you back,” Smith said. “I love my Gymreapers gear because it meets my standard on the floor. I can trust it.”
This partnership is about more than just performance apparel. It reflects a shared ethos: discipline over hype, resilience over shortcuts, and purpose above all.
As the countdown to Columbus begins, Gymreapers is proud to support every Age Group athlete, celebrating each lift, every rep, and every moment that demonstrates true strength.
