7 Jump Rope Supplies I Get at Costco

When you think of Costco, you might imagine giant carts overflowing with 500-count toilet paper packs or enough ketchup to drown a hotdog stand.

But for those of us who are jump rope obsessed, Costco is a veritable playground of essentials that keep our hearts pumping, our bodies fueled, and our ankles (mostly) intact.

So, let’s dive into the seven jump rope supplies I can’t resist picking up at Costco—because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love buying in bulk and saving dough?

1. Clothes: Because jumping in pajamas is frowned upon

Costco’s clothing section is a treasure trove of jump rope gear. Whether you need socks to cushion your feet, underwear that doesn’t ride up when you’re mid-double-under, or a hoodie to make you feel like Rocky as you skip through your neighborhood, Costco’s got you covered. Literally.

But seriously, jumping in comfy, moisture-wicking clothes can make the difference between feeling like a fitness guru or a soggy piece of toast. And let’s not forget the joy of buying a 3-pack of running shorts—because, in this house, one pair is never enough.

2. Beverages: Hydrate like you mean it

Hydration is key when you’re jumping your heart out, and Costco has enough beverage options to quench the thirst of a small nation.

Water is a no-brainer, but sometimes you need a little something extra—like Gatorade for those electrolyte-refueling moments or Red Bull when you’re trying to grow wings.

And yes, I might have been seen pushing a cart filled with enough coffee to power a rocket launch. Jump rope sessions are no joke, people! I need my ‘feen!

3. Snacks: Fuel the fire (without burning out)

Jumping burns calories like nobody’s business, meaning snacks are not just a luxury but a necessity.

Costco’s snack aisle is like walking into a dream where cheese and nuts are always within arm’s reach.

Need something quick and portable? Protein bars. Want something to munch on that feels fancy? Cheese and crackers. You can even feel like a health nut while devouring a bag of trail mix.

It’s basically like being on a wilderness expedition—except your wilderness is your backyard, and your expedition is to break your personal jump rope record.

My personal favorite Costco snacks are the nut and cheese combos, grapefruit sections, mango chunks (to die for), and several brands of protein bars.

4. Meal Supplies: Because you can’t live on cheese alone (trust me, I’ve tried)

After a good jump rope session, you need to refuel, and Costco’s meal supplies are perfect for throwing together something nutritious and delicious. Turkey, cheese, bread—boom, you’ve got yourself a killer sandwich.

Throw in a salad, and now you’re eating like a pro athlete. Or at least like someone who pretends they are one on Instagram.

Costco’s deli keeps cheap chickens on the roaster, but it also has a whole bunch of easy pre-made meals like salads, meatloaf, tacos, sandwiches, pasta, and lots more. These can be easy ways to refuel after a serious skipping session.

Pro tip: when your Costco turkey comes in a pack big enough to feed a high school football team, consider it meal prep for the month. You’ll thank me later.

5. Mats: Protect your joints (and your pride)

Let’s talk mats. Jumping on a hard surface is a fast track to Knee Pain City, and nobody wants to go there.

Costco’s got you covered with everything from sturdy garage/workout mats to door mats that you can drag outside for a spontaneous jump session. They’re durable, they’re comfy, and they save you from having to explain to your chiropractor why you thought jumping on concrete was a good idea.

I picked up a decent door mat that doubles as a jump rope mat for just $14.95. String a few of these together and you can have your own magic jump rope carpet.

Plus, having a mat handy means you can jump pretty much anywhere—so yes, the front yard is now a gym. Sorry, neighbors.

6. Headphones: Because jumping rope in silence is for monks

Music is the ultimate motivator when jumping rope, and good headphones are like the cherry on top of my fitness sundae. Costco offers a great selection, from AirPods for the sleek and stylish to Bose noise-canceling headphones for when you need to block out the world (or the sounds of yourself wheezing).

My fave? The Powerbeats Pro. Because they usually stay on my head, they fit under a hoodie, and nothing says “I’m serious about skipping” like drowning out everything except the beat that’s keeping you in sync with your rope.

7. Tiger Balm: Soothe the sizzle

Let’s be real—after a tough jump rope session, your muscles will remind you that you’re not 18 anymore.

Certainly, Tylenol or Ibuprofen can help, but my main squeeze is Tiger Balm, the magical elixir that Costco sells in bulk because they know what’s up. A little dab here, a little dab there, and suddenly that post-workout soreness is a distant memory.

And hey, if nothing else, it gives you a legit reason to sit down and not move for a while. “Sorry, can’t help with the dishes—I’m in recovery mode.”

Pro tip: Wear gloves when applying Tiger Balm, and do not touch your face, junk, or anything else until you’ve washed your hands.

Conclusion: Jump rope supplies, Costco style

So, there you have it—my seven must-have jump rope supplies from Costco. It’s a little bit fitness, a little bit practicality, and a whole lot of bulk-buying goodness.

Next time you’re wandering the aisles of Costco, just remember: every gallon of Gatorade, every pack of turkey, and every blop of Tiger Balm is another step toward jump rope greatness.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some snacks to eat, balm to bust out, and a mat to unroll. Time to jump!
