A sweat grip comprising a main body with a sweat-absorbent side and a grip side with a higher coefficient of friction than the sweat-absorbent side and having antimicrobial properties. The sweat grip can be wrapped around an object such as the handle of an exercise machine, such that the sweat grip can enhance a user's grip on the object and can at least partially absorb the user's sweat without transferring sweat to the object.
