So you’re needing to get a gift for a friend who’s into fitness. Whether you’re needing a gift for a girlfriend, husband, sister, or dad, I’VE GOT YOU. Below I’ve included 20 different gift ideas for you to consider.
Before we get click happy, let’s talk about a few things to consider before you start making a list –
Think about it
What sport or activity are they into?
This may be running, hiking, boxing, crossfit, orangetheory, cycling, etc. Know what they love to do and think about that when purchasing gifts.
What would they love but wouldn’t buy for themselves?
This is your opportunity to spoil your people! If they’ve mentioned something but said “eh, it’d be nice, but I don’t think I’d get one”, well, that’s your sign to buy it. Buy it now.
What’s their style?
Ask yourself a few questions – What are their favorite brands? Do they prefer patterns or solids? Where do they mostly shop? Know what they typically lean towards and stick to that. Not that going outside the box is bad, but you’re going to be gambling on whether it’s something that fits them right or that they will use.
Know the exchange policy on items
When buying things for others, you always want to make sure you’re checking the exchange policy. This doesn’t mean they hate the gift, but it gives them an opportunity to switch sizes, switch colors, or exchange for something a little different.
Personally, if I’m buying someone a gift, I want them to love it. And if they don’t, I have no problem with them exchanging it for something they DO love and would use more.
20 Gift Ideas for your Fitness Friends
Each item is linked below for you to easily shop and check off your list!
A staple for any fitness person! This water bottle has motivational markers for you to follow throughout your day.
One of my favorite fitness stores – Lululemon! Find a place your person loves and shop there. This is the Define Jacket from Lululemon. It’s a staple piece for me. I’ve had mine for over 5 years and it’s still in GREAT shape!
Another Lululemon find. These are the Lululemon Wunder Trains. This is the most versatile legging (IMO) that Lululemon has. It’s a great legging for any high impact sport and running.
Lululemon Aligns are also a great legging, just know that the material is softer and isn’t necessarily meant for high-impact.
This is a huge trending piece right now. Particularly this Lululemon fanny pack. I’ve seen this worn to the gym, as athleisure, and just out and about!
Every fitness person NEEDS a foam roller. You’ll see these at every gym, class, or therapy clinic. This is great for relieving any targeted muscle tension or knots.
If you dont’ have a jump rope, buy one, buy one now. This is one of the most UNDERRATED exercises there is.
I love me a good FitBit. I’ve been a fitbit person since back when the charge was popular. Since then, I’ve just upgraded each year or so. This is a slimmer model of the Fitbit that still has all the bells and whistles, but with a new modern look.
You can wear this both at the gym and with your work professional wear.
** SPLURGE
This one’s a splurge item! A little pricier than the others listed. However, if you’re friend is in the market for a new watch or this is something they’ve always wanted, it’s a great gift option!
Healthy eating comes with fitness. Having a lunchbox you love and want to carry around is so important in setting yourself up for nutritional success.
Meal prep and pack!
We all have a gym bag, and if you don’t, this is your sign to get one. This gym bag has a compartment for your shoes, water bottles, and a large area with a center zipper for all our gym gear.
This is such a great and EASY gift idea! Hats are staples for men and women so you really can’t go wrong here. I have this adidas hat and it’s definitely one of my favorites.
I thought airpods were overrated until I got them. Let me tell you, these babies are AMAZING. They’re sound blocking and actually read your calls and text messages while they’re on. You can also play, pause and skip music by a touch as well as adjust volume.
Again, AMAZING and 100% worth the hype.
This is something that every fitness person needs in their house. We use this ALL the time. This one has different massage head attachments that you can switch out as well as 20 different levels so you can adjust intensity.
You can’t go wrong with new shoes a gift. These Adidas NMDs are one of my favorite shoes I own. They are flat which makes for good lifting shoes and they are SUPER light for running as well. I’ve put some miles on mine.
This set of 3 tanks is a perfect gift for ladies. Theres several different color options, so you don’t have to stick with this particular set. But some new workout tops are a perfect and easy gift!
These cotton and polyester blend joggers would be perfect for any man in your life. They have a slim look and zipper adjustments at the ankle. Great for working out or athleisure!
This is a gift that you’ll thank me for later. This set specifically is for shoulder rehab and strength. It’s a great way to warm up your shoulders as well as work on shoulder rehab. GREAT for anyone with nagging shoulders or just to keep those joints warm and healthy.
** SPLURGE
Again, a staple for any at home gym. This set comes with a stand and includes dumbbell sets of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 lbs. There are different options too if you’d like a bigger set. This link gives you the option to purchase up to 590lbs of dumbbells.
** SPLURGE
This is one my favorite pieces I’ve added to our home gym in the last year. It’s a great way to get some cardio in. Whether you’re following an app or watching TV while riding, you’re going to get a sweat going. This link often has sales going on for the bike so you can find it anywhere between $400-$500 at any given time! Again, a splurge, but a GREAT gift for cycling people.
** SPLURGE
A classic staple, the treadmill. You can use this in so many ways, from walking, running, classes, warm ups, cool downs, incline training, interval training.
This is the NordicTrack and a solid machine. It has up to 10% incline and 1-10mph speed options. This model also has a small screen and comes with an iFIT membership so that you can follow along with their classes!
