Gifts for Fitness Fanatics
If you are struggling to get something for your fitness-obsessed friends, you’re not the only one. It is really difficult to find the perfect gift for something who loves to get sweaty, especially if you’re not a fitness lover yourself. Christmas has come and gone, and we have all been kept in lockdown for almost a year now. Many of us have spent this time gaining some extra weight and it can be a huge challenge to try and get back into shape. With lockdown still looming over many of us, our new year resolutions are harder than ever to move into motion. If you have a friend or family member who loves to get into workouts, well-being, or a dedicated gym-goer, this article is made just for you. This list of gifts is designed to show your gym-loving friend that you have thought about them and will also make sure the gift you give them will be utilised in their day-to-day life. Our list of gifts is designed to help optimize workouts, ranging from tech-based tools to high-class fitness gear and post-workout recovery.
Personalised Water Bottle
Our first recommendation is a personalized water bottle as everyone knows plenty of water is essential when doing any exercise. No doubt, many people don’t get enough water to begin with and it is recommended to drink 1 ounce of water daily for each pound of body weight. A water bottle may just help them stay hydrated throughout the day: before, during, and after their workout. A water bottle is a useful gift for anyone, and you can find hundreds of designs for personalized bottles on sites such as Etsy or Not On The High Street
Gym Bag
These days, a gym bag comes in a variety of designs from hundreds of high street and designer brands. These are the perfect gift for someone who goes to the gym before or after work, or has a busy schedule. Having a gym bag is a million times easier than having to go home to change each time they work out, as they can throw their gym bag in their car and take it with them through the day.
Air Pods
A good playlist can push someone through a tough workout more than anything else. When going to the gym or even running during lockdown, having earphones can make all the difference when it comes to staying motivated and pushing on. However, standard earphones can be a struggle when exercising as the wires can get tangled and become a nuisance. You can gift a new pair of Apple Air Pods and solve this problem; your friend can listen to their favorite playlist while exercising without having to worry about holding a phone or getting caught in wires.
Apple Watch
If you want to look at practical gifts and maybe a higher-end product, then the Apple Watch is the best way to go. It has a screen, electrical heart sensor, retina display, fall detection, and a speaker. It is a great gift for a gym enthusiast as it has all the features of the well-known Fit Bit with added extras, including the fact it can connect to your iPhone and display your calls and messages as well.
Home Gym Equipment
Home gym equipment is ideal for anyone wanting to stay in shape, especially during the current circumstances and lockdowns we all face. If you know someone who is struggling to keep up their workout routine during the restrictions, why not give them a helping hand and buy some home gym items? Have a look online for things such as jumping ropes, resistance bands or yoga mats. Any of these items will help your friends or family to burn those extra calories while staying at home. Whether they love to run, lift weights or try yoga, there are thousands of items you can order easily that can help them achieve their fitness goals.
Spa Appointment
These days, gift cards are the best way of showing your love without spending hours looking for the perfect gift. It can be difficult trying to find a present for someone who’s interests are so contrasting to your own. A spa or massage gift card can make a great gift to anyone who does hours of workouts and may not spend as much time resting. Your active friend will appreciate the opportunity to give their muscles and joints some relief after all the time spent keeping fit. You can send a personalized spa gift card in just a few seconds, even sending it via email in order to maintain social distancing.
