The holiday season is coming and it’s time to buy presents. If you have gym-loving friends this can be difficult because they usually know what they want and own the majority of the equipment. But that doesn’t mean that it is impossible to shop for them. To help you find the perfect gift, we listed some of the best fitness items that are trending.
Fitness journal and workout planner
It is important to keep track of your workouts and stick to your program and a fitness journal can help you do just that. Sure, there are a few hundred new high-tech devices to do that, but sometimes old-school is the best, and it shows appreciation and support for your friend. Writing down workouts can help someone spot measurement progress, and it is a great way to cut down on distractions.
Therapy gun
A therapy gun device can activate muscles and relieve tension in your muscles. It helps you recover faster from a workout. It comes in different sizes and has different speeds. The mini-therapy guns are more affordable and deliver the same results as the other ones.
Dumbbells
Dumbbells are a thoughtful gift for your friends. Including dumbbells in your workout routine can benefit overall physical health. You can buy them light weights if they are beginners or heavy weights if they are heavy lifters. They can help change up a workout routine, and (bonus) they take up a small space in your house.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated while working out is important. Therefore, a reusable water bottle would be welcomed by your gym-loving friends. These water bottles would become their favorite thing since they are insulated to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours, and they come in many different colors.
Sports bra
Support is a must when working out and sports bra can go a long way in providing that needed support. They come in tons of colors and designs and often come pre-matched with a pair of leggings for the trendy gym-lover. This fitness gift duo would be hard to beat.
Workout gloves
Workout gloves are a great gift idea for heavy weightlifters as they can protect their hands from heavy weights. Workout gloves are made from a flexible and breathable material, and these will protect their hands from chafing and blistering, making their workout much easier. These gloves come in multiple sizes and colors.
Sweatpants
Your gym-loving friends may not always be into high-intensity exercises and sweaty workouts. For their light workout days, they immediately reach for their sweatpants. However, you should look for a pair that are breathable and stretchy for optimum comfort.
Lifting wrist straps
Lifting weights may be risky for your wrists, so to avoid any accidents while lifting, wrist straps can help in a pinch (pun intended). These straps are padded to prevent material from digging into your wrist. Your weightlifting friend will always be thankful for their pain-free lift after your gift.
Headphones
Headphones are a great gift for your gym-loving friends as they make their workout more pleasant. Most of these headphones are comfortable and should fit in the ear. They come in waterproof, noise-canceling and sweat-proof varieties, making them a great option for any kind of workout from yoga to Pilates to sweat-inducing cardio and strength-training.
Yoga mat and wheel
A yoga mat is a perfect portable and easily storable gift to help your friends with their routines. Aside from a yoga mat, there is also a yoga wheel, which not only can be used for conditioning to perfect regular poses but is also great for stretching and warming up.
Running belt
If your friend loves going for a run, a running belt could aid in their cardio aspirations. These belts are created with an expandable pocket that fits even the biggest smartphones. They also have room for keys and credit cards, and some also have accessible loops for energy bars. They are made from a soft elastic material that doesn’t bounce.
There are many new devices and equipment that your gym-loving friends may need or want for their workouts. Support their fitness journey with any of the gifts mentioned above that even the most frugal of friends can afford.
