Need some gift ideas for a gym guy?
Fitness gifts are great. They urge us to be better versions of ourselves or engage in activities we enjoy. Here are 10 of our favorite items to give the fitness buff in your life (or maybe add to your own wish list).
Gen3 Horizon Ring
The Aura ring needs no introduction as it’s having a moment. The Aura is smaller, dressier and packs a greater technological punch than many other wearables and the social nature of the app builds community as well as accountability. We’re all hearing about (and learning experientially) the importance of quality sleep and the sleep score is a helpful tool. This should be top of the list for any fitness buff without an Aura already.
Mini Massage Gun
TheraGuns are great for gym rats who spends hours in the gym and work to optimize recovery. They are also great for those who rarely frequent the gym but then really feel it afterwards. This smaller, but still very powerful, Mini TheraGun is great for traveling, to have at home, or to stash in your gym locker.
Wheel Foam Roller
Modern life, with desk chairs, travel times, and phone-induced hunching hasn’t been great for posture and back health. Chirp wheel foam rollers, which come in a variety of sizes, provide relief to those with back pain and a really great stretch. Eligible for use with FSA and HSA accounts, consider Chirp your tax-advantaged gift idea.
Shaker Bottle Pro Series
“Do you even lift, bro?” There will be no doubt you lift with a BlenderBottle in hand. The easiest, fastest way to prepare a protein shake comes in a variety of colors and sizes. These also work well for iced coffee on the go as they are easily carried to work, class, or on errands. Some even use these for mixing salad dressings, but that’s a bridge too far for us.
PRO Yoga Mat
The Manduka PRO Yoga Mat is the Cadillac of yoga mats. Added length means less adjusting during a practice. The comfortable thickness means less floor discomfort during child’s pose. This certainly isn’t the lightest, smallest, or easiest to transport yoga mat on the market, but that’s not the point. It’s the most comfortable and high-quality yoga mat you can find.
Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0
The classic duffle bag always got the job done, but it was always inconvenient in certain ways. Who wants to carry sweaty clothes around or put work clothes in the same bag as shoes? The Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0 from FocusGear fixes all of this. With wet pockets for towels, shoes or soiled gymwear, pockets for water bottles and personal items, and a large opening to avoid the classic duffle bag digging, this bag is a serious game changer — all for under $35.
Cloudpulse Sneakers
Forget gifting these — add them to your own wish list. We love On’s comfort and style here at HSS. The Cloudpulse comes in a smooth frosty white, understated all-black or military-inspired blend of darker greens. This is a pair of shoes that will have you looking great while you feel great working out.
Body Smart Scale
We all know weight isn’t the only, or perhaps even best, indicator of health. It certainly isn’t a complete picture. This new Body Smart Scale from Withings takes you one step deeper by measuring body composition levels and even recording it over time for you. What’s measured can be managed and we all know that fitness guru who has the notebook full of workout notes.
Kore Short
We don’t know how Vuori could improve upon these workout shorts. Comfortable and tough, these 5-inch, 7-inch, or 9-inch inseam shorts come in a variety of colors. The pockets are functional and the quick drying fabric comes in handy for warmer weather or more intense workouts.
Zero Sugar Electrolytes
The right packet of electrolytes for any one person depends on a number of factors including general health, workout goals, schedule, etc. These Zero Sugar Electrolytes from LMNT are popular as a great all-around packet that many have adopted as part of a daily routine. Many electrolytes are packed with sugar, but this variety from LMNT delivers sodium, potassium, and magnesium without the sugar.
The Bottom Line
We are just around the corner from prime workout season. Give that special someone another reason to hit the gym with any of these fitness-focused gifts.
