Need gift ideas for a gym guy?
The gifts of fitness are great. They encourage us to become better versions of ourselves or engage in activities we enjoy. Here are 10 of our favorite things to give a fitness buff to your life (or maybe add to your wish list).
Gen3 Horizon Ring
The Aura Ring needs no introduction as it has a moment. Aura is small, wearable and offers greater technology than other wearables and the social nature of the app creates community and accountability. We all hear about (and learn about) the importance of quality sleep and the sleep score is a useful tool. This should be at the top of the list for any fitness buff without Aura already.
A small massage gun
TheraGuns are perfect for gym rats who spend long hours in the gym and work to improve recovery. They are also great for those who don’t often go to the gym but feel great afterwards. This small, but still very powerful, Mini TheraGun is perfect for traveling, having at home, or hiding in your gym locker.
Wheel Foam Roller
Modern life, with desk chairs, commutes, and phone calls has not been good for back health. Chirp wheel foam rollers, which come in a variety of sizes, provide relief for those with back pain and a really great stretch. Eligible for use with FSA and HSA accounts, consider Chirp your tax-friendly gift idea.
Shaker Bottle Pro Series
“Are you lifting again, bro?” There will be no doubt that you are lifting with a BlenderBottle in hand. A simple, quick way to prepare a protein shake comes in a variety of colors and sizes. These also work great for iced coffee on the go as they are easy to carry to work, class, or errands. Some even use these to mix 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. More length means less adjustment during practice. Comfortable thickness means less discomfort during baby’s position. This is certainly not the smallest, lightest, or easiest to transport yoga mat on the market, but that’s not the point. The most comfortable and highest quality yoga mat you can find.
The Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0
The classic duffle bag always got the job done, but it always got in the way in some ways. Who wants to carry sweaty clothes or work clothes in the same bag as shoes? The Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0 from FocusGear fixes all this. With wet pockets for towels, dirty shoes or gym clothes, pockets for water bottles and personal items, and a large opening to avoid digging through a classic duffle bag, this bag is a serious game changer – all for under $35.
Cloudpulse Sneakers
Forget giving these away – add them to ityourswish list. We love the comfort and style of On here at HSS. The Cloudpulse comes in a combination of smooth icy white, black or military-inspired dark green. These are shoes that will make you look good while feeling good about working out.
Body Smart Scale
We all know that weight is not the only, or perhaps the best, indicator of health. It is by no means a complete picture. This new Smart Body Scale from Wings takes you one step deeper by measuring your body composition levels and even recording them over time. Weights are manageable and we all know that fitness guru with a notebook full of workout notes.
Kore Short
We don’t know how Vuori can improve in these workout shorts. Comfortable and durable, 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 warm weather or intense exercise.
Zero Sugar Electrolytes
The optimal electrolyte package for any individual depends on many factors including general health, exercise goals, schedule, etc. These Zero Sugar Electrolytes from LMNT are popular as an excellent pack that many use as part of a daily lifestyle. Most electrolytes are full of sugar, but this variety from LMNT delivers sodium, potassium, and magnesium.outsidesugar.
The Bottom Line
We are approaching the season of exercise. Give that special someone another reason to hit the gym with any of these fitness-focused gifts.
