Holiday Gift Guide for the Fitness Enthusiast
The holidays can be a hectic time of year between buying work, family and holiday gifts. Gifts for health and fitness enthusiasts can be challenging to navigate if you’ve got no clue about the world of health and fitness.
I love health and fitness, and receiving a gift related to health and fitness would be my favorite thing.

Health and Fitness Related Gift
Hair Ties
These are the best hair ties that hold up to any workout without leaving that dreaded hair tie dent. I love them to keep my hair in place even during the most brutal HIIT session.
Gym Bag
Vera Bradley has so many different patterns that change seasonally. The ReActive material is made from recycled bottles that are washable and durable, making it the perfect bag for any gym goer.
Activewear
Fabletics Leggings
All new VIP members of Fabletics get two leggings for $24. The Powerhold leggings are my absolute favorite leggings ever. They are super comfortable, compressive, and flexible in all the best ways. After signing up, you either have to shop or skip each month. If you don’t do either, you will be charged a $49.99 applied to your account as a credit. Read my blog post about my Favorite Activewear.
For example, these are my favorite styles
Leggings: Define PowerHold® High-Waisted 7/8 Legging
Sports Bra: Oasis Twist Sports Bra or All Day Everyday Bra
Rather than having a whole new product each month, they release these same styles in limited edition styles and colors.
I still have the leggings from the beginning; they are so thin compared to what they sell now. I use them as a base layer for sleeping when backpacking in the high country for warmth. They have held up, so the quality has been there since the beginning.
My Referral Link will give you 2 pairs of leggings for $24! I highly recommend Fabletics to anyone! It would be best if you remembered to skip every month, or you will be charged a fee for your membership. You do receive a credit for using it toward any item or outfit. I set a reminder for the 1st of every month so that I remember to go in and skip.

Meal Delivery Service
HelloFresh is one of my favorite meal delivery services. You can choose from various options, including calorie-friendly, vegetarian, fish-free, pork and chicken only, and many more options. HelloFresh is the perfect gift for the fitness enthusiast still learning to cook. Growing up, I didn’t know how to cook, so I lacked basic cooking skills. After a year of getting HelloFresh deliveries and learning more about nutrition, I can take a recipe and choose healthier options to create nutritious meals that align with my fitness goals. Read my post about HelloFresh for my full review.
Wireless Bluetooth Earphones
They are my go-to for any workout at the gym. I had some Apple Airpod Pro earphones that didn’t hold up like the Powerbeats Pro wireless Bluetooth earphones. The Airpod Pros constantly fell out of my ears, while the Powerbeats Pro never fall out. So, even in the most demanding HIIT workout, you won’t lose your earphones. I highly recommend Powerbeats Pro over Airpod Pro if you want high-quality earphones. I have had my Beats for four and a half years, and they are still strong. Battery life has dwindled, but overall still so good!
Honorable mentions:
Open Ear Bone Conduction Headphones
Foam Roller
Foam rollers can be a lifesaver for sore muscles. By using a foam roller to relax the tension and roll out the lactic acid from sore muscles, a gym enthusiast can focus on recovery so they never miss a day in the gym.
Fitness Trackers
Smart watches can be great options for anyone, especially a fitness enthusiast. Smartwatches track your daily activity and so much more!
Smart Watch Accessories
Do you know someone who already has a smartwatch? Give them a replacement smart watch band. There are so many options to choose from. You could even add a watch band to your smartwatch gift, too.
Fitness Class Gift Cards
Class passes or gift cards to their favorite massage place, yoga studio, cycle studio, or other favorite fitness class. Some studios may sell merchandise that gift cards can be used towards merch and classes. There are so many local options, so maybe your fitness-loving loved one hasn’t discovered any local classes, and your gift can introduce them to something new!
Class Pass can help provide various options, but make sure there are options in your town!
Fitness App Subscription
This one is similar to fitness class gift cards. Many fitness apps have subscription options that any fitness enthusiast would love to receive as a gift.
Yoga Mat
Yoga mats can be the perfect gift for the yoga lover and for doing home workouts.
Blender
Blenders are an excellent option for those who love making home smoothies.
Winter Running Gear
Travel Skin Care Kit
This would be a to throw into the gym bag to maintain a good skincare routine even at the gym.
