28 Best Gifts for Fitness Lovers To Fire Up Your Active Friend

Wearing a muscle shirt isn’t only for showcasing the physique of one’s hard-earned body. It’s good for working out to see which parts need to be targeted more. But still, if your friend really only wants to flaunt their muscles, there’s no problem with that either! They deserve it, and remember, feeling good physically leads to a mental boost too.

This bottle serves as a thoughtful reminder for our active friends who forget to drink their water. Yes, there’s a rule that applies to everyone in which we need to consume eight glasses of water a day. However, if someone’s day is filled with activity and increased sweating, they need to drink more!

Careful now, you might accidentally pick this water bottle up instead of your 30-pound weights. It’s a funny yet well-thought-out design. If you noticed the handle, it also has this texture that lets the user comfortably grip the bottle. It’s a great gift for friends who always work out at the gym.

No, this isn’t just some basic towel that’s packed in a fancy bag. It’s a multi-functional one that cools you off even during an intense workout. It can be used as a bandana, a neck wrap, or as a fever-reducing patch for someone who’s sick. It’s a simple yet thoughtful present for those into strength training and tireless workout sessions.

The most important part of any form of workout is a good few minutes of warming up! Its purpose is to avoid injury, increase the body’s core and muscle temperature, as well as to mentally prepare the athlete for a session of exercise. It’s basic but still neglected by some. This gift is ideal for effective stretching and improved flexibility.

Funny how this keychain can be interpreted in two ways. If you’re an athlete or enjoy a certain sport, chances are you’re extremely muscular, or have experienced at least one sprain or swelling in your life. This is a hilarious gift you can give those who at some point have experienced the same struggle as you in their fitness journey.

The thing about Total Body Resistance Exercise, or TRX, is that people only get to train where the required equipment is available. This is usually in gyms which charge a membership fee per month. Surprise your fitness friends with a portable trainer kit (which by the way promotes easy set up) so they can enjoy their favorite workout anytime, anywhere.

If you’ve tried doing ab wheel exercises, I’m sure you’ve felt that uncomfortable slipping and sliding in between repetitions. This one is made with added resistance and assistance, which means a more comfortable day dedicated to your abs! It’s a gift that’ll make any fitness enthusiast want to skip all other exercises and jump to their ab workout.

HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. It’s a challenging form of workout, yet it’s also super effective. People can build from low-impact full body HIIT to more advanced routines paired with cardio exercises. Whichever level they’re at, they’ll surely enjoy turning it into a game like what’s offered by these cards. It’s perfect for game nights with your competitive relatives!

An empty workout space can feel bleak and lonely. A good way to amp up your studio, garage or wherever you prefer to exercise, is to place motivational posters that are bold and hard to miss. It’s an ideal gift for friends who are struggling with their fitness journey. Remind them it’s ok to take breaks and start again tomorrow!

This comes in different strength levels–light, medium and heavy. It’s important that when doing band exercises, such as squats or arm workouts for toned muscle, one must not force a level of resistance that they can’t tolerate. Again, some exercises are better done with more repetition rather than increased difficulty. This gift will prevent your loved ones from getting injured.

Fitness enthusiasts have their favorite workout day, muscle group, and of course equipment for specific goals. The kettlebell is a versatile type of free weight that can be challenging for others, especially since it requires strength and balance. Some hate it, some don’t. For kettlebell lovers that you know, this will surely be their favorite mug–and you, their favorite friend!

It’s hard to keep track of data related to your physical health when you alternate between different scales that give slightly off readings. It’s important to calibrate one’s instruments to maintain accuracy when monitoring their health. This scale works in connection with fitness apps, making it a hassle-free experience for the recipient to watch their progress.

It’s not ideal to always bring your phones especially during intense activities like biking, hiking or simply walking. The Fitbit was designed with a built-in GPS to track the user’s pace and distance for any type of fitness workout. It even monitors heart rate, and is a great gift for fitness lovers who like keeping track of their progress.

The best thing about this that kettlebell lovers will be thrilled to discover, is it can turn any dumbbell into a kettlebell! So for those who are always on the go, and love trying out different gyms and studios, this is the perfect companion to have so they can perform their favorite exercises without the fear of having limited equipment.

This is a great gift that’s not limited to gyms and workout settings. It actually works as an ergonomic chair too, which your friends or relatives suffering from back pain will appreciate. It helps boost energy levels even when they’re only sitting down, which increases productivity while also exercising and engaging the mind.

There are routes we take when walking, biking or running that’s really dark or only faintly lit. While some people don’t realize it, it’s actually a dangerous activity that can lead to injuries and related accidents. This armband will protect your loved ones from approaching cars and bikers, and is an ideal gift especially if they love exercising at night.

One of the most exciting parts of any fitness journey is when we get to write down our progress, and see results from a few months of exercise–or maybe even just a week of consistent workout! This minimalist notebook is a great gift for those fitness friends who like planning their routines, as well as those who are into journaling.

Start your children young by letting them experience the gym life with equipment that’s lightweight and cautiously designed to ensure safety as they play. It works out fine motor skills in very young children, and even comes with a soft wearable headband so they could match their parents’ gym outfits.

Muscle pain can visit us anytime, anywhere! This is even more common in people who spend most of their time working out. Back massagers are always a thoughtful gift appreciated by our active and athletic friends, because of the comfort and convenience they provide. It’ll save them from an otherwise expensive trip to the spa.

Gym buddies aren’t always available to train with us. There are days we work out by ourselves, which is normal because we need to be independent that way! For dancers and athletes who are used to having a stretching partner pre- and post-workout, this is a great gift that’ll help them reach areas they didn’t even know they could stretch.

Trying a headstand for the first time can be daunting for those who are scared of hitting the floor. It’s understandable. I mean, who likes turning their bodies upside down anyway when they’re unsure of falling? This headstand bench is an ideal gift for beginners and advanced students alike. It also works as a yoga chair to support specific poses.

Drinking a few bottles of beer after a good workout feels great because it’s well-deserved. Sometimes the food and drinks we consume post-workout even taste better, don’t you agree? These dumbbell-shaped glasses will make those sessions hilarious, more fun and worthwhile. It’s even labeled so to make sure we only drink in moderation with our friends and relatives.

Did you know that some fitness maniacs actually use equipment to simulate high altitudes in the gym to cut their workout time in half? It sounds crazy but yes, it’s a thing! Make sure that your friends and relatives are doing this safely, by gifting them this mask that’ll let them breathe efficiently as they work to reach unmatched endurance.

If you’ve spent a good month or two at the gym, you probably noticed the weightlifting dudes and dudettes perspiring liters of sweat in a short amount of time. This shirt is conveniently gray (meaning that it shows obvious sweating). Hence, it’s a hilarious gift which will “track” their progress as they sweat out in the gym!

Certain workouts become eventually boring when you do the same thing over and over. An exciting way to spice up your HIIT workout is to gamify the experience and share the competition with your friends. The dice has 36 unique exercises applicable to all ages, from young athletes to your physically fit grandparents!

This is a versatile gift that’s useful not only for running but also other sports like biking. It’s dangerous to hold your phone in your hands anyway while you do extreme exercises, so what better way to bring it other than to mount it on a reliable armband? It’s a thoughtful gift for fitness friends who are also into multi-tasking.
