1. Fitbit Sense:
With a Fitbit Sense, on their wrist, they’ll be walking 10,000 steps even before breakfast. It’s an all-in-one fitness band that tracks heart rate, sleep, stress, skin temperature, and guess what, even ECG!
However, it can be a bit needy with frequent charging, but the wealth of health data it offers should outweigh those calls to the charger.
2. Hydro Flask Water Bottle:
Hydration is a mantra every fitness lover chants. The Hydro Flask Water Bottle serves it cool or hot for hours. However, it’s about as expensive as water bottles come, but nothing says you’re serious about hydration like this.
3. Under Armour Sportsmask:
Because who says you can’t exercise safely in style? Sleek, breathable, and secure, the only downside to this mask is probably having to explain where you bought it — constantly!
4. Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat:
Perfect for the aspiring yogi, only downside, their downward dog might look better than yours.
5. NutriBullet Blender:
Because how else are they supposed to consume their daily requirement of fruits? Fair warning, though, you might just get alerts on a new smoothie recipe every day.
6. Adidas Ultraboost 21:
The sneaker game for fitness buffs is serious stuff. This is a comfortable ultra-responsive shoe that’ll rocket their routine to the next level. On the downside, you may find yourself getting a pair too.
7. LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle:
Yes, a water bottle that bakes the germs out! Just don’t expect it to wash itself too.
8. MasterClass Pass:
Not strictly physical, but an online class from Serena Williams or Stephen Curry might just be the trick. However, dedication to consistent learning is required, and a slight jealousy as your giftee starts to quote famous athletes.
9. AirPods Pro:
Every workout needs theme music. Apple’s latest earbuds aren’t cheap, but they are water and sweat resistant and have great audio quality.
10. Theragun Mini:
A portable deep muscle treatment that packs a wellness punch in a device small enough to fit in their gym bag. Great for muscle recovery, bad for our inability to find a valid reason not to workout.
11. Lumen Metabolism Tracker:
Provides insights about their body’s fuel usage. Nifty, but requires daily breath tests, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
12. Resistance Bands Set:
A full body workout in a small bag. Travel-friendly, but running out of exercise ideas mid-routine can be a pitfall.
13. Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven:
For delicious yet healthy meals. Might make them subject you to bizarre recipes like kale chips and sweet-potato fries.
14. Garmin Forerunner 245:
For the serious runners, a GPS smartwatch that tracks stats in painstaking detail. Rows of data may overwhelm those tech-challenged.
15. Subscription to Headspace:
Because mental health is as important as physical fitness. Downside is they might often find themselves in Zen mode which may require some patience from your end.
16. Oura Ring:
Tracks sleep and activity in style. Only downside is having to hear about how well or poorly they’ve slept.
17. The Mirror:
A personal trainer disguised as chic home decor. A steeper price tag and having to clear up some wall space can be the constraints.
18. Swopper Chair:
For active sitting in their home office. The rolling feature can turn house chores into a fun game, but also could lead to endless
19. YnM Weighted Blanket:
Promotes better sleep. The only issue might be that they may want to stay in bed all day!
20. NOBULL Trainers:

21. Breville Juice Fountain:
Fresh juice with minimal effort. The slight noise could be a minor mood dampener.
22. Kettle Gryp:
For their makeshift gym at home. Downside? Might give them reasons to acquire and lug around more gym equipment.
23. Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells:
Elevate their home gym with these easily adjustable weights. Downside is you might want to stay clear of the floor around them.
24. Powerbeats Pro:
Better for workouts due to the ear hook design, but a shorter battery life than the AirPods.
25. Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
For those knightly joggers. However, they might start chasing every possible nocturnal fitness adventure.
26. PowerPress Push Up – Color Coded Push Up Board:
Adding fun and variety to their push-up game. Just be prepared for impromptu push-up challenges.
27. The Whole 30 Cookbook:
This diet plan cookbook might really start some healthy cooking at home, downside, dessert section is scanty at best.

Perfect for relaxation after a tough workout. However, may render you the official-relaxation-therapist.
29. Inspiralized:
Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals: This could be the perfect way to inspire a veggie lover. But be prepared, Zucchini spaghetti may become a staple.
30. Indoor Herb Garden:
Because fresh herbs jazz up any meal. Downside? Occasional reminders from your giftee to “stop killing Basil.”
31. BuildLife Gallon Water Bottle with Time Marker:
Great motivation to stay hydrated all day, but be prepared for too many bathroom breaks.
32. TRX All-In-One Suspension Training:
An all-round workout from the comfort of home. They might turn any sturdy door into a gym though.
33. Yoga, Wine & Barre Wine Glasses:
Humorous and useful, but they might decide every post-workout deserves a refill.
34. Manduka PRO Yoga Mat:
Praised by yoga teachers worldwide. However, you have now given them the perfect excuse for longer Savasana poses.
35. Ginger and Green Tea Skin Care Set:
For some after-workout self-care. Just take note, bathroom hogging time may significantly increase.
