Navigation & Fitness Tracking Insoles – $70

This is the first of a few truly phenomenal pieces of smart wearable technology that have come out recently and that would make a fantastic present for the fit person in your life. These insoles and buckles aren’t just activity trackers, but they also have the unique benefit of vibrating to help you navigate to wherever you want to go. You simply pair the buckles to your phone and then start walking and let the insoles guide you with vibration.

Speed Sled – $95

Weighted sled training is and should always be an integral part of an athletes training for speed, power, and explosiveness. Unfortunately if an athlete is not at a gym that has a sled they are missing out on all of the benefits. This sled is one of the cheapest options available and is made to last.

Fitness Tracking Belt – $150

Immediately back to another piece of wearable technology. It has come a long way and we’re glad it’s made it this far because this fitness tracking belt is awesome. Most wearable technology is on the wrist which is typically ok until it gets scratched or cracked, since this technology is embedded in a belt it is very unlikely to break. Do you want it? Yes. But do you need it? Also yes.

Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide – $40

If you’re not familiar with Olympic Weightlifting you might think that as long as you have natural strength that you’ll be ok, but in reality there are hundreds of things you have to learn ranging from mobility to accessory. As an olympic lifter myself I already have this book and have been following Greg Everett’s programs for a while now.

YIANNA Women’s Crossback Padded Sports bra – $18

This crossback sports bra is a fantastic gift for any women that enjoys high intensity workouts and a lot of running and yoga. With a sexy design in the back and stable padding in the front this bra could give a great boost of energy to the woman wearing it. Just make sure you wear sunscreen with it outside or you’ll end up with some crazy tanlines.

Wireless Smart Scale – $150

Want to know if you’re burning fat and gaining muscle? QardioBase smart scale makes it possible, QardioBase measures your weight, BMI, body fat %, muscle, water and bone mass.

World’s Strongest Coffee – $19

Some days you just don’t feel like going to the gym, you’re not motivated, you’ve had a long day, and you’re tired. And that’s ok, but after having a cup of this coffee you’ll never feel like that again. For those of you that have outgrown even the double shot nitro brew, this is the coffee for you. Oh, and its organic.

Headband Headphones – $100

Now this is cool! A headband that also doubles as wireless headphones. Originally intended for sleeping and traveling, these headbands can also be used during workouts to listen to music without getting tangled in wires. This page has been personally bookmarked for future references.

Personal Speed Timer – $199

This is easily one of the coolest products I have ever seen and will most definitely be purchasing one in the next couple of days. This wearable timer pairs up with your phone to track your sprint speed as accurately as any laser timer while being thousands of dollars less expensive. With this timer there is now no need to have someone inaccurately record your sprint times with a stopwatch, you can have all your results recorded right on the app.

This is a necessary gift for any field athlete.

Vitamins for Hangovers – $38

Know someone that loves to workout but that also loves to drink, or perhaps works out just so they can drink? Well you’re in luck, because now you can get them the gift that keeps on giving. Give them the opportunity to hit a morning workout just hours after they stumbled home drunk.

Alarm Clock Rug – $70

Perhaps you or your friend struggle to make early morning workouts as much as you love them, but you find yourselves hitting the snooze too many times when the bed is so comfortable. This alarm clock rug makes sure that you get up because once the alarm rings it isn’t shutting off until you stand on the rug for at least 3 seconds.

Neck Massager – $38

Why pay close to one hundred dollars on a single massage when you can spend a fraction of that on a personal massage device that you can use everyday? This massager is versatile as seen in the pictures above and has a great battery life.

Face down Tanning Chair – $56

Most women agree its not enough to just be fit, you also have to be tan. This lounge chair allows you to tan your backside comfortably without having to get a kink in your neck or have your face in the sand. This chair is also a great thing to have when you want to take a quick nap without the sun glaring in your eyes.

Rogue Echo Bike – $750

If you have the opportunity to spend a little bit more lavishly, this is what you want to spend your money on. Although it is $750, the echo bike by Rogue is perhaps the best piece of fitness equipment that you can buy. For anyone that has ever used a bike like this, you know just how brutal the workouts on this thing are, but you also see how fast the results to your fitness are.

Fat Gripz – $29

The perfect stocking stuffer or inexpensive present for any man you know looking to improve the size of their forearms. These simple rubber grip trainers fit on any size bar to increase the width and allow the person to train their forearms simultaneously while doing various exercises.

Rogue Ohio Barbell – $282

Been wanting to get a barbell for your home gym, but don’t want to spend over $1,000? The Ohio Bar built by Rogue is used by almost every Crossfit gym in the United States and only cost a fraction of the price of an Eleiko bar while still being an exceptional product. This bar will have normal “whip” during Olympic weightlifting and enough stiffness to hold for heavy powerlifting. The steel in this bar is proven as an excellent choice for weightlifters.

Black + White Web Design Leggings – $30

No fit woman would ever agree that they have too many leggings, in fact they would probably argue that they don’t have enough! Instead of spending $1oo on a pair of Lululemon leggings, you can get the same quality with a great design for only $30. These leggings also come in the reverse design with a black background and white stripes.

Electric Shaker Bottle – $40

Usually getting a shaker bottle as a gift wouldn’t be all that exciting as most people already have at least one. This shaker however is electric and is able to blend your shake better than any steel ball ever could. It also happens to be USB rechargeable, meaning you can charge it from your laptop.

King Kong Gym Bag – $140

Know someone that still carries all of their gym gear in a tiny little backpack? This King Kong gym bag is large enough to store everything someone would need for a workout session, including specific pockets for 2 pairs of shoes. Although the bag is large, it is just the right size to avoid being too big and bulky.

Ropeless Jump Rope – $26

This is one of the most creative fitness products I have seen in a long time and think that its a perfect gift for almost anyone. With this jump rope you never have to worry about the rope getting tangled or whipping you in the leg, and you don’t have to worry about the rope getting frayed because there is no rope. This product also has a digital countdown timer that notifies you when you hit a certain time limit or number of reps.

Since there is no rope you can get your cardio in anywhere, even on surfaces like sand where you couldn’t with a regular rope.

Flat Weighted Vest – $260

One of the best ways to add intensity to a conditioning workout is to simply add a weight vest. Most weight vests however are filled with multiple pill shaped weights that make the vest bulky and uncomfortable, but these weight vests use two flat rectangular shaped weights for the front and back that make the vest slim and easy to run with. The price may be a bit more than other weight vests available, but you definitely get what you pay for.

HYPERICE HYPERVOLT – $349

You may think $350 is way too much for essentially a personal wireless massager, so heres a review. “I was the guy looking at this product thinking like dang am I really about to spend $350 on essentially a handheld massage tool. Well get this: BEST MONEY EVER SPENT. I am a casual guy that lives a casual life and my life has already improved immensely in only having this a week or two and using casually daily. I took it on a golf trip with my dad and upon return he has already ordered one of his own and is a casual man in his 60’s. You don’t have to be a fitness guru to find use in this. If you just wanna feel better and relieve aches pains and daily body tensions, this is for you. I paid $350 for it but honestly would pay up to $500 knowing what I know now.”

Organized Fitness Journal – $23

This journal is completely organized and filled with content that lets you track your progress in each area of training. It has space for you to write down your daily workouts in the bulk of the book, but it also has weight conversions, tips, motivational quotes, and weekly stat pages to remind you its time to retest a goal. At only $23 this is a great gift choice without spending a lot of money.

Magnetic Tripod with Camera Shutter Control – $24

This magnetic tripod can be latched onto or wrapped around most surfaces in order to get the perfect picture or video. Another great thing about this tripod is that it comes with a remote control that can be connected to your iOS or Android phone in order to take a picture without having to be near your phone. People love to take pictures and videos of their workouts, but often have to ask someone to film awkwardly or film from the floor. This tripod fixes that.

Best Selling Wireless Headphones – $35

With 20 hours of wireless use between charges these headphones are one of the best gifts someone could ask for. These just so happen to be the #1 best selling wireless headphones on Amazon with over 15,000 positive reviews and they are only $35!

Giant Yard Pong – $50

This is not just for people who love to workout, but instead for all people who want to have a good time at their next gathering. This giant version of beer pong is a great gift for people who throw parties often.

Crossfit Grips + Wrist Guard – $40

These hand grips are used by Crossfitters all around the world to protect their hands from tearing while doing pull-ups, muscle-ups, or anything else on a bar. They also have a built in wrist guard to prevent wrist injuries when olympic lifting and also keeping the grip nice and secured.

GoPro Active Camera – $292

Most outdoor adventurers want a GoPro camera, they just don’t have the money to afford one, thats why you’re here to buy it for them. The GoPro is completely life-proof and well designed to be able to capture any intense workout or travel. This camera is also the best option for time lapse video as it fits well onto helmets.

Glow In The Dark Soccer Ball – $23

The night no longer controls when you’re done practicing. This is a great gift for people who tend to train at night or for nighttime parties. Since this ball uses LED for its lighting there is no need to worry about having to wait for the sun to activate it, it turns on automatically.

George Foreman Grill – $69

This may not necessarily seem like a gift specific for people who love to workout, but it most definitely is. The more you workout the more you need to eat, and the Foreman grill is one of the easiest ways to cook healthy food at home.

Calf and Foot Massager – $200

Anyone that does a lot of jumping, running, or lifting would love to have this gift in their possession as calves and feet get very tight very quickly and could eventually start causing problems upstream. I don’t know of a single person on earth that would dislike this gift.

Leather Olympic Lifting Belt – $115

Yes its expensive for a weightlifting belt, but products of quality typically are. You will pay a couple dollars extra up front but you will be confident that you made the right choice. This is the best belt on the market today.

The Squat Bible – $26

The foundation of any athletes leg strength is the squat. This book goes in great detail on how to perform a perfect squat and how to get stronger. If you can master the squat you can put yourself miles ahead of other competitors.

02 Endurance Trainer – $60

Such a simple device yet so effective at the same time. This 02 trainer created by ex-MMA fighter Bas Rutten is designed to restrict the air flow that you breathe in to replicate training in a high altitude environment in order to drastically improve your endurance and conditioning. Each week the breathing hole gets smaller and smaller and your lungs get stronger and stronger.

Foldable Skateboard – $190

This skateboard is great for someone who lives close to their gym or school and would rather skate than drive to get a little bit of a workout in. This board has a smooth ride and the capability to fold up and fit inside a backpack. Especially great for people who love the beach.

Fitness & Sleep Tracking Waterproof Ring – $200

If you’re not a fan of the fitness tracking belt or watch this ring might be the best option for you. This ring works just like many of the other activity trackers available except that its waterproof and less bulky. This ring tracks sleep, calories burned, steps, and heart rate.

Sweat Proof T-Shirt – $33

Another product I currently own myself, these sweat-proof shirts are designed to be worn as undershirts but they can also be worn at the gym to prevent too many sweat stains. These shirts come with flexible armpit pads that block sweat from soaking your shirt. Shirts are available for men and women in black, grey, and white.

Chair Goalposts – $135

 

Start a football game wherever you are with these fold-up chair goalposts. This is another fun game idea for a group of friends to play at the beach or at a tailgate. Instead of sitting down all day, get some exercise by playing some football.

Pocket Shower – $26

People who love to workout typically love to hike as well and when you go on long adventure hikes you’re going to get sweaty. This nifty little pocket shower gives you the ability to take about a 7 minute shower wherever you’re at. It may not be the most luxurious of gifts but it definitely is interesting.

Solar Powered Charger – $99

Staying with our hikers and outdoorsy people, here’s another product they would really love. This solar powered device charger can be charged from the sun by clipping it onto your backpack during your hikes and by the time you sit down you can use the energy to charge your devices.

Basketball Shot Tracker – $132

ShotTracker has 3 components: a wrist sensor, a net sensor and the App. When you shoot, the wrist sensor captures the shot attempt. The net sensor captures whether the shot was made or missed, and the results are sent to your mobile device where the ShotTracker App stores all your shooting stats.

Waterproof Socks – $24

Usually getting socks for someone means that you probably don’t like them that much. When you get them these however, it is a different story. These waterproof socks are a great stocking stuffer or general inexpensive gift for active people.

Glow in the Dark Womens Sneakers – $63

With the iridescent scales included in these shoe’s design you can run at night without having to worry if people can see you or not. And during the day you just look great. They also have a thick foam base to protect your joints from too much hurting while you run.

Barefoot Running Shoes – $49

The ideal combination of ground feedback and protection, the KSO evo allows wearers to experience terrain with great grip and flexibility. Less than 5 millimeters, the thin sole encourages good form while still durable enough to absorb shock.

Weightlifting Bumper Plates – $165+

If you have the money to spend, many athletes would love to have a couple sets of these weights for their home gym. If you’re unfamiliar with these plates they are able to be dropped from any height and not crack or break since they are made of rubber and not steel, allowing you to practice the olympic lifts.

Mobility Ball – $40

Is it a mobility ball that costs $40? Yes. Is it worth every dollar? Yes. The ridges on this ball give it a texture unlike any of the other mobility balls out there and because of that this ball is able to tack apart your fascia and loosen up your muscles faster than a foam roller.

Indoor Rower – $900

The Concept 2 Rower provides one of the more comprehensive, full-body workouts of any fitness machine. Engineered to last a lifetime, it’s low impact enough for use in physical rehabilitation centers, and intensive enough to be used by the world’s fittest athletes.

Glute Ham Developer – $545

Along with strengthening muscles within the posterior chain, GHD training allows one of the only safe ways to actively train your spinal erectors. GHD sit-ups also result in one of the most powerful abdominal contractions of any movement in the gym. The midline stabilization gained acts like an intrinsic weight belt protecting the spine.

Home Gym Timer – $269

You can save up to 10 custom programs on the timer at any given time, and the included remote allows individuals to pause, mute or reprogram the device right from their work station. Change the number of rounds, length of rest, and length of work as you see fit, or adjust from a countdown to a count-up option. There are even several unique preset modes available to jump right into, including the Tabata Timer and “Fight Gone Bad” Timer.

Short Resistance Bands – $6.50-$18.50

In my opinion these are one of the best ways to activate your gluten and hamstrings for a heavy lifting session. By placing these around your knees and then going through your warmup you will be training your body to use the correct muscles instead of relying on your back.

And thats our list! Hopefully you were able to find what you were looking for!
