25 best fitness gifts for the most active people in your life

Adjustable kettlebells aren't just a modern iteration of a classic piece of workout equipment, they're far more practical, too. With the SelectTech 840 Kettlebell from Bowflex, you can adjust the weight from 8 to 40 pounds, giving you access to six different kettlebells. For the person on your list building out their home gym, this is as good an addition as anything.

The Oura Ring is unlike any wearable on the market, going above and beyond the typical fitness tracker experience by offering wearers highly customized data regarding their sleep patterns and efficiency, daily activity, blood oxygen levels, and heart rate. And instead of offering all this information without actionable insight, its companion app guides users on how to make positive changes. Plus, it's available in a variety of colors to match anyone's personal style.

The Theragun Mini is the best entry level massage gun on the market, as it packs quite a percussive punch in a relatively small package.

Part resistance band, part barbell, the Gorilla Bow is a unique workout system that's a great addition to any home gym. Each Gorilla Bow comes with an assortment of attachable resistance bands that allow for workouts like banded benchpress, deadlifts, overhead press, and a ton more. Plus, the collapsible design of the Travel version makes it a great travel companion, too.

Popular in both fitness and fashion circles, a pair of trainers from Hoka is a no-brainer. Whether you're giving these Torrent 2 trail runners to someone who will actually wear them on outdoor runs, or someone who just wants some stylish footwear, they're a great gifting choice regardless. They're available in seven different colorways and a full size run for both women and men.

Chubbies has made a name for itself selling apparel with a variety of fun prints, and these training shorts are no different. But they're more than just a pair of shorts with some flair — they're also a supportive, comfortable, and functional pair of workout bottoms. They also feature an anti-chafe boxer brief liner, an interior pocket for storing a phone or credit cards, and four-way stretch material that makes them perfect for running, cycling, or lifting weights.

Weighted vests for workouts are having a moment, and one the most versatile options on the market is from Omorpho. Called the G-Vest+, this vest features the brand's signature weighted design that doesn't require you to stuff weight plates into it like other workout vests do. And the weight is distributed across the entire garment, so you won't feel too weighed down in any one spot. The G-Vest+ is available in 5 and 10 lbs versions, and is a great gift for the fitness enthusiast looking to add some intensity to their weekly routine.

Training with a sandbag helps build strength, stability, and balance better than traditional dumbbells. They'll feel the results doing everyday tasks like carrying groceries, lifting awkward objects off the floor, or moving furniture. This sandbag from GoRuck is one of our favorites as it's durably built, features heavy duty, padded handles, and has quality filler bags that won't leak sand everywhere.

One of the biggest concerns with outfitting a spare room into a home gym is what to do with the flooring. If it's anything other than carpet, picking up and dropping weights can do some serious damage to surfaces like hardwood, linoleum, or tile. This is where the Anji MTX exercise platform can help relieve those fears. Available in a variety of sizing options, this workout flooring turns any home gym into a bonafide weight room. Whether its to soften the impact of heavy weights or to serve as a platform for something like an exercise bike, every home gym needs an Anji MTX setup.

The Jabra Elite 7 Active earbuds have the same excellent audio quality as their more expensive counterpart, the Jabra Elite Pro. But unlike the Elite Pro, they don't get slippery when wet making them a great fitness earbud for those intense, sweaty workouts. They also come with 8 hours of battery life, a charging case with 30 hours battery life, and active noise cancellation so you can drown out that loud gym music.

The Amazon Halo View offers two very distinct experiences: the basic, no-frills on-wrist experience and the innovative, in-depth app experience. On-wrist, the tracker counts things like steps and calories burned while also offering the ability to log exercises like runs or bike rides. But the app is the true star of the show, offering everything from meal advice and workout inspiration to body composition evaluations and sleep analysis. It's an innovative wearable that's as intriguing as anything else on the market.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 may be one of the brand's least expensive running watches, but it still comes with a number of features including PacePro, Recovery Time, running track mode, and much more. So if you have a fitness friend who's just getting into running and doesn't need all the bells and whistles of the high-end options like the Garmin Forerunner 935, then this is a great gift.

Boxing has a number of benefits including improved balance, coordination, and agility. But if you don't have space in your place for a heavy bag, the Quiet Punch is a great alternative because you can set it up inside any doorway. You can also download the Quiet Punch Play App that offers over 500 drills, boxing challenges, and on-demand classes. But best of all, the app actually counts your punches in real-time so you can easily track your speed and progress.

Bone broth is packed with protein, making it ideal for people who are trying to build muscle. But bone broth is sometimes tricky to add to a standard diet, which is where bone broth protein comes in. Add it to smoothies or shakes for that extra protein boost. One scoop contains 80 calories and 20 grams of protein. Just remember — and this may go without saying — bone broth is not vegetarian or vegan-friendly. However, there are plenty of vegan protein powder options if you're in the market.

In addition to reducing the risk of blood clots, Comrad claims that their compression socks can help you feel more energetic. Compression socks work by fitting snugly around your feet and calves to help promote blood flow. We tried them out and thought, given their snug fit, they were still comfortable. They were also stylish and helped relieve some muscle soreness from a previous day's run.

Tracksmith's apparel combines classic designs with versatile functionality to deliver some of the best running clothing on the market. Its Van Cortlandt Tee is one of our go-to tops as it features a lightweight mesh that's comfortable and breathable, and comes in a relaxed fit that doesn't feel too restrictive, especially on longer runs. We love the vintage sash design on the front, too.

When the weather turns from balmy sunshine to wet and windy, you need gear designed to withstand that changing of the elements. The Lightweight Tech Jacket from Ten Thousand does exactly that, able to keep wind and rain at bay while remaining lightweight enough to not feel like it's weighing you down. It's made using stretch fabric that's comfortable and doesn't chafe and features two-way zippers that add to its versatility. Plus, it can pack down into itself for easy portability.

Any fan of dumbbells can appreciate NordicTrack's adjustable dumbbell set. Choose from a wide variety of weights that range from 10-55 pounds. What makes this dumbbell set so convenient is that it offers 15 different weight options but only requires one set of dumbbells. So what would typically require 15 separate dumbbell sets is all combined into one set with the NordicTrack's select-a-weight set. Just adjust the dumbbell weights to whatever you like, similar to a barbell where you add more weight.

Although you can technically run in normal workout or training shorts, wearing legit running shorts like this pair from Bandit Running makes a world of difference. Made with a combination of nylon and lycra, the Litewave Splitty Run Short is lightweight, doesn't chafe, and features an elastic waistband that stays comfortable no matter how many miles you cover. It also has a built-in brief liner for added comfort and hidden pockets to stash things like energy gels. 

Fanny Packs have always been useful, but they've recently become trendy, too. Whether running errands or a race, your giftee can conveniently store all of their essentials in this brightly colored, convenient hip pack.

The Vuori Daily Legging is an excellent gift for working out and working from home alike. Our style and beauty team is particularly fond of the leggings' softness and flattering cuts.

This massager — with its three different  speed and strength levels and two massage directions — is sure to be a welcome addition to any recovery routine. There's also a soothing infrared heat function, and it comes with a car charger and a portable carry bag.

The OOahh Slide Sandal are the perfect lounging footwear because they'll be the most comfortable shoes they own. They're ideal for recovery days or short walks, and they'll appreciate the welcome softness after a long day on their feet.

Many athletes spend lots of time on their feet, so they'll be especially grateful for a foot massager. This particular model is heated, features air compression, and can improve blood circulation.
