A gift guide for the fitness enthusiast in your life
Do you have a fitness lover in your life who needs an extra special gift this year? The great thing about buying fitness-related gifts is that there are so many options, but from time to time, we all need a little inspiration, don’t we?
Take a look at some of the gift ideas I think will go down well for any fitness enthusiast in your life.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers, often seen as a cheat’s way out or a lazy gift, can actually be a powerful tool for the discerning gift-giver. If the person you’re buying for has something specific they want, a particular brand they like, then a gift card can help you give them what they want while still allowing them to pick their present. The flexibility of gift vouchers, available for most places, means that even if you’re unsure what to buy, you can still give them the gift of choice. Whether they want womens tennis clothes from adidas but you don’t know their size, a gift voucher can be a great alternative, or they need new mens tracksuits, a gift voucher enables them to get what they need from a retailer they love.
Memberships
Memberships offer a world of possibilities for the fitness enthusiast. It can cover gym memberships, at health clubs. It can be a season ticket to their favourite sports team, it could be an online membership to a club or PT coaching programme, a subscription box membership to a sports themed box or even a nutrition box that meets their nutritional needs while they pursue their fitness endeavours. The variety of memberships available ensures there’s something for every type of fitness lover.

Relaxation Gifts
Active people need time to rest and allow their body to recuperate. This is where the thoughtful gift of relaxation or therapy gifts comes in. Whether you opt for an at home massage gun or chair, a massage or spa day, or you take things one step further by investing in an ice bath for cold dips post workouts, the therapeutic side can open up more gifts ideas that your fitness lover will definitely appreciate. These gifts show that you care about their well-being as much as their fitness goals.
Fitness Tracker
Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes and have a range of different feathers. From the basic step counting watches to the more complex run-tracking apps that monitor everything form your stride to your heart rate, stress levels, and more to waterproof options, you can wear when swimming and everything in between. If they already have one, an upgrade could be on the cards or buying new straps or other accessories can be a great option, too.
Equipment
Equipment is a loose term, and that’s because the kind of equipment we are talking about can depend on the way they indulge in fitness.
For a footballer, football boots, socks, kit bags, etc., are all great gifts. For the weight lifter in the family, gloves, belts, barefoot shoes, etc., are all great accessories or pieces of equipment to purchase. Runners might need vests, water bottles, reflective clothing or accessories for nighttime running and so on. Yoga mats, pilates equipment, fitness balls, dumbbells, stationary bikes, walking pads, and even swimming caps are all great ideas to add to your list of potential presents, too.
Hopefully this list is helpful and has given you some inspiration. There are some great gift ideas for fitness lovers here to point you in the right direction.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.
