What to Get Your Fitness-Obsessed Friends For the Holidays

Christmas is right around the corner and soon enough, we’ll be scrambling to get gifts for our friends and families—and maybe even ourselves! This list was created with the fitness lover in mind, from the newbie all the way to the expert. 

You Look Fit Towel ($29.99)

We sometimes take sweat towels for granted when we start a workout—but when we’re finishing up (with perspiration dripping down our faces!), it’s all we can think about. Get the gift your gym-loving friend doesn’t know she needs—and why not opt for a cute one that keeps her feeling good all workout long? 

Jabra Sports Pulse ($159.99)

Finding the right headphones for your workout can be a pain. Your cord gets caught on the handle of the elliptical, or you accidentally rip the buds from your ears mid-run. Jabra has the answer: wireless, Bluetooth-compatible earbuds that actually stay in your ears as you hit the treadmill belt or pavement. Plus, they have an app to help track your run, heart rate and music! 

S’well Waterbottle ($35)


From academic classes to fitness classes, this water bottle keeps water cold up to 24 hours! Plus, it’s easy to clean and there is no condensation on the outside, so if you travel with it in your bags, the items will stay dry. S’well bottles come in all different colors, but we’re currently obsessed with everything from the Glitter Collection, like this iridescent color—Smokey Eye, it’s called.

Bombas Socks ($9)

These socks were created with the runner in mind. The stitching helps distribute pressure and they also help with those pesky blisters with extra padding on the toes and the Achilles tendon! Additionally, for each pair you buy, the company gives a pair of socks to children in need. You can’t get better than a gift that gives back!

Under Armour Women’s Get Set Go Running Gloves ($24.99)

With these gloves, you don’t ever have to worry about cold hands! Even if you’re not working out, these gloves will absorb and retain heat from your hands. Plus, they have touch-screen fingers to help you stay connected!

The Runner’s World Cookbook ($21)

Eating healthy is a huge part of staying fit. This cookbook will help you get started with meals that will get you fueled up and satisfied all while being nutritious and light. The foods (along with exercise) will help you tone up and boost your performance. 

Gaiam Yoga for Beginners Kit ($23.98)

This kit is perfect for the new yogi. It has everything you need to get you started, including the strap and blocks that will help you get into different poses. Plus, the mat is made without harmful phthalates!

Nuun Active Hydration Tablets ($7)

Perfect for long runs or post-workout, this electrolyte-rich tablet will deliver fast rehydration to keep you healthy. 

Smart Body Analyzer ($149.95)

This highly accurate scale measures weight, body fat measurements and BMI. It allows you to pick through body types to get a good read on your measurements. It’s also smart phone-accessible and it stores data so you can keep track of your progress!

Her Fitness Box ($49.95)

This subscription box was created for the female athlete. Each box contains 1 to 2 fitness accessories and 6 to 8 health and lifestyle samples, and ships quarterly so there’s a new set of fitness must-haves just when you need them!

ClassPass ($79)

Have a friend who’s always down to try a new workout class? With one pass, she’ll be able to try a ton of different classes locally. 

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo ($12 to $22)

Never worry about sweaty or greasy hair after a workout every again! Grab a small one to keep in the locker at the gym, and a travel-sized one to throw in a gym bag. 

Footgloss ($12)

This versatile gloss can be used for everything from running to high heels. It creates a layer of protection between shoe and skin to help decrease chaffing and blisters! It makes for a perfect stocking stuffer.

Her life will be complete once Buzzfeed creates an article titled "X Reasons why We Love Elodie". Elodie loves talking and responds to all of her emails. She would love to hear from you!
