Mini foam roller

Recovery is key for any active individual, and a mini foam roller is the perfect companion for the workout guru on your list. They can travel easily, they’re durable and they’re essential to easing pain and stiffness in those overworked muscles and trigger points.

Dry shampoo

For the love of all things fitness, dry shampoo is a necessity. Guys and girls alike can relate to the need to keep this stuff stocked in their gym bags and lockers. A gift set of dry shampoo is the perfect gift or stocking stuffer for those who get sweaty and need to refresh quickly after!

ClassPass gift card

Let them try something new. ClassPass lets users pick and choose different classes from studios and fitness gyms in their area. They can try a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, on you! What a thoughtful and practical gift.

Spotify gift card

A Spotify music subscription is an amazing gift. The gift of music is so valuable, but to the workout guru on your list, you’ll be giving them the gift of music that will motivate and inspire them to keep moving — all curated by them.

App controlled bike lock

Who has time to mess with a traditional bike lock? In an age where everything seems digital already, add to that an app-controlled bike lock! Lock and unlock with your smartphone!

Spiralizer

The workout lover on your list probably has a handle on a pretty healthy diet. Expand their horizons and watch them unwrap a spiralizer this season — a handy little kitchen tool that can turn sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash and more into perfect noodles. Low carb pasta, anyone?

On-the-go sweat wipes

It’s not always practical to shower after every workout. Because everyday life demands attention, and sometimes there simply isn’t time. On-the-go workout wipes are a temporary fix and perfect substitute. They make great stocking (and gym bag) stuffers!
