Holiday Gifts for Home Workouts
Sometimes people prefer to sweat at home. If you know that special someone who can’t always make it to the gym, giving them the gift of a quality home workout is the way to go. Home workouts are the best for busy schedules and the person that tries to squeeze in a few reps during nap time.
Here’s a list of things your friend might want for the holidays.
Body-Solid Folding Multi-Bench
A necessity for a great home workout is definitely a folding bench. If a home workout involves dumbbells and reps, your friend has to have a great bench. This bench features seven adjustment positions, so it’s perfect for several types of workouts.
Body-Solid Vinyl Coated Kettlebell Sets
Kettlebells are the bane of my existence when working out, but that doesn’t me I don’t love them! A kettlebell set is great for a home gym. Kettlebells are versatile when it comes to working out. Color-coded kettlebells offer easy identification when working out.
8mm Strong Rubber Tiles
This gift is for the person you know really wants a great workout area. Someone who is setting up a home gym in their home or garage. These rubber tiles simply lock together. You can’t drop stuff on concrete, but you can drop weights on these babies.
Shock Mats
These mats are super thick. They will absorb even the heaviest of drops on them. Since it’s a mat, it’s an easy install (though they are super heavy and a helping hand might be needed.) This mat will work for any home gym, but especially for the garage powerlifter in your life.

Halo Sport System
Halo Sport, the first product from Halo Neuroscience, is a wearable neurostimulator that accelerates the development of muscle memory when paired with training. Sounds cool, right? It’s backed by over a decade of scientific research. Halo Sport works by applying an electrical stimulus to the motor cortex, the part of the brain responsible for muscle movement. It can help with all sorts of training, including endurance. If you want an extra special gift for the endurance athlete in your life, this is the way to go.
FlipBelt Classic Running Belt
I love running with music, I mean, who doesn’t? The problem is my noodle arms don’t support those nifty armbands for cell phones, and if they do, it’s sweaty and uncomfortable. Enter: the FlipBelt. I have one of these and I love them. It holds so many items you might need during a long run. From cell phones to keys, to even small water bottles, the endurance fitness person in your life with appreciate this thoughtful gift.
ProForm 9000 Treadmill
Missed runs put a damper on your goals. If you don’t have the luxury of living in a 24/7 running paradise, a treadmill is in order. For those who like to have some workouts at home, or just need a backup for those snowy or rainy days, this gift is great for the runner in your life.

Wireless headphones are mandatory for a great workout, in my opinion. Especially if your workout is a solo endeavor. These headphones are wireless, comfortable, and have great perks. It features audio coaching, a Sport Life app, and automatic rep counting. It’s basically awesome.

Women’s Ponytail Headband by TrailHeads
If your athlete lives in a cold climate, an ear warmer is required. What’s the cool thing about this one though? Well, it has a slot for their ponytail which makes this the best ear warmer ever. No, I’m serious. Working out with a bun or ponytail smooshed up against your head is annoying. This gift makes that problem go away.
Athleta Tights
Give her the gift of pockets. No, I’m serious. Women’s clothing has a serious pocket deprivation problem, and it’s basically a famine when it comes to fitness clothing. These tights have not just one pocket, but FOUR pockets. To be honest, these tights are basically revolutionary. They also have a ton of other cool features like reflective details and wicking, breathable fabric.
HoMedics Bubble Mate Foot Spa with Heat
Okay, your fitness friend wants this. They may not know it yet, but they need this foot spa. Back in the day, I stood on my feet for long shifts, worked out, then ran, and by the time I got home my feet were worn out. They were dead feet. For someone whose feet take a pounding, this foot spa will bring them back to life. After all, hurt feet don’t run well.
Schiek 2004 Lifting Belt
