We all have at least one in our lives. The fitness guru. The person who knows exactly what to eat and why. The one you trust for everything from nutritional stats to workout tips. They’re the ones who make exercise a priority, whether that means waking up extra early to squeeze it in before everyone wakes up or committing to a routine after work.
It’s more than impressive — but it also means they might be just a little trickier to shop for during the holiday season. After all, they probably have what they really need to fuel their workouts, right? We figured as much, so we rounded up seven epic gifts, all priced under $200, that are perfect for your favorite fitness fanatic.
TRX All in One Home Gym Bundle
Who needs the gym when there’s the TRX All in One Home Gym Bundle? This convenient set includes everything they need to enjoy a phenomenal workout in the comfort of their home, including a suspension trainer, indoor and outdoor anchors, a best-in-class workout guide, a TRX XMount wall anchor, a variety of exercise bands, and a shaker bottle to keep them going with their favorite protein shake. Ideal for everything from cardio to strength training, it’s a must for anyone who needs to shake things up and make their at-home routines more interesting.
Activbody Activ5 Handheld Isometric Strength Training Device
Meet the future of strength training. While lifting is definitely still a thing, the Activbody Activ5 Handheld Isometric Strength Training Device aims to change things just a little. This handy device is advertised as a “Tiny Gym in Your Pocket,” and there’s reason to believe it’s true. Used regularly, it may help increase muscle mass and improve strength in the upper and lower body. It’s designed with convenience in mind, and is so compact it fits easily into a desk drawer, a glove compartment, or a briefcase with ease.
Compact Elliptical Trainer
Forget about enormous pieces of exercise equipment that take up massive square footage in the home. Sure, they’re awesome, but they’re not really practical gifts, are they? To the rescue comes the Compact Elliptical Trainer. It’s a smartly sized machine that provides the same benefits as a full-size elliptical — at a fraction of the size. The main difference is the lack of handlebars, which saves space without sacrificing functionality. Footpads on the pedals ensure greater stability and help the user stay in balance. There’s also an LCD display that provides workout details, including calories burned and total time exercised.
Truth be told, everyone needs a monkii 360. It sounds twee and charming, but there’s no denying the intensity of this hyped-up device. Shaped and sized like a basketball, it’s designed to make every workout that much stronger. Thank the grips built into the device for making muscles work harder with every move, from the arms to the chest to the core. There’s even an option to slide a weight inside and elevate the intensity of the workout.
Epitomie Fitness VIBRA Vibrating Foam Roller
Adios, foam roller of old. They’ll never look back once you surprise them with the Epitomie Fitness VIBRA Vibrating Foam Roller. This is absolutely everything a sore muscle could possibly need to find relief. From pulsing massaging action that quickly works out the kinks to a variety of settings that allow the user to graduate from minor kneading to full-blown vibrations, it’s a foam roller that puts the rest to shame. Even better? It’s rechargeable, and a single charge delivers high-intensity massage for more than four hours.
Theragun Mini Portable Muscle Treatment Massage Gun
Life is just better with a Theragun Mini Portable Muscle Treatment Massage Gun around. Trust: Your workout-loving friend or family member will be impressed when they receive this little wonder. It’s quiet, but don’t let the lack of sound fool anyone. It does the job in relative silence, providing the user with an option to work out those tight kinks and sore muscles discreetly. It’s an effective tool that helps alleviate discomfort, and it’s easy to slip into a suitcase or workout bag for convenience. It offers up to 150 minutes of usage, making it especially handy for those who are often on the go.
Okay, so it’s not quite a Hoverboard, but we’re pretty sure even Marty McFly would be impressed with the Revolution 101 Balance Board Trainer. It’s everything a skateboard junkie and workout enthusiast could want. Featuring comfortable cushioning, the board is designed to help the user find their balance and improve their coordination. It’s especially ideal for anyone whose workout of choice demands those skills, be it snowboarding or surfing. Plus, it just plain looks cool.
