22 of the Best Fitness Gifts for Every Exercise Buff on Your List

These are a solid set of adjustable dumbbells that are highly rated and great for anyone living in a small space. You can adjust their weight from five to 52.5 pounds each, and the dial that changes the weights is easy to use. These weights are great for leg exercises and come with a storage tray for when they’re not in use. This set also made our pick for best overall adjustable dumbbells.

The BowFlex Max Trainer SE gives you a high-intensity, low-impact home workout. Whisper quiet: Skip the noise of a typical elliptical that can make it hard to hear your virtual trainer or workout playlist. See just how much every move on your Max Trainer matters with a 7-inch color display that keeps track of your heart rate, burn rate and more. Take it up a notch with 16 resistance levels that deliver an “I-just-kicked-some-butt” feeling in a short amount of time.

Nobull's Outwork trainers made CNET's best weightlifting shoes list because they're stylish and versatile at the same time. You can tell that a lot of thought went into designing this weightlifting shoe that does it all. If someone on your gift list likes to spend their time in the weight room or at CrossFit classes, they'll appreciate these shoes, and you can choose from a variety of patterns and colors.

The Fitbit Charge 6 made our pick for best all-around fitness tracker and for good reason. It’s chock-full of fitness and health features, like sleep tracking, an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) app and live heart rate monitoring during workouts. You can use it with your iPhone or Android, and we love its battery life of four to five days. Although you’ll get many features from this Fitbit without a subscription, you’ll get even more with the Premium one, which costs $10 a month.

The Oura ring is a smart ring that tracks sleep, stress levels, heart rate and menstrual cycles. It also records workouts, tells you how well-recovered you are, predicts your ideal bedtime and gives you data on your heart health, among other things. What I like about it is that it’s a discreet wearable, blending in as a regular ring you can wear daily. Plus, in my experience, it lasts a few days before needing a recharge.

Water bottle holders let you go hands-free when commuting or going for a walk, while still carrying the hydration you need. Calpak's holder has an insulated interior in the water bottle compartment to keep your drink cool, plus an elastic drawstring to keep your bottle in place. On the outside are pockets to hold your phone, keys and other essentials. It also comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, from classic black to limited-edition florals.

This is a stylish backpack for those who commute to work and then hit the gym or vice versa. It can fit workout (or work day) clothes and has plenty of compartments to fit your phone, tablet, laptop and other accessories. The neoprene material makes it water-resistant and it comes in several colors, including black and mauve. 

If you're shopping for the outdoorsy person in your life, a running belt is a good option. The SPIbelt expands to hold your phone, keys, credit cards and more. Runners can benefit from this belt because it's bounce-free, so it will stay in place during all distances. Plus, you can extend it to fit most waist sizes, ranging from 25 to 47 inches. (If you need more room, a belt extender can be purchased separately.) A bonus is that this belt doesn't just have to be for training runs. Hikers and casual walkers alike will enjoy the SPIbelt since it's a good hands-free alternative to a backpack to store their belongings. 

If you’re looking for some heat therapy with your massage gun, look at the all-new Theragun Prime Plus. Its science-backed heat therapy can help with things like reducing soreness and relieving pain. It also includes three extra attachments to help various muscle groups. And the Theragun Prime Plus will also work with other Theragun attachments, including the Cold Plus attachment and Vibration Plus attachment, which are sold separately.

This yoga mat isunique because it’s foldable, unlike others that you have to roll up. This helps it keep its shape better and makes it easier to slide under a bed or couch for storage. The material is also thicker and makes it more versatile than others on the market, because you can use it for other types of exercise. It also doubles as a step stool for incline-decline exercises and can be used as a yoga block. The compact and adjustable Stakt Weights are a nice touch too if someone is just starting to add strength training to their regimen and doesn’t have a lot of space to keep extra weights around.

Foam rolling is an inexpensive way to reduce muscle tightness and increase your range of motion, which is also good to do before a workout, especially if a massage gun isn't in line with your budget. The TriggerPoint Grid 1.0 Foam Roller is one of my favorites because it isn't too big (only 13 inches long) and it's durable. I bought one many years ago and it's still holding up. If you're shopping for a friend or family member who likes to train like an athlete, they'll appreciate this gift for recovery after each workout.

These mini resistance bands are a great and very affordable addition to any workout. They come in three resistance levels and are also easy to clean. Fitness buffs on your gift list will definitely appreciate them as a gift or stocking stuffer.

This stability ball comes in various sizes and can easily be added to your workout, physical therapy or yoga routine, among other things. Plus you can always sit on it when it’s not in use. 

If your gift recipient is in need of a blender that doesn't take up much counter space, the Nutribullet Ultra is a solid choice. It's Nutribullet's latest model and has a quieter motor than previous models. The new blade is made to reduce blending time, which is helpful when you're in a rush to get out the door. The blending cups are now made of Tritan Renew, which is a recyclable and BPA-free material. Similar to former Nutribullet cups, these are portable, dishwasher-safe and shatter-proof.

These are some of ProMix’s best-sellers because they're healthier versions of Rice Krispie Treats and make for good on-the-go snacks. As far as macros go, they have 15 grams of protein and are 150 calories per bar, and they're made with only naturally sourced sugars and no artificial coloring or flavoring. Some of my favorite flavors include vanilla, strawberries and cream, and blueberries and cream.
