We've Rounded Up 75 of the Best Fitness Gifts for the Gym Rat in Your Life (2024)

Gift giving can be quite the challenge when you know someone who seemingly has it all. Especially if you’re dealing with someone who lives and breathes working out. Fitness junkies probably already have their workout routine down pat. They know their favorite clothing brand, probably keep their favorite water bottle filled at all times, and have already picked out the most high-tech sneakers for hitting the gym.

But it is possible to surprise them and come up with a gift that’ll actually impress them and be practical at the same time. Staying ahead of what’s trending in the gym and for home workouts is your sweet spot, and we’ll help you stay in the know with this list of the 91 most impressive fitness gifts that are available in 2024.

What to Consider

There are a number of things to consider when buying a fitness gift for the workout fan in your life. First, consider what they already have or what they have been complaining about needing lately. Is their favorite pair of leggings worn out? Grab them one with high-tech, sweat-resistant material. If they aren’t staying hydrated enough throughout the day, consider grabbing them a new water bottle. If they always seem to be sore, an at-home massaging device is a must.

How We Selected

The items in this list are chosen from a mix of personal editor reviews, public product reviews, and fitness trends on TikTok.

Ease into this acupressure mat over time. First, try laying on it for five minutes with clothing on, acting as a barrier. Then work up to using it directly on your skin for even more relief. This set comes with a pillow so you can get full body pressure relief to help realign the spine and soothe muscles after going hard in the gym.

Get your steps in while you work with this nifty treadmill. You can fold the handrails down to walk while at a standing desk (or when you don't want them there at all) at a max of 2.5 mph, or you can put the handrails up and get up to a brisk jog or run at a max of eight mph.

These buttery-soft leggings may be compression, but they're comfortable enough to wear even when you’re not breaking a sweat. It features side pockets for keys, phone, and other essentials and comes in a slew of inclusive sizes and fun colors.

Cryo therapy is a wellness lovers' favorite for soothing sore muscles, and this rollerball works as a handheld cryotherapy of sorts. It delivers cold and heat relief and fits easily in your hand. If you want to use it cold, simply store it in the freezer for at least an hour. If you want to use it hot, place it in a bowl of hot water for five to 10 minutes. Reviewers note that the ball stays cold for a long time, even after you’ve started working it around your body. You can use this anywhere, including on the face, so it’s a great tool to keep ready-to-go in the freezer for whenever you might need it.

What is a breathing necklace you ask? This ingenious tool is used to help you be more mindful as you breathe during meditation or to slow your heart rate after an intense workout. Simply inhale through your nose, hold the breath, and exhale slowly using the breathing tool. Because it’s made with high-polished stainless steel, it won’t rust or fade over time.

The work to workout kit features your choice of a Dagne Dover carry-on style bag that also perfectly functions as a work bag and gym bag, without having to switch out multiple bags from your car during your lunch break. The large bag comes with the option to add on a Dopp kit bag for extra toiletries and everything your giftee needs for a post-gym cleanup to head back into the office.

This 11-piece set includes five workout tubes of varying weights so you can get resistance as you use your own body weight to tone and strengthen muscles. It also includes two foam handles, two ankle straps, one door anchor, and one travel storage bag to keep it all together. Reviewers love the chic, minimalist colorways that the kit comes in. It’ll never stick out like a sore thumb in your cute apartment.

Whole-body cryotherapy can be a rejuvenating experience, but let's face it — no one’s installing a giant metal vat in their home. This portable ice cup can be used pre- and post-workout to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation and mobility everywhere from the neck and shoulders through the hips and lower back to the feet.

Cardio lovers, rejoice! With this fitness gift, your recipient can jumpstart that workout routine right away. It has comfortable nonslip handles — one with an LCD screen to see your jumping data. Plus, you can connect it to the Renpho Fit app, which analyzes and tracks your workout data, like calories burned and accumulated jump time, so you can reach your fitness goals.

A reusable water bottle is a great gift, but how about one that cleans itself? The LARQ bottle uses UV light to kill bacteria living in the bottle in just 60 seconds. The bottle even self-cleans every two hours, so there’s no need to continually press any buttons. It will keep their water hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours.

Massage guns are great for tough recovery after seriously going hard with the weights. But sometimes you just want to relax and get a more soothing massage that won’t make you scream out in pain. This personal shoulder massager slips over the shoulders and features different kneading and pulsing modes that can include heat if you need even more relief. Your muscle-clad friend will love it.

Any Pilates person will tell you that grip socks are almost always available in low-cut barely-there ankle height. That’s why I love this new launch from Doublesoul so much. They feature cozier, ankle-length socks that are perfect for staying warm in the Pilates studio during winter. Plus they come in four bright and fun colors to keep you focused during class.

Two words: chug cap. This water bottle has a built-in stopper that allows you to reach for it while you’re running on the treadmill, take a sip, and avoid spills. Even if you’re not a fan of the treadmill, it comes in handy when on the bus, in the car, or even on a long walk. Choose from seven different color options for the perfect gift.

One reviewer calls this a “neck-saving marvel,” which pretty much speaks for itself. When athletes and fitness pros think about recovery, they usually target muscle pain points in the shoulder, back, calves, and feet. But what about the head? The human head weighs 11 pounds, so it makes sense that your neck is going to get sore from carrying it around all day. This cushion slides right under the neck and hits all the right pressure points for instant relief and total relaxation.
