The Best Gifts for Health Nuts
1. Lululemon Reversible Mat
We have this Lululemon yoga mat and love it so much. The 5mm provides just enough cushion for any type of workout. It’s become a staple in our at-home workouts. All your health nut friends will love this gift!
2. Nike Free Metcon 3 Training Shoe
We work out in these Nike shoes ever day. They are perfect for your friends who love going to the gym to workout, because they are made for training. Not to mention, they are so stylish!
This style, in particular, has multiple color options to choose from, so it’s guaranteed you’ll find a color combination you’ll love!

These Freepeople leggings are on our Christmas list this year! We love that they are high waisted, and are available in so many different colors! This is another great option as a gift for health nuts.
4. Bala Bangle Ankle Weights by Bala
Ankle weights are such good tool to during your workout to create resistance in your movements. Bala’s ankle weights are modern and comfortably fasten around your ankles or wrists.
5. Walito Resistance Bands
We used resistance bands regularly in college, when we were members of a gym that had them. These bands add an extra challenge to regular exercises. They are perfect for at-home workouts or to throw in your gym bag!
6. Foam Roller
Foam rolling is an essential part of our workout routine, because it helps our muscles recover after a workout. This one is neat because there are two different surfaces the foam roller provides to roll out your muscles. The neutral color of the foam roller is also really gorgeous.
7. Softest Chord Scrunchies
How cute are these corduroy scrunchies? These are perfect for low-intensity workouts, or fastening over an elastic hair tie during high-intensity workouts!
8. Go Getter Bag
We have used this bag for a couple of years and can say it’s one of the best gifts we have received! It has a compartment for EVERYTHING! Not only is is great to take to the gym, but it is also amazing to take as a carry-on bag or for a quick overnight trip!
9. Apple Watch
As fellow Apple Watch Series 5 users, the newly released Series 6 looks just as incredible, if not more incredible! It has a ton of different health feature built in. It has the ability to track your activity, exercise, daily steps, heart rate and heart rhythm. We wear ours every single day to track daily movement and workouts.
10. Class Pass Gift Card
A Class Pass Gift Card is the perfect gift to give someone who loves fitness–especially if they are someone who loves switching up their workouts regularly. Class Pass offers access to premier boutique fitness centers, unique online classes, and a customized fitness routine that fits your lifestyle!
11. Tropeaka ‘Sarah’s Day’ Cookie Dough Protein Powder
We can say that Tropeaka protein powder is the best protein powder we have ever tasted! Sarah’s Day Cookie Dough protein is so delicious and doesn’t have the typical protein powder taste you sometimes get with other brands. If cookie dough flavor isn’t your vibe, Tropeaka sells other flavors as well—including salted caramel, chocolate and vanilla.
12. Just the Good Stuff: 100+ Guilt-Free Recipes to Satisfy All Your Cravings
We gifted a friend this cookbook and have tried some of the recipes in the book! We can say first hand that they are incredible!
Rachel Mansfield has created delicious meals, snacks and desserts that provide plenty of gluten-free, Paleo and plant-based options for the health nut in your life!
13. Fitness Journal
This fitness journal has it all! You can plan out all the workouts you want to do during the week, meal plan and keep track of your fitness goals. It always helps to keep track of your fitness goals and this journal can keep you accountable. This would be a perfect gift for a friend who is just starting their fitness journey.
14. Gold Dumbells
When Blogilates came out with these gold dumbbells at Target, we snagged them. First off, the gold detail is so adorable. Second, the hand grip is so squishy and comfortable. These are one of kind, which is why it’s one of our favorite gifts for health nuts.
15. Pilates Ball
If you have a friend who loves going to pilates or barre, this pilates ball would be an amazing gift to give them. If they aren’t able to go to a pilates class during the week, having a pilates ball at home will give them the opportunity to squeeze a workout in.
16. Buttery Soft Yoga Pants
The Lululemon Align leggings are by far our favorite leggings to date. They have even gained a lot of popularity on TikTok over the recent months. However, this is a dupe that is not near as expensive, but just as comfortable! You can buy these for just $22.99!
17. Samsung Galaxy Earbuds
We’ve heard these earbuds have incredible sound quality and are noise-canceling. If your friend loves to workout, these earbuds are perfect for getting in the zone and canceling out all the noise.
18. Massage Gun
For your friends who run, cycle or do high intensity workouts on a regular basis, this massage gun is the gift to give them. These have been all the rage lately.
Our friend just purchased one and says it is life changing. It helps aid in your recovery after you workout and release lactic acid in your muscles so you aren’t as sore the following day.
19. HOKA Running Shoes
HOKA shoes are so trendy right now, but everyone we know that has gotten them has never gone back. These running shoes are so comfortable and provide the best support for your feet as you workout. They are bit of a pricer gift for the health nut in your life, but they will absolutely love them!
20. Time Marker Water Bottle
These time marker water bottles are super popular right now. This bottle will help you stay accountable with your water intake. It shows you how much water you should drink by certain hours in the day.
21. Swiftly Tech Racerback
We are absolutely obsessed with this top from Lululemon. They are amazing to workout in, because they are moisture wicking and super comfortable. Once you buy one, you’ll never go back!
