2016 Holiday Gift Guide: for your fitness-loving friends
(or yourself!)
Hi friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful morning. The holiday Gift Guide fun continues! Here are the ones I’ve posted so far this year:
Gift Guide for Holiday Hostesses
This is my favorite one to put together each year, for obvious reasons. I love fitness gear, and LOVE sharing awesome picks with others. I always love to hear what you’re enjoying, too! Here are some ideas if you’re shopping for your favorite yoga friend, Orangetheory buddy, or personal trainer. These are also fantastic ideas if your family members are still asking what they should get you this year. Just send this handy link along. 🙂

2016 Fitness Gifts for the Holidays
For the yoga lover:
A new yoga mat. This is the one I use the most, and it’s on super sale right now. I also love my La Vie Boheme mat, and always get tons of compliments on the gorgeous design.
Teeki pants. They have so many fun, unique prints, and they fit extremely well.
Spiritual Gangster apparel. I’m obsessed with this hamsa pullover, this celestial yin yang tank, and this tee.
Mala beads. These ones are stunning.
Lotus jewelry. Alex & Ani has some gorgeous pieces, like this bracelet, and from today until the 15th, 20% of proceeds are going to support the Tennessee wildfires.
Pura Vida bracelets are hand-made in Costa Rica, and support 190 charities worldwide. The bracelets are beautiful, very inexpensive (the code HOLIDAY20 will get you 20% off), and help to provide income for artisans in Costa Rica.
For the Orangetheory and circuit-training fanatic:
New Balance sneakers. The Fresh Foam Zantes are super comfortable, supportive enough for shorter runs, and lightweight for circuit training. They’re my current everything shoe.
Lightweight tank top. These are perfect for super sweaty workouts.
Supportive and comfortable crops.
For the gym rat:
A TRX. Pretty much everyone I know who works out at the gym wants their own TRX. They are AWESOME to have at home, and extremely versatile. ($50 off right now, too!)
Fitness watch or heart rate monitor. I have a TomTom3 on the way, and can’t wait to try it out!
Wireless headphones. These are my fave. 🙂
For the runner:
Funny running tank. The best part is watching people read these tanks and snicker to themselves.
Cover the entry fee to a race they’ve been scoping out
For barre and Pilates friends:
Sassy leggings (<— gahhhh these are amazing.) You can never have too many.
Barre tank (so many good ones here!)
Hoodie or jacket to wear to and from the studio. This grey one is perfect for heading to work out, or for weekends and errands.
Fitness stocking stuffers:
A class pass to their favorite studio, or a fitness date to a new fitness activity you’ve been wanting to try together
A massage or spa treatment
Athletic socks (we love Balega and Bombas)
Favorite bars, energy gels, and protein powders
Single-serve collagen. I’ve been having this every day for months now, and have noticed a huge difference in my skin and hair. You can read more about it here.
Hair ties
Dry shampoo and mini essentials for their gym bag, like shampoo, conditioner, smoothing cream, and deodorant
So tell me friends: what’s on your fitness wish list?
Leave a comment below and I’ll pick a lucky winner (and announce in this week’s Friday Faves) to pick any of the tops from this post as their prize.

A heartrate monitor/ activity tracker like the tomtom3 that you are getting is on my wish list!!
I love Lorna Jane tops! They are so comfortable and fit well over my bump even at 36 weeks pregnant!
I’m so intrigued about trying collegian, but those sassy leggings are everything! Happy holidays!
A new yoga mat and, of course, leggings 🙂
I was just thinking about this this morning! 🙂 I need a new water bottle (I’m super good at leaving them at studios and never remembering to get them) and some new running shoes… although that one can be tough to buy for someone else unless you know their specific shoe. It would be so fun to get lots of these ideas though!
Great list!! I would love some new funny workout tanks or a home elliptical!!
I can’t get any of the links to open…is anyone else having a problem?
I kinda want that Garmin Vivosmart HR fitness watch! I have a Fitbit but it doesn’t track my steps/distance accurately and that doesn’t fly well with me. And besides, I <3 my garmin Forerunner 110 so makes sense that I stay in the same family. 🙂 Oh, and I'd LOVE a TRX if I could convince my hubby that we need to install it in our garage!
I’m hoping for some new boxing gloves to make their way under my tree!
Awesome list! I didn’t realize collagen came in single packets like that!
Love those Lorna Jane tops!
Cute tank tops to work out in!
I love this list! My other pick would be sweaty bands hair bands as they always seem to keep my curls away during workouts.
I’d love to get one of these to give as a present to my trainer! 🙂 What was your favorite gift from a client??
I absolutely love the savasana tee- sometimes it’s true, you are just there for a nap! On my wishlist is a really nice pair of running tights or a nice sports bra. Sweaty Betty is my favourite brand, so I’m hoping for gift vouchers!
My wish list includes new grippy socks (I love the cute slogans and colors from the Sticky Be brand) and lightweight hoodies. I recently moved to south Florida from Michigan, so what I thought were lightweight hoodies now seem too heavy!
Some new cold weather running tights! I’ve had my current (favorite!) ones for almost 5 years!
I have been wanting a s’well water bottle for months!
I really just want to go to the gym again, have 2 kiddos makes that so hard.

I’m in need of a new (heavier) kettle bell!
I once found a Spiritual Gangster mat towel at Marshalls. Score. LOL
I was skeptical about collagen since a lot of sources say it’s digested just like any other protein into amino acids for the body to use to synthesize into whatever tissues or substance it needs, so the idea that it remains in collagen form and somehow makes it from your stomach to your skin, hair, etc. is kind of unlikely. But some sources say it might somehow boost our own collagen production, so I tried it. I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I sometimes think my hair is already looking a little better? Plus it’s tasteless, non-thick protein, which is always good.
Those sassy leggings are definitely going on my list! Of course, I have my eye on a few Fabletics items too. Just bought a dress from there. It’s super cozy!
I realllllllly want the new Garmin Forerunner 735 in white and rose gold. I definitely don’t neeeeed it since I only run and my 220 is still working perfectly fine. But not gonna lie – the 735 is the most stylish watch to date Garmin has released and I’m in love.
Other wants – the whole winter Calia line. Love her looks – don’t own any yet. And I can always go for leggings 🙂
On my wish list is tanks and leggings. I teach three days a week, and workout five to six, sometimes twice a day, so I am constantly washing my workout clothes! And I wear them for more than working out so they get weird stains and spots. LOL I go through them like water.
Great ideas! I’ve been wanting to try a Swell water bottle ever since I heard of them. Could also use some new workout clothes since I’m pregnant and need some “flowy” tops!!
Fitness class passes! My husband bought me a one month unlimited at CorePower Yoga for my birthday and it was the perfect gift for me since after a month I start getting bored and want to try something new :P.
All. The. Leggings.
I’m asking for new leggings (I’m eyeing those ones you posted!) and a gift card to OrangeTheory! 🙂
Love your sneaky giveaways, btw. 😉
Anything Lorna Jane would be AMAZING – I love her stuff 🙂
New sports bras! And maybe a fitbit, but I want one that’s actually pretty!
So many great ideas on here! New running shoes are on my wishlist.
I love the fun tanks! I got one I saw you wearing a while back – it says “Everything hurts & I’m dying”. It’s my go-to running tank (for obvious reasons). #truth 😀
Those Lorna jane tanks! I don’t like lifting arms, but I have a wedding dress to wear in June so I must! That will give me the extra motivation I need.
New running shoes and some classes at different studios around town. I love to do different workouts to avoid getting bored!
HI! Thanks for the awesome round up as always 🙂
I recently passed my NASM CPT exam (woot woot!!) and have about a million things on my fitness wishlist…but what I really need most is a new yoga mat. Mine is looking pretty bad and old, probably because it is 🙂
I asked for workout clothes from Victoria’s Secret Sport – it’s my current fave!
I’m hoping for a new gym bag!
I’m hoping for a gift card for a boutique fitness studio like SLT- or a deep tissue massage!
i have a few items from lululemon on my wish list 🙂
I recently got a Swell bottle for my birthday. Love!
Love the leggings!
Definitely a gift card to a local barre, yoga, or pilates studio!
I’m wanting a new pair of black tights. You’re right! You can never have too many pairs! Love the Lulu Align Pant:
https://shop.lululemon.com/p/women-pants/Align-Pant-2/_/prod2020012?rcnt=0&N=8c0&cnt=10&color=LW5LJFS_0001
My lulu wunder under crops are looking a little worn, so I really do need to replace them, but I’m reluctant to part with them! And I’ve heard that the new ones aren’t the same as the old ones, so I’m nervous about that!
Love the cozy to the core sweater jacket! Super cute!
great ideas!! i’ve been reading about the lumo run pod and it seems really cool – so that’s going on my list 🙂
I’ll take one of everything from this list, please Santa!
I’m asking for new wireless headphones this year!
The collagen is VERY intriguing! My “wish” is to find someone willing to take new classes with me (or join me on a run, or at OTF or PB!) My local friend-set tends to be very risk-averse to trying new things (or is very inconsistent with their activity level) that I am often left to go it alone and there are so many adventures to be had! My husband is not a group-fitness fan either so those requests pretty much fall on deaf ears!
