From a Prada exercise mat to a top-rated pair of compression boots

It can sometimes be difficult to surprise a friend or family member with one of the best fitness gifts, especially if they have their exercise routine down to a science. But even if they practically sleep in their home gym or already alternate workout classes during the week, upgrading their fitness gear or unwrapping a buzzy new workout accessory can help your favorite wellness lover level up their approach.

Elevated gym essentials like Bala’s color-coordinating Resistance Kit and Frame Fitness's top-rated pilates reformer, plus, stylish gear like Oura's stylish ring tracker, and Nike's coveted running glasses, will not only be appreciated by your giftee but likely become workout staples they never knew they needed. And since a well-rounded routine doesn't stop at an actual workout, we also found a treasure trove of staples to help guide their recovery efforts and general self-care needs, too (we're currently eyeing Alo's 2024 Advent calendar).

We’ve rounded up the best fitness gifts that are both effective and highly coveted by Bazaar editors and exercise enthusiasts from across the internet to help check off your holiday shopping list. These training favorites are sure to impress even the most dedicated workout devotee.

Inside Alo's 2024 wellness and beauty Advent calendar are 24 days worth of some of the brand's best-sellers. Along with vitamin-boosting gel shots and hair accessories, your giftee will also unbox their Magnesium Reset Spray, candles, and even a membership to Alo Moves.

Peloton's Original Bike is the perfect surprise for the dedicated spinner in your life. Along with a dedicated app that syncs your heart rate and fitness metrics to your Apple or Wear OS watch, the bike makes it simple to customize workouts with warm-ups, yoga, and more.

Editor's note: A Peloton All-Access membership must be purchased ahead of bike use for $44 per month.

If you're already planning to surprise them with a bike, why not add a pair of Peloton cycling shoes for good measure? These Bike and Bike+ cleats have stiff soles and breathable mesh vents to keep your friend's feet comfortable, along with adjustable hook and loop straps.

This seven-pound hand-weight is iron-coated with silicone for a marble-like finish, and can easily be disguised as a coffee table art piece.

They can seamlessly block the sun during outdoor jogs with these performance sunglasses from Nike. And since they feature an easy, wrap-around design, along with an adjustable nose pad and temple fit, the glasses will always feel supremely comfortable.

They can crank their favorite gym tunes up even louder with this lightweight and top-rated Bluetooth speaker from Sonos. It's not only dustproof but waterproof, too, with a 10-hour battery life that endures the toughest workouts.

Along with three sets of weighted knuckles and elastic bands featuring three levels of resistance, this compact workout bench is packed with five sets of dumbbells for expert-level strength training. Plus, the bench is also app-integrated for customized workouts they can follow from their phone.

Here's a charming pickleball set for your favorite fan. They'll unbox four fiberglass and polypropylene paddles—along with branded covers—and six pickleballs.

Help them improve their pre- and post-workout stretch habits with this popular strap guide that nearly 13,000 Amazon shoppers swear by. The rip-resistant, nylon strap nicely includes 12 different loop options for your friend to choose from based on their flexibility level.

This five-piece cleansing set from OffCourt is made with athletes in mind. It includes a body wash, exfoliating soap, body spray, and fragrance to keep your friend smelling their freshest after working up a sweat.

This high-tech device isn't your ordinary scale: in addition to receiving over 37,000 reviews from satisfied Amazon shoppers, the fitness essential can also monitor their weight, body fat, and water percentage, along with muscle and bone mass.

They can practically become their own Pilates instructor after unwrapping this popular reformer from Frame Fitness. It features a set of wheels that makes it easy to move around from room to room or just around their home gym. Plus, in addition to being Bluetooth-enabled, the machine's collapsable touchscreen also swivels a complete 180 degrees.

TRX's highly popular suspension training system provides a full-body workout, and supports up to 700 pounds. The system assembles in less than a minute by anchoring to their door, and includes a 30-day free trial for the brand's live classes and on-demand workouts.

Help them ensure their stats are properly tracked in Apple Fitness+ through the duration of their workout with this portable charger—which nicely contains a built-in lightning connector.

Hyperice's reusable (up to 20 uses per included body pad) Venom Go device uses Bluetooth connectivity and nine combinations of heat and vibration to soothe sore muscles. Plus, since it's travel-friendly, it's easy to pack in their gym bag or carry-on.

Upgrade their regular yoga mat with this striking black and white version from Prada. It nicely includes an adjustable yoga strap for easy carrying, plus, a removable pouch.

Ōura's stylish yet minimal ring puts a more elevated spin on an everyday tracking device since it uses built-in sensors and a durable titanium casing to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your jewelry. Plus, it also includes a company membership that scores the wearer's sleep, readiness, and activity and offers health insights each day. Did we mention it also comes in four color options?

This stress-relieving tool uses three speeds and eight Shiatsu massage modes to loosen muscle knots and relieve tight necks and shoulders. And since it's also heated, your friend will feel even more relaxed while recovering from arm day.

This version of the Apple Watch is not only dust- and water-resistant, but also completely carbon-neutral, and chock-full of cool features. From temperature sensors that track blood oxygen levels and ECG, to crash and fall detection for unforeseen emergencies and water descents up to 40 meters, the device covers just about everything.

Once your friend drops one of these daily vegan supplements in eight-ounces of water, they can drink up all of its plant-powered, antioxidant benefits—including better circulation and natural energy—after three weeks of use.
