It is officially the holiday season and we are feeling festive. Now is the time where we look back on the year and give thanks to all the people who have helped us along the way. Specifically for those who have help us meet our fitness goals this year, there is no better way to show your workout buddy, yoga teacher, or group classmate you care than by gifting them something they can use along their fitness journey. We hope to ease a little bit of your holiday stress by making gifting for these people easy. We've compiling the perfect Holiday Gift Guide filled with the best gifts for the fitness lovers in your life!
Class Pass Gift Card
Has your fitness friend always wanted to try a spin, yoga, or kickboxing class? Whether they're new to fitness or wishing to change things up a bit, Class Pass is the perfect way to ensure working out stays fun and exciting! With a monthly membership, Class Pass allows its members access to over 20,000 fitness studios and gyms around the world. They can easily book from a wide range of classes that matches their interest, mood, or intensity. And with New Year's around the corner, this is the best fitness gift for those who want to start 2020 with the ability to workout their way!
Workout Apparel
I have enough workout clothing, said no one ever! The most obvious and possibly most-used item on our fitness gift guide: workout apparel! Get the fitness lover in your life workout clothing that is both comfortable to wear for their active lifestyle and as filled with personality as they are. We recommend checking out Liberte Lifestyles because we can't get enough of their unique designs on not only their clothing, but their sleeves and headbands as well.
Workout Journal
So your workout pal is consistently working out but not seeing progress? Our fitness gift guide would not be complete without shedding light on the importance of a workout journal! Help your fitness friend organize their workout plan and track their progress in and out of the gym. There are a ton of workout journals out there, but we love Gym Gypsy's Workout Journal Subscription because of its holistic approach to fitness. With new journals sent to them every quarter, The Gym Gypsy Journal has spaces for tracking and organizing: strength and skill work, conditioning, nutrition, sleep quality, mood, and much more. As well as tracking "HOW" they're working out, it also tracks "WHY" to keep them motivated throughout their fitness journey!
Yoga Mat
Support the yogi in your life who strives to improve their flexibility, muscle strength, and mental focus by making sure they have the most comfortable place to practice. The best fitness gift for your yoga lover: a new yoga mat! We're loving the yoga mats from Gaiam because of their textured surfaces to lessen slipping, high-quality material, and stunning designs to match any personal aesthetic.
Water Bottles
Friends don't let friends get dehydrated, especially not during a workout! The perfect gift idea for any fitness lover: a new sports water bottle! We love Takeya bottles because they're vacuum insulation to keep drinks ice cold, leak-proof yet easy to open, available in a variety of great colors, and there is no flavor transfer so you can switch from pre-workout, to water, to protein shake with no lingering tastes.
Rise Bars
Help your workout buddy fuel their fitness by gifting them Rise Bars! We're not called "The Simplest Protein Bar" for nothing. 3-5 ingredients meets 15-20g of Protein per bar. Our plant-based and whey-based protein bars meet most dietary restriction and we are happy to say that our bars also contain NO preservatives or artificial ingredients. Just clean and simple ingredients. Nothing completes a fitness gift guide or a workout session like Rise Bars.
*** Bonus:
To celebrate this season, we have a new holiday flavor... Gingerbread! Available now through January 2020, our Gingerbread Rise Bars contain 6 ingredients, 16 grams of protein, and all of the sweet, cinnamon spice flavors we love!
Happy Shopping!
Tell them you care this season by making sure your workout friends are equipped to meet their fitness goals and live their healthiest, happiest, and most active lives. We hope the gifts off of our Holiday Gift Guide for Fitness Lovers will make shopping simple for you and put a smile on your loved one's face.
See something you like? There is no rule that says you can't gift it to yourself. Or send this blog along to someone else to drop a hint on what you want under the tree this season. Whatever you choose to do, keep rising together!
Happy Holidays from Rise Bar!
