43 fitness gifts for the friend who loves to work out (each to their own)

These fitness gifts are perfect for that someone special who has a drawer bursting with the best gym kit, owns at least a few of the best sports bras and knows everything there is to know about running shoes for women. Everyone has one: the fitness fanatic friend who loves to work out. Running, spinning, low impact yoga, HIIT, boxing… you name it, they’re doing it and genuinely loving it. Sickening, right? Imagine liking cardio. 

If you’re not one of those people and you’re struggling to know what to buy, fret not. This extensive list of fitness gifts for gym lovers should help give you some great gift ideas that you might not have thought of before.

They seem to already own endless exercise paraphernalia, but do they have a yoga jigsaw? A post-gym skincare routine? Or some workout-inspired artwork? We’ve really thought outside the box with our search for the best gifts for gym-lovers (as well as inside — a fitness enthusiast can never have enough gym leggings, can they?) and we’re backing ourselves to say you’re guaranteed to find something in this list that they’ll love.  

There’s some seriously stylish workout gear like a leopard print shell jacket, an ear-warming headband for the dropping temps on her morning run, the perfect cycling shorts (trust us, we’ve tried them all) and some rather chic ankle weights to really up the burn. Elsewhere, you’ll find resistance bands, earbuds, yoga coffee table books, Glossier’s hydration-inducing water bottle, exercise equipment and FitBits to help them reach their fitness goals.
