1. Leggings

Cooler weather means your workout wardrobe might need an update. These Seamless Scrunch Leggings from Alphalete promise to keep your lower body warm while also looking good whether you’re hitting lower body, upper body, or just running errands on your rest day. With over 28 different colors, you might need to buy two (or three or four) pairs of these leggings. They’re an investment in your health, right?

2. Joggers

Whether lifting or lounging, a pair of joggers is a staple piece in every fitness enthusiast’s workout wardrobe. These relaxed, athletic-fit joggers from Public Rec make the perfect choice if your loved one lives in their athleisurewear.

3. CBD for sore muscles 

Give the fitness enthusiast on your list this muscle-soothing blend of CBD, CBG, and terpenes to help boost energy levels while relieving soreness before and after workouts.

6. New headphones

A solid pair of headphones is essential for every workout. These Bluetooth headphones offer an incredibly long battery life, a convenient charging case, and great sound for a budget-friendly price. However, if you’re looking to splurge, the Powerbeats Pro Wireless Headphones are our top choice. 

7. Supplements 

Listen, this might sound too simple, but do you know how expensive supplements can be? Give the fitness lover on your list something they’ll actually use by treating them to their favorite tried and true supplements. And if you’re not sure what they like, a gift card to their favorite supplement store will do the trick. 

8. A new sports bra 

If you’ve taken anything away from this list, hopefully, it’s that you can never go wrong with the gift of new gym clothes. Much like leggings and joggers, a stylish sports bra is a fitness essential for the weightlifter, yogi, cyclist, or sprinter on your list. This buttery soft Serenity Sierra Crop features moderate support and a flattering twist detail in the front. It’s available in four different colors and sizes XS-XXL.

9. Electrolytes

Keep your gym lover optimally hydrated with these electrolyte mixes. Made with non-GMO ingredients, they’re packed with essential vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, and vitamin C for the perfect pre- or post-workout boost of hydration. They also make a great healthy stocking stuffer idea. 

10. Protein bars

Another healthy stocking stuffer idea, these clean protein bars are made without any additives or preservatives and feature 12 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber, and 6.5 grams of whole grains. Perfect for snacking, breakfast, or post-workout, they’re also available in Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
