20+ Gift Ideas for the Fitness Enthusiast

Yum

November 23, 2018 By Laura Ligos, MBA, RD, CSSD 3 Comments

We all have that person or friend who is really into fitness. It’s hard to know what to get someone who is into fitness when you yourself either are into a different kind of fitness or just really aren’t all that intersted in it. Today I’m bringing you my 20+ gift ideas for the fitness enthusiast in your life.

The good thing about those that are into fitness is that they can always use new gear because more likely than not their old stuff is stinky and stained. Feel free to grab them a gift card to Dick’s, Lululemon or Athleta, or check out the list below and make them sweat with joy!

Gift Ideas for the Fitness Enthusiast

They won’t stop talking about their love of fitness, so if you can’t beat them you might as well join them and treat them! Now they’ll be able to tag you on Instagram with their cool gear this year. Whether they do CrossFit, Orange Theory, Barre, Yoga, Pilates, or some combination of it all, these are the gifts they will love.

Gym Bag



Because they need something to put all their stuff in.

Jump Rope

Whether they jump rope for fun or do it in the middle of a workout, you want them to have their own cool jump rope.

Water Bottle

Hydration is important, namsayin?!

Shaker Bottle (here)

Because they’re probably using some ol’ plastic one they got when they were trying to be cool in high school.

Mini Bands (here)

For when they are annoying you because the gym is closed and you want them to be able to do something at home.

Fun socks

Because they want to show their own flair at the gym.

Headbands

Sometimes you need your hair out of your face, and by sometimes, I mean always and by always I mean you want to be fashionable and not have to wash your hair all at once.

Funny Fitness Apparel

If they do not wear their fitness on their shirts or high quality tracksuits, will their reps get counted?

Fitness Tracker

If they didn’t track it, they didn’t do it. And if they didn’t do it, they can’t show it off on social media. So, why not gift a smart silver wrist watch that can both be a timepiece and a fitness tracker?

Fitness Journal

Some into fitness like to keep it old school and write down their PRs.

Gym Membership

Globo gym? CrossFit? Yoga? Barre? Spin? Or, better yet, ClassPass

or maybe they want to do it on their own, have them try Aaptiv

You are sick of them talking about how they can’t afford a membership. Offer to pay for a month or so! There are options.

Mobility Solutions

They complain about everything hurting that they are dying, so give them a reason to stop complaining!

Thera Cane (here)

So they can give themselves a massage, while you make fun of them.

ROMWOD Susbscription (here)

So they can never have a rest day.

Foam Roller

So they can stop complaining about not having anywhere good to sit on the ground.

Muscle Stimulator Machine

They may not be an elite athlete but they want to feel like one, so why not let them!

Tape (here)

In case their hands are made of paper mache and you don’t want to hear about their torn hands anymore 🙂

Mug

Because you never really can have too many mugs. Especially mugs that express your obsessions.

Deodorant (here)

There are plenty out there but this one is my favorite, it’s a clean product, smells good, AND helps with the stink. It’s a win-win-win.

Because their stocking could use a refreshing gift.

What are you looking forward to getting your fitness enthusiast most this year?!

xoxo,

Sassy

💫Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since there appears to be an oatmilk shortage at your local Sbucks it might be in your best interest to get used to making it yourself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I couldn't find any local to me so I figured why not make it myself? It turned out great and now I’m obsessed. Not to mention a cold drink is far easier with a baby because I never have to microwave it 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what you’ll need:
☕️Coffee/Espresso
☕️Brown Sugar
☕️Vanilla Extract
☕️Cinnamon
☕️Oatmilk
☕️Ice
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excited yet? 😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You better be! This is so simple, delicious AND budget friendly. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know if you try it out. Tag @thesassydietitian
& make sure to save this and share it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can find the full recipe & nutrition information here: https://thesassydietitian.com/iced-brown-sugar-oatmilk-shaken-espresso-recipe-starbucks-copycat/

It’s been one year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been one year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
March 31st, the day I lost my first pregnancy. I was not ok but I’m getting there. I found other's journeys helped me so I want to keep sharing mine in hopes that we can normalize it & help bring more healing to those that need it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am 1 in 4. A statistic I didn’t know existed & didn’t ever dream of being a part of. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s easy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time helps you move forward but it doesn’t make you forget. I am so lucky to have a little man to hold in my arms every day  but that doesn’t mean my past is erased. I keep thinking "my baby would be X months old right now" even though I have a 7 wk old here that I love so much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember crying anytime I’d open social media. It was torture to see everyone pregnant & having babies. I was bitter, angry, upset & broken. I started to withdraw and became out of touch with even my closest friends. It sucked. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then I got pregnant again. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so scared. I was also bitter that my first pregnancy experience had been taken from me. I saw people posting about how they were scared to lose their baby but they didn’t. They had healthy pregnancies with no history of miscarriage. I was healthy. I prioritized my nutrition. I was active. I was careful. Why me? I also heard people joke about quarantine babies & I was angry because had my first not ended in loss it wouldn’t have been considered that. It wasn’t funny to me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So much has changed in a year and for that I’m forever grateful. I'm way less bitter now but I'm so much more aware of the anxiety that pregnancy brings to women. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to share what to say & not to say when someone experiences a miscarriage. Words matter and it can truly help someone’s healing process.

🍰SUGAR.🍰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s 🍰SUGAR.🍰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s gets a bad rap.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the thing. I’m not going to sit here and tell you it’s good for you and going to help you reach all your health goals ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m also not going to sit here and tell you that you should avoid it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The all or nothing approach has failed most (if not all) of my clients as well as myself. Sure, avoiding it may lead to that elusive 6 pack or desired body fat %age but it can also lead to disordered eating and missing out on life. Not to mention a 6 pack or low body fat does not always equate to optimal health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can eat sugar and lead a healthy life. It’s amazing how once we accept that many of us actually end up eating less of it because it’s no longer off limits. When we tell ourselves we can’t have something we always end up wanting it and eating more of it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give yourself permission to eat sugar and stop demonizing it. That doesn’t mean give up on your health it just means that we have to make space for it otherwise it will find a way to barge in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone is different and certain health conditions may mean that less is more when it comes to sugar. If you are struggling, get help! That’s what RDs are here for 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So have your veggies & eat your cake too ✌🏻& go snag this flourless chocolate cake recipe from @danasbakery while you’re at it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Xoxo, 
Sassy

💙Connor's Birth Story💙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💙Connor's Birth Story💙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈If my miscarriage taught me anything last year, it taught me that I am not in control of everything. A year ago I was struggling through a loss and now here we are with a new little dude. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤷🏻‍♀️I never thought I’d be one to share our story but if it can help even one person then I think it’s worth it. There is no perfect birth story and there is no gold medal for how you give birth. We need to acknowledge the mess and respect all those who have babies and how they choose to do it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻If you’re interested, you can readour story here: https://thesassydietitian.com/connors-birth-story/
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏🏻Remember this is our story and not medical advice. Please try hard to not pass judgement and recognize we all make our own choices and we made ours as they seemed right for us. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Welcome to the world Connor-man thanks for making me a mom and for teaching me so much through our journey so far. 💙🌈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
xoxo,
Sassy
