15 Great Gifts for Your Fitness Friend

FOR THE CARDIO LOVER

Who doesn’t love a great collab? This long-sleeve lululemon tech shirt is a collab with Peloton Apparel and features seamless construction to reduce chafe, mesh construction for breathability and 100% of the polyester in the shirt is recycled. What else could you want? How about the fact that this shirt is made with Silverescent tech that inhibits odor-causing bacteria? It’s lightweight enough for indoor spinning, but insulating enough to be your bruh’s new go-to for outdoor runs. You may want to grab one of these for yourself!

Long runs, interval training…if feet are involved, a good pair of recovery shoes are one of the best gifts for an active friend. Recovery shoes are meant to help relieve aching post-workout feet by giving generous cushioning and ergonomic support. Most of these come in the form of sandals, which are great, but not recommended for wearing outside the home. Enter the adidas Adifom Supernova shoe. Designed in the same footprint (pun intended) as their highly lauded Supernova running shoe, this all foam version gives you the super comfy cushioning of a recovery sandal in a wearable silhouette that’s perfect for outdoors and in. Stylish and sleek, they come in seven color options, including the white (shown below). Bonus, they’re also made from 50% recycled material.

It’s important to hydrate often and regularly before, during and after workouts. What’s a super easy way to keep them on track? How about a smart bottle that does it for them? The HidrateSpark Pro 21oz is a vacuum insulated, stainless steel water bottle with a brain. It tracks their water intake by syncing via bluetooth to the FREE HidrateSpark app, and when it’s time to drink, the LED smart sensor puck will glow to remind them (they can customize the color and frequency via the app).

Why is it always seem that decent workout shorts fall into either the ‘boring’ basic, or patterns that are so ‘dizzying they cause vertigo’ category? Enter the Turin Short by Peloton Apparel. This short has everything a guy could want – 7″ length that makes it versatile across a variety of activities, moisture-wicking and fast drying (courtesy of Peloton’s Output fabric), classic fit that makes it just right, easy-breathing liner and oh, yeah, a cool blue abstract pattern that looks good enough for throwing on for a weekend getaway. You may just want to flex on this one for yourself.

ON THE COURT

Whether it’s pick-up basketball games, fierce tennis foursomes or futsal, if you and your friends prefer to “settle things on the court” (friendly competition of course) then give them some high-scoring gifts they’ll love.

Basketball is a game of great footwork and mental coordination. One of the most used training methods (amateur and professional) is an agility ladder. And the best of these ladders have raised rungs (flat ladders don’t develop the muscle-eye coordination that the raised rungs do). This 30′ version from Holabird sports has rounded raised rungs that are non-slip, so they’ll stay in place against the accidental foot knock. It rolls up quickly for easy storage when not in use. Oh, and it’s also great for other sports training too, like tennis, volleyball, etc.

Holabird Sports, Oncourt Offcourt Sport Ladder $86.95

(on Sale NOW from $89.95)
