24 Gifts for the Fitness Fanatic in Your Life
Everyone has that one friend who is on top of every new workout trend and whose aesthetic is all athleisure, all the time (if you don't know who that friend is, maybe it's you). Whether they're finding their zen in a yoga class or sweating out some stress in a cardio session, it seems like they're always looking for more workout gear or clothing to try. From compression leggings to travel-friendly yoga mats, here are 24 gifts that they can use to keep up their active lifestyle.
Under Armour UA Rush ColdGear Leggings ($70): Say goodbye to any excuses for staying inside during cold winter days. These compression leggings are made with a mineral-infused fabric that absorbs heat generated by your legs and reflects it back into your muscles.
Athleta Lofty Down Jacket ($198): This super lightweight down jacket will keep you warm to and from your next workout class. It's also basically a gift within a gift — the jacket packs into its own pocket for easy portability.
Bose SoundSport Free Truly Wireless Headphones ($169): Listen to your favorite workout playlist with a pair of sweat-resistant and truly wireless earbuds. The app also has a "find my buds" feature if you misplace one (or both).
2XU Power Recovery Compression Tights ($140): Recovery is important to every fitness lover's lifestyle, and a good pair of compression leggings can help reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. The 2XU recovery tights are moisture wicking and have compression down the legs and over the feet to increase blood flow.

New Balance NB Heatgrid Hoodie ($90): This hoodie is made with moisture-wicking fabric so it will keep you both warm and dry during and after sweat sessions. It also has nice extra features like reflective details, a zipper back storage pocket, and thumb loops.
Blue Apron Gift Card (Various): Give the gift of time and healthy food with a Blue Apron gift card. Each recipe includes fresh, non-GMO ingredients, and you can choose between a variety of menus, including vegetarian options.
Reebok PureMove Bra ($60): The PureMove bra is minimal in design but provides maximum support. The fabric is designed to react to your movements (and it comes in half sizes), no matter what activity you choose to do.
Altra Solstice ($90): The Altra Solstices are a lightweight, breathable running shoe. They also have balanced cushioning and foot-shaped toe boxes to give toes natural room to relax while walking or running.

Darn Tough No Show Socks ($16): A true sign of being an adult is appreciating socks as a gift. Once you try a pair of Darn Toughs, you won't want to put anything else on your feet. They actually stay in place — no more chafing or blisters — and they're antimicrobial, moisture-wicking, and guaranteed for life.
Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands ($10): Bring a workout wherever you go with a set of travel-friendly resistance bands. There are five different resistance levels, depending on how hard you want to push yourself.

TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller ($40): A good foam rolling session can help relieve tight muscles and knots, increase blood flow, and improve overall flexibility.
