Bustle's Most Wanted: The Best 2019 Gifts For Fitness Lovers

By Kelsey Lawrence

Between expensive workout clubs and a sea of juice shops, it feels like wellness and fitness trends are now inextricable from our everyday lives. Working out is also the serotonin-boosting gift that keeps on giving, whether it helps to keep you sane during the holidays or makes you feel good after a long work day.

This year, instead of gifting a sweater that will be quietly returned, check out these 12 gifts for the fitness buff in your life. They’ll think of you each time they check out a new barre class or take a swig of water, and it will also kick off their new year with an energizing boost.

Samsung Galaxy Buds
$129.99
|
Samsung
Back in the old days (pre-wireless earbuds), it took what felt like hours to untangle earbuds wound in a knot or have them yanked out of your ears when they snared on a stranger’s bag. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds are the future we want. These True Wireless earbuds are lightweight, store easily in a purse, and fit in your ears comfortably. Get up to 13 hours of battery life* when you are on the go with a case that doubles as a wireless charger. The Galaxy Buds also one up competing wireless earbuds by being compatible with Android and iOS devices. They also have a more affordable price point at $129.99.
Work It Out Gym Bag
$35
|
Band.do
Not all gym bags have to be reflective and in utilitarian color palettes. This fun, rose-patterned bag by Ban.do is just as useful with a sturdy twill exterior, two side pockets, and wide, comfortable straps. Whether you’re using it at the gym or for a weekend trip, you’ll be—we have to say it—pretty in pink.
Spiralizer 5-Blade Vegetable Slicer
$25.99
|
Amazon
While lots of grocery stores now offer pre-packaged zucchini noodles, they often either arrive soggy or become that way quickly. With the Spiralizer 5-Blade Vegetable Slicer, you can make fresh veggie noodles in no time. Also ideal for someone on a special diet, whether Paleo or gluten-free, this slicer creates healthy, filling meals within a minute, no slicing or dicing required.
The Larq Self-Cleaning Bottle
$95
|
Goop
This might be the coolest water bottle ever. Water bottles used at the gym can get dingy quickly, but with the Larq Self-Cleaning Bottle, your water will be purified every time. Here’s how it works: a digital UV-C LED light purifies the water every two hours or whenever you press the bottle’s button. Also, a portion of the bottle’s proceeds are donated to 1% for the Planet, so you’ll be feeling good while you stay hydrated.
Sakara Life Gift Card
$50
|
Sakara Life
The proliferation of healthy meal delivery services is a godsend for people who don’t have the time or energy throughout the day to prepare intricate meals. Sakara Life, with celebrity recommendations from Chrissy Teigen and Gwyneth Paltrow, delivers nourishing, plant-based food that will boost your energy through delicious meals, from lavender tea biscuits for breakfast to red-beet burgers for dinner.
P.volve Full Body Workout Lifetime Plan
$299
|
P.volve
The P.volve workout—an app where you can stream over 200 videos and customize your own workout plan—has been touted as a favorite of Victoria’s Secret Angels. It’s a low-impact workout that fuses yoga and pilates with emphasis on toning through functional movement. New classes are added every week, and though P.volve’s site sells equipment like workout balls and trainer sessions, you can choose the option to do the classes prop-free.
Nike Sportswear Heritage Fanny Pack
$25
|
Nike
For workout efficiency, you can’t beat the classic fanny pack. Whether in DayGlo rave colors or an understated pastel, it’s still the easiest way to hold your wallet and keys when you’re on a jog or out dancing. Nike’s Heritage Fanny Pack comes in a variety of trendy palettes—we’re fans of the pink-and-gold option—and has a mesh compartment inside for extra security. Its slender design will also keep it out of your way while you’re walking.
Ultra-Thin Compact Treadmill
$999
|
The Grommet
This is a workout lifesaver for the apartment dweller who’s cooped up inside during cold weather. Treadly’s compact treadmill folds up to be stowed under couches or in closets, and it’s amazingly thin and light. The treadmill is also button-free, using your body’s position to start, stop, and adjust speed. Use it while watching TV or turn it into a treadmill desk as you work.
Everlast Women's Powerlock Training Gloves
$54.99
|
Dick's Sporting Goods
These gloves have two important functions: They help prevent hypertension by providing wrist support and they look pretty cool hanging in a bedroom. Everlast’s iconic gloves are designed specifically for a woman’s hands and wrists, and they guide your hand into a natural first position.
Klean Insulated Food Canister Set
$51.68
|
Klean Kanteen
When you’re going from the gym to the office, or vice versa, it’s hard to keep your yogurt or salad fresh while you’re commuting. These Klean Kanteen canisters will be a money saver and a food saver. Made out of insulating stainless steel, the containers are said not to absorb food flavors or odors, and the lid is made out of recycled, corrugated cardboard.
ClassPass Gift Card
$19
|
ClassPass
For the person who might be looking to change up their fitness routine or sample a variety of workouts, from yoga to kickboxing, ClassPass is a great option. You can get gift cards at varying prices, and it’s a particularly thoughtful gift for someone who just moved to a new city and wants to try out new studios. It’s also cost-effective, with membership starting at $19 per month versus the $20+ per class that someone might pay at a studio.

Average battery life of Galaxy Buds without charging is up to 6 hours, based on typical usage. Case provides up to another 7 hours of battery life for Galaxy Buds when Galaxy Buds are stored and charged between use. Battery life will vary.
