The Ultimate Festive Fitness Gift Guide

And just like that, we blinked and December arrived. ❄️

This Christmas, we want you to leave the sweat in the gym, not the high street, so we’ve pulled together a gift guide with ideas for everyone, from the New Year's resolutioner to full-on gym junkies.

So whether you're looking to treat a loved one or yourself, we've listed the most useful purchases we've made that support our own training and contribute to better all-round health.

And if you're feeling generous, you can treat your loved ones to 3 months of Another Round online personal training for just £150, delivered via a cute digital gift card (that's one less to wrap 😅).

Here's to making 2023 the year of well-being.

For the Home Exerciser

No Home Exerciser's kit is complete without the Kettlebell. Kettlebells can be used for a huge range of workouts and unlike lots of other home exercise equipment, don’t take up the whole room.

Not the first thing you think about when exercising, but filming your workouts will help you improve your form and technique. This sturdy, flexible tripod can help you take clear videos wherever you’re working out.

For the Gym Junkie

Always handy to have in your gym bag, and fits in a stocking! Liquid Chalk improves grip and prevents slippage when lifting heavy.

A duffel bag is much roomier than a rucksack, allowing you to bring all your gym equipment along with you, including headphones, gym shoes, towels and activewear.

Music is fantastic for focusing the mind and helping you dig deep and grind through those last few reps. Go noise cancelling too to drown out those gym-goer grunts.

For the New Year Resolutioners

A good water bottle is durable, easy to grip and large enough to help you stick to your water intake goal. So you can stay hydrated for the day without having to get up every five minutes to refill it.

Yep, they are a thing that exist, and they are great. The dark winter months are a challenge, even for the most active of us, so having a treadmill at home will add more physical activity to your day without stepping out of your front door. And now we’re working from home more, why not have one as part of your desk?

The step tracker is a simple but essential bit of kit, keeping you accountable for moving throughout the day and helping you reach your step goal.

Although your phone has a step counter, you’d be surprised at how much it can under-report your daily steps due to not always being on you. My steps went down by 2-4k per day when I stopped wearing a step-tracking watch.
