The 2015 Lean It UP Fitness Gift Guide: 10 Hot Fitness Gifts To Light Up The Holidays
6. Gymshark Sector Fitted Puffer Jacket
For the Instagram-obsessed, Gymshark is EVERYWHERE. But if you’re ever indulged, they actually make a high quality, affordable line of gym apparel and activewear.
One of our favorites for the months ahead — their Sector Fitted Puffer Jacket. Gymshark’s padded puffer is the perfect winter buddy to help any fitness nut brave the elements and make the arctic trek to the gym. And if you’re someone who appreciates comfort, the perfect jacket is the gift that keeps on giving for years after the fact.
It’s padded, warm-as-hell (it’s duck-down insulated), waterproof, and comes with a sleek, slim-fitting silhouette. Style x warmth x comfort, all for under $120. We’re all-in.
Get It: Men’s Gymshark Puffer Jacket, $106.99 | Women’s Gymshark Puffer Jacket, $91.99
7. Nike Joggers & Leggings
For anyone who trains seriously and goes hard in the gym, recovery is serious business.
The best way to recover in blissful style? Joggers. They’re like clouds for sore legs, and they’re the stylish, acceptable way to rock sweatpants in 2015 — whether you’re Netflixing or traversing the elements.
We love Nike’s classic Rally Joggers (for women) and their colored Camo Joggers (for guys). They’re wardrobe staples that you’ll never want to take off. Especially when it’s an arctic tundra for the next 3 months.
Get It: Nike Rally Joggers (Women), $65 | Nike Camo Joggers (Men), $120
8. ONNIT Primal Kettlebells
For your favorite Crossfitter or paleo nut, ONNIT’s Primal Kettlebells are a worthy addition to any home gym or stacked workout arsenal.
Sizes range from 18 lbs to 90 lbs and come in a variety of beastly faces, including bigfoot, gorilla, and orangutan. They look badass, they’re durable and chip resistant, and they’re capable of elevating any workout session into a high intensity tsunami that’ll send your muscles screaming.
Bonus points: they look killer as decoration in any fitness maven’s office.
Get It: Onnit Primal Kettlebells, $42.95-$214.95
9. Blue Apron
Diet and nutrition are slightly important when it comes to building and maintaining a lean physique. Naturally, given the garbage pumped out of the American food system and the proliferation of take-out apps, the ability to cook—and cook clean and lean—has become the foundation of any healthy diet.
It’s probably the most important investment anyone can make in their long-term health.
The problem with that — most people are utterly atrocious when it comes to chefery, and are too intimidated to try anything more advanced than sunny-side up eggs or blasé grilled chicken.
Enter Blue Apron. Blue Apron is a weekly meal-in-a-box service that delivers fresh, locally sourced ingredients straight to your door. Ingredients are all precisely pre-portioned to fit a given recipe, that way you never have to do any shopping or measuring and can get straight to work.
BA features a variety of recipes that are quick, clean, and lean—they cap at 500-700 calories per serving and take ~35 minutes—and come stocked with exact step-by-step instructions on what to do.
It’s cooking for dummies. Or like building IKEA furniture, in food form. It’s the perfect gift for anyone that wants to learn how to cook, expand their culinary repertoire, or just make eating healthy a fun and social experience.
Get It: Blue Apron, $59.94/week (3 recipes per week, each serves 2 people)
10. Ten Toes Inflatable Standup Paddleboards
For the spontaneous outdoor adventurer who’s always on the move, Two Toes’ Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboards are the definition of portable fitness.
Paddleboarding is one of THE best ways to hammer your core and build upper body strength, all while exploring the wilderness and zenning it up. Hell, you can even do paddleboard yoga and resistance band training. The only issue — a 14′ paddleboard isn’t the easiest thing to pack or stuff in a car, especially if you’re jetsetting cross-country.
The solution? Inflatables. Two Toes’ iSUPs range from 8-14′ when fully inflated, and measure in at a compact 1’x36″ when rolled up; they’re wicked strong, made from durable military-grade PVC and an EVA textured foam deck that’s capable of supporting up to 350 lbs when inflated; and come stocked with an adjustable paddle and detachable nylon fin.
When completely filled, it performs identically to the real deal.
Get It: Two Toes Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboards, $479.99–799.99
