2. Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells

The Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells are some of the most highly sought-after pieces of home gym equipment out there, perfect for your loved one that prefers a home gym. 

These compact adjustable dumbbells come in a variety of models to suit the strength level of any lifter. Best of all, you can easily adjust the resistance level with the quick turn of a knob to hit your entire body and then easily store the dumbbells out of the way when finished with your workout. They’re perfect for those who don’t have a lot of space to work with.

Buy them here, or last minute at Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods or Best Buy. 

3. Hyperice Hypervolt Massage Gun

One of the hottest gym lover gift ideas out there is the trendy massage gun. With so many out there, one of the best units for the value is the Hyperice Hypervolt Massage Gun. With various attachments and speeds, you can crank it up or down according to the muscles you’re using it on and how tender/sore they may be.

If you’re lucky, they’ll share and let you use it on yourself to massage sore muscles, relieve stress and tension, and help improve muscle recovery. 

Buy it here, or last minute at Best Buy or Target. 

4. Protein Powder/Protein Bars

How could you have a list of gym lover gift ideas without the good old staple of a protein powder or protein bars? Sure, it’s “basic,” but let’s be real, it’s something all fitness enthusiasts love and use regularly. 

Buy something new that your loved one has never tried, or play it safe with the tried-and-true protein supplements they use daily to restock their stash of muscle-building goodness. 

5. Beats Studio Buds or Apple AirPods Pro

Let’s be real… can you really crush a workout without listening to your favorite music to get you going? It’s time to up your family and friends’ music game with a fresh pair of earbuds. The two most popular these days are the Beat Studio Buds as well as the new Apple AirPods Pro (2^nd Generation). 

Both earbuds provide excellent sound quality and noise cancellation. While the Apple AirPods Pro will tend to pair better with an iPhone, the Beats Studio Buds will go head-to-head with the AirPods, regardless of what phone you pair them with. But one thing’s for sure, you can’t go wrong with giving a quality pair of wireless, Bluetooth earbuds to the fitness lover on your list. 

Buy them here, or last minute at the Apple Store.
