I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I geek out about all things fitness equipment. I always tell my husband to forget jewelry all I ever want is more gym equipment! Now I know that not everyone shares my intense enthusiasm for exercise paraphernalia. However, as we gear up for the most wonderful time of the year, I couldn’t resist curating the ultimate holiday wishlist for my fitness enthusiasts out there. And don’t worry, I’ve included items for all spectrums of the fitness gradient. Whether treating yourself or on the hunt for that perfect gift, these ten gems are guaranteed to sprinkle a little extra joy into your fitness routine!
1. Versa Grips: My Lifting Sidekick
Say goodbye to grip fatigue and welcome Versa Grips into your life! These were game changes for me as I progressed with increasing weight with my barbell deadlifts. Comfortable to wear and easy to wrap around the bar or dumbbells ensuring a sturdy hold and confident reps every single set.
2. Walking Pad: My Cardio Wonderland
This one is HIGH on my own holiday list this year! As the weather gets colder it’s so much harder to get bundled up and head outside for a walk. I love getting my steps in for the day but I HATE the cold weather. This right here is the perfect solution without being a bulky treadmill that takes up too much room.
3. Gym Duffle Bag: Stylish and Practical
With all of this new gear, you’re going to want a way to carry it all in the gym. Why not make a statement while carrying your workout essentials? Upgrade your gym gear with a chic and practical gym duffle bag that effortlessly blends style and functionality.
4. Lululemon Align Leggings: Luxe Comfort
These are seriously my all-time favorite leggings and I wish I could have them in every color. They are soft like butter and just the right amount of compression. 100% the epitome of comfort and style. I’m 5’4” so the 25” inseam goes to my ankle and fits perfectly. They also have a version with pockets if that’s your jam.
5. Landmine Attachment: Spice Up Barbell Workouts
Inject some much-needed variety into your barbell exercises with a landmine attachment. This is perfect for smaller home gym spaces and allows you to get all the benefits without taking up the space. It’s all about keeping those gains flowing from every angle.
6. Hip Circle Bands: Boost Those Glutes
You all know how I feel about working those glutes. These are the OG hip bands and frankly the absolute best. They have grips on the inside so they don’t slip or roll when using them and they are made of nylon so very durable and last forever.
7. Hip Thrust Barbell Pad: Comfortable Gains
I can’t talk glute gains without mentioning hip thrusters and this specialized barbell pad makes hip thrusts a comfortable affair. Add your hip circle to this and your glutes will thank you.
8. Foam Roller: Roll Away the Stress
Every fitness enthusiast needs a quality high-density foam roller. Perfect for post-workout recovery, mobility and so much more, it’s a must-have in my wellness toolkit – your body will thank you later. I recommend getting the longer 24” version to suit all your needs.
9. Myofascial Release Roller Balls: Targeted Relief
I’m a huge fan of lacrosse balls to get into those tight spots and so myofascial release. Think of this as lacrosse balls 2.0. These are great for neck tension, getting into tough calf muscles, and much more. Make sure to add these to your recovery regimen!
10. Athleta Salutation Joggers: Athleisure at its Finest
Be careful because once you put these pants on you’ll never want to wear another pair of pants again. These are the most comfortable joggers ever. Nothing beats putting these on after a long day and getting cozy on the couch with your favorite show. Recovery is just as important as the workouts and nothing says rest and recovery like these pants!
There you have it, my fitness friends! These are the goodies that top my holiday wishlist, and I can’t wait to share the joy. Happy holidays and here’s to staying fit, feeling fabulous, and ready to conquer every workout in the coming year!
