Racks: The Gift of Bigger Gains
If they’re serious about lifting, a solid rack is non-negotiable. Luckily there are plenty of designs to fit their fitness goals and space. Here are a few to get the juices flowing.
Power Rack – Traditional racks provide the safety, stability, and versatility to lift with confidence, and even come in folding designs if they’re short on space.
Squat Stand – A squat stand is great for anyone short on space and offers support for barbell squats and other exercises.
Half Rack – A half rack is a good middle ground, offering more protection than a squat stand and a smaller footprint than a full rack.
Rack Accessories and Attachments – One great thing about racks is how versatile they are. Consider gifting them a rack attachment or add-on. Think spotter arms, leg curl extensions, rack-mounted landmines, dip attachments, pull up bars and more.
Weights: Dumbbells, Kettlebells, and More
If they’re all about strength, you can’t go wrong with adding to their weight collection. Luckily, there are a ton of great gift options for newbies and long-term gym veterans.
Dumbbells – No home gym is complete without a good set of dumbbells. This makes them great for someone just starting out, or anyone looking to expand their dumbbell collection.
Kettlebells – Already stocked on dumbbells? Consider shaking up their routine with a kettlebell. These are great for adding functional movement to their lifting to change up a stale routine.
Barbells and Weight Plates – If weightlifting is their thing, a good barbell and weight plates is a versatile gift they’ll be able to use with their bench, power rack, or for Olympic lifts.
Specialty Bars – If your SO wants to focus on a specific muscle group, show them some love with a specialty bar that targets that area.
Barbell Collars – If they’re still using flimsy, unreliable collars to lift, a nice set of high-quality collars could revamp their lifting game (and keep them safer while they workout).
Adjustable Weights – If your valentine is short on space, help them rein in some of the chaos with a space-saving adjustable dumbbell or adjustable kettlebell.
Bench - Think about upgrading their setup with a top-quality adjustable bench that offers flat, incline, and decline positions for more versatility.
Cardio Equipment: A Gift from the Heart
Make their heart race in all the right ways. If your person is a cardio junkie, consider getting them gear that’ll have them sweating—and loving every second of it. Whether it’s something to take on the road or indoor equipment for a rainy day, here are a few ideas to shake up their cardio routine:
Rowing machine – A standing or seated row machine can be a great way to change up their cardio routine.
Fan bike - If your SO loves to bike, try gifting them an indoor fan bike so they can get some miles in even when the weather isn’t great.
Weight vest – If you have a runner on your hands, a weight vest is a thoughtful gift that will challenge them when they’re in their element.
Ruck weight – A ruck weight is great for tossing in a backpack for a more challenging run, or for using during bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, crunches and more.
Functional Fitness: Real Strength for Real Life
Functional fitness builds explosive power, speed, and agility—all things that transfer over to other fitness goals. Gifting them functional fitness gear will help them build dynamic strength that will keep them healthy long-term and help them in any other fitness pursuit they’re passionate about.
Plyo/Jump Boxes – If they’re trying to increase their agility, a plyo box will help them push themselves and reach new heights.
Slam Balls – Give them a gift that will get them fit and allow them to blow off some steam. Slam balls offer explosive full-body training and are just plain fun to use.
Carry Equipment – If you have a Strongman on your hands, carry equipment is the way to go. Add to their collection with a yoke, weight harness, or a Husafell Stone.
Battle Ropes – Battle ropes are another high intensity choice and come in plenty of attachment options like wall, floor, and rack mounts.
Sandbags – A good quality sandbag is an excellent way to add something new to their setup that will get plenty of use. Look for features like adjustable weight, handles, and a sturdy closure system.
Unique Gear: Something Cool to Add to Their Collection
Get them something extra special to display in their space for motivation. Here are a few pieces anyone would love to add to their collection.
Thor Hammer – This is possibly the coolest gift you could give someone. Who wouldn’t want to feel like a Norse god while building core, shoulder, and grip strength? Plus, they make for a cool conversation starter.
Limited Edition Barbell – Any fitness enthusiast would love to have a piece of limited edition equipment hanging in their workout space. Pick a design you know they’ll love for a memorable gift.
Weight Club – A weight club is a fantastic gift that will let them tap into functional strength in a whole new way. They may be less common than barbells and weight plates but are super effective.
Loadable Globe Barbell – Want to get them something unique they’ll actually use? A loadable globe barbell lets them adjust their barbell to different weights and looks pretty sweet from an aesthetic standpoint.
Storage: For the Person Who Has It All
The more they build their gym out, the more storage they’re going to need. Gifting them the perfect storage solutions will let them spend less time searching and more time working out.
Modular storage system – If they have gear piling up, a modular storage system is a great way to gift them storage they can customize and add to over time.
Free Standing and Portable Storage – Free standing storage is a versatile gift that will allow them to easily redesign their gym as needed.
Portable Storage – Portable storage is something anyone would appreciate. Think wheeled weight plate and barbell holders that can be moved around so their gear is always at their fingertips.
Wall-Mounted Storage – If their home gym is on the smaller side, compact wall-mounted storage will definitely be appreciated, and there are wall-mounted storage options for just about anything, from medicine balls, to barbells, to resistance bands.
Protein or Supplements: Something to Fuel Their Gains
If your sweetheart already has all of the equipment they need for a killer workout, consider giving them a supply of their favorite pre or post-gym protein or supplements to fuel their fire.
Pre-Workout Powder – Give them the energy and endurance to push themselves further with pre-workout powder for a unique fitness gift they’ll love.
Protein Powder – If your person is passionate about crushing PRs, a supply of protein powder will help them build muscle and recover after intense workouts.
Pre-Biotic and Pro-Biotic – Health starts in the gut and affects everything from nutrient absorption, energy levels, and even recovery. That makes pre-biotics and probiotics a great choice for anyone wanting to maximize their workouts.
