You could play a part in their journey to greater health by gifting them these practical and thoughtful gifts, so they can up their fitness game in the new year!
And we know that it can get a little crazy in the fitness world when it comes to prices of workout equipment, so we have divided the gift ideas into more expensive items (SGD50 and above) and affordable stocking stuffers (below SGD50), so you can choose the perfect gifts no matter who you are buying for.
SGD50 and above
Nike Joyride Dual Run
Make running fun for the reluctant runner in your life with the newly released Nike Joyride Dual Run, with the fun, spring-inpired design that makes putting them on to go for a run something to look forward to.

To make the gift extra special, you can even customise the design to your recipient’s liking here.

Is your friend really a fitness junkie if they aren’t sporting a fitness tracker on their wrist? The Charge 3 is one of the most advanced models from Fitbit, featuring automatic exercise recognition, 24/7 heart rate monitoring with advanced accuracy, as well as period and fertility window tracking.
It is also swim-proof for up to 50 metres so your swimmer friend can track their time in the pool without worrying about water damage.

Bose SoundSport Wireless Earphones
Music is every fitness junkie’s indispensable companion, be it for running or working out at the gym. But a lousy pair of earphones can be a major source of annoyance and distraction.
If you have ever heard a fitness-obsessed friend complaining about their workout earphones, be a pal and get them the Bose SoundSport Wireless Earphones, consistently one of the most highly rated sports earphones on the market. Besides powerful audio that is expected from a Bose product, these earphones are also sweat-proof, water-proof, and designed to sit securely and comfortably in the ears.
You can get the Bose SoundSport Wireless Earphones from Lazada or these retailers at SGD239.
Lululemon Double Roller
It seems like everyone and their fitness-loving mom own a foam roller these days, but this two-in-one Double Roller from Lululemon will definitely be a game changer. The outer roller has softer waves to gently massage the arms and legs, while the deep grooves on the inner roller will really work deep on the back muscles to release any tension accumulated from the 1workout. And the stylist marble design doesn’t hurt, either.
The Lululemon Double Roller retails for HKD480, approximately SGD84, on Lululemon’s website.
ClassPass Gift Card
If you friend is keen on joining fitness classes, get them a ClassPass gift card for them to trial the classes and find which ones to commit to. All you have to do is choose the amount, fill in their name and email, leave a message if you want, and the gift card will be sent to your recipient on your scheduled date. The amount that you gift will be applied to any membership plan that your recipient chooses.
There is no minimum amount you can gift, but you can use ClassPass’s estimates as a guideline. For example, an SGD59 plan would give the member 25 credits to book up to seven classes.
Under SGD50

Gaiam Grippy Yoga Socks
