The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide For Women (2024): The Best Fitness Gifts For Her

The yogi in your life will love this grippy Gaiam yoga mat for all her downward dog and mobility drill needs. The grippy texture stays put and is also thick enough to provide cushion to the ankle, knees, and hips. You can choose from a variety of colors, plus it’s reversible!

We can attest this handheld water bottle is the perfect hydration accessory for the avid runner or walker in your life. She’ll barely have to grip the water bottle with the adjustable strap and the ergonomic curve. It’s also super to open the cap with one hand.

If the woman in your life makes a point to train her glutes, this band is going to take her booty pump to the next level. Say goodbye to flimsy plastic bands from Amazon and hello to this durable fabric band that won’t roll, snap, or tug at her skin.

An underrated workout gift is a high-quality performance sock. These cushioned socks made from a merino wool reduce moisture (and odors). We loved testing these socks, and we think this will be her go-to pair for workouts, runs, and everyday wear. You might even want to snag two pairs!

She’s going to love how much versatility you can get from these long-loop resistance bands. She can stash them in her gym bag and take them anywhere. Loop bands are perfect for warm-up exercises, post-workout stretching, pull-up assistance, or high repetition at-home workouts.

These gym towels come in a pack of different sizes with a mesh carrying case for convenience. The soft material is gentle on sensitive skin, and they dry quickly. Plus, they come in a variety of colors to suit any style.

Is your gal chipping away to outfit her home gym? Does she love lifting with a barbell? Well, it might be time for her to have her very own 15-kilogram (33-pound) barbell for everything from overhead press to deadlifts. Plus, she’ll like knowing this is the same bar used in the CrossFit Games.

If she loves picking things up and putting them down, a pair of bumper plates might be the best gift for her. These bumper plates are some of our favorites because they’re super durable and don’t bounce too much when they’re dropped (which we like for safety reasons).

We absolutely love these adjustable kettlebells—they are super versatile and can be used for both strength and conditioning exercises. In fact, if the woman you’re shopping for is new to lifting, this might be an ideal choice because she will be able to do so much with them.

Adjustable dumbbells are one of our favorite hacks for home gyms. Why? Because you get a wide variety of weights that take up far less space than a set of traditional dumbbells. We know your gal will love a set of these sleek and modern adjustable dumbbells for that same reason.

If she loves working on balance, the Bosu ball is the OG balance trainer. It’s a great choice for ladies of all ages and fitness levels—it can help beginners find their balance and can create more of a challenge (with minimal equipment) for experienced lifters.

Women who have the wall space (and overhead clearance) will enjoy the indulgence of a wall-mounted pull-up bar. She’ll not only be able to practice pull-ups, but work on her core and grip strength, too.

Women who work out a lot often need relief from sore, achy muscles. This acupressure mat set comes with everything she needs to remove tension in her neck, back, and shoulders—an extra-long mat, a pillow, and two massage balls.

A warm bath can help the woman in your life relax after a hard workout or long day at work. We love Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt Wellness Therapy because it has a pleasant scent, dissolves, well, and is affordable.

A red light therapy belt like this option from Lifepro is great for relieving soreness in the legs, back, and arms. Our testers found it easy to use and appreciated the mulitple color choices.

If your loved one likes going hard on leg day, she’ll also enjoy these compression boots to help her recover. They’ll help improve circulation and promote blood flow so she can get back in the gym quickly. They come in multiple sizes, too.

If you don’t have the space or budget for a full sauna, gift the woman in your life with the next best thing—a sauna blanket. The Sun Home Sauna Blanket uses infrared light technology, which can help relieve pain and reduce fatigue.

RumbleRollers make an excellent gift for anyone seeking targeted pain relief. Unlike traditional foam rollers, RumbleRollers are covered in firm bumps to deliver even more pressure and work out muscle knots and trigger points.

The Garmin vivoactive 5 is stylish, comfortable, and tracks a wealth of data. Whether the gift recipient is an elite athlete wanting to gain an edge over the competition or a casual gym-goer looking for more health insights, this smartwatch is sure to please.

The Oura Ring is a more discreet health tracker that’s great for women who don’t want a bulky smartwatch. Our testers were especially impressed with its sleep tracking capabilities, 7-day battery life, and quick charging time.

We love Tonal for anyone who wants to get stronger but doesn’t have enough room for bulky strength equipment. The coaches are fantastic, the workouts are fun and engaging, and the machine can automatically adjust the weights for different rep schemes and exercises.

This 360-degree speaker is powerful enough to fill an entire garage gym with music. It will last for up to 13 hours on a single charge and it has an IP55 rating, meaning it’s water- and dust-resistant, so the gift recipient can even take it out by the pool if she wants.

Jumping rope is a fantastic cardio workout that can be done anywhere, but it can be hard to keep track of your reps. The Tangram SmartRope jump ropes sync to an app on Android or iOS devices and can track reps, workout time, and more.

Creatine is a terrific gift for the woman in your life who is looking to increase not only her muscle size, but strength as well. Creatine can help her replenish the energy required to lift on a regular basis and help her grow lean muscle mass. What’s not to love?

For the person who lifts weights, drinks protein powders, and takes recovery from training seriously, this advanced ZMA formula can help her muscles relax and allow for a deeper, more restful sleep. We’ve tried it ourselves, and we love it.

This is the protein powder for women who are serious about their macronutrients. From just one scoop, she’ll get 25 grams of protein and very few grams of carbohydrates and fats. Plus, there are three delicious flavors to choose from.

For the vegetarian or vegan in your life, this is the protein powder she wants! This is literally the best tasting plant-based protein powder we’ve tried—and we’ve tried a lot. She will appreciate that you introduced her to this delightful experience.

For female athletes and exercise fanatics looking for a performance boost, BCAAs could be the answer! BCAAs are the building blocks of protein, aka muscle-building power. This BCAA bend also includes l-glutamine (which can assist with endurance and improve overall performance).
