The best fitness gifts have to walk a precarious line: On one hand, they have to be truly functional, something the recipient can integrate into their newly budding or perfectly honed gym routine for an instant upgrade. On the other hand, a fitness-adjacent gift shouldn’t leave the person doing the unwrapping wondering, “Wait…are they saying I need to spend more time working out?”
Like a good training routine, the best fitness gifts should cover the basics and aim for results. Think always-needed essentials like a new tee, tank, or hoodie from high-quality, stylish athletic brands, or proven tools like a foam roller or strength-building gripper. Or, break the rules and go for gold with something truly unique, like a heated massage gun, running shoes built by robots, or swim goggles from the year 3000. It’s all below, along with plenty of other fitness gift ideas and GQ Fitness Awards winners they didn’t know they had on their wishlist.
