The holidays are getting closer and so it’s time to stock up on presents! Do you want to score the perfect gift for your favorite gym rat this year? These are the best Christmas presents for motivated athletes.
Lifting straps
Does the person you are buying a gift for enjoy strength training? Then you will definitely make them happy with lifting straps. You put these straps around your wrists and then wrap them around the handles of a weight to give yourself a little more grip. Whether an athlete is very advanced or just starting out, everyone can use this tool!

A new water bottle
Drinking enough water is important for all of us, but it is especially essential if you exercise a lot. Athletes can always use an extra water bottle, since they are always everywhere and nowhere.

A gift voucher for new sportswear
A motivated athlete never actually has enough sportswear. Your laundry basket will be full of sports leggings and sports bras all week long. If you really don’t know what exactly they need, you can never go wrong with a gift voucher. Giving a gift voucher may feel lazy and simple, but believe us, an athlete will certainly be happy with this.
A sports bag
As a motivated athlete, you can never have enough tools to take with you to the gym. Think of straps, a lifting belt, gloves and of course your water bottle and towel. And then you often also have to bring sportswear and shoes. A good sports bag is really indispensable! Does the person you are looking for a gift for not have a decent gym bag yet? Then this is the time to give them one.

A massage tool
People who spend more time at the gym than not will regularly suffer from muscle pain or injuries. A good massage tool is a real life saver for them! Would you like to tackle this gift in more detail? Then you can also give them a professional massage as a gift.

A sporty trip
Athletes often have a fixed routine. They go to the gym or sports club on fixed days and at fixed times and do the same type of workouts. To surprise them, take them on a sporty trip. This way you can pull them out of their routine in a fun way. Consider, for example, a ski trip, a hike or a boot camp.
Earphones
During a good workout you really can’t do without earphones or headphones. This allows you to really cut off from the outside world and focus on what you are doing. Wireless earphones are a real must!
