A soft, subtle, slim pair of leggings or gym tights could make for the perfect Christmas present for the fitness lovers.
A workout staple, leggings or tights can provide support, comfort and flexibility thanks to their durable yet stretchy fabrics, modern technologies and style.
4: Gym top or t-shirt
A simple yet effective wardrobe staple, a gym top or t-shirt can make a great fitness Christmas present, whether it’s a stocking filler or under the tree.
5: Gym trainers
Unboxing a fresh pair of gym trainers on Christmas morning is bound to light up their day and make them want to hit the gym or workout class.
6: Dumbbells, dumbbell sets and weights
Perfect for that person building their own home-gym or just someone who’s looking for something to keep in their room for in-between gym sessions, weights, including dumbbells and dumbbell sets, are great for Christmas presents.
Effective for home workouts, you can find budget-friendly options that’ll ensure they stay happy (and fit and healthy) for months after!
7: Exercise machine
If they’ve been wanting an exercise machine for a while, whether it be a treadmill or bike, then you’re in luck.
You can find machines that work specific parts of the body or help achieve a full-body workout, so it would be an excellent addition to their home-gym and it would be a great reason to stick to those fitness-based New Year’s resolutions!
8: Gym mat
Simple yet effective, portable, versatile, a gym mat can be their best friend, whether it’s a quick burst of ab workouts, a yoga class or a stretching session.

A water bottle is a vital item for anyone who’s into their fitness - staying hydrated is key!
You can find a variety of water bottles at Sports Direct, including the popular Stanley cups, coming in an abundance of colours, styles and designs, allowing for easy use whenever they’re working out!
10: Smartwatch or pedometer
For the tech-loving fitness fanatics, consider getting them a smartwatch or pedometer, a techy gift that’ll become a firm favourite when they’re working out.
They can watch their steps, times and other stats, helping them to create new challenges and beat their personal best!
