The Best Fitness Gifts of 2024

From top-tier home workout gear to treats for cold-weather athletes, here are some of our very best gift ideas this year.

It’s a cliché for a reason: The best workout is the one you keep doing consistently. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. For those days when motivation wavers, having awesome gear to use makes the experience that much more enticing and enjoyable. And that little nudge could be the difference between hitting the snooze button and lacing up your sneakers.

Whether you’re shopping for a devoted runner, a home gym newbie, or a winter-sports warrior, here are some of our favorite holiday goodies for athletes of all persuasions.

Rowing is a fantastic total-body workout, but home equipment can be a bulky eyesore. That's not the case with Hydrow's Wave, which can be stored vertically in seconds. If you're looking for more of a statement piece in your home gym, we love the green and yellow colorways, too.

Renoun is so sure you’ll love their gear, you can ski with it for up to five days and return for a full refund. But trust us, you won't need that refund.

There’s also an optional cold attachment ($89) to ease pain and swelling—no freezer required.
