Franklin Sports Pickleball Bag for Athletes

You can never go wrong with a good sports bag. If you have a friend or loved one who likes to work out away from home, then chances are they need a sports bag. This can hold clothing and shoes, gear, water, or anything else they need for their workout. The Franklin Sports Pickleball Bag, which is available on Amazon for $44.99, is a great option for any pickleball lovers as it can easily fit the paddles and balls needed for the game.

Fitness Accountability App Subscription

The best affordable fitness gift would be a subscription to a fitness accountability app, where one can enter their fitness goals and measure their progress. Lots of fitness apps, like MyFitnessPal, Strava, and Love HIIT, have tons of cool features for a detailed view of your workout journey.

Lifting Gloves for Weightlifters

A pair of lifting gloves could be a great gift. When I was in my mid-20s, one of my best friends complained about getting calluses from lifting weights, which would often fall off and bleed. For his birthday, I gifted him a pair of lifting gloves. He loved them and still uses them to this day.

They allow him to lift heavy weights in the gym without causing calluses. So, if your friend lifts heavy weights and you want to surprise them with a fitness gift, consider buying a pair of lifting gloves.

RDX Boxing Gloves for Fitness Enthusiasts

Finding the right present for fitness enthusiasts is an endless hunt. Thoughtful presents can make their day and give you a sense of accomplishment. On my brother's 25th birthday, I gifted him RDX boxing gloves with thick foam padding and professional knocking capability. They are easy to handle, and the hook-and-loop wrist straps provide a strong grip.

Considering his love for boxing and punching sandbags in the gym, I gave him these gloves, and he was over the moon. The cost of these seamless RDX boxing gloves is $33 on Amazon.

Relaxing Muscle-Soothing Bath Bombs

One time, after a particularly strenuous day, a colleague gifted me a set of muscle-soothing bath bombs. I remember sinking into the warm bath, hearing the fizzing sound around me, and feeling the stress melt away. In my opinion, for under $50, these bath bombs are the best fitness gift. They provide an unexpected, yet deeply appreciated, way to recharge after a taxing day or workout. Everyone should try it at least once!

Practical and Necessary Water Bottle

A swift kick in the behind to get someone to the gym, or the gift of motivation, would be killer. The best fitness gift under $50 is a water bottle—especially one that is easy to clean and fits in a typical car cup holder.

Being only a year into my return to the gym, I am always looking for ways to reduce excuses. If I am at the gym in the morning, I need water to help wake up. If I am at the gym after work, I need water to stay hydrated.

Yes, every gym has a water fountain, but waiting in line and risking germs is yet another possible excuse to keep me from the gym.

Bottles like the 21-ounce Hydro Flask Standard Mouth and CamelBak Eddy+ are great choices under $50.
