A selection box not going to cut it this year? L360 has rounded up the best gifts for fitness fanatics in 2025.
The festive period is undoubtedly a time to indulge in sweet treats, extra roast potatoes and a Buck’s Fizz (or two). And while we’ve probably all been gifted a chocolate selection box or a bottle of bubbles, what about a present focusing on fitness?
L360 has rounded up the best fitness gifts to leave under the tree this festive season, perfect for a gym-obsessed friend or family member or someone eager to begin their health journey in the new year.
Whoop Peak 5.0 Fitness Tracker
Know someone who’d appreciate a tech wearable? A fashionable, easy-to-wear option is the Whoop bracelet. Like other tech wearables, it should be worn 24/7 to track data including sleep performance. This can help build an optimal sleep schedule and provide understanding of stress levels.
What makes Whoop stand out is that the wearer can input behaviours like when they work late, when they have a coffee and when they read in bed to get an idea of how these behaviours impact their biometric trends. They can then get a better understanding of what to do more — and less — of.
Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon
On the topic of wearables, among the most discreet options are smart rings — L360’s deputy editor Evelyn has already done a comparison of the two most popular (the Oura ring and the Ringconn). The only things to keep in mind are that you’ll need to know which finger the wearer will wear this on, and their ring size — so it might be a gift that’s not a total surprise, but it’ll be just as exciting to open.

Yogamatters Hemp Mini Buckwheat Bolster
If you have a friend that enjoys yoga at home, they might have a yoga mat already but not any other kit. A yoga pillow is certainly something they’ll use, even if they may not think to buy one themselves. Sometimes called a bolster, it can be used to make certain yoga moves more comfortable, ideal for stretches after a day of working at a desk.
Therabody Theragun Mini 2nd Generation Massage Gun
None of us get a massage as often as we’d like, but if your loved one often does intensive workouts, they probably need one as part of their recovery. Give them the gift of a massage equivalent whenever they like with the Therabody Theragun Mini. This small-but-mighty device is perfect for an at-home fix when the rebound ache begins after a heavy workout.

Scales for Christmas?

Sports Class Gift Card
If your loved one can’t exercise without being booked into a fitness class, a gift card is ideal for them. It’ll not only help with the new year health kick but also take off some of the pressure as fitness classes get pricier. Some of London’s most popular gyms and classes, including 1Rebel, Barry’s and Psycle, all offer gift card options that can be put towards block bookings.
