Are you lost about what to get the number one man in your life? Does he spend hours in the gym? Does he love all things fitness? Is his automatic response when you ask what he wants for Christmas, “I don’t care.”

Well, good news! The person I just described is me! In this list, I cover 20 categories of things I own and love or think are awesome and would love to own. That means, if you answered yes to the questions above, there’s a good chance your main man will love these gifts as well.

(If you stumbled upon this list and need to buy something for her, most of these gifts will still be great options!)

I’ve broken the list down into three price categories (Note: Where these items are placed on the list is based on Prices at the time of writing. Prices may fluctuate.):

  • Stocking Stuffers: Under $20

  • Big but Budget Friendly: Under $100

  • All out: Over $100

Stocking Stuffers



1) Padded Lifting Straps

These are great for being able to lift more weight on big lifts like deadlifts and rows if grip strength is a limiting factor.

2) Shaker Bottle

You can never have too many shaker bottles! A shaker bottle can also be easily customized to be an affordable and thoughtful gift. (Tip: Purchase their favorite color and put a personalized vinyl sticker on it.)

3) Preworkout Funnel

If he goes to the gym on the way to or on the way from work, it’s helpful to pack light and be quick and efficient. Being able to have a serving of his preworkout in a preworkout funnel, ready-to-go, will check all those boxes.

4) Ab Wheel

Ab roll-outs are a fun and challenging ab exercises that can be done from home. Having an ab wheel will allow your man to work on that sweet six pack anytime he wants.

5) Blood Flow Restriction Bands

Blood flow restriction training allows individuals to produce muscle growth while using lighter weights. You can find purpose made bands or you can use cheaper quick-release tourniquets.

6) Insulated Water Bottle

Regardless of what type of fitness your man is into, he’ll need to stay hydrated. This insulated water bottle will keep his drinks cold and even comes with three types of lids! There’s even a coffee lid option if he wants to take his coffee on the go!

7) Loop Bands

Loop bands are great to use during squat warm up sets for cuing proper form or for stand-alone exercises to target the smaller muscles of the hip.

8) SBD Deadlift Socks

If he’s performing deadlifts correctly, he will scrape his shins with the bar. Protect his skin with SBD brand socks. SBD is one of the best brands in the powerlifting business.


Big But Budget Friendly


9) Preworkout

Whether he’s dragging himself out of bed to go to the gym or working out after a long day at work, preworkout will help him make it through to the end. PEScience preworkouts aren’t filled with garbage ingredients either. You’ll only find the good stuff in there.

10) JLabs JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds

Looking for true wireless earbuds for $50 can be pretty sketchy, but these are the exception. I can personally vouch for the quality of these earbuds. They’re comfortable, sound good, and have great call quality.

11) Versa Gripps Pro

Standard lifting straps are great, but Versa Gripps Pro are better. They’re quicker to use and there’s no need to take them off between sets.

12) Inzer 10mm Belt

If he wants to move as much weight as possible (and move it as safely as possible), he needs to be using a lifting belt. (I personally own the red, white, and blue prong belt.)

13) Knee Sleeves

Similar to the lifting belt, knee sleeves can help him move more weight on leg movements and can help him do so more safely.

14) Protein Powder

Nothing says “gains on the go” quite like a tub of protein powder. (My favorite flavor is Banana Cream.)

15) Isolator Fitness Meal Bag

In my opinion, the ISOBAG is the best bag for the money. My wife and I both own one. The best part is, the bags are modular. You can add backpack straps and a duffle to make your meal bag double as a gym bag

16) Rada Knife Block Set

Nutrition is one of the most important (and overlooked) aspects of fitness. Making cooking quicker and easier by having nice, sharp knives will help ensure more meals are prepared at home and fewer meals are from the fast food line.

17) Ninja Coffee Bar

Many people use coffee as their preworkout. Even if your man doesn’t… coffee. Who doesn’t love coffee?

18) Shoes Specific To His Fitness Activities

(NOTE: Shoes may fall in the under $100 category or over $100 category depending on the type.)

Olympic Weightlifting shoes: If he does olympic lifting or powerlifting, the Adidas Adipower are an amazing shoe.

The Adidas Adipower can sometimes be hard to find. If you can’t find them in his size, the Nike Romaleos 3 would be my second pick.

Cross Training Shoes: If he’s more into things like Crossfit, the Nike Metcon 4 would be my choice. These would be a great choice for a general purpose gym shoe as well.

Running Shoes: If he’s a psychopath, I mean a runner, I’d recommend the Nike Flex Contact 3. These are also a great general purpose shoe and are what I typically wear to the gym.


All Out


19) Jabra Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbuds

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are the true wireless earbuds I wish I had. They’re sweat resistant, dust resistant, and have a built in accelerometer for step counting. Their design also seals the ear against outside noise. (An in-app option allows noise to pass through if you want to hear your surroundings.)

20) Smart Watch

Smart watches have many great fitness and health tracking features now. If you really want to wow your number one guy, this is the way to go.

If you think none of these gifts are right for him, here are a few honorable mentions:
