Nutribullet 600 Series Blender

RRP: $79.99 / £69.99, nutribullet.com

Offering incredible value for money, the Nutribullet 600 would make a great little gift and it won’t break the bank. The 600W motor makes short work of whizzing up shakes and smoothies, as well as fruit, veg and nuts, and we like the combination of the 23oz / 680ml and 17.3oz / 511ml cups with a detachable handle for healthy nutrition on the go.

Jabra Elite 8 Active

RRP: $199 / £199, jabra.com

Buy now

Everyone loves earbuds for Christmas, and the Elite 8 Actives are an ideal gift for the runners in your life. We were impressed with how securely they fit for wing-free buds and sound quality is first class, with a deep, rich sound and no distortion no matter how high you crank them. 

Pulseroll Vyb Pro Vibrating Foam Roller

RRP: $138 / £129.99, pulseroll.com

The Pulseroll Vyb Pro is like two presents in one. You get the traditional recovery benefits of a foam roller with the bonus of massage gun-like controllable vibration for deeper tissue work. There are four speed settings between 1,200rpm and 3,500rpm and a pulse mode but our favourite feature is the finger-mounted remote control, which makes changing speeds a breeze mid-recovery session.

Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro Titanium 

SQUIRREL_TEXT_12855374

RRP: $435 / £350, consumer.huawei.com

Buy now

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro would make a classy gift for your significant other. It’s one of the more classically styled pieces of wearable tech and both titanium and ceramic versions look equally at home with sports gear or evening wear. Long battery life, plenty of fitness features and 30m water resistance are just a few of the reasons why it’s one of our favourite sports watches.

Jordan Fitness Premium Urethane Dumbbells

RRP: from $53.26 / £40 a pair, jordanfitness.com

Buy now

They may not make the easiest present to pick up from under the tree, but they’ll certainly be the gift that keeps giving. These premium urethane dumbbells can be picked up in pairs, up to a whopping 165lb / 75kg. We like their substantial handles and the wide weight range, which makes them ideal for less seasoned lifters too.

TRX Rubber-Coated Kettlebell

RRP: from $59.95 / £59.95, trxtraining.com

Product shot of a TRX Kettlebell

Buy now

Think kettlebells, not jingle bells, this Christmas. These rugged, rubber-coated bells have powder-coated handles and are available in eight weights from 8.8lb / 4kg up to 88.2lb / 28kg. We like that each kettlebell is colour-coded, which makes weights easier to identify when you’re switching it up during a session.

WaterRower Original Series

RRP: From $1,099 / £1,099, waterrower.com

Product shot of rowing machine

Buy now

It might be difficult to wrap, but the WaterRower would make a wonderful gift for any cardio lover. It’s a rowing machine unlike any other, using a unique water flywheel for a smooth, realistic and immersive rowing experience. It’s as much a work of art as a piece of functional fitness equipment, but it’s by no means the most expensive. We’d go for the cherry out of the six high-end wooden finishes available.

JaxJox 22.6kg DumbbellConnect

SQUIRREL_TEXT_12861391

RRP: $499 / £450, jaxjox.com

Product shot of JaxJox adjustable dumbbells

Buy now

If you think good old fashioned dumbbells might just not cut it for a present this year, how about these adjustable ones with a digital docking station and performance tracking app? The JaxJox DumbbellConnect uses a USB-powered digital dock for weight selection and you can sync the app for real-time data such as reps, weight, sets, time, average power and total volume. We appreciate that JaxJox hasn’t forgotten the basics, either, with comfortable grooved handles and secure locking plates.

AssaultBike Classic

SQUIRREL_TEXT_12865368

RRP: £749 – international shipping available, assault-fitness.co.uk

Product shot of air bike

Buy now

An air bike would make the perfect present for anyone looking to set up their own home gym. And the AssaultBike Classic is not only one of the best value air bikes around, it’s also seen as something of an industry standard. With a robust design, easy-to-access workouts, comfortable and adjustable contact points and a five-year warranty, it’s the first purchase we’d make when looking to set up a cardio pain cave at home.

TRX RIP Trainer

SQUIRREL_TEXT_12855624

RRP: $229.95 / £229.95, trxtraining.com

Product shot of TRX RIP Trainer

Buy now

The TRX RIP Trainer is our go-to piece of kit for core work, so we reckon it’d make a great gift for anyone into pilates or similar core-focused training. With a six-year guarantee it’s a real investment, and comes with a door anchor and carabiner, giving you options to use it indoors or outside. You get the medium 20lb / 9kg cord in the box, with four different resistance cords also available.
