The holidays are coming up quick. Finding the right gift for your loved ones or your favorite gym buddies can be stressful. Thankfully, the WOD Life has come up with a solid gift guide for 2017. There’s something for everyone. Here are a few of our favorite items for that special someone.
For Him
The man in your life would benefit greatly from fitness apparel that will not only accentuate the body they worked hard for, but also improve their performance. These snatch shorts provide protection where he needs it most. They also provide compression without sacrificing mobility. Part of being a CrossFit athlete is being good at everything, so don’t forget to give him shoes that allow him to give his best in any workout.
Her
Your favorite female athlete probably loves thoughtful little gifts that are also practical. One such gift is the RIPT Skin Systems kit to help heal the rips that come with pull-ups and kettlebell swings. It reduces possible downtime and helps injuries heal as quickly as possible.
She might also love these shorts that will give her comfort, protection and maximum performance. These are perfect for any exercise — running, yoga, functional fitness, lifting and more. Plus, they’re 100% non-see through.
The Beginner
Everyone has to start somewhere. Whether as a welcome gift or as a way to tell them you’re proud of them, you can start off by giving that special person a beginner’s kit. There’s one for men and another one for women to suit their needs. The basic kit has a great beginner’s rope, grips, a shaker bottle for water or protein drinks and wrist wraps for extra support.
You can also get them a mobility kit, which contains a lacrosse ball to ease muscle pain and resistance bands to help you get started on your pull-ups and other fundamental movements.
The Expert
The Crossover Symmetry System is a complete kit that’s great for any fitness or experience level. The expert athlete in your life would be happy to have this kit, which helps promote shoulder health to help achieve peak performance in any WOD.
For better recovery, a lacrosse ball is a cheap and effective way to add pressure to important points in the body for relieving muscle pain. As simple as it seems, it enhances the experience of any athlete.
The Masters Athlete
A masters athlete would love something to help them achieve peak performance. Especially for someone who competes, a gift like Rebel Coffee Co Performance Blend Coffee could give them that extra kick right before a hardcore WOD or competition.
In between events or post-workout, an electronic muscle stimulator from PowerDot that is compact and travel-friendly would be great for recovery, warm-up and passive training.
The Weightlifter
Every weightlifter benefits from quality weightlifting shoes. The ADIPOWER weightlifting shoes offer good support with a secure fit. Help your loved one step up confidently to the barbell.
For Christmas, the WOD Life is offering something that your favorite weightlifter would love to have in their own home or garage gym. For the upcoming holidays, you can get the Armortech HD Squat Stack at 50% off. It has a commercial-grade rack and safety spotter bars — ensuring strength, precision, performance and power.
The Powerlifter
Being a great athlete requires proper nutrition. If you want to give a gift to a powerlifter, help them make sure they get all the right nutrients by giving them a King Kong FUEL Meal Prep Backpack. This contains six meal containers, which can be divided into the top and bottom compartment to separate meals. The insulation the backpack provides keeps your meals warm and your drinks cold.
Another gift they might love is this Armortech V2 Performance Bar which offers top quality at a affordable price point. It’s one of the best of the best for training and competition.
The “Gymnasty” Athlete
If you’re looking for a gift for an athlete that loves being a gymnast, they’ll love these RooGrips. Made with kangaroo leather, they serve as a second layer of skin offering protection for when you deal with bars. These prevent injury that comes with intensive training.
Lastly, don’t forget to give them a RIPT Skin Systems kit for the same purpose. Protected hands mean fewer injuries, less downtime and more time killing it at the gym.
Still unsure of what to get? The WOD Life suggests you give one of the most powerful gifts of all: the gift of choice. Get them a gift card for as low as $15. It’s super quick and easy.
Happy Holidays!
