What to Look For in Fitness Gifts For Mom

If you’re having trouble finding a great gift for mom, it’s understandable. After all, even the most perfect gift would likely fall short of showing her just how much you appreciate her.

However, you can still find something fantastic if you just know how to narrow down your search. Here are some considerations to make:

Interests

Clearly, you should start with areas of fitness that your mom is interested in. If she is a known yogi, then shopping yoga-friendly brands like Lululemon is a great place to start. Make a list of the activities you know your mom is interested in doing, and then the accessories that accompany those activities. 

We have some fantastic guides for equipment based around niche interests:

  • Outdoor equipment recommendations
  • CrossFit equipment
  • Bodybuilding equipment

Size

If you think apparel might be the right gift for Mom, then you need to know her size. I like to be sneaky and poke into my mom’s closet to peep the size of her running shoes and workout tops. Make a note of it somewhere you’ll remember—like in your phone—in case you see big deals pop up!

Space

How much room does Mom have for fitness equipment? You don’t want to show up with a large treadmill if she can really only afford the space for some resistance bands. Think about the footprint of your purchase before you check out. If your mother has a smaller home, consider shopping compact exercise equipment.

Fitness Gifts for Mom: FAQs

What do you buy a sporty mom?

It really depends on what kind of activity your mom enjoys. Some gifts are great no matter what her interests are: water bottle, shaker cup, activewear, gym shoes, or fitness tracker. Other gifts are more activity-specific, ranging from dumbbells to resistance bands to jump ropes to supplements.

What is a good gift for someone who likes to work out?

We love giving the gift of fitness, which could mean additions to their cupboard like water bottles, or additions to their home gyms like dumbbells, or supplements to their diet (who doesn’t love a tub of protein?).

What should I get a sporty mom for Christmas?

Tis the season to spoil mom! What kind of activities is she into? A gift card to her favorite athletic apparel store is sure to be used. If you know her interests specifically, you can add to her home gym with a jump rope, set of dumbbells, under-desk treadmill, or resistance bands.
