This may be a good time to consider holiday shopping that doesn’t include ordering online and having things shipped. If you usually struggle with ideas for what holiday gifts to give friends and family, this article may help.
One good idea is to get your family, partners, coworkers, and friends a gym membership. If you only get them one or two months just to try it out, that would be a good idea. You may want to avoid spending the money it takes to buy an entire year of a gym membership if you think it may not be utilized. Another tip is to get them the gym membership and be sure you have one for yourself. You can support them at the gym and work out together. You could carpool and ride share as well.
This idea is especially helpful and smart if you have active friends who have very little space at home to utilize for exercise. Those who live in small apartments or rent out a bedroom are sure to feel claustrophobic and experience cabin fever at home. Helping them get out of their home and into a bigger warm building may be the key to boost their spirits.
Some gyms and exercise centers have gift cards available to buy as well. These can be used to get a membership, attend group exercise classes, purchase fitness merchandise, and more.
If your loved one likes to go swimming, check out which local places have open swimming times. If they enjoy playing basketball, find a gym with a couple different gymnasiums open for use. Each gym will come with its own set of benefits and options. Some gyms only have fitness equipment such as treadmills, stair steppers, and weight rooms. Some gyms have a wide variety of equipment, rooms, and facilities to meet your needs.
Whoever you want to give a gift to this year, it is wise to consider giving them an option for improving their health and wellness.
