Gym gear makes a great gift, namely because many people hesitate to buy it for themselves. Perhaps you have a family member who's worked out in the same cotton undershirt for years because it's "practical." Maybe your bro mixes his protein powder in a Dasani bottle. This is your chance to change the game for someone you love. (And even if they're already well equipped, something fresh is always nice.) Arm them with high-performing threads, energy-boosting supplements, and functional, durable accessories to upgrade their gym experience. Then take credit for their results.
