Our Top Fitness Gift Recommendations
These machines would look even better with a big red bow. Here are our four favorite gifts for the holiday season.
müüv Bike
Best for your active spouse
Give a gift with a fun aesthetic and personal touch. Yes, we’re talking about an exercise bike! Powered by your smartphone, the müüv Bike combines sleek design with smart audio coaching technology. Translation: an app speaks to the bike and vice versa.
The müüv Bike seamlessly connects with the free müüv app, which offers smart audio coaching. As the app leads you through workouts, your “coach” will tell you when to change resistance or your position on the bike. You can adjust the intensity of your workout with your voice or by pressing a button.
The bike and included heart rate strap allow the app to make adjustments on your behalf to help you reach your goals. Say “yes,” and the bike will automatically adjust. Each workout is fun, unintimidating and tailored to you.
Shop the müüv Bike.
Stamina DT Pro Rower
Best for your gym junkie
The Stamina DT Pro Rower brings gym-like sophistication and durability to a home rowing machine. Experienced rowers will appreciate its smooth stroke. You will work all major muscle groups with this rower’s magnetic and airflow resistance technologies.
As opposed to other rowing machines, this rower requires some serious effort to complete every stroke. Does your loved one enjoy a challenge? Pair them up with this rowing machine. It might be a match made in heaven.
Shop the Stamina DT Pro Rower.
Home Studio Reformer
Best for your pilates lover

An AeroPilates reformer allows you to perform more than 300 different exercises and customize your resistance. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Bonus: Many of our models also fold for easy storage. Dive into AeroPilates with a look at our Home Studio Reformer 392.

Vertical Climber
Best for your wannabe adventurer
A vertical climber offers all the benefits of climbing, minus the mountain. It’s perfect for those who want to bring a taste of adventure to their home workouts.
The Stamina Cardio Climber mimics mountain climbing for a low-impact cardiovascular exercise. As you climb, you will engage every major muscle group and burn excess fat.

Fitness Gifts for the Apartment Dweller
Home gyms can exist anywhere, even in tiny spaces. Give your fitness-loving friend who needs to save space equipment with a small footprint. These types of equipment are easy to cart from room to room and store when not in use.
Compact Striders
Small machines with a big impact
Compact ellipticals are portable, and they fit under desks and dining tables. They’re practical for the person with no space for a dedicated home gym. Whether you use the machines sitting down or standing up, our InMotion Compact Striders help you reap the benefits of running or jogging without putting pressure on your joints.
Compact striders are great for beginners, people with joint problems or those who would like to move more during the workday. You can take your compact strider wherever you go, from the living room to the office.
Shop all compact striders.
Fitness Trampolines
Put a spring in someone’s step
Working out should be fun, but often it isn’t. Staying motivated to move is the hardest part of working out. A fitness trampoline may be the ticket to more motivation for that friend who needs a push.
Who doesn’t want to feel like a kid again? Indoor fitness trampolines are easy to use, and they don’t take up a lot of space. Each bounce helps you burn calories and tone your lower body.
Shop our fitness trampolines.
Small Stair Steppers
Cardio that’s not intimidating
Do you have a friend or family member who is tired of the treadmill? Steppers are excellent choices for runners. Pounding the pavement or hitting the treadmill day after day can strain your joints. Yet, many low-impact exercises aren’t as thrilling as going for a run.
Steppers are the best of both worlds. They are easy on your joints, and they can still keep a fast pace. Stamina’s selection of steppers are non-motorized, featuring built-in wheels that make transportation and storage easy.
Beginners also benefit from the simplicity and ease of use that fitness steppers offer. Cardio doesn’t have to be intimidating or tricky.
Shop all steppers.
Workout Gifts for the Remote Worker
Remote work is here to stay. Treat your friend who’s always at home to machines made for multitasking. Our collection of office exercise equipment keeps you moving throughout the day, even if you never leave the house anymore.
WIRK Under Desk Exercise Bike
Your best-kept fitness secret
You’ve got a comfortable chair, the right lighting and photos that make you smile on top of your desk. What could make your home office space even better?
Our WIRK Under Desk Exercise Bike fits unobtrusively under your desk, so it doesn’t impose on your carefully crafted aesthetic. With plenty of space to pedal, you won’t have to worry about knocking your knees on your desk.
This desk exercise bike is also the ideal office companion. It’s easy to take back and forth from home to the office. Plus, it’s silent. No one will know you’re secretly burning calories.

WIRK Ride Exercise Bike & Workstation
Work out while you work
Finding time to work out is hard, even if you are at home! Your friend or partner may have ditched their daily commute, but now their workday seems to extend past the 8 to 5.
While you encourage them to stick to a healthy work-life balance, you can also help them promote their physical health. You could get your friend or partner a standing desk. Or you could get a bike that also functions as a desk.
Turn productive workdays into productive workouts with the WIRK Ride Exercise Bike & Workstation. While you cycle, you can set up your laptop or spread documents out on the large workspace. Tired of sitting? You can release the adjustable desk from its position and push it away to ride standing.
Shop the WIRK Ride Exercise Bike & Workstation.
WIRK Ride Exercise Bike & Strength System
Make productive days even better
Take working from home—and working out at home—to another level. The WIRK Ride Exercise Bike & Strength System combines the WIRK bike with upper-body resistance cords. As you power through your workday, you can pedal or pull on the cords to engage your entire body.
Use the large and sturdy work surface to complete tasks while you move throughout the day. When you’re done, fold the WIRK Ride and roll it into storage. Then celebrate. It’s all in a day’s work.

Gift Ideas for the AeroPilates Lover
Got an AeroPilates addict in your life? Gift some of our beloved (and highly sought-after) AeroPilates accessories for use on and off the reformer.
Box and Pole
Take AeroPilates to the next level
Help your parent, partner or friend enhance their workouts on the AeroPilates reformer. No reformer Pilates routine is truly complete without the Stamina AeroPilates Box and Pole set. Use the box and pole with your reformer for support and stabilization.
For standing exercises, the AeroPilates pole acts as your partner, helping you balance so you can focus on the movement at hand. The box opens the door for more exercises, expanding your possibilities on the reformer.

Spine Corrector Barrel
Support the spine and improve posture
As we age, our muscles weaken, and our spine loses its natural curve. Often, you can see this loss of curve in older adults, who stand stooped or appear to have a hunched back. Give a gift that helps your mother or spouse strengthen their ab and back muscles, and in turn, better support their spine.
Shop the AeroPilates Spine Corrector Barrel.
Magic Circle
Pilates for the traveler
The AeroPilates Magic Circle is truly magic for people on the go. With this small piece of equipment, your Pilates lover can perform targeted mat workouts anywhere. People who travel frequently will find the almost 15” rubber ring easy to pack. The Magic Circle helps users tone their inner and outer thighs, upper arms and chest.
Not a traveler? The Magic Circle adds a unique twist to exercises on the reformer. Those who own a reformer will find using the Magic Circle is a welcome addition to their routine.

Precision Rotational Disk
Reduce risk with rotation
Balance. Coordination. Hip strength. We all need to work on these as we age, train or recover from an injury.

The EvoRoller can be used as a regular foam roller and as a tool to target deep muscle tissue. Each EvoRoller includes two EvoFocus points, which can be attached to the roller via a built-in slot. Once you pop the EvoFocus points into place, you can make adjustments to get them exactly where they need to be.
The EvoRoller comes with a carrying bag, so you can tote it to the gym or office easily.
