As you search for the perfect gift for your loved ones this holiday season, why not consider a gift that will promote health and keep on giving?
From meal services and fitness trackers to gym memberships and outdoor experiences, there are many gifts that promote health and getting active. We asked our team of certified fitness professionals at Premier Health & Fitness Center what their recommendations are for the 10 healthiest gifts to give in 2022. Here is what they had to say:
1. Fitness Apparel
From socks and shoes to pants and shirts and more, new workout gear makes you feel good, which can in turn make you more motivated to work out! Gift cards to a local fitness shop are also a great idea.
2. Meal Delivery Subscription
Food preparation and meal planning remain one of the largest challenges our clients consistently share with us, which is why a meal delivery subscription is a golden-ticket gift. There are meal subscriptions to help with most dietary restrictions and most are personalized to your likes, schedule and desired level of cooking. In addition to subscription services, there are several Tallahassee-area companies that offer prepared meals for pick-up or delivery and that accommodate a variety of dietary needs.
3. A Yoga Mat
One of the most versatile pieces of fitness equipment, yoga mats are perfect for mindful practices like meditation and stretching and for strength and conditioning exercises. This personal piece of equipment can be found at most local retail shops like Target, Walmart or Lululemon.
4. The Oura Ring, $349-$549
The Oura Ring tracks your heart rate, activity levels and training frequency to tell if you are hitting your goals and to make sure you’re giving your body enough recovery time. The finger is the ideal source of accurate heart rate data and more sensitive to movement. Premier’s Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Shannon C. Smith, recommends the Oura to family, friends and co-workers.
5. A Theragun
A chiropractor-developed wellness tool that acts like your own personal massage therapist, the Theragun uses percussive massage therapy to help treat muscle soreness and relieve pain.
6. The Shiseido Sunscreen Stick, $29
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis, and it is the most preventable cancer. The Shiseido Sunscreen Stick glides on smoothly, smells great and offers protection from the sun when you’re on the go. This gift fits perfectly in a purse and glides well over make-up.
7. Smart Watch/Fitness Trackers
In addition to telling time, smartwatches and fitness trackers are the perfect accessory for those multitaskers in your life and can provide a variety of data. From counting steps to more advanced features such as monitoring your blood oxygen level, sleep stages and even stress, fitness trackers offer a variety of features tailored to your needs. Some even come with built-in cameras and GPS.
8. An Airfryer
There are many benefits to owning an airfryer, but the biggest one is the ease at which healthy meals are made, without compromising taste. Airfryers essentially work like convection ovens, allowing you to cook food quickly and get the crisp that comes from frying without all the mess and oil that come with traditional frying.
9. Experiences
Cooking classes, a massage, yoga classes at a local studio, a trial gym membership or membership to a local park, zoo, museum or nature preserve are all good options for a gift that promotes wellness. The price points can support varying budgets, and the possibilities are endless, so get creative! Gifting an experience was the top recommended gift from our Premier team.
10. A 3-Month Membership to Premier Health & Fitness Center, $202.30
Gift the ultimate experience by giving a membership to Tallahassee’s largest and locally owned fitness facility! This 3-month membership includes two personal training sessions, unlimited class access to over 110 group fitness classes - all held in boutique like studios. Did we mention there is a dedicated space for Child Care and two heated pools?
