If you’re the mother of a teenage daughter absolutely DO NOT buy her something fitness related unless she’s been begging you for something. I’ve spoken to too many female clients that relive the moments their moms gave them workout videos telling me how much it scarred them to this day.

Also, a wife giving a husband a fitness gift can easily be construed as another behavior in the nagging spectrum only creating MORE resistance to change like a regressive little boy who will subconsciously refuse to do something just because someone is pushing too hard. STOP. THINK. THEN BUY.

Ok, now that we're clear, here are my TOP 5 most awesome choices for the fitness lover in your life.

A session with a personal trainer your loved one has been talking about. Until someone can experience the value of training they might not be ready to take the leap so do it for them, but choose well, and if your recipient has no one in mind, ask around for someone highly recommended. What might have felt decadent will quickly feel like a necessity through first-hand experience.
