If you’re anything like me, it’s possible you still haven’t finished your Christmas shopping! So, here’s something that might help get you over the line this year. Around this time of year I often hear the same question: “What should I get for someone who loves working out?”

Whether you’re forwarding this to a partner who’s stumped, a parent who wants to “support your hobby,” or you’re just treating yourself (yesssss to this!!), here are my top picks for 2025.

The Essentials

1. NZ Muscle Protein – $49 This is what I recommend to every member. Clean ingredients, tastes great, mixes easily. I use it myself every day! Stop by the gym to get some. I’m a fan of Vanilla Ice cream, but we got some other flavours to try out! 

2. Quality Dumbbell Can’t go wrong with Flex Fitness Nz. Buy once, use forever. https://www.flexequipment.co.nz/

3. Prehab/Rehab Strength Bands from Industrial Athletic For anyone who’s serious about their accessory work. These make a real difference. https://www.industrialathletic.com/collections/all

4. A good pair of shoes – https://www.newbalance.co.nz/ – great for you runners out there!     
https://www.rebelsport.co.nz/shop-by-brand/nike/nike-metcon-training-shoes/ – a good all round shoe for inside the gym.

The Experience Gifts (These Are Actually the Best Ones)

5. 3 or 5-Pack of Personal Training Sessions – $225 or $375 Whether they’re brand new to fitness, rehabbing from an injury or just want to level up, this is the gift that ACTUALLY changes things. One-on-one coaching to nail down form, build a plan, and break through plateaus. 

6. Rx Fitness 235 Membership Gift Card –  The gym membership they’ll actually use. Print it out, put it in a card, feel like a hero. If they are a current member, just e-mail us and we will sort it out! 

7. January On-Boarding Membership Program – $299 Perfect for someone who’s been “meaning to start.” Our proven 4-session program that makes beginning easy. New year, new start—but with actual coaching and support. 

8. Lean Body Nutrition Programme – $475 THE best nutrition programme that prioritises long term change but guarantees results. If you want a COACHED programme that gives you more than just meal plans to follow – this is the one you need. We start 17th January and spaces are limited!!

9. Kids Program  (Ages 7-12) and Strength Starts Here (Girls Teens Programme) These one’s are special. 10 weeks of programming designed specifically for the demographic they are serving—building strength, body positive mindset, and confidence. Starts in February. 

A note to anyone reading this who isn’t an Rx Fitness 235 member yet: Most of these gifts work for you too! And if you’ve been thinking about joining, January is the perfect time. We make it easy to start, and you’ll have plenty of company.

P.S. If you’re forwarding this to someone, add a note about which ones you actually want. Trust me, it helps.

Have a VERY Merry Christmas!!
