The 6 Best Types of Fitness Stocking Stuffers - 2024

• Spring Clips to help hold the plates in place on the barbell 
• A Dip Belt to wear around your waist and attach to plates so you can do weighted dips, weighted pull-ups, pull a sled, or do belt squat exercises.  
• If you've got a belt, the REP USA Leather Utility Loop packs a ton of power, versatility, and challenge in a small package. You can hook this guy onto your lifting belt, attach the included chain and carabiner to a cable machine or weights, and add resistance to bodyweight exercises.  
• Fractional Plates to add a wee bit of weight to the bar. These tiny plates come in two sets of ¼, ½, ¾, and 1lb plates.  
• A Peanut Roller to dig into the hard-to-reach areas of your body to help with recovery.  
• Lifting straps to help keep grip on the bar, especially useful for bodybuilding.  
• Wrist wraps, to add stability to your wrists during the bench press, overhead press, and other upper-body exercises.  
• A jump rope for cardio (and fun).   
• Got a functional trainer? Many cable attachments (D-handle, REP USA Accessory Strap, Sports Handle, Ankle Cuff) are small enough to fit into a stocking. 

2. Gym Clothes

Santa loves clothes. Or is that us?  

It’s both. You can’t go wrong with some new gym clothes that’s functional enough to wear lifting but fashionable enough to wear beyond the gym. We’re a big fan of the Men's Peak Tri-Blend Crew (in eight different colors) or the Women's Daily Driver Cropped Dual-Blend Tank (in five different colors). Picture it rolled up with a red bow around it.

Long-haired gym-goers may also appreciate a new cap to keep their hair out of their eyes. The Peak Cap (an unstructured "dad hat") comes in five different colors. Or the REP Cap is made with mesh fabric panels for breathability during hard workouts. 

Other ideas 

Workout shorts and pants. The Men's Versa Shorts -- REP's most versatile shorts -- come in three different colors and are equal parts performance and lifestyle. (Plus, they look great.)

For women, it's hard to beat the Hera Tights. If you haven't lifted in a pair of these squat-proof pants, prepare to be impressed. High waist. Flattering compression with unrestricted movement. Pockets! They have pockets! Roll these suckers up, slide them in a stocking, and kick of the new year in strong girl style.   

3. Healthy Snacks

The weights are only part of the picture for a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition is the second part. Luckily, you can fit all kinds of tasty, healthy snacks in a stocking. Mother Nature does a pretty good job with her menu (nuts, apples, oranges, probably don’t stick a banana in there though). Plus, oranges and walnuts are traditional holiday snacks, dating back to the Great Depression.  

Beef jerky is a win, too. To-go packets of protein powder are practical to toss in your gym bag and car, so you never find yourself hangry in a Taco Bell drive-through line. Package some protein bags or specialty coffee inside a fresh, new REP Tumbler. Top it off with some healthy protein bars (don’t be fooled by glorified candy bars with 3 grams of protein claiming to be protein packed).  

4. Techy Goodies

Ear buds are a staple in most gyms, especially commercial gyms that like to play Justin Beebster on repeat. A new set of ear buds would be a useful stocking stuffer – or if they already have a pair, get them an ear bud case cover that matches their style.  

Some lifters like to count their steps and manage their phone on their wrist. A smart watch can help them meet those goals.  

Runners will love an armband to hold their phones while they’re hitting the pavement.  

Another functional digital gift would be a subscription to an online workout program, like Juggernaut AI. Buy a year membership and present it in a card in their stocking. Then under the tree, wrap up the equipment that corresponds with their program. 

5. Fitness Equipment Bestsellers

For a no-fail gift, stock your stockings with REP's bestsellers -- the smaller ones that can fit in a big red sock. 

• Change Plates:  Every fraction counts when chasing those PRs, and the REP Change Plates allow you to make small jumps to inch toward that next one rep max. 
• Flat Sandwich J-cups 2.0: If your loved one has a 4000 or 5000 Series REP power rack, upgrade their lifting experience with these J-cups, which fully protect the knurling on your barbell, feature a larger opening, and are taller than the original cups.
• Massage ball: Optimize your mobility and reduce muscle soreness pre- and post-workout with REP’s Peanut Roller.
• Yoga mat carrier:  Easily and comfortably transport your yoga mat with the Yoga Mat Carry Strap.

6. The New Releases

If your Gym Buddy the Elf already has everything -- or they want the latest and greatest fitness goodies -- go with some of the newest products. Here are some that would fit in a large sock hanging by a fireplace (sounds so weird when you say it like that): 

• Leather utility loop:  Add versatility and challenge to your workouts without taking up much space, when you use the REP® USA Leather Utility Loop with your lifting belt. 
• Leather accessory strap: Tricep ropes got nothing on this upgraded cable attachment. If your loved one has a cable machine, they can add a ton more options to their functional trainer with the REP® USA Leather Accessory Strap.
• Lifting straps:  ​​​​Lift heavier for more reps with the assistance of Lifting Straps. Or if Oly lifting is the hoist of choice, opt for the new Olympic Lifting Straps. 
• Short loop bands: No, you can never have too many types of bands.  Add Short Loop Bands to your gym to help you warm-up, strengthen muscles, improve mobility and recovery, and perform rehab work.
• REP Mountain Cap:  These stylish, structured hats comes in 10 different color combinations.
• REP Tumbler:  This high-quality tumbler is made from stainless steel with an ultra durable polycarbonate lid to ensure durability for everyday use.
