Personal trainers do an excellent job of helping people reach their fitness and nutrition goals by providing advice, guidance, and support throughout their clients’ fitness journey. They’re always striving to help people feel better about themselves, so why not treat them once in a while, too? Whether it’s for their birthday, Christmas, or just to say thank you, we’ve made a list of the best gifts for personal trainers.
Gift ideas for your personal trainer
With ideas for a wide range of budgets, including everything from books to fitness trackers, this list is bound to include something that will make the perfect gift for your personal trainer.
The prices listed in this blog are correct at the time of writing and may change depending on the retailer and offers available.
1. Chocolate Workout
The perfect treat for any fitness enthusiast, Not on the High Street offers a Chocolate Workout featuring Belgian chocolate dumbbells and kettlebells. It might not be the healthiest option for an expert in nutrition, but at least they’re in the shape of weights!
Price: £15
2. Gym bag
An important part of any personal trainer’s essential gym kit, having a good gym bag to carry everything you need can make all the difference. There are a lot of different gym bags on the market, so the best way to narrow down the best gym bag for your personal trainer is to find one that’s durable, a good size, has all the compartments they’ll need, and looks stylish! GymShark’s everyday holdall fits the bill, coming in five different colours and in a decent size too.

4. Fitness tracker
Fitness trackers offer many benefits to anyone looking to consistently track and improve their fitness by helping you track your stats during a workout. Depending on the fitness tracker you choose, they are certainly one of the more expensive options in our list of gifts for personal trainers.

6. Portable speaker
No fitness session is complete without some of your favourite music to motivate you to complete that extra set. A portable speaker also offers the benefit of being able to work out to music during both indoor and outdoor personal training classes.

Price: £25.99
