How to buy for a gym lover
Gym people have strong preferences for gear, so check the model, size and brand before buying. Recovery, comfort and event entries are safer picks than new equipment.
Avoid weight-loss or body-shaming gifts, even as jokes.
Order dates
Shoes and watches should be ordered by early December. Class packs, entries and a personalized game can be sorted much later.
