We’ve curated a list of Father’s Day gift ideas that will give the gift of fitness and health, long after the holiday has gone. Whether you have a father, grandfather, godfather, father-in-law, brother, beloved uncle, or someone else who takes a father’s place in your heart—it’s time to celebrate the special men in your life.
1. CAP PULL UP BAR
Also called a “door gym,” this strengthening apparatus attaches to any doorway without the need for screws or any other hardware. Perfect for getting in a quick “pump” before your man takes on the day. You can also take it down and use it on the floor for crunches and pushups!
2. FITBIT ALTA HR
The Fitbit Alta HR is a wearable fitness tracker to help keep track of heart rate, steps, calories, distance and more. It can even be programmed to give him reminders to exercise—so you don’t have to! If your man is like mine, you won't really need to remind him. We recommend the black and stainless steel model, but it’s also available in colors like blue-gray, stainless steel, black, and gunmetal.
3. MISSION TECHKNIT COOLING TOWELS
These cooling towels help keep you cool up to two hours, thanks to hydro active technology. He can bring it to the gym, on hikes, bicycling, or wherever he’s likely to break a sweat. I mean, you could even take these to Walt Disney World Resort. It's HOT in Florida, y'all!
4. MONOGRAMMED GYM BAG
Your man will work out in style when he walks into the gym with his new monogrammed gym bag. It’s handsome, southern, and stylish, enough to make him want to use it as often as he can!
5. BLUE APRON SUBSCRIPTION
Help him eat healthy at home by getting him a food box subscription like Blue Apron. This particular company allows you to modify the meals to accommodate your taste buds and personal nutrition needs. Plus, he’ll be able to experience the joy of cooking at home with the included step-by-step instructions. Best part, he'll be cooking for YOU!!
6. WII FIT FROM NINTENDO
This is a fun and easy way to exercise at home. With this system, he can keep track of calories burned, learn to balance better, and learn more about training. This is a great gift for a guy who enjoys the TV, and is in the early stages of getting fit.
7. STAND UP PADDLE BOARD
A stand up paddle board is just the thing for heading out to the lake, river, or beach this summer. Paddle boards help develop core and arm strength. For this gift, be sure you have an accurate height—appropriate board and pole lengths are dependent on this information.
8. MASSAGE
Massages are beneficial for everyone and do wonders for mental relaxation. Treat your man to a massage—any style he likes! Some gyms even offer this extra service for a small fee.
9. GOPRO CAMERA
A GoPro camera may be all the incentive the man in your life needs to get out there and be active. Don’t forget to include an activity accessory so he can really take advantage of all that the GoPro is capable of.
10. MEN’S JOURNAL MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION
Flipping through the pages of this leading men’s magazine will encourage your Father’s Day gift recipient to get in shape and stay in shape. It even includes a substantial men’s fitness section with diet and exercise tips. Then, we ladies can steal and drool.
11. UNDER ARMOUR WATER BOTTLE
On the weekends, this decidedly masculine water bottle is perfect to bring to the gym, take on hikes, or even sit in the cup holder in his golf cart. And, because it’s made of insulated stainless steel—on weekdays he can use it to hold his Pink Drink on-the-go. That's HOT, ladies!
12. CAMELBAK BACKPACK
Give your Father’s Day gift recipient the gift of freedom with this hydrating backpack “system.” These roomy backpacks are stylish, comfortable, and above all, functional. H20 hands free? Yes, please!
13. CAPTAINS OF CRUSH GRIPPER
This hand gripper helps to strengthen hands, wrists, and arms. Any man on your gift list would love to receive this convenient way to exercise at the office, at home, on the commuter train, or anywhere else.
14. SABLE RESISTANCE BANDS
These resistance bands are an excellent Father’s Day gift for your grandfather or a favorite uncle! He can use them while sitting down to increase his upper body strength, at a level that he feels comfortable with.
15. EXPERIENCE DAYS EXPERIENCE
What better way to entice your guy to get more active than by arranging the whole experience for him? These exciting experience options range from balloon trips, to flying lessons to NASCAR driving! This kind of gift is also a great way to spend more time with the man you love, since many of the experiences are for two.
16. 23 AND ME GENE TESTING
This is definitely an out of the box kind of Father’s Day Gift, but hear us out. With the information your brother, dad, husband, or whatever man you’re looking to buy for gets from the 23 and Me test, he will have greater insight into his health, including what kinds of diseases he should look out for, and where his physical strengths and weaknesses are. The whole process is done through the mail, and results arrive by email in about a week.
This list of 16 Father’s Day Gifts for 2018 ensures you’re not at a loss for gift ideas. Whether it’s for your dad, grandpa, hubby or son, no matter which gift you choose, you’re sure to get a big ‘ole thanks!
Awesome post.
