1. Folding Treadmill

The Origin Alpha Treadmill is our best value studio treadmill and is the perfect Christmas gift for that work from home family member. If they want to get that cardio kick in-between Zoom meetings, then they wont be left short for choice as the machine has over 40 programs to choose from. The folding design makes it perfect for home offices where space is tight and means it can be folded to clear floor space when needed.

2. Theragun

One of the big fitness trends we're seeing is the rise of massage guns. Theragun is the #1 choice and for good reason. Industry leading technology means nothing quite matches its ability to shorten recovery time. Used by professional athletes around the world, they're not a budget gift by any means, but they do offer a wide range of options to suit everyone's budgets. We know this options will make that special someone smile!

3. Foam Rollers

If you know someone interested in sports massages, rehabilitation, or improving their flexibility this is the gift for them. If they already own a foam roller, then maybe it's time for a much needed upgrade? Whether it's running, weight training, or rehabilitation, foam rollers allow everyone to perform self-myofascial release from the comfort of their own home. Our short and large versions are transportable and easy to store when not in use.

4. Aerobic Decks

As a whole studio gym equipment is probably the best place to look when buying home gym equipment. Consider the Origin Aerobic Deck with its compact design perfectly suited to enable quick home workouts. This is the perfect base for an initial home gym setup as it features additional storage internally and and can be combined with a range of other equipment.

5. Karta Water Bottle

Now hold on, we know what you're thinking a water bottle how boring! But this isn't just any water bottle, this is a Karta water bottle. Multi-functional this bottle will not only hold a hefty 900ml of water but due to its 100% stainless steel design it can be used as a barbell jack to hold over 220kg or 495lb! It helps you to change weights quicker and easier, without needing to bring anything extra to the gym. Plus they, ship across the UK so perfect in time for Christmas!

6. Skipping Ropes

While it might seem basic, this present won't break the bank. As a simple stocking filler consider adding skipping ropes or speed ropes. Our ropes are designed for ease of use, durability, and easy adjustment. Tapered handles provide secure grip that'll be needed during sweaty workouts and the rope is separate from handles to ensure smoother rotations. Well worth considering and they come in different colours!

7. Yoga Equipment

You knew this one was going to be on the list; a simple yet effective bit of equipment these are two of our favourite Christmas presents for family and friends. Our yoga block and bricks are the ideal Christmas gift for yoga or Pilates enthusiasts in the family. They're made from premium lightweight high density EVA foam with anti-slip materials. We recommend combining with one of our Yoga Mats for the perfect combo.

8. Origin Home Gym Equipment Set

Kitting out a home gym doesn't need to be expensive, especially when you have a package tailored made for you. This set has everything you could need or want for a home gym. We like the idea of combining this sort of package as a gift with a monthly home workout subscription like Les Mills or The Body Coach.

9. Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are a great tool for rehabilitation and injury prevention. They also need to be upgraded every so often to maintain their elasticity and stretch. Gifting these for home use is exactly what that family member might be needing to stretch right into the new year. Our mini power bands are the perfect gift as they are lightweight, small, portable and made from strong durable latex rubber.

10. Kettlebells

You can't go wrong with a set of kettlebells, especially a good set of Cast Iron Kettlebells. While sets are a great idea, if you can only get your hands on a couple of kettlebells, that is more than enough for full body workouts. Kettlebells are the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to their versatility. They can be used in a wide range of movements like circuits, strength training, increasing endurance, and building stamina. No one is ever disappointed receiving a few of these at Christmas!

11. Ab Trainer

If you already own an exercise mat or have access to hard flooring then say goodbye to boring ab workouts after Christmas. While planks and sit ups are a great, developing strong core muscle requires proper training of the stomach and oblique muscles. This Christmas gift would make any fitness fanatic happy.

12. Equipment Sets

Save the best for last that's what they say right? If you're looking to take things up a gear, consider a Power Rack Set for the workout warrior in the family. If the space is available why not even treat yourself this Christmas (we're not judging). Fancy something smaller? Then consider our 100kg barbell set, you're sure not to be disappointed.
