It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Whatever it is you celebrate, the season of giving is fast approaching and, after the year it’s been, I think it’s needed now more than ever! Sure, it’s not all about presents & it’s important to appreciate being able to simply spend time with the ones you love, but who doesn’t love surprising a loved one with a new gift they’ve been desperately wanting/needing?! And, if you’re not sure what to get your fitness junkie, we’ve got you covered! 

Below is a locally-owned gift guide, perfect for supporting small businesses and giving to anyone who’s looking for more workout gear! Give it to a loved one, or join in on the Shine Pilates Studio gift exchange! If you’d like to participate in our gift exchange, let Lucie know and we will randomly draw names. The gift limit is $25 and must be purchased at a local store or restaurant (ie. no Target or Starbucks 😉). 

Grippy Socks from Shine Pilates Studio (that’s us!)

Got someone who’s been wanting to dive into Pilates, but doesn’t know where to start? Grippy socks are great to give to a newcomer to encourage them to come to the studio for class more, or perfect for someone looking to up their Pilates game!

Running Shoes from John’s Run/Walk Shop

There’s nothing worse than when your running shoes start to wear out, and they’re such an investment that it usually takes me a while before I’m ready to spend money on a new pair. Save someone you love the trouble, and gift them some fresh runners!

Bala Gliding Disc Sliders & Weighted Bands from Eleventh House

Great for at home workouts, so you can always stay on top of your workout, even if you can’t squeeze in a studio session!

The Andi Workout Tote From Eleventh house

A workout tote is often something you don’t realize you need until you have it! It helps keep you organized and ready to be on-the-go between classes at the studio and work, and keeps all your fitness essentials in one place!

Food & Fitness Daily Journal from Joseph-Beth Books

Physical health means mental health too! Gift a journal for someone & give them a private and healthy outlet. This one specifically encourages them to keep track of their health and fitness journey as they reach their goals!

Pre-Pilates Poncho from Peplum

When you look good, you feel good! A nice poncho to cover up on your way to and from Pilates is the perfect way for your loved one to get ready and stay comfortable before and after her workout!

Gift card to Shake It

Looking for a way to gift a healthy post-Pilates treat? A gift card to Shake It is the way to go! They’ll be able to use it whenever’s best for them, and they’ll be in for a yummy reward after a challenging class!
