Whether you're shopping for someone who's on a journey to meet their biggest fitness goal yet (like a race!) or someone who simply enjoys getting active for fun, figuring out what fitness gift to get them can be hard. After all, they probably have all the latest wellness gear already.

Don't fret, though. The active person in your life can always use more gadgets to level up their fitness routine. For example, if you're shopping for a gift for a runner, they probably already have headphones, but do they specifically have headphones made for running, like the Shokz OpenRun headphones? They're sweat and waterproof and feature a wraparound frame that helps them stay put.

Or, maybe they have an Apple watch already, but they don't have an Oura Ring. Our editors' love the Oura's undetectable nature, since you wear it like a regular ring and have to go inside the app to track your stats. Then there's things all active people can use more of—like functional sports bras, gym-friendly shoes, or leggings.

Whichever route you go, you can't go wrong with any of the things on this list. After all, it's the thought that counts. Below, shop the 52 best fitness gifts, according to Women's Health editors.
