We aren’t exaggerating when we say that the Eight Sleep can change lives. Several of our editors run warm and have struggled to get comfortable during sleep, and that can greatly affect recovery. The Pod Cover 5 allows you to personalize the climate in your own bed and create an optimal, restful environment—whether that’s a chilly, camping-like feel or a cozy cacoon. There are some new updates with the recently released Pod Cover 5, which is an amazing piece of tech. But if you wish to save a few hundred dollars, we’ve also used the Pod Cover 4 for years before with no complaints.

Not everybody has room or the resources to put a real infrared sauna in their house, and going at the gym can be tedious despite all the great benefits. HigherDose found a solve for this problem. A sauna in the form of a sleeping bag, this is the ultimate gift for the fitness person who loves a deep relaxation session in between physical activities.

The smallest tool in the Theragun arsenal, the mini massage gun packs a serious massage in a slight frame. It offers three speeds, a trio of attachments, and the battery life is also killer, offering the same 150-minute capacity as full-sized models.

This high-functioning weighted vest distributes weight evenly and is great to throw on before a strength and conditioning set or just some added resistance as you knock out a bodyweight workout. It’s one of our all-time favorites, combining function and efficiency.

Buying weights for your home can get expensive, and not everybody needs the fanciest gear. I am very impressed with this set from Feierdun, which arrive to your doorstep in a neat little box. The assembly is very easy, and anyone can do it. The weights tighten up solidly and the rubber won’t damage your floors. I found the dumbbell and kettlebell set-ups to be the best for this set, while the barbell is fine for beginners, I’d recommend buying an actual barbell. The 22.5-lb option here is a decent place to start, but for just a little more you can get up to 45-lbs per dumbbell.

If you’re looking to gift a space-saving piece of home gym tech that allows you to do foundational lifting movements like bench presses, squats, and deadlifts, that looks good in any space, here’s your pick.

Ah, the sock, the oft-overlooked key to a great run. These running socks are built for the joggers of the world, offering great support and the layer you need between your feet and your favorite running shoes. They cushion and cradle in equal parts, making the run all the more comfortable.

The Nike Vomero has long been considered one of the ultimate comfort shoes for runners, and the Vomero 18 does not deviate from that lineage. Laced up, you immediately recognize that this is a tall shoe with a noticeable 46 mm stack height in the heel and a 10-mm drop into the 36 mm forefoot. Like a few of Nike’s newer editions, the Vomero 18s feature a combination of foams to provide both energy return and comfort. The top layer is a PEBA ZoomX foam (which is indicated by the big “ZOOMX” on the side of the heel) and the bottom layer is the ReactX foam. All things considered, this running shoe does have some heft to it, but once you get moving, you hardly even notice it.

This is one of those small pieces of gear that’s a game-changer, yet many don’t have anything like it. This timer allows you to calibrate your training sets and rests, helping you keep good pace. Being able to use this, clipped to your clothes, instead of your phone keeps you focused and dialed in, so that you can make the most of your gym time.

Part of a great workout involves feeling good during it. That’s an easy thing to knock out with this exceptionally cozy hoodie from Alo Yoga. The jersey-like fit is sharp and ideal for moving in unison with the body. It’s also comfortable enough to rock outside of the gym as well.

Don’t just have one favorite fitness shirt when you can have one for every day of the week.

Those who train know that people who workout go through clothes quickly, and you can never have enough shirts for the gym.

Our style and fitness Editors at Men’s Health are no strangers to Vuori’s Sunday Performance Jogger: We’ve been wearing the pants to our workout sessions at the gym, morning jogs in the park, daily errand running, or just as part of our everyday casual outfits since 2020. As a result, not only did we find it to be one of the best workout clothes out there, but we also think it’s arguably the hands-down best jogger in the market right now. If you’re gifting them, he will surely love them equally.

Row whenever you want to with this sleek rowing machine. You get on-demand water workouts with pros, and the sensation is about as good as the real thing (minus the sometimes foul weather). The design is extremely ergonomic and tilts up easily using the wheels so that space is saved when the rower is not being used.
