Every year it's the same routine...decide who you are getting gifts for, ask them what they want, they respond "oh, I'm sure anything you get will be lovely", and you are left to figure it all out on your own! Many times this leads us to very expensive gifts outside our budget, an anxiety attack, or the impulse buy at the register of a remote control holder for their chair.
If you are ready to break the cycle of crappy, unhealthy gifts than we are here for you! :)

5. Nike Fuel Band
Great Gift For: EVERYONE (especially for anyone that has movement, health, or weight-loss related goals)
Why: This gift is perfect because it is totally different than any pedometer or other fitness type tracker you (or your recipient) has ever used before. The band syncs with a smart phone app and tracks your progress throughout the day and even gives you challenges and awards when you accomplish new goals. Rather than simply tracking your steps, or calories burned, the Nike Fuel band makes an even playing field by telling you how much "fuel" you've burned. This fuel is a number calculated off of your weight, height, and goals so it is far more accurate than any other method. The best part is, you can stay accountable to your friends by joining with them on the app.
This new, revamped model will be sure to make you the best Santa around!
Cost: $149.50
Where to Get it: apple.com (FREE Shipping until December 22!)
4. Kettlebell & DVD
Great Gift For: Kettlebell Enthusiasts & anyone that is interested in learning how to use the kettlebell
Why: The kettlebell is a handheld gym and is truly the best fitness tool, apart from your own body weight, that a person can use...when you know how to use it. Purchasing a kettlebell for someone is like giving them a gym, and purchasing a great DVD is like giving them a personal trainer. This is a perfect gift to help people stay consistent and see the results they want to see.
Cost: DVD - $19.95, Kettlebell - $20 to $75 (depending on the size of bell)
Where to Get it: DVD - strongfirst.com, Kettlebell - Fitness Factory Outlet in Naperville, or Fitness Experts in Naperville. Let them know that Center-Fit sent you for a special discount! (if you aren't sure what size bell to buy, just give Steve a call and he can help you out)
3. Yoga Gift Set: Yoga Mat, CD, Class Punch Card
Great Gift For: ANYONE! (this is literally a great gift for ANYONE! Especially yogis or people that deal with a great deal of stress)
Why: Show your love by giving the gift of yoga! By giving the gift of yoga you are giving the gift of peace, serenity, and joy. Create your own gift set by purchasing a yoga mat for them to use at home or at a local yoga studio, grab a CD of yoga music, praise and worship, or sounds of nature allowing them to meditate at home, and then finish off the set with a 5 class punch card to their local yoga studio. This gift will definitely leave the recipient feeling all warm and cozy inside!
Cost: Yoga Mat and CD - $35 (approx), Class Punch Card - $50 to $150 (depending on specific studio prices)
Where to Get it: Yoga Mat and CD - amazon.com or yogaaccessories.com, Class Punch Card - a local studio in their area, and of course Center-Fit! Click here to purchase a punch card for Center-Fit's yoga classes.
2. Movement Therapy (classes or training)
Great Gift For: Anyone that complains of aches and pains, or moves with restrictions (if you often hear, "oh man, I have bad knees", or "my back is killing me again", then buy this for them right now!)
Why: If you've ever experienced aches and pains when you move you know exactly why this is the perfect gift. Moving free of pain is everyone's right as a human being, however in our society this is not too common. Far too often we feel pains and aches in joints, or poor range of motion in our movement patterns. These things can happen due to age, injury, or improper movement, but so many of these issues can be corrected or at the least symptoms and pain can be reduced.
This gift will be like none other you can give, because you are truly giving the gift of pain-free movement and to someone that moves with pain, that is the best gift they will ever get!
Cost: $0 to $65
Where to Buy it: You can purchase movement therapy from any certified trainer that is a specialist in movement. If you are in the Chicago, Aurora, Oswego, or Yorkville areas than Center-Fit is a perfect place for you to go, but if you are not local and would like this style of training you can go to primalmove.com and look up an instructor in your area.
Center-Fit offers a FREE movement screening to start off, access to Restoring Movement classes, or even personal training with movement specialist Steve Bradford. Call 630-449-7331 for more details or e-mail Steve directly at steve@center-fit.com
1. Gift of Health
Great Gift For: Anyone that wants to get healthier! (or lose weight)
Why: The gift of health is the one gift that will NEVER want to be returned! If you want your friends or family to live longer and happier lives, then give them (and yourself) the gift of health!
