Twyfit joins us with some workout gift ideas for the holidays. For more information on Twyfit, located in Clawson, visit www.twyfit.com.

1. In home fitness:

You can start with small stocking stuffers like a jump rope, resistance band, hand weights or a Physio ball for the beginner for under $50.

The next level would be fitness machines such as home gyms or cardio pieces like a treadmill or elliptical which can be several hundred to several thousands.

Another option. Is to hire a trainer to come to the home.

If it is a trainer you want to make sure they are certified by a reputable organization such as ACE, NASM or ACSM and are currently insured.

2. Fitness Gadgets

For someone looking to track their progress there are a myriad of fitness trackers that sync with your phone. There are the simpler ones as low as $79 on up to the most advanced items which can run several hundred dollars.

3. Gym Memberships/programs

Most gyms and studios offer memberships and/ or packages for fitness classes and personal training. Shop around to find a place you think your loved one will feel comfortable with. For someone who does not like the big crowd a smaller studio may be a better choice.
