I am happy to share with you some fitness essentials every FIT GAL would be happy to receive this holiday season! (All photos are clickable and will take you directly to the site to purchase!)

1. POP FLEX ROSE GOLD FIT PLANNER & CALENDAR COMBO PACK

I have been purchasing the Pop Flex Fit Journal for the past 3 years and this year is the first year it has literally everything any sort of planner would need! This planner has a daily meal planning space, daily to-do list, daily water tracker, sleep tracker, and habit tracker, weekly motivational quotes, week-at-a-glance with hourly time slots, month-at-a-glance calendar spreads, monthly recap journaling, weekly grocery list, illustrated artwork, creative doodle spaces, and double-sided pockets for notes!

2. ORANGETHEORY FITNESS HOLIDAY DEALS

Maybe your friend, sibling, or significant other has been talking about trying a group fitness class for some time now. Look no further than Orangetheory Fitness. They offer some incredible holiday packages that are seriously too good to pass up! Keep in mind a drop-in class at many studios can start at $28 and the heart rate monitor & strap can cost $69+! See deals below:

Core 4 ($99): 4 classes and a Core heart rate monitor!
Flex Five ($129): 5 classes and a Flex heart rate monitor!

The Los Angeles Studios are also offering holiday specials if you sign up for a monthly membership in December! Contact the studio for details.

3. MONTHLY FITNESS SUBSCRIPTION BOX

Ellie Activewear is a monthly fitness subscription box in which you can sign up for the outfit box for $39.95 a month or the outfit and accessory box for $49.95 a month. Even if you want to just purchase a month for a friend or significant other for them to try it out, it is possible! I love this particular subscription box because you can skip months without penalty and shipping is handled in the price! For 15% OFF your first order CLICK HERE and use the code: FITBRITLA15 at checkout.

4. VITAL PROTEINS

It has become a popular trend for women to add collagen intake into their health and fitness regimen. Vital Proteins has some incredible collagen products and proteins to choose from! You can't go wrong with the collagen peptide packets! These are perfect for travel, on-the-go, and to throw in your gym bag and purse!

5. WOMEN'S HEALTH SUBSCRIPTION

Any woman interested in health and fitness would LOVE a year subscription to Women's Health Magazine! It is like getting a gift once a month!

6. TRENDY WATER BOTTLE

Water bottles have become one of the trendiest fitness accessories this year! From foam rolling water bottles to sleek eco-friendly water bottles, I just want them all! Check out these 3 brands that are all the rage right now! MOBOT, HEALTHY HUMAN, AND SWELL.

7. A GOOD FIT BOOK

Both these books focus on a 28 day plan to getting healthy, fit, and feeling fierce & fabulous. Both are filled with recipes, workouts, and much more!

8. FITNESS TRACKER

starting price: $129.95 — starting price: $129.95

I personally prefer my Fit Bit Alta BUT some say the Apple Watch is the way to win over a fit girl's heart! Either way both are great for tracking steps, caloric burn, and all those active minutes throughout the day!

9. FABULOUS FITNESS GIFT CARD

I know I said you don't want to be the "Target Gift Card" giver, so let's make it a little more personal and thoughtful. Let's make sure your fit friend will be purchasing a new fitness outfit or accessory to show off with the new year approaching! My absolute favorite fitness apparel in terms of style and comfort is Sweaty Betty, but by giving a gift card to any of these stores I can promise you, you won't be letting anyone down!

10. PINK PROTECTION

Early morning hikes? Late night runs? Leaving a dark parking garage after picking up that post-workout smoothie? We live in a day and age where women want to feel safe, comfortable, and protected. So why not do it in style? Check out these stylish accessories that will keep your girl feelin safe!

11. MINI TRAVEL FOAM ROLLER SET

starting price: $22.50/Amazon — starting price: $22.50/***Amazon***

A foam roller small enough to fit in a fit gal's carry-on? This gift will definitely not disappoint! Who wouldn't want to roll out those stiff muscles and get the blood flowing after a long flight or layover in the airport?

12. DIRTY LAUNDRY TRAVEL BAG

This tiny dirty laundry bag goes with me on all my trips! When traveling, after all my workouts I simply unzip this mini bag and it becomes my dirty laundry bag. I love it because it keeps those sweaty clothes away from all my other luggage AND when I get back from traveling I dump the entire bag in the washing machine along with the bag itself. Perfect stocking stuffer!
