Whether they’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, thoughtful gifts that enhance their practice are sure to bring joy. Here’s a curated list of holiday gift ideas that will delight any Pilates lover, including some special items that you can find on Amazon and ways to support a local studio—like ours, Evolution Pilates!
- Gift Certificates to Evolution Pilates
One of the most meaningful gifts you can give is the gift of experience. At Evolution Pilates, we offer gift certificates that can be used for private sessions, group classes, or even our comprehensive Real Pilates Teacher Training Program. With our newly introduced membership options, you can also gift a few months of regular visits, whether it’s a 1x or 2x per week plan with a 6-month term. This is the perfect gift for someone committed to their Pilates journey or looking to dive deeper into their practice. A gift certificate from Evolution Pilates allows the recipient to explore new workouts, deepen their practice, or even begin their path to becoming a certified instructor, making it the gift that keeps on giving!
- Pilates Bar for At-Home Workouts
For those who love practicing at home, a Pilates bar is a versatile tool that replicates reformer exercises. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enhance their at-home routine. We’ve written about how a Pilates bar can be an excellent addition to a home workout, and this holiday season, you can find some great options on Amazon. Check out this Pilates bar that we recommend, perfect for reformer-style workouts without needing bulky equipment.
- Foam Roller for Enhanced Mat Work
A foam roller is another fantastic gift, especially for those who enjoy classical Pilates mat exercises. Not only does it provide added support and challenge, but it can also substitute for various barrels, making it a versatile tool for any Pilates lover. Consider this foam roller that’s highly rated and perfect for enhancing any home workout routine. We also offer virtual lessons to help clients integrate foam rollers into their practice—another thoughtful add-on to the gift!
- Pilates Ring for Core Strengthening
The Pilates ring, or magic circle, is a staple in many Pilates practices. It’s known for its ability to intensify exercises and engage the core more deeply. A high-quality Pilates ring is a great gift for anyone looking to level up their practice. We recommend this Pilates ring, which is durable and user-friendly. It’s another tool we cover in our virtual sessions, making it an ideal gift paired with an online lesson.
- Smaller, Lesser-Known Pilates Apparatus
For those looking to gift something unique and specialized, consider some of the smaller, lesser-known pieces of Pilates equipment. These include:
– Toe Corrector: This small yet mighty tool helps strengthen and correct the alignment of the toes and feet, which is essential for proper posture and balance in Pilates. It’s perfect for anyone looking to refine their practice down to the details.
– Foot Corrector: This device is great for improving foot strength and stability, which is crucial for maintaining balance and proper form during Pilates exercises. It’s an excellent addition to any home Pilates setup.
– Push-Up Devices: These devices are designed to help improve upper body strength and stability. They are especially useful for those who want to perfect their push-up form and increase their upper body strength as part of their Pilates routine.
– Sandbag: This tool, consisting of a sandbag tied to a long rope attached to a bar, is used to build wrist, hand, and shoulder strength. It’s a fantastic gift for someone who wants to add a unique and challenging element to their Pilates practice.
Each of these tools offers a unique way to enhance a Pilates practice, making them thoughtful and specialized gifts for the dedicated Pilates lover.
- Health Coaching Sessions
For those interested in a more holistic approach to wellness, consider gifting health coaching sessions. At Evolution Pilates, we’ve started offering customizable health coaching programs based on individual needs. These sessions can help clients achieve a balanced and happy life by focusing on more than just physical fitness—another great way to support a loved one’s overall well-being.
- Pilates Apparel and Accessories
You can never go wrong with high-quality Pilates apparel and accessories. Look for moisture-wicking leggings, supportive sports bras, or grippy socks that enhance their practice. Brands like Vuori, Athleta and Lululemon offer stylish and functional options. Additionally, consider adding a set of Pilates-specific accessories like Grippy socks by Great Soles a company founded by one of our original instructors or a non-slip mat like this foldable one to protect knees to round out the gift.
