Gym Gifts for Father’s Day That He'll Actually Use

There’s nothing wrong with a new tie, grilling utensils, or a bottle of aftershave. But if you want to move beyond the cliché fitness gifts for dad (or grandpa, uncle, cousin – whoever that special dude in your life is), give him something that will keep on giving (gains) for years to come: an upgrade to his home gym.

Now. Of course, a top-of-the-line $1,000-plus power rack would render even the dad jokes speechless. But if you’ve got a normal budget but an above-normal (fitness-loving) father, here are some fun gifts he will love.

Workout Gifts for Dad Under $50

Gym Equipment and Accessories

REP® Gym Flag

He’s not a regular dad. He’s a cool dad. Get him some new gym swag that reflects that, like this gym flag. 

Pinnacle™ Bumper Plate Coasters

How cool are these weight plate coasters?! Get your dad a set so he can keep his coffee table clean while showing off his love for the gains.

Lifting Straps

If dad lifts heavy, dad could use some lifting straps. Choose between black, white, and red straps — whichever best suits your dad's style.

Hook-and-Loop Patches

Hook-and-Loop patches are the perfect gift if your dad has the Strata™ Weight Vest and wants to add some style to his setup. However, they'll work on any hook-and-loop-style fabric like Velcro® or others.

Fitness Supplements

Purist® Whey Protein

Gains require fuel—good fuel. Purist® Whey Protein packs 25g of whey protein isolate per serving. For dudes with sensitive tummies (yep, we said it), you don't have to worry about digestion-disrupting artificial sweeteners and ingredients—because there aren't any. Just protein to help you hit those macros and get them gains, aka one of the best gifts dad could ask for.

Purist® Hydration Powder

If your dad's a runner, tackles HIIT workouts, trains hard, or just sweats a lot, a hydration supplement is a great gift to help him replenish what he loses in sweat.

Purist® Pre-Workout Powder

Help your father super charge his workout with a pre-workout that features 175mg of PurCaf® natural caffeine and a nootropic blend to help with focus and motivation. Plus performance boosting (and clinically studied) ingredients like Citrulline Malate, Beta Alanine, Betaine Anhydrous, and Taurine — supporting muscle strength, blood flow, and endurance. 

Purist® Creatine Plus

If your dad isn't taking creatine, it's time to help him get with the program. Creatine is one of the most widely studied supplements, and shown to be safe for the general population. Creatine Plus only has two ingredients: Creapure® creatine, the cleanest form of creatine there is, and Chromax®, which helps support metabolic health.

Fitness Apparel

Men's Virtus Light Compression Tights

These leggings help to wick away sweat and keep your dad cool — from the gym to the garden to the basketball court. They also feature strategic pockets so he can keep his phone from bouncing as he hits his pace.

Men's Virtus Light Compression Shorts

These light-compression shorts are breathable, moisture-wicking, and treated with Silvadur® technology to help eliminate odors. The high hip pocket can also help to hold down essentials so they're not banging around through jogs, runs, or workouts.

Foris Boxer Briefs

Exercise Gifts for Dad Under $100

Gym Equipment

Gym Bag

If your dad is hitting the gym, he needs a gym bag. The REP® Gym Bag features plenty of storage for all of his gear, plus a dedicated compartment for sweaty gear or shoes, helping to keep the rest of his stuff separate, fresh, and clean.

Stone Sandbags 2.0

Get your dad the Stone Sandbag 2.0. He'll fill it up with sand, then throw it, carry it, heave it wherever he wants. Just so long as he keeps it out of the garden, everyone's happy.

Fitness Apparel

Men's Aerix Tee

The Aerix T-Shirt was built to keep athletes cool as temperatures heat up. The micro-mesh fabric is quick-drying and breathable, improving air flow to help keep your body temperature regulated. Plus it features raglan sleeves and four-way stretch, improving mobility during lifts, yoga, overhead work, and more.

Men's Attis Joggers or Attis Jacket

Choose between the Men's Attis Joggers or Jacket to keep the price under $100 — or splurge on both for a matching set, because honestly, doesn't your dad deserve it? This Attis sweat suit transitions from workouts to recovery, breathable on hot days but warming when the temperatures drop.

Men's Attis Shorts

Men's Magnis Heavyweight T-Shirt

The Magnis is a natural pump cover, ideal for wearing before the pump begins, but its flattering fit, four-way stretch, and heavyweight construction works for casual hangs and everyday wear, too.

Fitness Gifts for Dad Under $200

Gym Equipment

Adjustable Plyo Box

Dads love multi-purpose gear. Good bang for the buck. The Adjustable Plyo Box is three plyometric boxes in one. It takes just 30 seconds to switch the height between 16”, 20”, or 24”. After stepping and jumping galore, Dad could add one more use, too: This sleek, steel box would make a nifty end table for a cold one when sitting on the patio recovering and gazing at the lawn. And by cold one, we obviously mean cold glass of protein powder. A brotein shake. Fit dads, raise up your glasses!

Adjustable Kettlebell

Know what Dad needs? More kettlebell. Always more kettlebell. An Adjustable Kettlebell packs five weights in one compact frame, so Dad can get his gains without taking up valuable garage real estate. It’s quick and easy to adjust the weight – the fastest and most convenient adjustment on the market. Choose between three different sized kettlebells, depending on how jacked your dad is. (We know; your dad can beat up our dad...)

Strata Weight Vest and Plates

Whether your father is a hiker, walker, or runner, the Strata™ Weight Vest is a simple way to help add load to his training. This weight vest features multiple adjustment points for a dialed-in fit, plus, adjustable weight plates that increase the challenge as strength grows.

Wall-Mounted Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar

A wall mounted multi-grip pull-up bar provides so much more diversity in movements and training compared to the typical door-jam variety (let us not forget the fail videos. Don't make dad that kind of internet famous). Not only can the REP wall-mounted variety handle up to 700 lbs, but you can get creative with attachments like bands, rings, and straps for even more exercise versatility.

REP® USA Premium Leather Lifting Belt

If your dad has supported you through life, maybe it's time to give back with support he can use through his lifts. Made in the USA, available in black or brown leather, and compliant with USAPL and IPF competition standards, this lifting belt helps to create inter-abdominal pressure through deadlifts, back squats, and more, which can help keep the spine protected through heavy lifts.

Recovery Tools

RAPIDSTRIKE Massage Gun

Don’t get Dad a massage. Get him unlimited massages, whenever and wherever he wants them. The Rapidstrike Massage Gun features intuitive speed control that automatically adjusts based on how much pressure you apply. It comes with four massage heads that each hit differently. Plus, the gun only weighs 2.3lbs and is compact enough to bring anywhere in its own carrying case.

Premium Workout Gifts for Dad 

Colorado Mixed-Use Bar

Rubber Coated Olympic Plates

Help your father build out his home gym with your choice of individual pairs or a full set of Rubber Coated Olympic Plates. This is the sort of gift that's perfect for someone who likes training with a barbell or needs an upgrade to their old school iron plates.

AB-3000 2.0 Adjustable Bench

A FID bench is the sort of gift that keeps on giving — opening the door to flat, incline, and decline training. 

REP® x PÉPIN™ FAST Series™ Adjustable Dumbbell
