Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to get Dad interested in a new workout routine or help him elevate his existing one. The first place to start for the gym junkie is to gauge any goals he is looking to crush. If he’s into bike riding, he might be interested in improving his ride with a bike trainer. If Dad is already hitting the pavement and logging long miles, consider upgrading his smartwatch.
Or maybe he’s been thinking about starting a new routine. A great place to start is with a low-impact elliptical trainer. Whether he’s a novice or an expert, a better set of earbuds for his workout tunes or post-workout recovery gear are great gifts he’ll appreciate.
We’ve selected ten gifts for the dad who works out (or is thinking about it):
If Dad’s fitness tracker is just counting steps and tracking his sleep, it might be time for an upgrade. The Garmin Venu 3S is a great everyday option on sale for less than $400 at Amazon. This GPS smartwatch has a bright, colorful display and up to 14 days of battery life. It features advanced health and fitness features, including sleep coaching, 24/7 health insights, and the ability to make and send texts from your wrist. You can also buy it at Scheels.
Sure, he probably has a water bottle, but he’ll still appreciate one that self-cleans.

An indoor bike trainer is great for gaining speed or getting a ride in if it is too miserable outside.
