Written by Flexshopper

We have seen so many changes in 2020, including the way we work out. So, if you have fitness enthusiasts on your gift list, you may find it tricky this year to find the perfect present. A few things to consider might be:

  • The type of exercise. Do they enjoy yoga, running, or maybe lifting?
  • How they exercise. Do they work out alone or in a group?
  • Where they exercise. Do they run the beach or the neighborhood? Do they prefer classes or working out at home?
  • Competition and record keeping. Do they track all of their fitness accomplishments and goals? Are they training for a race or event?
  • Level of fitness. Do they own their own equipment? Are they ready for an upgrade or addition to their routine? Are they just starting their fitness journey or is this their life’s passion?

Exercise Equipment

For the fitness enthusiasts who want to enhance their workouts from home, getting the right equipment is a must. Pandemic or not, the most dedicated of fitness enthusiasts will do what it takes to reach their health goals. Here’s a few ideas on how to make the best home gym for yourself or a loved one.

Treadmills

For the runner or walker on your list, a treadmill will keep them logging the miles even when the weather isn’t so agreeable. Check out the Sunny Health and Fitness Smart Treadmill. This machine will actually make running more interesting with a auto incline, built-in sound system, and Bluetooth function.

Fitness trackers have become an indispensable tool for monitoring your progress during a workout or even while sleeping. Not only is it an essential tracking device, it is also motivational. You can create healthy habits by constantly being reminded to move, can monitor your heart rate, and can provide a baseline for a beginning exerciser. Depending on the individual’s needs, the selection of trackers and smartwatches is vast and varied.

Apple Watch Series 6

We like the Apple Watch Series 6. This watch will let you measure your blood oxygen level, take an ECG, or track your sleep, steps, and workout.  No need to bring your phone when you are out for a run, you can take calls and reply to texts from your wrist.

Fitbit Sense

You can monitor your skin temperature as well as high and low heart rate notifications. Of course, you can track activity, calories burned, distance, heart rate, sleep, and steps.

This smart watch tracks running, cycling and rowing, helping you improve your exercise routines and set realistic goals. It’s low-key and comfortable design allows you to wear at all hours of the day, whether you’re hitting the gym or sleeping in.

1 If you are approved for a lease this is your estimated weekly lease payment. On this site, we use the terms "lease," "lease agreement," "rental-purchase agreement" and "agreement" the same. (We usually use the term "Lease.") Under your Lease, you can: (a) weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments or exercise an Early Purchase Option pursuant to your payment offer (not applicable in FL, NC and TX) and some restrictions may apply in CA to acquire Ownership of the rented goods or (b) rent the goods for at least the initial term and then end the lease when you want by making all required payments and returning the goods. In NC, the final payment required to purchase the rented goods will be an amount greater than 10% of the Cash Price. If you are approved for a loan the weekly payment is only an estimate. Please review the actual terms in your loan agreement if you are approved. Your rates, terms and payment schedule are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria and may vary by state. FlexShopper provides offers for Lease to Own Options, however, we do not make any loan or credit decisions and are not representative, brokers or agents for any Lenders.

3 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina, the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item. The Cash Price may be higher than the cash price you would pay if you were to purchase the item directly from the merchant shipping the merchandise on FlexShopper and/or affiliates behalf. If approved by another payment option provider the cash price is the invoice amount of the item excluding taxes, shipping and other fees.

5 Good credit is not necessary but not everyone with bad credit is approved. Our goal is to help consumers with not so perfect credit get goods they want through a payment offer that works for you.

7 An initial payment or security deposit and/or payment may be required before fulfillment.

8 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina you will own the item(s) and not have to pay any additional amount if you pay the full Cash Price (the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item (or $50 more than the price the merchant you select charges) plus sales taxes and may be higher than the price you would pay if you were to purchase the item(s) directly; if you rent multiple items at the same time, we reduce the Cash Price (and increase the Cost of Rental) by $50 for the second and each subsequent item you rent, which makes it less expensive to purchase the items before the end of the term of the Lease). After 90 days, you also have an Early Purchase Option that allows you to own your item(s) for less. Simply refer to the table in your Lease to look up the Early Purchase Option amount after each payment date. If approved by another payment option provider please refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

9 All lease/loan decisions and rates and terms are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria related to the applicant’s credit quality. Rates and terms may also vary depending upon the state where you reside.
