A Private Group Fitness Class
$50-$200 per person
Many local boutique studios or self-employed group fitness instructors offer private group sessions at a pretty affordable price. The benefit of doing a private group class is that your instructor can give you all special attention and create a class format that meets you all where you are. Some ideas may include:
Yoga Class
Pilates / Reformer Class
Stroller Fit
Zumba Class
Bootcamp
A Relaxing Spa Day
$70-$200 per person
Nordic spas are the ultimate way to relax and unwind. If you're in the Greater Toronto Area, places like Thermea Spa Village and Go Place are awesome full day spas filled with plunge pools of various temperatures, relaxation spots, and additional luxury treatments, like massages, facials, and body treatments. Or if you're looking for some tampering, but don't have the time to make it a full day thing, places like The TEN Spot offer mani/pedis and facials for two-somes and groups. So whether it's just you and Mom, or you and a group of your closest Mom Friends/Sisters, you all can get pampered together.
A Fancy Filter Water Bottle To Help Her Reach Her Hydration Goal
$10-100
All the wellness girlies know, you gotta drink your water! 👏🏽 A filter water bottle, like this cute pink one from Brita, filters out contaminates and gets rid of the gross chlorine taste and odour from tap water.
Or if she’s been eyeing a specific trendy water bottle that insulate her water and keep them cold for all hours of the day, like the Stanley Cup or Owala, those are great ideas too!
A Thick And Comfortable Yoga Mat
$120
You know what sucks? Being excited to do some yoga only for your knees and wrists to hurt from a thin and uncomfortable yoga mat and for your feet to keep slipping on your mat once you start to break a sweat. Mats like the B-MAT are desigend to be comfortable, non-slip, and and have grippy material.
A Class Pass or Gift Card To Their Favorite Studio
$30-75 per class OR $100-500 per class pass
Many group fitness studios offer gift cards and class passes. Ask them where they normal work out and check online to see if they offer class passes or gift cards. Alternatively, if they work with a personal trainer, see if they offer gift cards or session credit passes that you could gift. Here at Growing Goddess Coaching, I offer session credit packs at a discounted price. If you'd like to learn more and purchase one for yourself or someone else, please e-mail me at hello@growinggoddess.ca.
An Instant Pot
$140 (Sometimes on sale for as low as $40)
Anybody who has worked with me or knows me personally knows that the Instant Pot is my holy grail kitchen appliance for all things meal prep! It was engineered to replace 7 kitchen appliances and tools including a traditional stovetop pan (to sear or sauté), slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, pressure cooker, steamer, and food warmer.
A Supplement Top Up
$15-75 per bottle of supplements, $2-5 per protein bar/snack/energy drink
If she’s a supplement fiend find out which ones she normally loves and grab a few for her. Some ideas:
Collagen
Pre-workout supplement
Energy Drinks
Electrolyte Powders
Protein Powder
Protein Bars
Protein Snacks, like Quest Protein Chips or Muscle Mac
