You love your best friend, but her on-again, off-again relationship with the gym is playing with your emotions. You think she looks great and you always applaud her decision to eat healthier and start a regular workout routine, but you also aren't surprised when she turns to a get-slim-quick trick to try and detox away the pounds after yet another indulgent weekend. Tired of lecturing her about the dangers of juice cleansing? Get her on a healthier track with these thoughtful gifts anyone would love, no matter how reluctant they are to change not-so-healthy habits.

LuliTonix Cleanse
You've heard her declare "I'm going on a juice cleanse" one too many Mondays. Instead of encouraging her to starve for five days, gift her with a three-day smoothie-based cleanse from LuliTonix ($180). Chock-full of fiber, chia seeds, and nut milks, this cleanse will give her the clean break she says she needs without depriving her of her daily calories.
Tory Burch Fitbit Fret Pendant
You remember the day she got her fitness tracker, but you haven't seen her rock one in ages. Help her dust off her Fitbit Flex ($100) by gifting her with a covetable Tory Burch pendant necklace ($175), made especially for the Flex, that will motivate her to rack up those stats every day.
EiR Cooling Balm
Climbing back on the fitness bandwagon means one thing: after a particularly intense sweat session, she's bound to be sore the next day. Don't let DOMS discourage her; pair this tin of EiR cooling arnica butter ($20) with a cute zippered pouch ($18) that she can throw into her gym bag or purse for on-the-go relief.
Grey Area Cobra Cat Yoga Mat
Fitness should be fun, so keep her laughing whenever she rolls out her yoga mat for an at-home sweat session. The Grey Area Cobra Cat Yoga Mat ($56, originally $80) will put a smile on her face before she fires up her favorite workout DVD.
The Blender Girl Cookbook
Celebrities from Julianne Hough to Gwyneth Paltrow swear by smoothies for weight loss and energy, and that is all the endorsement she needs. This cookbook from popular blogger The Blender Girl ($20), full of quick smoothies and meals she can whip up in her blender, will help her start the day on a healthy note.
You've Got This Throw Pillow
Show her you believe in whatever she puts her mind to, whether it's hitting the gym or swearing off soda. This You've Got This throw pillow ($97) from Etsy will be her daily reminder as well.
HelloFresh Meal Delivery Service
Does she always vow to forgo takeout for healthier homemade dinners — then promptly fire up her Seamless app when things get hectic? Time for a HelloFresh subscription. The meal service focuses on healthy, fresh ingredients, all perfectly portioned for two or four people. Each box contains ingredients for three meals for the week, which take under 30 minutes to prepare. Get her a gift card for one classic box (from $69) or vegetarian box (from $59) to help jump-start her home-cooking resolutions.
Nike Leg-A-See Leggings
A basic black legging with a subtle athletic twist, the Nike Leg-A-See Logo leggings ($45) are perfect for any workout — or, when paired with her favorite boots, a fitness-free weekend of errands, coffee dates, and brunch.
NutriBullet
She's going to need a high-powered blender to make all those nutritious meals. The NutriBullet system ($120) blends fast and easily converts to a to-go cup, so she can power up for that prework SoulCycle class you finally convinced her to sign up for.
ClassPass
Nothing bores her more than the gym, so give her a fitness gift she'll actually look forward to. A monthly ClassPass ($99/month) unlocks unlimited studio sessions around her city (New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, and Seattle are the locations currently offered); she can go from indoor cycling to Pilates to circuit training without getting stuck in a rut. ClassPass is a monthly auto-renewing subscription, but you can also email info@classpass.com to discuss one-time gifting options.
