We put together the perfect Fitness Focused, Eco-Friendly Gift Guide for the athletes (or aspiring athletes) in your life! Starting with…

APPAREL

Outdoor Voices provides active clothing options for men and women but offer a unique design that caught our attention…The Exercise Dress?!  We were skeptical of this ‘dress’ for anything beyond tennis. However, with 368 total reviews averaging 5 stars currently, we took another look. 

It’s design includes a full body suit underneath for support and comes in nine colors (including a sassy leopard print). 

Reviewers shared that “it is perfect for every kind of activity whether that be running, going to class, working out, hiking, climbing, anything and everything!” ($100, 9 colors, sizes 0-14, www.outdoorvoices.com)  

Outdoor Voices commits to transparency and sustainability with fabric purchases, packaging materials, and waste reduction.

EQUIPMENT

Iron Company offers a no frills, on-line shopping experience for some of the best, eco-friendly, made in USA equipment, weights, and flooring. 

They carry green technology cardio equipment line with integrated micro-inverters built in.  The first of its kind to harness the power of human energy and put it back into the grid. 

Their line of bumper plates are produced from recycled crumb rubber. It is heated to a high temperature and vulcanized to produce an extremely durable bumper plate.    

These plates are recycled from rubber that is diverted from landfills all over the country. It then becomes brand new American Made bumper plates.  Each one is recycled, molded and tested in the United States as well. This insures superior performance and longevity. Available in mulit-color or black. (products range from $27.00-$4,995 www.ironcompany.com)

SHOES

“Better things made in a better way” – this was the vision of Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger in setting up All Birds, an eco-conscious shoe company based in San Franscisco.  So, the company produces shoes made from natural fibers. This includes locally-grown and sourced merino wool.

There are only three guiding principles All Birds follows: design simplicity; comfort; and the use of natural materials.

Consequently, All Birds abhors synthetics and anything that can harm nature. Also, the brand only uses recycled cardboard and similar biodegradable materials.

Working under these principles, All Birds now has a B Corp certification. Primarily, this B-Corp certification means that a company complies with the “rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency”.

Additionally, All Birds gives back to communities that need help through the Soles4Souls program.

Currently, they ship only to the US, New Zealand and Australia. However, other regions and countries are coming soon. The Company also offers a return inventory option under the ‘rerun’ category with 30-50% off retail prices! ($95-$135 mens & womens www.allbirds.com)

SOCKS

Our last company, Rockay, is a Denmark based business that produces socks and calf compression sleeves. 

So, what makes them so special?

Their 2021 goal was to produce products made 100% from ocean recycled plastic sold in packaging 100% from recycled materials!  Also, all product designs offer a 100% guarantee. ($14.95-49.95 www.rockay.com)
