Hello! I have been working with a personal trainer for a couple months now, and she also teaches several of the group classes I take. I would like to get her a small gift for Christmas, maybe around $30 or so. Any suggestions for good gifts for personal trainers?

    if you don't know anythign about them personally, then soemthing liek this, yeah. otherwise i'd look for something non-profession-related, assuming i had any info about their non-professional interests at all.

    One client gave me an Under Armor Hoodie ($45), and the other gift I received was a straight-up $100 bill. I’m completely flabbergasted and grateful for both gifts.

    Whatever you decide, your PT will appreciate it.

    Cash is king! Grocery store giftcard. Is a good idea as well.

    " I have been working with a personal trainer for a couple months now..." And during these couple of months, while engaged in polite conversation with your personal trainer between sets, have you been able to find out what her, hobbies, likes or pastimes are? Get something that fits in with one of those. Or do you just talk shop with no effort to get to know each other?

    Honestly, who doesn't need cash? Write a nice card about how great it's been working with them and how you really appreciate them. Or a g'c to someplace they've mentioned they like.

    I asked something similar last year. In the end I settled on a bottle of bourbon and a steak house gift certificate because he told me he rarely splurged but when he did it was on good meat and bourbon.

    Gift cards or extra cash. My trainer is also my powerlifting coach. He attends most of my meets and I pay for his admission fees and give him extra cash to help pay for gas and sometimes gift cards. His training fee is extremely reasonable and does an excellent job of programming so I think he really deserves the extra cash/gifts as a small token of my appreciation

    Only if you're sure the person likes coffee.

    Cash is king IMO.
