It’s quite hard to believe that it’s nearly Christmas. Where has this year gone?

I thought I would quickly put a post together that might help if you’re stuck for ideas for anyone who goes to the gym, attends classes or even goes out running. Christmas Ideas for the fitness fanatic, happy shopping…

Gym Goer

MP3/MP4 player

Getting a mp3/mp4 player for the gym won’t break the bank.  From £15.99 there are plenty of options.  From listening to music to watching a film or an episode from the big bang theory.
