Father's Day gifts for the dad who loves the gym

Neil absolutely LOVES to run and has told me lately over and over how great it makes him feel. This year I was so excited to treat him to some running gear that'll enhance his experience! I knew he'd be excited to put these gifts to good use.

1. Performance Training T-Shirt: He has some of these already but they're super affordable at $29 and extremely functional. Even when he’s not working out Neil loves to wear these around the house while working on projects – they’re perfect!
2. Vuori Trail Runner Shorts: We’re obsessed with everything Vuori, but these shorts are so awesome! These are super soft and have stretchy fabric with tons of great ratings.
3. HOKA Running Shoe: This is the gift that I was sooo excited to give him! These are THE rockstar of running shoes, people are really obsessed with them. They get crazy good reviews and after Neil's first run in Hawaii, he said, “these are AWESOME. I LOVE them. They're super cushiony like you're running on pillows, and they help you spring forward on your run. They also protect your feet really well.”
4. Zip Jacket: I love Vuori so much that I also got him this men’s zipper jacket which is such a comfortable hoodie I know he’ll love to use. This is great not only for before/after workouts, but for travel or anything really! I've actually stolen it from him a couple times already for chilly nights in Hawaii too. SO soft and cozy.
5. Water Resistant Backpack: Neil travels literally everywhere with a backpack that I gave him YEARS ago! It was definitely time for a new one and this one's great for the gym, work, or travel. There are a ton of compartments including a perfect and really protective laptop sleeve.
