Finding the perfect gift for the athlete in your life can be tricky—we get it. Many athletes have finely tuned routines and are ultra-particular about the products they use, and for good reason. That’s why we created this gift guide—to make your holiday shopping easier.

Whether they’re an endurance junkie preparing for their next marathon, a strength-focused athlete chasing a new PR, or someone who thrives in sports of varying disciplines like CrossFit or team sports, we’ve got something for all of them.

From trusted sports nutrition favourites and recovery essentials to some thoughtful stocking stuffers to let them know you understand their commitment to their athletic ambition, you'll be sure to find the perfect fit—let’s dive in!

 

For Your Endurance Athlete

Endurance athletes are always chasing new limits—whether it’s shaving seconds off a race time, powering through a long gravel ride, or crossing the finish line of their first triathlon. The sports nutrition products below will support their performance and recovery to help them go the distance and come back stronger.

• Blonyx HMB Sport: Prolonged exercise leads to muscle breakdown and post-training soreness, but HMB Sport works to preserve the integrity of muscle tissue, accelerate recovery, and make tough training more manageable. It’s ideal for helping endurance athletes stay consistent in their training, even through grueling cycles.
• Blonyx Beta Alanine: During high-intensity efforts, lactic acid buildup can lead to fatigue and that familiar burning sensation. Beta Alanine helps buffer lactic acid, extending time to exhaustion and allowing athletes to push harder through critical hill climbs, interval sessions, and finishing sprints.
• Blonyx Hydra+: Proper hydration and energy management are both critical components of endurance sports. Hydra+ combines real-food ingredients like fruit juice, coconut water, and sea salt to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, while organic cane sugar provides quick energy. It’s perfect for long runs, rides, or all-day hiking adventures, especially in the heat.
• Beet It Sport Nitrate 400: These one-of-a-kind nitrate-rich beet juice shots naturally boost nitric oxide levels in the muscles, enhancing blood flow, oxygen delivery, and muscular endurance. The vasodilatory effects of nitrates even help kickstart recovery by flushing out exercise byproducts produced by the muscles more efficiently. In our experience, many athletes find that nitrate supplementation has one of the most perceptible impacts of any sports nutrition product out there!
  
  

Why they’ll love them: Together, these products cover muscle integrity and preservation, stamina, and hydration needs—essential pillars for any endurance athlete.

Can’t decide? The Blonyx Endurance Bundle includes HMB Sport, Beta Alanine, and Hydra+, a comprehensive sports nutrition stack that compliments just about any endurance athlete’s routine. It’s the ultimate gift for helping them push their limits next season, and you can count on that! 

 

For Your Strength Athlete

Strength-focused athletes, whether they’re into powerlifting, CrossFit, or bodybuilding, rely on products that help them build muscle, enhance power output, and recover from strenuous exercise more effectively. The sports nutrition options below are designed to help strength athletes build power and recover faster.

• Blonyx HMB+ Creatine: Combining HMB with creatine monohydrate to preserve muscle tissue and accelerate recovery while also improving strength and power output, this supplement reduces soreness and enhances recovery between sessions. It’s perfect for athletes striving to boost strength, minimize recovery time, and stay consistent in their routine.
• Blonyx Beta Alanine: High-intensity efforts, like heavy lifts and AMRAPs, demand endurance and power. Beta Alanine buffers lactic acid, delaying fatigue and increasing the training volume athletes can achieve—whether that’s hitting extra reps or maintaining intensity during challenging workouts.
• Blonyx Hydra+: Hydra+ provides real-food hydration and energy, combining fruit juice, coconut water, and sea salt for electrolytes and organic cane sugar for quick energy. Designed for both performance and recovery, it helps support muscle function, maintain fluid levels, and kickstart recovery post-training.
  
  

Why they’ll love them: These products are tailored to the needs of strength athletes, supporting muscle building, power development, and recovery—all key to successful training and performance.

 

For Athletes with Multiple Specializations

Athletes training for CrossFit and team sports like soccer, rugby, or obstacle racing who mix disciplines need versatile products that support strength, endurance, and skills like balance and agility. The products below offer a comprehensive solution to cover all their bases:

• Blonyx HMB+ Creatine: HMB helps preserve muscle tissue and reduce soreness after intense activity, while creatine enhances strength and power output. Together, they improve both recovery and power, making it perfect for athletes balancing explosive power and repeated bouts of intense effort.
• Blonyx Hydra+: Long practices, games, and training sessions demand optimal hydration. Hydra+ is a versatile hydration drink mix crafted from real-food ingredients like coconut water, mango, passionfruit, and sea salt. Its athlete-first formula ensures athletes stay hydrated without the excess salt found in sports drinks while providing electrolytes and quick-digesting carbs to replenish energy lost during high-intensity efforts or long, sweaty sessions.
• Blonyx Beta Alanine: Short bursts of speed and power are critical for team sports and multidisciplinary activities like CrossFit. Beta Alanine works as a lactic acid buffer, delaying muscle fatigue, increasing time to exhaustion, and letting athletes adapt more easily and maintain their edge during sprints, shifts, and sets.
• Beet It Sport Nitrate 400: These nitrate-rich shots enhance oxygen efficiency and blood flow, supporting endurance and promoting recovery. They’re an excellent addition for athletes who require stamina throughout long matches or competitions.
  
  

Why they’ll love them: Athletes tackling various disciplines in their sport need products that support their dynamic performance needs, from power output to stamina and quick recovery. These products are designed to meet the demands of diverse training and competition, making them an easy addition to any sports nutrition regimen 

 

Stocking Stuffers for Every Athlete

Sometimes, the best gifts come in small packages. We love stocking stuffers, and these practical options are perfect for athletes of all types:

• Blonyx x Specialized Purist Water Bottle: Great for staying hydrated on the move with a premium bottle that prevents drinks staining the bottle or leaving behind any unpleasant, residual aftertaste.
• Blonyx Multivit+: A two-a-day real-food multivitamin with 21 essential vitamins and minerals that support performance, recovery, athletic longevity, and overall health.
• Blonyx Resistance Bands: Great for warm-ups, mobility work, and resistance training anytime, anywhere.
• Blonyx Lacrosse Ball: A must-have to keep in their back pocket rolling out those tough muscle knots and making recovery significantly easier.
