Gift Wrapping Tips for Fitness Equipment

Calisthenics equipment isn’t the easiest to wrap, so here are some simple and tidy solutions:

1. Use wrapping paper and string
   Clean, simple and works around awkward shapes.

2. Put smaller items in gift bags
   Perfect for chalk, wraps, rings and accessories.

3. Wrap gifts in a training towel
   Functional, reusable and zero-waste.

4. Add a personalised training challenge card
   Example: “Your mission: 10 strict pull ups by the end of Jan.”

5. Box long or heavy items first
   Parallettes, maces and sandbags wrap much more easily when boxed.
