Are you ready for Christmas?   With twelve days of shopping remaining here are some perfectfit gift giving ideas that will impact your recipient into the New Year.

Are you fitness experienced?

You can’t usually wrap it up and stick it under the tree, but an experiential holiday gift can have an intense impact on those recipients who have everything.  As a result, the experiential gift business has exploded in recent years.    I’d like to share some PHC experiential holiday gift ideas that will give a personal touch to your loved one.

For the Health of It

Jump start his or her New Year’s Resolution with a PHC Membership.   This gift will give your recipient a fitness plan that sculpts the body, increases happiness and energy, provides fitness motivation which is experienced all year.   Gift memberships are available for individuals, couples and families.  PHC Members can purchase a holiday Family Add-on Membership starting at $299.

Into the Fitness Wild

For the fitness fanatic who already worksout several days a week.  Create a personal fitness training package of specific sessions with a personal trainer.  These sessions can be customized for weight loss, improve your golf game, increase lean muscle, bridal bootcamp, executive training, marathon training and many more.  One hour sessions are available from $50 – $70 for PHC members and non-members.

Learn How to Maximize Your Exercise Session

Personal Training Express is the perfectfit for the beginner.   These five sessions are designed to maximize your fitness experience.  Simply start with a fitness assessment, establish realistic goals, and take action by following your personal fitness plan developed by a PHC personal trainer.   Personal Training Express is only $150 and is available for PHC members and non-members.  It’s ideal for the “at-home-exerciser” or ”new” gym member. 

Pump Up

Learn how to lift weights when you train with a Les Mills Certified Body Pump instructor.  Class passes can be purchased for one day or up to $100 for ten classes.  Train your mind and body in a YOGA or PILATES class.  Imagine your loved one’s new “buffed” figure in 2008!

Chill Out & Relax

If your loved one just wants to be pampered, then a customized massage is your perfectfit holiday gift.  Massage gift certificates are available from $49.  Everyone wants to relax from holiday stress.

Mini Membership Perfect for the Stocking

If you are still undecided because you don’t know what your loved one wants this holiday.  Consider the PHC Mini Membership - it’s a perfectfit and free!
