🎄Kala Pilates Gift Guide🎄
Hey Kala team, I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe Christmas is around the corner!
Sometimes finding meaningful gifts that will be used and not thrown in the back of the cupboard can be difficult. So, if you’re stuck for useful gift inspiration for yourself or your nearest and dearest, don’t worry, as I’ve rounded up my favourite gifts for this year (Pilates inspired, of course) - what’s better, they’re all under $150!
I’ve focused on high-quality gifts built to last and have been chosen with sustainability in mind - so your gift won’t cost the earth.
Let’s take a look at my ultimate Pilates gift guide!
Kala Pilates Tip 🎁 - Send this article to a loved one and let them surprise you with a Pilates-inspired gift this year!
1. Kala Pilates Gift Card
Give the gift of Unlimited Kala Pilates Online with three months of unlimited Kala Pilates Online for half the price! Only $22.50/mth for an unlimited membership!
Why not ask your loved ones for something you’ll use this year? Not only will this be the easiest gift you’ve ever given (or received), it’s the ultimate gift of health and wellness, and what is better than that?!
2. Bala Bangles
If you haven’t tried Bala Bangles in your workouts yet, you’re seriously missing out. These stylish, fun, and versatile weights help to add extra resistance to your workout. You can wear these bangles on your ankles or wrists to help take your training to the next level. What I love most about these Bala Bangles is that they’re made from recycled materials and come in lots of fantastic colours!
Give your loved one a gift they can reuse again and again. I’m a big fan of the Frank Green reusable bottle, especially as a gift because you can use it for hot and cold drinks, and the colour is customisable, meaning you can find the perfect colour to suit your loved one!
4. Bala Beam
If you have a friend or family member who’s mad about Pilates, the Bala Beam is THE ULTIMATE gift this year. Having tried one myself for the first time this year, I love how easy it is to incorporate it into my home workouts and how easy it is to store. If you’ve never heard of a Bala Beam before, it's a 15-pound bar with an ergonomic design that’s perfect for strength training and improving your endurance and balance - say goodbye to large bulky weights and hello to the Bala Beam.
5. Loop Bands
If you’ve trained with me for a while, you’ll know how much I LOVE using loop bands to increase resistance and add extra fun to my workouts. Loop bands make the perfect gift if you have a friend or family member who has yet to try them!
The gift every Pilates lover needs is long-lasting and comfortable activewear. Lululemon is my go-to brand for supportive workout clothes that give me a full range of mobility without being restrictive - oh, and their pieces are super stylish. Can’t choose which piece to gift? The brand also has the option to select a gift card so your loved one can pick their favorites.

The perfect gift for anyone who loves to workout, the Cork Peanut massage ball helps to target sore muscles and ease tension in your neck, back, and feet. Made with 100% natural materials, this massage ball is completely biodegradable, so it’s the perfect eco-friendly gift.
Hey Harper, is the O.G. waterproof jewellery brand creating super stylish pieces that are perfect for wearing while working out. Wear Hey Harper swimming, to a pilates class, or on a run - their pieces are sleek and affordable and come with a lifetime warranty, making it the perfect gift for any Pilates lover.
Dry brushing is a classic ayurvedic ritual that involves brushing your entire body with a special bristled brush to help get rid of flaky skin, increase circulation, detoxify, help digestion – and even improve the appearance of cellulite.
If you’re already familiar with the benefits of dry brushing or have yet to discover it, the Hydreadry brush is a great place to start. I love the Hydreadry brush as it’s made from FSC-certified wood and features 100% natural bristles and makes the perfect gift!
A new mat is the classic and perfect gift any Pilates lover needs. So why not gift an eco-friendly yoga mat this year to help save the planet? My favourites are the Liforme biodegradable mats which have extra grip and are made from nontoxic materials, and the Mobeco cork mats - made from naturally biodegradable cork.
