Give the gift of health with these seven ideas:

Class passes to a local studio

Introduce your loved one to a new workout. Or reintroduce an old favorite. There are several locally owned and operated fitness studios in Naples that offer classes in everything from yoga to cycling, kickboxing to Pilates. Many of those studios offer class passes that are available onsite or online that can be gifted to a friend or family member. Think Cycle Guroo, 3080 U.S. 41 N., Naples; Barre Fusion Pilates, 13040 Livingston Road, Suite 2, North Naples; and BVibrant Naples Power Plate Studio, 3619 U.S. 41 N., Naples.

One-size-fits-all leggings

Give the women in your life a colorful pair of one-size-fits-all leggings or capris from a local company called Cima Activewear. Estero resident Vanessa Valdez launched her own activewear company about three years ago. A native of Colombia, Valdez uses a manufacturer from her home country to create the pants from a compression fabric that’s elastic, non-see-through, water-friendly and stays in place during exercise, she said. The leggings and capris range in price from $70 to $80. Find Cima Activewear online at cimaactivewear.com or shop Valdez’s selection at truck shows across Southwest Florida. Follow the brand on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on its whereabouts.

Cold-pressed juice

Gift organic, cold-pressed juice from Naples-based Juicelation, 4947 U.S. 41 N., Suite 104, Naples. Each day Juicelation cold-presses locally grown fruits and vegetables, including apples, celery stalks and leafy kale bunches. Juicelation offers an ever-changing menu of about nine juices, depending on the time of year and what's in season, then packages them in glass bottles. Buy the juice in the store or get it delivered via Uber Eats. Be warned: The juices have a lbrief shelf life, which make for the perfect last-minute gift idea.
