3. Subscription at a Pilates studio

Thanks to celebs like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Sonakshi Sinha, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif to name a very few, Pilates as a fitness regime has gained massive popularity. So much so that there's a Pilates studio in nearly every metropolitan city. Celeb Pilates trainers Yasmin Karachiwala and Namrata Purohit have their Pilates studio in Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Jaipur amongst others. Gift your friend a month's subscription (or longer if it suits your budget) of Pilates as it is a fitness regime that can not help become fitter and thinner, it can also help in achieving a better posture, stronger core and muscles.
