Dad never wants to let on, but he is super proud of you. Make him know YOU know it with a gift that shows that you really get him and what he's all about. These 15 wellness and fitness-minded gifts are going to make Dad realize, yes he did need that, and it's fun to get gifts.

Of course, if like most dads, he also never wants you to pay a lot for stuff that ultimately hits his bottom line (if like most of us you still get a little help from the top), we found the best gifts at the most reasonable prices that show you care a lot even if you didn't spend a lot.

Here are 15 Father's Day gifts that help you celebrate your favorite dad, or the father figure in your life. He's the guy who made you get up and dust yourself off when you fell off your bike, or taught you how to skate, ski, or snowboard. He is also the guy who had your back when you needed it most (and reminded you that the betches in high school never amounted to a hill of beans). Dad is the guy who, ultimately, helped make you who you are. Let him know you really, really appreciate him.

4. Rich Roll's Finding Ultra book, Revised and Updated Edition

This book is the perfect gift for the dad who needs inspiration, and it may just change his life. Rich Roll is an ironman and plant-based advocate with a podcast and a following among macho athletes and weekend warriors alike. It wasn't always the case. On the night before he turned forty, Roll was fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping.

He changed his diet to a plant-based one and began daily training, and morphed in just months from couch potato to endurance athlete. Finding Ultra recounts his journey to the start of the most elite Ultra Man competition, where athletes cover 320 miles of swimming, biking, and running. He then did the EPIC5—five Ironman-distance triathlons in less than a week, each on a different Hawaiian island. Tell Dad you just want him to run a 5K with you.

Rich Roll's Finding Ultra, Revised and Updated Edition, in paperback $13.95.

This relatively quiet bike comes with a built in rack, so Dad can carry everything he needs for his midtown meeting or Saturday pickle ball match. It's not an inexpensive gift, rounding up to 18 Benjamins, but hey, Dad's worth it!

Aventon Electric Level Commuter Bike, $1,799.

13. Hydrow Interactive Rowing Machine

The latest at home workout machine is a new, improved rowing experience called Hydrow. The smooth, sleek machine is just the start of the fun, since Hydrow offers 1:1 coaching, live streamed classes with a screen that makes the rower feel like they are sculling along their favorite river, and a library of thousands of workouts to choose from.  Your lucky dad (and anyone else in the house who wants to try rowing as a sport) will think this is way cooler than a Peloton.

Rowing, or sculling involves a full body motion. You are poised on a sliding seat that requires you to push your legs down and away from anchored foot positions, while your upper body engages to pull the handle into your stomach. The proper stroke involves your legs, butt, abs, back, shoulders, arms and hands – and uses about 86 percent of the body's major muscle groups in any given workout.

Once you bring home your Hydrow, you'll need to join the club with a $38/month All-Access Membership to get access to their library of 4,000+ workouts and the Hydrow App. One Membership includes unlimited profiles for the whole family.

Shop Hydrow's website here. A Hydrow machine costs $2,495.

Want to gift this Pilea Peperomioides houseplant (also known as the UFO plant because of its saucer-shaped leaves) a companion plant? Try the Snake Plant (Sansevieria) for  $49.99.

Then use it as a game and time yourself to see who can stay upright longer without tipping down to one side. It actually energizes you as you stand, and builds core and length strength as you get better at balancing.  The $249 Level is a great option for the price.
