What is in your gym bag?

LuckyStar813

I am new to working out and we have a fitness room at my job. I have workout clothes and shoes. And hair ties. And ya know deodorant. I don't have a bag unless you count a grocery bag LOL

What type of bag do you use and what do you keep in it?

Bag depends on whether I'm already dressed (tote) or changing out (duffel). At min, I pack tunes, headphones, water bottle, hand towel, weight lifting gloves, & HRM.

I have a crappy duffel style bag. I really need a new one.

Sneakers

Bra
Capri bottoms
Socks
Bathing suit
Shorts
Swim cap (2)
Googles (2)
Flip flops
Towel or two
Makeup bag with face moisturizer, eye makeup remover and deodorant along with female products

Hair dryer
Hair brush
Hair ties
Headband

Lock

Baby diaper


I have a separate bag I keep for running clothes since I either run in the gym clothes above or I'm running outside and don't need to haul that all to the gym.
I usually just throw it in a lulu lemon shopping bag.

Winter tights
Socks
Sports bra
Wicking shirt
Two or three warmer layers
Jacket
Hat
Gloves
Sneakers
HRM strap


To add - I get my workouts in when I can and live farther away from town so I always have a bag packed and in my car for times I am in town and can go. Sometimes I plan it but I also have to pack a baby up so it's easier to have it always ready.
The gym is often just one of many stops.

I use a gym on campus at my university, so I have my backpack with all my things for class, and then I have a separate tote back for my gym clothes (I use it because my friend got it for me for Christmas, and it has a custom print that says XXVI.II to commemorate my first marathon that I ran last year ). In my gym tote, I have my shoes, running socks, my running clothes, a buff for wiping the sweat away so I'm not 100% gross post-workout, my ipod shuffle and headphones, sometimes I remember to throw deodorant in there, and sometimes I bring my garmin the event I run outside instead of in the gym. That's it!

Gym clothes or office clothes (depending on time of day), towel (never leave home without your towel), deodorant, body wash, weightlifting shoes, 1.25lb microplates, volleyball pump & needles, crapload of plastic bags, and probably a couple of thriving microscopic civilizations.

So glad I asked. This info is great!!!

I use a Patagonia Black Hole daypack. I keep toiletries (deorderant, QTips, toothbrush and paste, razor), I Pad, earbuds, shoes, swim trunks, sandals, goggles, pad lock, shorts, cycling kit and heart rate monitor.

This way I have everything I need in case I change my mind on what I want to do on the way to the gym or during the day. If my time gets crunched, I may opt for an hour in the pool. If a meeting gets cancelled, I might decide to get on the ellipitcal for two hours and watch a movie!

Cranquistador

I don't have one.

maxit

Tote (recycled from a national park): combination lock, sweat towel, shoes, sox, workout log, sweatshirt to throw on before I go (I arrive dressed to sweat, and clean up at home).

It is not very fun getting out of the pool/shower with no towel. I've done it. Walking to the gym I was wondering why my bag seemed smaller. Ugh.

My gym provides them (as well as toiletries) but Monday late afternoon they tend to be really low for some reason. I've learned to stash two in my locker before I head to the pool.
